I know what you mean. I currently have 10 windows open, each containing various tabs of stuff I've been researching and I can't wait to get them closed off. I would be fine with an accident but unfortunately I'm too smart for my own good and have setup safeguards for that, like having [SessionBuddy](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edac...) installed in Chrome (which keeps snapshots of all open tabs and windows with the option of saving/naming/editing windows/sessions).

Garbage article. This sentence got me:

  Since BlackRock is allowed to buy up its own ETFs, this 
  means that taxpayers will be eating losses that might 
  otherwise accrue to billionaire Larry Fink’s company and 
  investors
What? The sentence indicates a deep misunderstanding of the subject which the author writes about. BlackRock is (mostly) a fund manager: they earn money on assets under management and not (broadly speaking) when the market goes up or down. If the ETFs BlackRock are buying go down, it simply means they are propping up the underlying holdings - the actual corporate bonds. They will then "create" ETF shares and give them to the Fed. Think of the ETF simply as an IOU.

BlackRock has also said they will be waiving the ETF fund management fee.
