Lost almost all my life savings and my family left me
I had invested in various companies as I thought Trump could at least help American companies do better. Fast forward to today and I have lost almost 60k dollars. I told my wife about this and she told me economy could be better in a few months as it will …
Looking for an app that will let me practice investing with fake money
Hi! I'm looking for an app that will let me day trade with fake money. I'm not looking to learn the minutiae of the system, just trying to mess around for fun. I've tried a couple from the app store, but they're all stuffed with AI tutorials and crypto shilling, …
How many rate cuts do you think we'll have this year? And when do you think the next one will be?
Markets are now pricing in four rate cuts for the year, while the Fed’s most recent guidance still points to just two. That’s a pretty big difference. I'm curious to hear what this sub thinks. How many rate cuts will actually happen in 2025, and when do you think the …

Long term s&p500 gains perspective
Interesting thing I looked at today. Current s&p500 value: 4920 S&p500 value in 1996: ~750 This means that the average growth rate of the s&p500 in the last 18 years is 6.7% (not inflation adjusted). Just some perspective for the younger folks who have only been investing for the last …
Found this blog on the New Tarrifs pretty interesting
Just came across this blog and thought it laid out the argument for tariffs in a way that actually made sense. It breaks down how the U.S. can use its consumer power as leverage, why the price hikes aren’t the same as inflation, and even dives into some game theory …
