How safe are Money Market funds?
I'm referring to a money market fund at a brokerage, not a money market account at a bank or credit union. For example, this fund: https://www.capitalgroup.com/individual/investments/fund/afaxx This is not insured by FDIC or NCUA. That's the key difference. These are uninsured. How safe is it to keep money there?
I feel so bad about the future
I'm so scared, don't want to hold any stocks now. Are we heading into 1929 again? # Before Trump, the most unsuccessful American president was also a businessman. # : [https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Vju6rk5LselJuHDTeXikCA](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Vju6rk5LselJuHDTeXikCA)
What do you consider to be the best guide when it comes to investing and managing money?
This isn't me asking for financial advice directly but I just really needed an answer to this question because my high school Econ teacher kept recommending this show called Wealthtrack with Consuelo Mack. But the problem is that we don't use cable at home. We mainly use streaming services. So …
Heads up if you get laid off and contribute to Traditional IRA same year
I had invested around $8,000 over the course of the first 6 months of 2024 into my company's 401k and was laid off. I was unemployed the rest of the year, and just before it ended spoke to a T Rowe Price rep about my options of retirement investing myself …

Switching more to international funds in my 457b?
Currently my 457 is set to 47% large cap, 32% international, then a small amount each of mid/small/bonds/cash. With the massive geopolitical shifts that are happening in the world now, I’m thinking about going much heavier into international funds. Of the five international funds I have available to pick from, …
Would this violate the wash sale rule?
Hey all. I sold a large NVDA put position at a loss last week because I bought them too short-dated at the bottom and knew that the stock would revisit its 50- and 200-day moving averages once it bounced, which it should do Monday. I would like to open new …
ELI5: Leveraged ETFs for the long term?
