New investor, trump is making me nervous asf
Hi, I'm a young investor (22) and have put most of my money into three index funds: an S&P 500 ETF, an All-World ETF, and a Europe 600 ETF. My plan is to hold for the long term (35+ years), and I've read several investing books that all emphasize *not* …
What was the coming into office ‘Trump Bump’ about?
I’m not very knowledgable about the stock market but it does seem odd in hindsight how optimistic the stock market was when Trump came into office. My naive assumption for that would be he would employ lots of deals for his buddies, along with the prominence of Bezos, Zuckerberg etc …
Time in the market beats timing the market
It's so ridiculous right now. I started investing more than 3 years ago. Very diverse - different countries, different sectors, different asset classes, ETFs - a little bit of everything. Just invest and let time work for me. A month ago I was up $22k on my total investment of …
Considering Putting All Current Investments into a ROTH IRA. Thoughts?
I'm still in my very early 20s and I've got some good chunk of money saved and invested into stocks. It isn't an insane amount (especially after the recent decline), but it's still a decent chunk. I was considering transferring all of that into a Roth IRA, but I'm worried …
When and Where are you looking for entry?
Opinions are like buttholes; everyone has one, right? So if you are sitting on a lump sum of buying power, where are you looking to put it and when are you looking for entry? I’m not talking about DCAing; Im talking about entry points for quick gains and turnarounds? More …
$800k in Dry Powder. Do I start DCA or wait for stronger signals of a bottom?
Obviously, time in market > timing the market... but I'd love to hear some POVs on how to approach $800k in cash. My initial thought a few weeks ago was to refine the 3 fund portfolio VTI / VXUS / BND (or SCHD), but things have changed. I also have …
Why are leveraged ETFs not better?
The most common advice I see in this sub reddit is: Dump your money into VOO and then years down the line you’ll be a millionaire. That makes sense and I understand that overtime your investment will grow despite momentary dips in the market. if that’s the case why isn’t …
Where Should I Keep My Money to Buy a Car?
24M. I recently hit a deer and my car was deemed totaled by insurance. They gave me $3000 for the value of the car. Was thinking I needed to get a new one. However, I was able to get the damages repaired for only $2000. I took good care of …
Is this time to invest in index market?
I (54M) have 160k cash ready to invest (condo sale) so I have a simple question: is this the right time to buy various index market stock with all the chaos happening right now? I have 45k invested into XGRO from more than 6 months now. Raise up to 8% …
Why do research analysts prepare "expectations" for company quarterly results?
Why do analysts publish how they think a company will perform each quarter? If they're right or wrong it doesn't change anything and if they're wrong the stock always drops. Seems like there is no upside. A lot of frustration in life (not just investing) is unmet or unrealistic expectations. …
