Diversification - International ETFs
As someone who primarily invests in VOO/QQQ, I know I'm pretty diversified with the exception of international, I never really thought too much about it until recently with all this bullshittery going on with tariff flip flopping. What's the standard ETF people go for for international? Looks like probably VXUS …
Introducing the “this time feels different” drinking game
In an effort to hedge fallout from the 51st state’s boycotting of our liquor, I am announcing the creation of a new drinking game here, in the internet’s very own version of Portland: Every time someone comments “this time feels different”, “orange”, “project 2025”, “oligarch”, “post-war order” or “soft power”, …
Which camp are you in? Buying more versus moving to cash discussion.
The market has been dropping all week. I just received an alert that SPY / VOO (a popular ETF) has crossed below the 200-day moving average. The 200-day MA has historically been a rather important indicator, often signaling further price drops. Many backtests have shown it wise to move to …
I sold 5% bond to buy VTI on Wednesday, added additional 5% on Tuesday, will do another 5% today if market keeps tanking.
(My post was removed by mods from other *investing/finanace* subreddits. Re-post it here as I think the audience here is more receptive.) I think one less talked about reason to hold at least some bond in your retirement portfolio is to be able to buy the dip in times like …

Here are the current platforms I have (and primarily why they are on my radar) I currently have Fidelity (primary: 401k, HSA from company), Meril Lynch (primary: Bank of America …
Worst investing mistakes you made
As context, I’m not a “serious” investor, but I try to be actively monitoring my mix of funds, I don’t just have one big 401(k) set to a retirement target. I also have handpicked a number of different SRI funds although right now I really need to audit them with …
Safe investments to weather current economic chaos.
I’m in the US. I have 1 kid in college now and 1 going in 4 years. I’ve worked hard to save money to help them pay for school. I’m worried that the current economic chaos might cut into those savings, and there might not be time to recover before …
Timing the market? Am I missing something?
I’ve always agreed to never attempt to time the market. But dosent anyone else think it’s time to time the market? Investors are losing faith rapidly and I can’t see that changing for the upcoming years. People will be complaining for 4 years regardless what happens because they just don’t …
