Here’s why I don’t see the stock market tanking in the next 3-4 years (practical/behavioral reasons)
I don’t see it happening under this administration – and I’m a Moderate btw so I have no dog in a political fight. This is not a political post but a behavioral one. In his last administration, Trump bragged about things like “People’s 401K’s have never been higher” etc…and he …
Buying stocks - Price fluctuations
Am I going crazy or what am I doing wrong. I’ve noticed that as soon as I buy a stock even when am diligently tracking it by the seconds it seems to take a significant dip right after my purchase. So if I’d waited for like another 30 seconds I …
female-centered podcasts for investment different or nah?
I am combing through the different advice for financial podcasts and I see some are "for women"- Is this kind of like the pink pen from Bic or have you all found anything really different? I'm asking because I don't have 30 free hours to listen to three of each …
Where should I put my money
I have about $100k that’s coming out of a CD (4%) next month. Im not good with investing should I reinvest it back into CD or should I throw it into SP500? I do have a fully funded emergency fund set aside. I guess I don’t want anything with to …

Help me play a very low stakes game of timing the market. Would you pull the trigger now, or wait a bit longer?
**Necessary disclaimer:** *Please do not try to convince me that timing the market is not a winning strategy long term. I know that already. Please do not tell me that no one knows exactly what the market will do next week. I know that already. This post is for fun, …
Hypothetical: why doesn’t Berkshire Hathaway split?
I don’t mean split share price. I mean find meaningful divisions in their holdings and become multiple companies. One of their biggest issues, as declared by Warren Buffett, is that they can’t invest in anything except large companies because that’s what it takes to move the needle. If they were …
Accidentally triggered a wash sale for not selling my full 30 days worth of purchases. Realized this and sold the remaining 30-days worth 15 minutes later. Will this clear the wash sale?
So I bought several shares of VTI in February and, given the market downturn today, I had a nice little short term loss to realize. I decided to sell these and buy VOO instead. Well I forgot that I also acquired VTI in late January as well, and I didn't …
Impacts of removing income tax on retirement accounts.
With all the talk about Trump removing income taxes my understanding is this would take away the advantage of a roth ira/401k. If my employer both a traditional and a roth 401k should i just dump it all in the traditional side so i dont get taxed on it today …
