Feeling accomplished-net worth milestone
No one to really tell this to other than my therapist, so posting here. At 30 years old my net worth just hit 200k. I hit 100k in July 2025, and six months later, we’re at 200k. I guess it’s true your first 100k is the hardest. No handouts from …
Question about target retirement fund yield
I was thinking of investing in vanguard target retirement funds and noticed that the yield on the 2030 vs 2060 is about the same. That doesn’t make sense to me because if there are more bonds in the 2030 fund shouldn’t the yield be higher by a bigger margin if …
Roundhill Meme Stock ETF Up 32% in First Two Weeks of 2026

Finance ppl: which niche PM/advisor/analyst have you always wanted to talk to but they never respond?
In finance there’s always that one PM, niche HF manager, weirdly transparent CIO, or ultra‑nerdy CFP who posts insane breakdowns. You send a thoughtful email or LinkedIn message – not pitching, just trying to ask one or two smart questions – and they either leave you on read or never …
Anyone else think ADBE is a good value buy?
It’s hit a triple bottom since 2020 yet its revenue and earnings have continued to grow during that same period and it’s trading at only 12x forward p/e. What am I missing? Is there concern they will be left out of the AI race? Analysts have a $425 price target …

The trade I didn’t lose money on because I didn’t take it
A while ago, I was watching a stock that everyone seemed excited about. Good news, strong price action, lots of confidence in the comments. It felt like one of those trades you are supposed to take. But something felt off. Not because I thought the company was bad. Not because …
The Stock Market is Being Heavily Manipulated
I know what you’re thinking. Anytime a post with this title is made, it’s usually because OP lost all their money and is blaming the market for their poor trades. That’s not the case here. I haven’t lost money, but rather wanted to share my observation that the there is …
Are US semiconductor dependent companies risk of crashing?
Trump threatening to invade Greenland and putting on tariffs on EU countries trying to stop it from happening is one side of the coin. Flip side is ZEISS mirrors from Germany and ASML in the Netherlands putting the machines together to allow Silicon Valley to produce their chips. GER and …
Keep USD or go EUR for $250-500K investment in 2026?
Tough decision that's sparked discussions: if you have $250-500K USD cash to invest before Q3/26 but live between continents (you use both USD and EUR regularly) which currency do you go with to invest with? Can't decide if keeping USD in the US markets then converting later or convert to …
