IRA rule for one roll over per year
1) As I read, the one roll over per year rule doesn’t apply to 401k to roll over IRA. Is that correct? 2) Doesn’t apply to Backdoor Roth conversion, is that correct? 3) Can I do Backdoor Roth conversion from traditional IRA more than once as long as it’s in …
Pokemon ETBs are Safe Investments
Pokemon Cards have shown to be a great investment in recent years. But a hot take I have is that individual Pokemon singles, especially modern ones will crash and burn in prices. But something that I think won't ever crash or burn are Pokemon ETBs or sealed boxes. This is …
Conversation on Howard Marks' Memo - "Is [AI] a Bubble?"
I read Howard Marks' memo addressing the widely discussed "AI Bubble." As a novice, still early in developing a deeper technical understanding of AI, I found it insightful not because it dismisses the idea of a bubble outright, but because it reframes what kind of bubble we may be in …

Investing 2000 Euros intelligently
I’ve unexpectedly received about €2,000 back from a debt repayment. Instead of blowing it all in one go on something at Best Buy, I’d like to invest it somehow. I already have a monthly savings plan running for a few ETFs. Should I just dump the sum into that? Or …

I analyzed all of Trump's Truth posts (over 23,000!) and how they affected the market.
For each post, I used AI to analyze sentiment and predict relevant tickers. Then I cross-referenced it with data from Polygon.io. I compared the price 1 minute after the post and then 45 minutes later. Here’s the 5 posts with the biggest bullish impact: 1 ) The famous U.S. Steel …
