Lego more lucrative than gold as an investment vehicle study SUGGESTS.
- Gold has been pretty static for years. I bought an ounce coin about 10 years ago and it’s worth roughly what I bought it forhardhat
- guess what started 10 years ago? BTC.shapesalad
- Yeah, but Bitcoin wasn't a big deal until about 3-4 years ago.CyBrainX
- Haha. I totally was going to do a calc on what it would be worth if I put that $1800 into BTC instead of goldhardhat
- It would have bought me ~550 BTC (~$26 million USD)hardhat
- It's not too late, perhaps not a 1000x return but a 2x, 5x, 10x are still highly probable.shapesalad

So if I have a stock that isn't performing well but could potentially go up the next day, can I sell it with a "Stop Quote" so that it only sells if it goes down?
Is that a thing? Is that the smartest way in case it jumps 20 points tomorrow?

How safe are Index Funds?
- Depends which index. And if you buy uranium miners index, you are buying 2 good companies out of a 100 for example.shapesalad
- and you are hoping the good ones in the index out perform all the loses of the bad ones + out perform inflation, and the broader market index.shapesalad
- And that the index actually hold stocks and not a basket of derivatives that closely approximate the stocks.monNom
- and that you are not buying a 2x+ return index fund that is _guaranteed to lose all of your money_ if you hold long term. They are for day-trading only.monNom
- And that the provider of that fund remains solvent, and that your trading platform doesn't limit trading (robinhood), and that your holdings are rehypothicatedmonNom
- ...and lost, like MF Global
So, as these things go, pretty safe.monNom - Oh yes, and sometimes they will cancel redemptions. I think in 2008 a bunch of 'good as cash' money market funds did that.monNom

Opinion: ‘Buy the dip’ is a horrible stock-market strategy — and these charts prove it
Hmmmmmm?????

Markets are acting like everything is great, while we're talking about WWIII, inflation, upcoming recession and maybe even a next wave in covid started in Shanghai.
I started to buy some VIX options.
In case you don't know, it's the volatility index for S&P and spikes when negative sentiment rise and stocks start to fall.
- Wasn't VIX under 20 just last days?
Everything is unnatural...******** - < ah yes sorry replied to the copy before taking a look at the image :))********

The Fed Has Made a U.S. Recession Inevitable
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinio…- Where getting out of the quarantines, economies will rebound Q4 even with inflation over 6%
Remember some smart ppl said Covid ends 2023 so yeah...******** - We're*(********
- The Fed is running out of tricks.pinkfloyd
- Nobody knows when Covid is going to end. Be happy if it ever ends.CyBrainX
- Recession is inevitable. But they're raising rates enough that they can cut if we do slow too much. Round and round we go.formed

So if they do find £200m worth of gold - is that not inflationary. Like the fed printing more. Now suddenly there's more gold on the market, so price drops...

Grindr goes public: What to know about the gay, bi, trans, and queer dating app’s planned SPAC.
Probably not until the end of 2022 and they are going public like SNAPCHAT. Just thought I'd leave it here.

I can't be the only one to see Masterworks sponsoring youtubers and getting in-video adverts. They make a nice case for investing in 'Art'... however:

Too many red flags if you are tempted.

Which 401k do I pick?
- doggydoggdog1
- This is always annoying but you kind of need to google each one and read two main things:********
- First, the Expense Ratio. (You want the lowest possible expense ratio.) Second look at risk. Usually it’s rated on a scale of 1 to 5 or something.********
- I’d start by going thru all the Vanguard funds, if none of those seem good to you, go thru Fidelity. Then iShares maybe...********
- I avoid the “Target Ret” funds. What those do is shift their risk profile as we get closer to the year in the name. (Ie. “Target Retirement 2060”) but....********
- ...they charge you a higher expense ratio. So you are paying for that service, built in to the fund offering.********
- Also skip the specific ones like Healthcare and Real Estate. They’re for dorks who want to be able to talk about their portfolio at parties. Ugh********
- If you want a quick pick, I’d pick Vanguard Bal Index Admiral and I’d be very happy with that pick. Set it and forget it.********
- OMFG I just noticed this post is a year old!!!!. lol I’ll show myself out....********

- I like the S&P index myself. Got a bunch of it in may when it dipped to $510. I think either are a good safe buy for the time being. S&P feels a bit more riskymonospaced
- @graf no equities at all? That’s not very fun :)monospaced
