Again with this delisting... good dollar cost average price but shit i just opened a nice position in sq... so hands are tied
I think block and payal are good long term buys, not sure if one is better than the other though. Both are in a good position to start offering purchases through crypto to the masses.
 
Mannnnn I’m holding off buying but yo it’s a sale!!!

I wanted to start a position in SMH and really thinking of doing the leveraged TQQQ….

I had a leveraged etf before and it did well but I sold it up like 30%.

Anybody here in TQQQ
 
Let me know when Blackrock and vanguard dump their shares... if they dump their shares the stock would plummet back down to a penny stock.. just my opinion...
Blackrock and Vanguard invest in almost every company though so them having money in nio has no significance.
 
I actually own shares, I'm down 15% I'm hoping to break even by nio day then I am out. I like the stock but the CCP is too unpredictable.

I own shares as well... im down.. but nothing i havent seen before.. and yes it can get unpredictable.. i been told that before about just the Chinese stocks in general... and plus its different its strickly and electric car company unlike ford.. where they have traditional and newly found electric.. so all nio eggs are in one basket, where as ford could make mistakes n it may not affect the stock at all... but imma ride it out. For now... the ev market now is getting very crowded...

Keep n mind all it will take is some nio exec to say some dumb shit about freedom or criticize the CCP and :itsawrap:
 
2 index & two tech, no stress
Agreed. What tech funds do you suggest? Got the basic S&P and total market. The tech funds seem a bit daunting. I’d like one with a more than likely return. Given how technology evolved on nearly a daily basis is an “index fund of tech” even really possible?

You can do two vanguard index or etfs. I currently have vanguard vtsax index and the vti etf which are basically the same. My two techs are Apple & tsm. Notice my 2 techs are some of the top market cap techs.

90% of my funds go there and 10% I play with individual stocks and etfs.


Full disclaimer though I'm not a stocks expert like some of the cats in here. I made most of my bread from real estate but I'm starting to get more active in long term stock plays.

Thank you for the input. Real estate has and still is a standard method for wealth acquisition. Trying to get involved there too.

I think VGT and QQQ are the OGs as far as tech funds, so you may want to look at the holdings for those. You'll see some redundancies as far as the companies in those funds vs the broad-market funds you already have, but the weightings are key. If you decide that some fund has more exposure (higher percentage) to some of the companies you REALLY like more than others, that can make a difference as far as your preference.

Also: be cognizant of the expense ratios. Vanguard usually has the lowest fees, which makes a difference over a long period of time and as your account grows.

I kind of do the same thing: have a foundation of a broad-market fund (SPYG) and broad-market international (VSGX) + Nvidia as my main individual stock.

My individual stock picks - tech or otherwise - need to be deep enough within my circle of competence + have me believe enough in the future growth and understanding of the product line for me to realistically commit to investing in that company over a longer period of time . If not, I'll just put more dough into my broad market etfs, which are self-cleansing. Meaning the laggards will eventually fall down and the winners will be weighted higher within the fund over time anyway.

What made you both do an S&P 500 AND a Total US Market fund in the same portfolio? I'm a proponent of one or the other, but see having both as redundant.

To be honest with you, I didn't realize until after selecting them they were basically the same (I was just anxious to get my vanguard accounts started).

I plan to switch VTI out for something different.

Word. That makes sense. Both are good funds (I have VTI in my IRA), but might be better to have the dough in one or the other (or re-allocate like you mentioned).

Nothing wrong with parking ish there until you find another position you REALLY like more.
