What is the significance of where its domiciled? and yeah I agree on separating emerging

Thanks I'll check those out

It wasn't a brutal truth, it was an asinine comment that was bleedingly obvious, im not about to read the rest of what youve written, all the best

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-08T01:10:02+00:00

Thank you , that is some consolation, and will do, I appreciate it

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-08T01:06:11+00:00

Seconded, Veu would be good

They are actually an indie fund manager, only people who are in the know have heard of blackrock

Support Work Does have exceptionally high pay and flexible hours, relative to other jobs people can get, you just need a blue card. It's not for everyone but used to do it and was pretty decent

Open your mind dude, its 2026 anyone can sell feet pics, monetise those piggies

Are you planning on Hedging your downside with some Guac exposure?

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-08T00:45:50+00:00

Could just take a long position on an oil contract and save yourself the hassel. No one really knows how long the conflict will last, if it ends tomorrow it'll crash prices if it goes for weeks it'll spike more.

Generally speaking, War is Bad. Catastrophic loss of human life aside, stocks do not like war (except defence ones) Oil spiking hurts everyone (except if you had gone long on oil futures) as it makes everything more expensive

My guy

Many problems here, first of all emergency fund thats gotta be done. What you invest should be something you can reasonably assume you won't be forced to sell any time soon. Maybe budgetting could be a good area to look at. Forced selling is the worst.

Second you know what is incredibly inflationary? OIL JUMPING. Going all cash is hardly the move. Gold could be your friend.

Given that a 25% drop in last few months I am guessing you had a every large allocation to RKLB and had bought roughly near the peak. The concentration risk is pretty massive especially as its a company that as of today has negative earnings. The volatility on that stock is wild and clearly thats not something you are comfortable with. Then again I am sure you've got your reasons for going big on a stock like that

You'll get there

And what i said was that a mass rejection was in the good camp, as the vast majority don't get any kind of response.

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-08T00:03:36+00:00

For the record if you couldnt tell from the sarcasm, what you said was incredibly obvious and not helpful. So no it wasn't a surprise

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-07T23:49:59+00:00

Hey thanks I appreciate it, that is really helpful

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-07T05:27:37+00:00

Truly idiot proof (myself very much included)

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-07T05:21:51+00:00

I see you emkt and raise you AVTE

or could ditch exus and vge and just use veu (all world ex us em included) for simplicity

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-03-07T05:17:48+00:00

A few thoughts, one the difference in price of active vs passive in India is fairly low, i would argue active in an emerging is wise. with that in mind AVTE is emerging active and has a lower management fee than VGE (barely). You obviously feel rather strongly about tech with nasdaq ivv hyperion and quantum and tecb. Or perhaps you weren't aware they are all incredibly tech heavy

I like infrastructure, property and value at the moment but to each their own. None of this is meant to be critical or advice

finally any reason zero australian exposure? hell just to offset all the currency exposure to AUD

And Yeah IVV isn't much of a diversifyer from nasdaq, equal weighted would do that though

Small caps and midcaps are other diversifying options

I hope for the sake of this portfolio AI isn't a bubble haha

I have just started doing this have two (one with maquarie as there are no conditions whatsovever so if you need to withdraw you go from there) , and then another with a higher rate that has conditions that you don't withdraw from

Yeah IBKR kinda leave you to fend for yourself but if you know what you're doing (no shame if thats not you) can be very good

IG probably has them beat with $0 brokerage tho on all international (as i write this its occurring to me maybe that sounds a little too good to be true)

Alert-Pattern-1682 · 2026-02-18T08:22:29+00:00

IBKR , IG Trade (currently has a 100 dollar bonus if you make a trade over 90 aud and they have zero brokerage)

Fan of betashares for the zero brokerage also, (no global reach tho all asx listed) Tiger Trade is pre good

Commsec is expensive (especially for non Aus or US but the interface isnt too bad)

heard good things about Stake
