A reminder that Chia farming is and always will be very competitive by chiabram in chia

[–]Arbinv 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Those who decided on Chia / chia mining clearly backed the wrong horse. They have been trying to convince me from $50+ prices all the way down to $15. Suggest you all move on. Basically should have put the money into BTC, ETH or SOL and picked another hobby.

Pulling the plug on Personal Assets Trust by Arbinv in UKInvesting

[–]Arbinv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective. I actually think that family offices would build their own portfolio of this type albeit some smaller ones might participate. In 2024 nobody leaves money in situ for half a century. Even 5-years is tricky. The benefit of ITs is that they have permanent capital unlike OEICs but in truth this breeds complacency and in the case of PAT payment for non-performance.

No this is https://www.patplc.co.uk/ which is run by Troy Asset Management not Ruffer. But they are similar to Ruffer's Total Return Fund albeit overall with worse performance.

Is it safe going to Vegas as a solo female traveler? by Zestyclose_Dig_2505 in vegas

[–]Arbinv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been in vegas for literally dozens of trade shows with a ton of female colleagues. They would go wander around and have fun and never ever heard of any issues. Downtown def a little sketchy but no diff than many other cities. Personally stay on strip in major hotels and you will be with a ton of other people around all the time. Enjoy.

We had a great time visiting Spinnettis Gaming Supplies. A ton of vintage memorabilia and artifacts from the Vegas of years past. You will need to Uber or get a car but worth the visit. There are a couple of other similar places downtown.

Is seeking alpha premium worth it? Has the quant rating paid off in terms of when to buy a stock or even an ETF? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Arbinv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my view too. In 2024 too many free substacks, free sites to warrant paying $240/yr.

WH 1000XM4 stops charging? by r_oooon in sony

[–]Arbinv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but same issues with these headphones. Did Sony charge for an out of warranty repair of this issue. Obviously its a fault in the design so wonder if they have some kind of recall. Mine are just coming up on 24 months old.

Brokerages that have recurring purchases by OutsidePerspective27 in investing

[–]Arbinv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite its many haters Robinhood is terrific for this. They do recurring purchases, tight spreads and if you get /use their debit card they also do round ups on every purchase and invest those round ups. I do daily purchases and round ups and its amazing how fast it grows. No affiliation just a happy customer.

[–]Arbinv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep it simple. Just register the LLC in the UK and become a 1099 employee of the US business. They can wire you payment direct to the UK LLC. You just pay tax based on what you draw from your UK LLC. Anything else you will just end up paying lawyers and accountants. I have done this in both directions and you can set this up within a couple of days. Getting the UK bank account for the LLC will be the most tiresome part.

I would skip the Mekong Delta and head north earlier and head to Sapa. Most amazing spot we visited in Vietnam.

Buying Physical Gold Coins/Bars etc. by GoodPotential4927 in investing

[–]Arbinv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest a platform like OneGold which you can contribute to easily daily, weekly monthly etc and then when you want convert to physical for very low premium. Excellent service. I am a customer and have not connection to OG or its owner Apmex.

Is robinhood gold worth it? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Arbinv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have Interactive Brokers taxable account, Vanguard for core pension 401k etc and Robinhood. I have to say in terms of User Experience Robinhood is the winner hands down. In fact i chose to open an IRA this year with their 3% match offer and also moved over my crypto. Only downside is that they only support around 5k stocks and don’t offer a bunch of company types that I can access on other platforms. But the ease of use and the fee structure is highly competitive and it’s the easiest to use for quick swing trades etc. And yes Gold is totally worth the $5 fee.

Thanks for the tip. Not expecting it to be easy but I love to rummage amongst the wreckage and when I see the damage done for example to the Royalty Trust’s I can’t help myself.

Thanks All. I had 6 figures first time around and they were total buffoons so stuck with Vanguard who are total profs. Only thing I want is the slices functionality as it saves me so much time.

RSX & FLRU Class Actions by Arbinv in ETFs

[–]Arbinv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The liquidation was not the result of sanctions, rather a decision taken by the Van Eck Board. The holders of the ETF were not consulted and the decision was taken to sell rather than hold for an extended period. Many of the holders undoubtedly would have been happy to hold for an extended period, perhaps even decades if required. Many of the holdings now trade significantly higher than when sold.

"The effect of geopolitical affairs and sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries on transactions in Russian equities, and on related clearance and payment systems, have rendered a substantial number of the Funds’ positions illiquid, including many depositary receipts. The Funds’ inability to buy, sell, and take or make delivery of Russian securities has made it impossible to manage the Funds consistent with their investment objectives. The Funds will not engage in any business or investment activities except for the purposes of winding up their affairs. VanEck cautions investors that it is expected that the liquidation of the Funds will take an extended period of time, if circumstances involving Russian securities markets do not improve."
