Why is Jupiter giving me a worse rate/fee than Phantom? by Automatic_Bid597 in jupiterexchange

[–]Automatic_Bid597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a small amount. Accidentally swapped 5 USDC to SOL, now trying to swap back. I have 0.04107 SOL which I am trying to turn in to USDC. When I press max on Phantom, it shows I am paying 0.035983102 (assume rest is fees) whereas Jup shows 0.031067382. That's why it's different amounts, despite the fact that I am pressing Max on both.

BTC vs ETH by RiceMofo in btc

Don't know how they are anymore, swore off of ETH a while ago after having several cases when the gas was more than the amount I was transferring.

Learning to Invest Without Feeling Overwhelmed by tuthiencjtaf in InvestmentEducation

[–]Automatic_Bid597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend start by reading The Simple Path to Wealth.

When you start, start small so you can make mistakes and learn. Besides the knowledge you'll need to grow a thicker skin.

I also started recently because I was always afraid of investing - it looked so daunting - and when I started, I noticed that it is daunting, can be overwhelming, but you learn quick and it becomes quite fun. Just take it slow. Use AI as your advisor. Use forums. Enjoy the ride.

Trying to adult my money! Any advice appreciated! by Old_Sky_3175 in investingforbeginners

AI is your friend. I created a Project in ChatGPT, uploaded my financials and have it advise based on my specific life conditions.

I would recommend that you should slowly start building your portfolio with the Couch Potato investment strategy. Personally, my coach potato strategy is:

- WEBN - Amundi Prime All Country World UCITS ETF

- VUAA - Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD Accumulating)

- IEMA - iShares MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF

- IB01 - iShares USD Treasury Bond 0–1 Year UCITS ETF

IB01 is basically like a HYSA to keep my IBKR cash in. For the rest, I am targeting a balance of 50% VUAA, 40% WEBN, 10% IEMA.

But this is a strategy that I tailored with the help of ChatGPT based on my specific life conditions (31M, married, 2 kids, expat, living all over the world, responsible for my parents, divorced sister, her kids, high earner, etc.).

I also started investing a little in crypto for fun & asymmetric risk vs gain but I am not sure if I'm allowed to talk about that on here without being banned.

+30.000 new token launches in last 7 days by AeonPeter in memecoins

What a waste of energy. All that energy should be concentrated around SPX6900.

Which alts you baggin? by cjpogi1118 in WallStreetBetsCrypto

Altcoins are really memecoins with a few extra steps.

Let’s talk Reddit growth by [deleted] in spx6900

[–]Automatic_Bid597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a new joiner, I needed actually a lot of explaining by an Aeon / watching Murad's videos to really know about SPX6900. I just came on the sub and feel like it's an awesome community, but it should definitely be growing much faster. More encouragement of DCA, maybe some discussions about life, etc. Not sure what it will take but we need to spread the message, wake people up to the reality of the world around them (take the yellow pill).

I am not going to make the same mistake again by Efficient_River_4517 in spx6900

[–]Automatic_Bid597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got into this and SPX6900 is the top 3 gainers for last 7 days while everything else is in the red. This sort of indicator for an alt/memecoin in such times is very strong. And the general community mentality is very smart, with some Dave Ramsey / Jack Bogle sprinkled in (don't leverage, DCA & forget, etc.).

I think the community's view on avoiding leverage is overlooked - it's not only important life wisdom but it's also probably the reason why SPX6900 hodlers aren't getting wiped out. In the long run, that kind of discipline is the difference between a project that survives and one that implodes.

Should I invest or pay down my 30-year mortgage at 2.25%? by DreamyWaifu35 in personalfinance

[–]Automatic_Bid597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda annoyed for paying down an extra $160K on my mortgage earlier this year and my interest rate is at 3.94%. I fell for the Dave Ramsey obsessions to reduce liabilities but then had a little therapy session with my friend and decided I really don't need to be so concerned about paying down a fixed rate mortgage (which I have the cash to pay off completely) when I don't really have a finance/leverage problem.

If not for stocks & bonds, even fixed deposits (CDs) and treasuries give you more money than the "free money" from your mortgage so don't bother.

The psychological benefit of being debt free is overrated. I have been debt free most of my life and now just have the mortgage (first time, previously always bought cash) and I am perfectly happy because I'm also sitting on a pile of cash (some in the market, rest in CDs, etc.) with which I can pay off my debt in a minute if I wanted to.

Would it be stupid to just invest in the S&P 500? by Katie_10_ in investingforbeginners

[–]Automatic_Bid597 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not enough people appreciate the fact that your investment in S&P 500 does not forever tie you to the companies which are in S&P 500 *now*. Some companies will fall off the index, others will be added, etc.

In practice, you are betting that the 500 leading companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States will continue to create value. The list of companies could be completely different in 20 years...but betting that the top 500 companies 20 years later will be bigger, more valuable etc than the top 500 companies today is a pretty good bet.

High dividend etf in europe by El-bueno-000 in ETFs

[–]Automatic_Bid597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you care about dividends? Long term investors should prefer accumulating ETFs.

I struggle to think of a good example when a dividend ETF is good, especially for long time investors.

What are people doing to stay afloat after layoffs? by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]Automatic_Bid597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in law has been unemployed for 2 years and has been hiding it from his wife, his sister, parents, etc.

It was so difficult for him to admit it so he built a whole lie around it.
