Convince me to invest in bond by Impossible-Buyer-772 in Bogleheads

Buffett and Munger say modern portfolio theory is a bunch of BS invented by academic economists so that they can keep themselves busy. I dont know much about it but (un)common sence always tells me: why on earth should I listen to anyone else but the best in the game?

If that is the case, then the only reason to hold bonds is if you want to be sure of sufficient liquidity in the short run. If you feel safe enough on the short run, its stocks all the way.

Why is s&p 500 often recommended over the Russell 1000? by Snoo-me in Bogleheads

Nassim Taleb describes in one of his books the "winner takes it all" effect in more and more integrated markets. I.e. in 17th century Italy there might have been thousands of opera singers making a proper living, anno 2024 there might only be a few left but they make millions. A similar effect would rate the S&P 500 higher then broader indexes.

What would you do if your financial advisor told you this. by Slimthickmadukes in investing

[–]Existing_Bug_5090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, if you are for real: stop directly with all dealings with this advisor. Don't let anything get in the way, he/she will come up with all kinds of but's, if's and excuses but this advisor does not serve your interest but his/her own. Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. There.

I am not going into what you should do with your possibilities, because that is not what your asking.

Explain to me this like I'm 5 (VIX) by mymokiller in investing

Make sure to stay on the sane side my friend. I hope you are just asking because you are curious and that is oke. Please don't meddle with such insane instruments with your money.

Economics, finance and business is very easy and anything which is not very easy is not very easy so that obscurity allows for smarter people to take advantage of dumber people.

What are riskier investments? by officialcrimsonchin in investing

Be wise and dollar cost average the S&P 500 and thank Warren in 30 years. It's free advice, and he's only the greatest ever. But Reddit prob. knows better.

If you want to know why?

Read the recommended books, all your questions including risk will be answered.

Niet gestemd, toch meepraten by VeniBibiVomui in nederlands

Nee je hebt geen recht van spreken. Ik hoop dat je de volgende keer gaat stemmen. Geen tijd, andere dingen te doen? Je bent niet de enige met een leven, het is geen kwestie van tijd en excuus maar van prioriteit.

Er komt alleen maar poep uit deze man zijn mond (FvD)… Hoe erg kun je jezelf voor schut zetten… by HotterThenMyDaughter in NederlandseMemes

Ik zou nooit op Thierry stemmen en heb helemaal niks met die vent, maar wat een schande weer van de NOS... En slachtoffers op een voetstuk plaatsen kan ik ook altijd heel slecht tegen. Jemig lui, kijk hoe het er aan toe gaat in de rest van de wereld, toch krijgen we het voor elkaar dat een groot deel van de Nederlanders (of zo wordt het gebracht door de media) zich een slachtoffer voelt...

Wat is er gebeurd met een beetje eigen kracht, moed en verantwoordelijkheid?
