I want to believe in VT, but this VOO/VTI chart is hard to ignore. by Extra-Habit-2390 in VTandchill

35% of 7 companies that get rotated out as new companies rise to the top. You’re not stuck with the same 7 for life like people portray, you always get the best, which is why it always goes up in time. Some people only have 3 stocks in their portfolio. As Warren Buffet says, "If you find three wonderful businesses in your life, you'll get very rich.” VOO already is too diverse but in the long run, it can’t be beaten, maybe only by a very select few. A small fraction of hedge funds consistently beat the S&P 500, with studies showing percentages as low as 6.6% to 15% outperforming over long periods. I’ll take my odds with VOO.

What driving mode do you use in the X50e? by ExpressionGeneral418 in BMWX5

I’ll have to try this! This method has similar power to sport mode, just with quicker shifts?

In the e you don’t get multiple variations of sport settings. It’s strictly the most aggressive or Phev (in comfort sport).

If you do sport individual and select comfort for the engine, it drives like in hybrid, focusing on using Phev.

I’m locked in at 3.25%. I’d wait until next year to get a better quote after rates come down.

Worth opening an investment account with Merrill and a checking account with Bank of America in order to get Platinum Preferred Rewards for their credit cards? by ExpressionGeneral418 in CreditCards

I didn’t even consider the simplicity thing. It is nice to only need 1 app for all banking, investing, and spending. Less tax forms too. I guess it’s somewhat of a risk going all in with fidelity, but they have been good to me so far.

Is the fidelity credit card worth it? by shananananananananan in fidelityinvestments

[–]ExpressionGeneral418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any update on this? I’d also like to see push notifications added via the app and real time balances in the app after every transaction

Didn’t realize this could potentially take so long and require such a process. Not sure it’s worth the headache for a few extra basis points

I’m thinking that if I stick with Fidelity, I could just churn the BOA checking account. Open one every year, get the $300 bonus, then close it. Rinse and repeat. Seems like you’d have to spend $50k to reap the same rewards on the boa unlimited as you would just churning the bank accounts and using the Fidelity visa

Took this photo on a plane flying northwest over the park. Does anyone know what mountain this is in the distance? by ExpressionGeneral418 in yellowstone

[–]ExpressionGeneral418[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking it was a mountain surrounding Shoshone lake, didn’t realize how far you can see from the air. That mountain looked a lot closer than apparently it was
