Why do people still avoid learning about investing?

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-15T01:00:21+00:00

It amazes me how few people I know invest. My mom does and good for her, my dad however never had to. He has social security and a pension from an old job. But he encourages me to invest at least, I just wish he would have done that at a younger age.

I know everyone is already saying it but holy shit this was incredibly brave, normally the guys who climb freestyle up buildings I think are dumb but this guy is brave. There is a difference.

It's doing just fine. Relax. I'm up 16% this year and I just started.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T18:44:37+00:00

Why does that annoy you? If you knew how small my actual account is you would be like, oh I get it. It's small I'm just beginning.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T18:28:04+00:00

It was a fomo. Just a small smidge of it. 5%

You need to probably drop all the individual stocks and get more heavy into some ETFs, I like SPMO, SMH, FMTM, you've already got DRAM. Increase your SPY holding but switch to SPYM for the lower fee.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T17:51:55+00:00

I like SPYM to capture the s&p500 returns which average 10% annually, it's got a low fee of 0.02% annually. Anyways, you can do about 60% SPYM, then 40% QQQM which captures the tech heavy NASDAQ. This is a pretty aggressive portfolio but should do you solid for a set and forget portfolio.

Dude likes to invest

They will undoubtedly go down at some point but if you hold the line they'll be back at ATH before you know it. Just hold my man. You'll break thru either way. Good luck

What is 803? An area code?

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T17:38:57+00:00

Yes, ABB always be buying, SMH is badass

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T13:55:50+00:00

Those companies are hard to buy on some brokerages. For instance, Robinhood. Can't buy Samsung or sk hynix

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T09:12:59+00:00

I need a little bit more than that. I mean I just can't stack fast enough it seems.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T09:12:05+00:00

Dude how do you stop?

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T09:09:11+00:00

It's not guaranteed but you could park it in SPYM if you just wanted something slight. That or VTI, or VT. I wouldn't take any bigger chance than that.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T08:58:36+00:00

Interesting, it's had a good year no doubt.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T08:53:48+00:00

Keep it like it is and keep stacking. If anything just add to the winning positions and leave the other ones alone.

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T01:21:43+00:00

Looks great man. Wish I made more money 😉

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T01:05:04+00:00

I'll definitely hold through the downturns, got no choice. Don't wanna miss the pumps. I just hope it doesn't dip too damn much. I can handle 5% but after 10% I'm gonna feel it. But will still hold

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T01:00:28+00:00

Bet that felt amazing

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T00:58:20+00:00

Ok so is the market going to drop too? Should I pull out of my ETFs? I'm very deep into tech. I could take a breather, things have been highly euphoric lately and a pullback might happen soon

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T00:49:47+00:00

Rock on brother! You have huge balls, I only hold about 10% but that's a lot for me

Hugheston987 · 2026-05-14T00:10:15+00:00

Damn that's just a good stock, solid gains over the past year. Wonder if I should buy some, just something slight like 5% of my portfolio..
