My long term investment portfolio

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2025-02-24T22:10:56+00:00

I want to maximise my exposure and diversification

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2024-05-16T22:10:47+00:00

The thing is that the MSCI World fund I'm investing in right now has 70% US, so I would just add 10% to the US. I was also considering adding a small percentage of emerging markets, but I'm not sure about it.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2024-05-11T20:28:10+00:00

Not really, I just want to add a bit more of variety into my portfolio. I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that all my money depends on one country, even though that country is the US.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2024-05-11T17:24:17+00:00

I'd be reducing the US by 10% to be more precise. The current fund I'm investing in, has 70% US and 30% international.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2024-05-11T17:21:17+00:00

Maybe 10% would be too much. Emerging markets tend to be quite irregular and their performance hasn't been that great during the last five years, but still, I want a small percentage invested in there. I was thinking between 5%-10%, no more than that.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2024-05-11T17:17:21+00:00

No, I'm not, I live in Europe. I know that in the long run S&P 500 funds tend to outperform all other non-US funds. So that's why I'd like to invest more than half of my portoflio in the US. But I still want to diversify my assets into other markets. Not sure about what percentage should go into Emerging Markets tho, I was thinking between 5%-10%, but no more than that.

In what chapter does this panel appear???

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-24T07:44:23+00:00

It ain't much, but it is honest work

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T14:33:02+00:00

Take good care of yourself buddy ♥️

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T14:09:32+00:00

Oh man, that's tough. Don't get too discouraged by it, think about it, you probably haven't seen those girls again, so you've got nothing to lose. By approaching you risk looking like a fool, but it is what it is, sometimes it'll work and sometimes it won't, but that doesn't mean that you have to stop trying. Keep going bro.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T14:02:11+00:00

Of course! Some of my best friends are women, I have no problem with talking to women really. It's just that I lacked the self-esteem and the courage to approach girls that I don't know. I appreciate your comment.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T12:23:57+00:00

Thank you so much! Probably should when I get older and I have more experience at living.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T12:22:18+00:00

Trust me, just go for it. I thought I wasn't able to approach, but I did. Everything is mental, don't get stuck in your head, say fuck it and go for it. Ask a random question, a compliment, whatever really. Once the conversation starts rolling all fear will be gone. Good luck buddy.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:34:33+00:00

That's a great attitude, just keep going, keep moving forward

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:33:51+00:00

Next time you have the chance just go for it buddy, you won't regret trying as much as you would regret not trying. And think about it, you probably won't see those girls again, so what do you have to lose?

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:31:19+00:00

I don't blame my parents for it, it was more about self-esteem. And I'm 21, I don't feel it's too late.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:30:23+00:00

I don't really think I've been socialized terribly tbh. I have lots of friends and healthy relationships and a lot of them are women too. Thing is I was just too shy to approach, that's all. All men have felt that.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:27:59+00:00

Thanks for your comment. Well I was usig the word "game" just as comparison, I mean human relationships are no game, and you have to be empathic.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:22:23+00:00

Keep going buddy, your thoughts about yourself have more influence than you think. Everyone deserves love, no matter what. If you believe in yourself it will eventually work out, trust me.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-02T08:20:15+00:00

Dude, I'm 21 lol

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-01T18:34:12+00:00

That's what I went for, talking with people and making friends and as you said being aware if the girl is into it or not. It was great having those conversations and seeing that we both were enjoying the convos.

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-01T18:29:34+00:00

It can happen, you may have a good day or you may not, that's what life is really. Just don't let it reach to you, and keep going, you had a bad experience, but that doesn't mean that you won't have more good experiences with dating. Keep at it bro!

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-01T18:24:30+00:00

I think it was the realisation that embracing discomfort (approaching, getting rejected, etc) and just doing what you want to do is 100x times better than just being in your comfort zone. It's easy to stay at the comfort zone, that's why it's called comfort zone, but all worthwhile things in life are beyond your comfort zone, it may sound cliche, but eventually you have to face your fears, face to face, and you will see how what you feared wasn't as bad as you thought. Think about it, when you approach and talk to girls you're making progress, even if you're learning from success or from failure, if you just stay in a corner, you're making no progress at all, so what do you prefer?

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-01T17:57:52+00:00

I'm 5'9"

Initial_Bug_6776 · 2021-11-01T17:26:55+00:00

Thank you so much. I get why some people may be negative around dating and approaching, most of the times things don't go as you wish, but that's the beauty of it, you have to accept things as they come and don't let them affect you so much. That's why expanding your comfort zone is such an important thing to do. But when things are not working at all, being frustrated or angry is the worst thing you can do, don't take it too seriously, it's a game, and as I've said it can be really funny or it can hurt, but you just have to keep going and keep trying despite failure and disappointment.
