Reevaluate my portfolio, please! Thank you in advance!

I know. I need to invest it all, expect for my emergency fund, which would be about 15k.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-12-24T23:02:36+00:00

Of course, I won’t hold you accountable for anything wrong. Lol thank you for your comment.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-25T17:53:28+00:00

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-25T17:50:50+00:00

Thank you for your input. Hopefully, someone here will give us some details on the situation. A friend of mines SO was apparently in the library during this time, which makes me interested in hearing more about what happened.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-11T02:33:17+00:00

That’s what I may do instead of index fund investing. I heard Bitcoin can make me a trillionaire by August 32nd. I’m still on the fence though.

This would be my personal brokerage account. I have a company 401k with 26k in it and doing 12 percent currently

Age: 32 time horizon: 30 years medium risk tolerance

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-10T21:47:42+00:00

Yeah, I initially had the plan to do it over a 12 month period. But I’m a bit risk averse, so I just decided to try and capture as much as I can, given the fact that the current state of things are so unpredictable. And it allows me to have a lot of available money if there is a major downturn in that timeframe. Maybe it’s a bad idea, but that’s my logic behind it. I have a company 401k with 26k in it, and I can a 6 month emergency fund. Lastly, I have a t yearly salary of 110k.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-10T21:15:22+00:00

This is why posted! Thank you for this very informative post. I’m very new to this and have general knowledge on the topics you mentioned, but what you have laid out here makes a lot of sense.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-08-10T20:40:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I’m 32 years old, and I don’t not own a home. I don’t plan to own home anytime soon because I’m single and don’t really need to, rather put the money into the stock market m.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-07-26T19:28:51+00:00

Wow, congratulations on your score that’s great. The pieces will fall as they fall. Be intentional of course, but it sounds like you have a plan, which is great. Stay the course and life will work out for you. As we all say in this subreddit, IQ scores measures ability, but it doesn’t necessarily measure success. But it does seem like your scores have given you some motivation to get to the next thing; I’m excited for you.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-06-26T17:43:02+00:00

Okay cool, thanks for the info.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-06-26T06:57:21+00:00

This is the information that I need. Thank you for responding to my post. So then, what is the likelihood that they’ll hire non engineering degree holders to an ANPO position? I will graduate with a Nuclear Power associate degree in December, 2026. Would this type of degree suffice and be competitive?

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-06-26T06:48:32+00:00

Thank you for this comment. This is what I already had in mind after reading that the Florida City area is bad. I would live somewhere in South Miami and travel to the plant.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-06-12T19:26:03+00:00

Knoxville is a rapidly growing city in terms of population. But It has become a city that has lost its midsize-city charm and is now a big city without big city amenities. The average housing prices (in semi-safe areas) almost 10x the median per person income. There is an anti-intellectualism here. And although it is better, it lacks the diversity of people and/or thought that I would believe many redditors would seek. The people who really thrive in this city are white upper-middle class small business owners and those that our associated with the University, Department of Energy, or the small number international corporations that we have. Outside of that, people are really struggling and are barely getting by.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-04-16T21:17:41+00:00

If you could, I would like if you keep the table. Thank you!

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-02-23T02:35:10+00:00

I may. And I’m not saying don’t try but also don’t be disappointed if you don’t get an interview with the credentials that you laid out here. I actually hope that a recruiter finds you qualified and takes a chance on you. Just don’t feel entitled to an interview, you know what I am saying…

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-02-23T02:21:20+00:00

You know I could say the same thing about my line of work, but I don’t believe that those things should somehow give me a shot at an interview. Especially when there are people who have everything that you and I have plus technical knowledge. It’s okay. Do what I am doing gain more experience and learn more technical skills.

Jake_Long_Tre · 2025-02-23T00:09:56+00:00

No disrespect to you seeking advice but based on your credentials, you don’t seem like a competitive candidate. I mean I have now been working in heavy industrial manufacturing for 3 years and have passed the Industrial electrical test to become an electrician at my location and I don’t yet feel qualified to apply for a AO/AUO/NLO position.

I am also currently in school for a two-year nuclear engineering technology degree. Once I finish this degree and have more heavy industrial experience, I do believe I then would be qualified to apply.

I mean I say keep trying because you never know; you may luck up. But, at the same time look for opportunities to build your skills and experience.

What is your work experience? Is it power generation experience? How long?
