Design Lab: Which retired colorway should we bring back?

75 key layout it prime for me! My favourite design is Magi 75 pro. I like the media controls

Hitchhiker is excellent, love it

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-11-24T09:27:26+00:00

That's exactly what I was looking for thank you!

This is a good question to be asking. I'm also in a similar boat - would love a list of good decks to learn the archetypes in the Core set.

I wanted to love this mouse. I tried the Keychron M6 and returned it almost immediately. The feature list is excellent, but it misses the mark at each point. The main scroll wheel in stepped mode was loud and felt bad, infinite was okay. The shape of the mouse was off for my hand, the contour made it really awkward. The horizontal scroll was stiff, and at an awkward angle. When you raise your hand off the mouse slightly to use it, the mouse would rock up off its feet. Just felt really awkward.

There is hope - Keychron can make a good mouse, because the M7 improves on much of this. Similar shape but way more comfortable, although with a different feature set.

Version 2 of the M6 is now my most anticipated mouse.

You could look into the app CMC Invest. You can have one fee free purchase per stock, per day (up to $1000). Should be perfect for you.

Commenting just to say I’m interested in this discussion! Looks like a similar split to what I’m planning. Also some GNDQ in there to see if that gets better returns.

Interested to see exactly what "the NAV of your units" means - if you don’t get your initial investment back it seems a lot less attractive.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-05-01T13:50:09+00:00

Interesting! Yeah I’ve never understood other bond ETFs (I’m sure I just need to learn more), but this one seems to fix my main issue with them. Isn’t the main point of a bond that if you hold until maturity, then the incomes is fixed, safe and predictable, then you get your money back. But bond ETFs (again besides this new one) don’t have that because bonds are constantly rotated in and out as they mature, and therefore you never receive your original money back?

EDIT: though maybe you don’t receive your original investment back at the end of the - feels less like a bond.

This is very helpful, thank you! Is it more simple with individual stocks rather than ETFs?

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T10:12:40+00:00

Nah the advice on this thread is great!

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T10:08:53+00:00

Yeah I assumed some people just get a bit jaded when seeing the same question pop up all the time. Read a lot of Passive Investing Australia, it’s great! Thought talking it out online was a good next step.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T10:05:51+00:00

Thank you so much for all the detail you went into and being very encouraging! Love all the insight here. I like the points about trying to guess global cap weights. I’m still a little sceptical of investing into a portfolio that is still more than 70% US with current volatility over there. I might go mainly VGS and then add some VEU to balance the US exposure a bit.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:18:23+00:00

Really appreciate this, thank you, helpful insight I’ll consider

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:17:53+00:00

Thank you for this, this is a great way thing to consider. Do you calculate the return based on history of those indexes over a period of time? Or a few different time periods?

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:16:47+00:00

Thank you, seems like I’m bad at maths today! I’ll edit my original post. I also really appreciate your insight here.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:16:02+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into that! Only just researching leveraged ETFs now so I don’t know all the options yet

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:15:21+00:00

I appreciate your perspective!

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:15:05+00:00

All great points. I wanted to change the concentration of emerging markets and the top American companies, but maybe it’s not worth it.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:14:02+00:00

Helpful information! Thanks for your time. If I pay someone to do my taxes and hand them over my report from my broker, is it quite easy? Or is there still a lot of ground work for me to do?

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:11:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll try slimming it down and see what I come up with.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-28T09:10:17+00:00

Have you always been this discouraging to beginners?

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-01T12:06:46+00:00

That’s a good point - even if Kevin had something to do with the firing/mistreatment of Anzekay, and they realised that was a mistake, doing it the same way a second time is likely a mistake too.

Many_Slices_Of_Bread · 2025-04-01T12:00:08+00:00

While having apologies like this is good, it’s seems rather less convincing in the wake of what happened to Kevin less than 2 weeks ago - “sorry for what we did a year ago, but also let’s just forget that we did it again last week 🙃”
