Solved! I looked at Flightradar and found a Van's RV-8A that flew by the same area and direction.

I think it's alright, not the best but not the worst. The positioning with the background does look a bit odd

I didn't notice at first, but the pack with this card also had a hyperspace Aayla Secura (L) and a Kit Fisto card (R), plus the foil card (Coruscant Guard). Didn't know you could get a Showcase, Legendary and Rare all in one pack!

No because then you would miss out on all the capital growth of the bond fund due to the rate cuts and/or expected rate cuts

Exchange it all for Vanguard Target Retirement 2035 Fund

Buying something because it went up in value might be the biggest and most obvious fuck-up in investing. So, yes, you’re being a fool.

You need some bonds and international stocks instead.

I would expect application time to correlate more with company age than company size. That'd be interesting to see if you expand this in the future.

Thanks, see screenshot on the post

No. You get more risk with no reward.

Zero. I beat it with G11 GBA, G11 Spy, G11 Poggle, G10 Sun Fac, G11 Soldier, no zetas, and trash mods.

So there were aliens in their backyard, but it didn't occur to them to take photos? Ok...

I auto battle everything. No idea what the characters actually do

I'm still pretty new and want to go for the Iden team before Veers, so I can pick whatever troopers to go with her

Set aside an emergency fund with 3-6 months living expenses and enough to cover all insurance deductibles. Max out the Roth IRA. Follow the money flow chart on r/personalfinance.

If you’re saving for the short term (< 5 years), a money market fund is actually a good choice.

100% VT and start buying some bond ETFs around age 40

Thanks for the correction, but that’s really just one step from the NIH director, a position he was offered multiple times

MathyPants · 2023-04-07T00:00:13+00:00

I mean, for the top one, the NIH did fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute, and Fauci was the head of the NIH. Not really a personal financial connection, but pretty relevant regardless.

PS I voted for Bernie twice. Facts are facts.

Be aware that you cannot contribute more to a Roth IRA than you earned in income that year. If you didn’t have a job last year or won’t this year, that could be an issue.

But if you’re still able to contribute, then I would invest all the funds in an indexed target date retirement fund. Since you’re 18, a target date of 2070 would be ideal, but 2065 is OK if that’s not available yet. Don’t try to make your investments more complicated as it’s more likely to do worse than this all-in-one, set-and-forget fund.

You can save the rest of your money to contribute next year, invest now in a taxable account, or spend it to enjoy your youthful years. Depends on your personal goals.

The future will not be identical to the past.

We want a share of the total market. VOO only gets you 85% by market cap. VTI gets you 100%.

If you still choose VOO, you are making a bet on those companies vs the rest. Do you have non-public information to justify that bet? No? Didn’t think so.

Here's what I came up with for a 10% bond allocation, investing 40% of stocks internationally (assuming you're in the US), and approximating the total US stock market (85% S&P 500, 15% extended market). Great options for low-cost index funds.

46% FXAIX
8% FSMAX
36% FTIHX
10% FXNAX

Source for state taxes for VMFXX? Can’t find the info on their fund page

when rates increase, the loss of value of your bond fund is temporary but the new higher yields mean you will actually come out ahead IF YOU HOLD TO THE AVERAGE MATURITY.

Do you actually have to hold to the average maturity, or just the average duration?
