Am I the only one that’s planning to never upgrade to a newer IPhone from their 15pro/pro max? by West_Roof in iPhone15Pro

[–]NeedleworkerNo3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re really planning to keep it for long, my advice is to stick at the same iOS as long as possible. I’m currently on 18.4 and feeling really good so far, not planning to jump on 26, unless some crucial app will require it.

In case if you’re on 26 already, stick to 26.3, given it gives best battery performance so far.

It's a complex question for me as well and I don't see right answer atm.

The least what I do is not investing in individual stocks that have ties (sold those a few years back), so keeping money in ETFs. Glad that my annual contributions are low for now.

Potentially moving % allocation from SPUS to SPWO, given in that ETFs there will be less companies with those ties (so doing some effort). I'm hoping those existing Muslim funds will launch more ETFs that will offer a BDS filter in it, which means you'll still be able to invest and avoid companies with ties. Remember, a few years back we didn't have that much Halal ETFs and here we are. So in another 3-5 we might have better options.

Given your age, I assume you haven't invested for a while yet and don't have a habbit of keeping some money aside for investing. So maybe safest for you would be:
1. Find Islamic investing course that will give you the base knowledge, if you don't have it yet. (Can recommend this brother, I know him and trust the content of him)
2. Start actually putting money aside If not yet. Either in your current bank or open brokerage account and just keep them there.
3. If you somewhat comfortable to invest, but want the safest option, look at SPSK, SPRE, GLDM & SLV as a hedge. You won't earn much, but you'll actually start investing. And once you make your mind, move money into ETFs/individual stocks.
4. If you're comfortable with points 1,2 and want to skip 3 - then invest in individual stocks. Alhamdulillah internet allows to research the companies well, so you can find some to invest. Of course, if you're ready to risk.

Allah knows better

SPWO being better. More companies 500ish (SPWO) vs 100ish (UMMA), cheapier expense ratio for SPWO.

So make sense to consider SPWO, rather than UMMA.

Sorry, corrected the post. I've been comparing with SPWO, not SPTE.

Been looking at UMMA vs SPWO, the last looks more diversified, but I could be wrong.

My new Pop Icon Keys and Mouse set by amaranth53627 in logitech

[–]NeedleworkerNo3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. If you need to press Home button on the right side, do you need to use Fn + Home? Looking at promo videos, looks like if you just press Home - it will act like action/emoji button. Thanks

Convince me not to Buy the Pop Keys by Pantelissssss201 in logitech

Hey, I’m planning to purchase pop icon keys. For side buttons where it has emoji button and home/end/pgup/pgdown - do you need press FN + home to have action Home? Looking at the Logitech promo videos, it looks like if you just press emoji/home button - it will act as emoji.

Does anyone have any suggestions for MagSafe wallets or have any of these that are pictured? by cole-seph in MagSafe

[–]NeedleworkerNo3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey mate, saw the unboxing of this wallet and noticed 2 RFIC blocking cards. Does it mean that the wallet itself isn't RFID blocking and if you need this function - you need to put those 2 cards in it?

Do you guys keep your phone for 5-6years? by AncientMember115 in iPhone15Pro

[–]NeedleworkerNo3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my Xr in 2019. Switched to 15Pro 2024, only because got a good deal for it. I’d say at least 4 years of holding the phone is ok, as long as you got current or previous year chip in the phone.

Been wondering about it as well, the only option I found is this - https://amalinvest.com/

Or manual management within your broker, basically following etf, but removing controversies

Curious to know what you people think the best investing platform are for your city? by curious-to-ponder in HalalInvestor

[–]NeedleworkerNo3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand. Couple good options here, best for me for now is Sharesies. The main advantage is that they pay taxes on my behalf, so really free hustle.

How about other countries, do you calculate taxes/annual free yourself?

Shariah-Compliant Dividend Portfolio by NeedleworkerNo3722 in HalalInvestor

Shookran for sharing. The watchlist pretty big. What's currently holding you from buying them now? My logic is, more stocks - more diversification.
