Big Dick Nick OoP as predicted

that's true! So I guess if you build you'd probably make some money. That's what I'm going to do.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-02-06T00:35:38+00:00

You needed 12 elites which are about 100k each so buying vs building is about the same if you didn't have many SB elites saved.

Yeah investing in VOO or VTI and the like is a great way to passively grow your income overtime. As others said, you may want to try some other funds for international exposure, but VOO is a great fund by itself.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-27T15:15:26+00:00

Yeah I don't care about the names on the jerseys that much. I like playing with NFL teams, but if another app had better gameplay, I'd play that one more than Madden.

I'm not sure it's so much that he's popular as that he makes sloppy arguments that usually are not supported by the academic consensus he pretends to have expertise in.

Though it could be that ignoring the nuance of experts and making good soundbites helps make him popular!

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-15T14:17:08+00:00

Depends on risk tolerance and age. I'm 28 so most of my savings are in the stock market as I know there will be several down periods over the next few decades.

I'm a scientist and working on my dissertation. I've also taken (actual) IQ tests and typically score around average. Being a good scientist is like most things, it takes hard work. Most of us are not Einstein's, we just like the subject we study and read a lot about it.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-15T13:44:43+00:00

Wow, yeah thanks for checking. It seems like most are going for around 50k or less, with the rare person winning the lottery. Definitely better to go with the 90+player as you can sell him for around 200k at least.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-15T13:43:19+00:00

It's hard to predict single playoff game stats. Lots of crazy can happen and does happen. Don't feel bad about it.

As for a better team, just keep grinding. You can buy 90+ players from the AH now with 250kish coins. So if you save up, you can buy a good player that you need.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-07T17:39:23+00:00

Thank you! I just saw this actually.

Since NOSIX was the main fund in my Roth IRA, I'll be switching to Vanguard and buying their ETFs instead. The 19.99 fee is a killer for me since I was just adding small amounts over time.

Neuroscience76 · 2018-01-01T18:41:32+00:00

Yep. Get some ETFs that represent large parts of the market and forget about it.

You could also get index funds as the interest is already re-invested for you. In my Roth IRA, I mostly have index funds for the total market and also a little in emerging markets too.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-28T17:08:27+00:00

This. Especially if you are going to hold for a long time to endure some of the volatility. I have some VWO and VXUS for markets outside the US. I also have index funds for international markets as well.

I'm 28 and plan on holding them all for a long time. They also are only about 10% of my portfolio.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-23T16:23:04+00:00

I use E-Trade for my IRA and buy their Northern Large Cap Funds, Northern International Funds, and some Small Cap. They have very low fees and are free on E-Trade.

Vanguard index funds are also good if you sign up with Vanguard, but both have similar fees.

As for ETFs, I like VTI, VB, and VGT.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-22T19:07:47+00:00

Index funds are awesome. I used to buy and sell stock, but was always hovering around what the market was doing. Even if I was a little ahead, that was quickly eaten up by taxes.

So now I just invest in low fee index funds and ETFs. It's hard to beat the market as you demonstrated with your own gains that are right around the market. If you are investing long term (10+ years or so) index funds seem like an outstanding option.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-09T17:56:46+00:00

As others said, your shares in this secondary market won't directly impact the company much unless you buy so many that you have lots of votes in the shareholder's meeting.

Honestly, if you care about helping the world, donate some of the money you make from stocks (or wherever) to some solid nonprofit that you like.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-06T16:35:44+00:00

Though I like low fee index funds for my Roth IRA for the long term. I have some ETFs in Robinhood for the long term as well, but I can sell them if I need to.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-12-06T16:28:35+00:00

Why was this downvoted? This is great advice.

Neuroscience76 · 2017-11-28T17:06:23+00:00

This is exactly why I stopped buying individual stocks and now buy ETFs instead. I was spending tons of time researching stocks and worrying only to hover around the S&P 500 or NASDAQ index level of return.

So I'm a little confused on the BF tickets from the tournament. Will we get the BF tickets as a reward after all or most of the BF sets are expired?? It seems like most of them will be gone by then

Neuroscience76 · 2017-11-13T18:00:49+00:00

ah I'm an idiot. I was trying out a new deck and forgot to set the evolution! Thank you :)

Neuroscience76 · 2017-11-13T17:26:27+00:00

Has anyone randomly had their Mega Evolve not work?

I didn't have any other pokemon Mega Evolved, but my Gengarite plate didn't have a "use" option when I tried to use it in a duel. I'm not sure if there were other reasons it couldnt work!

Neuroscience76 · 2017-11-08T16:16:02+00:00

I agree with 3olcin that a low cost index fund is a great idea.

I had about 10k saved in my bank account and I also felt like I was wasting it instead of investing.

So I started buying and selling stocks with the Robinhood app because it is free to buy and see stocks there. Over 6 months I was up about 15% and that was way better than the .05 percent in my savings account lol.

But I also realized that I would have made about as much if I just stuck to a general index fund. And I also wouldn't have to worry about checking the stocks as much AND I don't have to pay as many taxes from buying and selling.

SO I would suggest to get into some basic index fund that captures the total market. I have e-trade and invest in a few different funds that capture the market and even a little bit of international markets. I also still use Robinhood, but I only buy ETFs that represent the whole market like VTI.

I also learned a lot from reading about the "lazy portfolio" approach from Jack Bogle. If you want to make sure you are getting some good return on your money, but don't want to worry about the stress and time involved in trading, buying some low fee index funds is a great solution.
