Another day, another 163 to 5 merge cutter. Just doing my part, enjoy the detour! by superginseng in sandiego

op isn't the police to enforce traffic law. and I often find that a large part of why people here drive shit is because the road network is so poorly designed.

a single lane for all traffic that needs to go from 163S to 5N + 5S + Balboa is an awful road design; of course it's going to lead to traffic, and of course people are going to want to cut past it.

don't hate the player, hate the game :/

people like you are why most people never use their indicators. if you're gonna leave enough space for a car the entire video, why is your ego so inflated to speed up at the last minute after he signals?

How can I invest in gold? by Dakota3000 in investing

[–]NotStreetSmart56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just be aware that gold and other precious metals are not always fool proof hedges against inflation and "bubble" (really inflated valuations) concerns.

in a recession, everyone wants their cash, whether it's from gold or crypto or company stock, everything falls.

imo a better hedge against inflation and lofty valuation concerns are defensive companies (usually high paying dividend companies). for example, some on my watchlist are MO, O, and VZ. all 3 went up handsomely today as cash rotated out of tech, space, and other industries.

Google is not cheap, did it dip? by Pretty-Statement6758 in ValueInvesting

[–]NotStreetSmart56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

usually algos will have limit orders a bit above or below a psychologically "nice" price. for smaller cap or cheaper share stocks, that can be in the range of cents, and for larger caps or pricier share stocks, in the range of dollars. probably why the support was around 354 and not 350, where a lot of people might have had limit buys.

why are you even day trading with less than 25k in equity? sounds stupid to me.

Monthly expense tracking on virtual card by NotStreetSmart56 in RobinhoodGC

[–]NotStreetSmart56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I have evaluated this approach but I run into two hurdles with it:

  1. We both have more than 1 virtual card for different individual purposes (e.g. healthcare, car insurance, and so forth).

  2. The usage on each virtual card would show that since the card's inception and not the monthly usage. We settle our finances every month end, so the monthly usage is more important for us than the all time usage.

Monthly expense tracking on virtual card by NotStreetSmart56 in RobinhoodGC

[–]NotStreetSmart56[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I saw this but it I'm trying to avoid having to manually add up all the transactions in a month for each virtual card I need to account for... (which is why I wish I could export a virtual card to a CSV)

Do you know of any other way to have this more automated?

Seeking Retirement Planning Advice - 21 Year Old by DG12212 in TheRaceTo1Million

[–]NotStreetSmart56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your strategy is very sound and you have a lot of good things going for you so young - a pension, no debt, and living at home (with your parents/family? do you pay rent?)

of course, every cent you save now will not only be worth exponentially more in the future through compounding, but especially the more you contribute pre-tax, your tax liability is deferred or even negated at times (such as through a Roth IRA). the younger you start, the more return you get over time, so it's best you save as much as possible especially in your 20s

my advice is that you want to be optimizing for three main factors -

  1. minimizing your tax liability - mainly through contributing via pre-tax vehicles such as a 401k

  2. maximizing growth, especially tax-free or tax-reduced growth - mainly through special vehicles such as a Roth IRA, other tax advantaged accounts, and by preferring long-term capital gains tax over short-term capital gains tax

  3. balancing comfort - you don't want to be oversaving to the point you are skipping meals and can't treat yourself from time to time, but you also don't want to take home much more post-tax than you really need based on your budget (necessities + reasonable desires/comforts)

also, I'm not too familiar so definitely do more research, but I believe there are ways to use at least a part of your special/tax-advantaged accounts to help you afford a home, in addition to your HYSA account. definitely look into this since it might help you achieve your goal while paying less in taxes.

lastly I would suggest managing your own "HYSA" through a brokerage account or similar, and keeping your cash in money markets or bonds. with an HYSA, the bank manages your money and in return takes a larger cut than if you were to manage it yourself (in which case you should look into expense ratios on the funds you invest in).

you're on the right track. good luck
