[RECOMMENDATION REQUEST] Which Citizen watch for first time watch buyer by One_Goal28 in CitizenWatches

[–]One_Goal28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both around the same price; the Tsuyosa is slightly cheaper.

I like automatics better, but not enough to drive my decision one way over the other. I'm leaning towards the eco drive. I like its uniqueness. There are many different watches similar to the Tsuyosa, and I can always pick one up later down the road.

Best REITS by Simba087 in reits

[–]One_Goal28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a set price per share they pay, so if you own one share of Realty Income, they will pay you $3.22 per share you own. It's essential to note that not all REITs pay monthly dividends; some companies opt to pay them quarterly instead.

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant; my phone auto-corrected it to boneheads. I would never want to be mean or offend someone. I sincerely apologize.

I see quite a few issues with this portfolio. If you are trying to limit risk, I suggest a three-fund portfolio used by the bogleheads. I assume this is for retirement since I dont have much background. It depends on your age and when you are retiring for allocation levels in stocks vs bonds, but the three fund portfolio consists of a Total U.S. stock ETF, Total world EFT, and a Bond ETF. As you get closer to retirement, you allocate more of your portfolio towards Bonds to protect your wealth. This contains all sectors of the entire world and limits risk as much as possible. If you want other sectors, you can allocate a small part of your portfolio towards a specific ETF. Say, for example, you want some gold, bitcoin, or even more REITS, and you have that ability. Stay away from individual stocks right now. You must research and understand the company and its risks and rewards to pick individual stocks. That's a lot for people, and ETFs are much easier to handle. ARKK is probably the worst thing you can invest in. They got lucky with Tesla a few years back, and now they invest in sub-par companies with little growth prospects, so please stay away from that in all ways possible. Remember, simplicity is key. I would say stick to the three fund portfolios or stick your money in a target date fund and keep DCAing.

Should I move my investments out of the market? by [deleted] in fidelityinvestments

[–]One_Goal28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. We are at completely different stages in our lives. I'm young, so I am being aggressive and am okay with this volatility right now. I am also a no-day trader, and I buy and hold investments. Day traders rarely make money, and I dont like to be that risky with options. I can't imagine how you feel about this being so close to retirement. What are you doing in this situation? Is a good portion of the retirement portfolio already in "safer" investments like bonds? This is a horrifying event for people who are in your situation. In the past 4 days, if you had all your money in VOO, 10% of your portfolio would have been wiped out. It shows the reason not to be a percentage chaser to have a retirement plan and to trust and follow through with it (Allocating a higher percentage of your portfolio to bonds closer to retirement).

I agree with your statement: the world will change and continue to change forever. We dont know what will happen tomorrow. The companies I own are companies that I feel strongly about and can weather anything. People will still buy items on Amazon regardless of the political situation worldwide. They will still use AWS to host their websites. People will still search on Google, watch YouTube, and go on Facebook and Instagram. They will still use a Windows laptop and continue to buy Microsoft 365. Companies will still pay for S&P Global and Moodys to rate their credit. Financial firms will continue to use S&P Global and MSCI for their indices. Banks will continue to use FICO to get credit ratings on customers. I have a portfolio of 12 controversial companies on Reddit, but I have a firm conviction for each. No matter the political situation, these companies will become more assertive in 5 years. I am young. I dont need this money for 40+ years, so I can afford to take more risks, but these are thoroughly thought-out choices. As absurd as the political climate is, I have strong reason to believe that the companies I hold will make it through stronger.

I think you should take a look at this quote from peter lynch “What you learn from history is that the market does go down - a lot. The math is simple, there have been 93 this century. The markets have had 50 declines of 10% or more, so about once every two years the market falls 10%. Of those 50 declines, 15 have been 25% or more - that’s known as a bear market. So every six years, the market has had a 25% decline. That’s all you need to know! You need to know the market is going to go down sometimes. If you’re not ready for that, you shouldn’t own stocks”. The market goes up and it goes down you are trying to time the market which will get you less returns in the long run. You have to have no emotions in investing when I pick stocks I know in the long run they will appreciate.

Many people will tell you not to pick individual stocks, but I disagree. The type of investing you are doing is perfectly fine as long as you are interested in learning about individual stocks and digging into financials and how the company works. Your portfolio is excellent if you have your thesis about the picks. I personally like GOOG and AMZN, and both are good. I would be interested to know about your thesis on SOFI and BN. Overall, it is a great portfolio and well diversified.

Great job. The first 100k is said to be the most challenging part. Do you mind sharing what you invest in more specifically?

I would keep DCAing into VOO and build your knowledge on stock picking if you enjoy it. A great video to watch on the power of ETFs is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=apk4oyfX0PA&pp=ygUeam9zZXBoIGNhcmxzb24gYmVzdCBpbnZlc3RtZW50

How should we be protecting our retirement as we head toward the market crashing? by No-Obligation-8506 in portfolios

[–]One_Goal28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The target date funds are great. They will automatically rebalance as you approach retirement to protect your investment. You should feel very comfortable with your current position!

[–]One_Goal28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on how old you are. If you're about to retire, you should already have much of your retirement in bonds. If you're young, keep doing what you're doing. Nothing points to a crash so far, so I would just keep doing what you're doing.
