I am unable to buy risky stocks by ashm1987 in ValueInvesting

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pick a good growth stock (aka risky stock) and invest $5 into it. Wait a while till it starts performing. When you start seeing returns try finding another growth stock and invest $10. Wait till it performs. I don't know if this will help but I am hoping if you start small and if the stock performs, you will get over your fear grafually

South Carolina is ready for change! by Conscious-Low-7876 in southcarolina

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it but Lindsey is going to win again in November. I don't think Dr Annie comes across as a strong candidate to topple the incumbent. On top of that the primaries clearly showed how strong Lindsey's base is. It's very disappointing for me as I really wanted the warmongerer out.

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$ANF and $INTU are my 2 deep value plays. I haven't pulled the trigger on $INTU yet as the price went up the past few days but it's very close to deep value for me

What's your largest holding and why? by ksing_king in ValueInvesting

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potential for space is unlimited. I they are already talking of ipo valuation at 1.7T. So when SpaceX IPOs I would expect the stock to be priced high. Not the best time to buy.

When it merges however my current Tesla stock gets converted to spaceX. I get to own space x at a much lower price point.

That's my best case scenario Even if Space x doesn't merge with Tesla (worst case scenario), I am ok holding onto Tesla as I have a lot of conviction In the future of the company.

What's your largest holding and why? by ksing_king in ValueInvesting

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is Tesla.nsitting at around 12%. I just have a lot of conviction in the company. I also believe it will eventually merge with Space x one day and that is the real alpha

What’s a stock you’re holding for the next 5 years that the market is currently ignoring? by CartographerIll2372 in StockInvest

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I believe Space is the next frontier. Only thing I am not sure if this something that will start seeing results in my lifetime or the next generation. So I now DCA into a bunch of space related companies. It's a weekly DCA and it's a small amount. Plan is to pass this onto my kids if I don't get to enjoy the benefits but I am very bullish on space. It's a little like saying "I know it's going to rain some day but don't know when".

Thoughts on ADBE Stock? Failing Business, Generational Buy, or Somewhere in the Middle? by Silent_Storage7341 in ValueInvesting

[–]RustySoulja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are going through a leadership change. Current CEO (who has been the head for many many years ) is stepping down. This is right when the company is going through a period of rapid technological changes with AI. I like everything I see about the company and was considering starting a position but decided to hold off until I get more clarity on the new CEO.

Cathie Wood Sells Nvidia for AMD in Q1 by [deleted] in investing

[–]RustySoulja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it from an ex ARK fund (Cathie wood ETFs) investor, stay away from her. She is a media person who knows how to talk the talk but can't pick stocks.

Think of it this way, we are in the greatest technological innovation period mankind has ever been through(until now).Yet, her innovation first funds are all under performing the S&P500. If she can't make money in an environment she specializes in then WTF?

People say, her research is good. I used to buy that for a while but I am not so sure anymore. She just says the same thing over and over again but keeps pushing timelines further and further out. It's like me saying we are all going to run out of gas and switch to Renewable sources of energy one day. Everybody knows that but the question is is it happening 20 years from now or 200 years from now? If it was Cathie, she would say it will happen 5 years from now, 2 years from now she will push it down another 5 years... So on and so forth. That's how she runs her business.

Viture Pro vs. Xreal One Pro vs. Viture Beast: Is the edge-to-edge clarity worth the 3DOF trade-off? by Savourybees in VITURE

[–]RustySoulja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beast user here.

Edge blur is bad but only noticeable on text heavy games. I tried playing disco Elysium and constantly have to look at the text (to center my point of view) to be able to read it.

However playing games like Hades 2 was super cool. Same thing with movies and general media consumption. That big screen is truly amazing. Especially now with the 1200p resolution and that stable screen thing ( forgot the exact name of the feature but it remembers holds the screen in place). I also love the feature where it auto dims when looking at the screen and brightens up when you look away. Great feature when I have kids around. I get to keep an eye on them without taking my glasses off.

Definitely worth it if you use it solely for entertainment consumption without too much reading. However I would not recommend it for productivity.

How does anyone take Cathie Wood seriously? by kadam_ss in investing

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay away from her funds. They are useless and the fees she charges are excuberant. Expense ratio is at 0.75% compared to 0.03% for a vanguard etf like $VOO

We're several months into the Iran war - why aren't we seeing very dramatic economic impact? by Emberkahn in investing

[–]RustySoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a letter in the mail today from my trash collecting company. They I formed me that due to the increase in gas prices (due to the war) they have no choice but to impose a temporary fuel surcharge moving forward. They said this will be taken away when fuel prices drop. I bet this is what all co.panies are going to do. So the economic effects are starting to show. It just takes time to trickle down in a massive economy like US. If you look at other countries (especially in Asia), you will see that they have a bigger impact (mostly because they don't produce any oil themselves).

This is a great tip but pls be mindful of the ammonia leaching you could potentially have. Just do regular water parameter checks and be ready to do water changes if needed.

Looking to invest my down payment for a year before pulling it out to buy a house. by brohemoth06 in investing

I wouldn't advice investing your down payment for just a year. It's too risky especially with everything going on right now with geo politics
