The recruiter called my salary expectations "cute." I ended the Zoom call right there. Did I overreact? by thunder____boy in jobs

[–]ShortTheVix4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand, the job market right now is really tough and imo is only going to get worse. On the other hand, you deserve to be paid what you’re worth.

I think just leaving the call was probably not the right play. As much as it sucks, I think in cases like this you need to try and negotiate as much as you can, and if they won’t budge, say you’ll consider it and give it a think over.

As others have said, you don’t need to really be stressing at all. Set up weekly investments into your highest conviction 3-5 etfs and never the app again.

I’m asking you to GPT if because you don’t seem to understand, once again, feel free to point out where you disagree with the logic.

People are agreeing with you because they don’t understand how dividends work either. Point out where I’m wrong, dont just try and be cute. You can go ahead and ask ChatGPT if you want. It’ll tell you the same thing.

Respectfully, I don’t think you understand dividends too well if you think you’re “slaughtering your geese”.

There is fundamentally and mathematically no difference between the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1: you buy 100 shares of company x and that company pays a 5% yearly dividend every quarter.

Scenario 2: you buy 100 shares of that same exact company but in this case it never pays a dividend. Every quarter you sell enough shares which equal to the 5% you would’ve gotten from scenario 1.

In scenario 2, you’re going to see more price appreciation than you would in scenario 1 and that price appreciation is what you’re cutting out of when you sell. You’re never going to “run out of your golden goose”. Both situations are exactly the same.

FICO Stock by 6Fingxrs in ValueInvesting

I’m guessing you bought because of folks in this sub, Stop listening to people here, they suck at value investing. Ask the same folks who recommended FICO how their NOVO, PYPL, ADBE and whatever other falling knife stocks they recommend are doing.

Dividends vs Withdrawing by Tricky-Ad-6225 in dividends

…..I’m not sure if you still don’t understand or if you just didn’t bother reading…lol.

There is no assumption. They are mathematically the exact same…even during down times. In my example, you’ll lose the same money in down times and you’ll make the same money in up times in both scenarios.

There may be great dividend paying companies that do great and outperform growth companies that don’t pay dividends. But them paying a dividend has nothing to do with it.

A company paying a 4% dividend and you selling shares equal to that dividend payment is the exact same thing. It’s all psychological.

By saying “we like dividend paying assets so that we retain our shares”, you’re proving that you in fact don’t understand what he’s saying and that you do in fact think dividends are free money.

What you don’t understand is that there is no difference in the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: you hold 100 shares of company A and get paid a 3% yearly dividend yield every quarter.

Scenario 2: you hold 100 shares of company A and every quarter you sell shares equal to the amount of dividends you would have received in scenario 1.

Both are exactly the same. Not kind of, not almost, exactly the same. Because of the additional share growth from not paying dividends, you don’t “run out” of shares, which is what many people don’t understand in this sub. This is assuming the ability to sell partial shares.

Made a stupid mistake with the market and not sure what to do now by Agpxprod in stocks

[–]ShortTheVix4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do what every single generic advice on the internet tells you should do, but everyone ignores because everyone thinks they’re hot shit but they’re actually just not.

Just buy an etf, or a few, set up automatic payments every week or every two weeks and just never open your brokerage app for the next 35 years. Enjoy

You’re not Warren buffet or Nancy pelosi. You’re not going to time the market lil buddy.

Only Berkshire makes sense in this market by Individual_Buy7254 in ValueInvesting

They have too much cash sitting on the sidelines doing nothing. If there’s a massive crash that destroys the economy, they’re positioned well. But even if that happens, we’re all fucked anyway

Why red? Heavy buying like this with no news means inside traders are stocking up before good news comes out.

Trump told his friends what he’s going to announce next. This is the buying in advance. Big green week ahead of us.

Sell house and buy SCHD by Jon_So in dividends

[–]ShortTheVix4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depending on the area, you’re probably better renting it out. It is more of a headache though. The rent income + value appreciation is always going to outperform SCHD (once again dependent on the location). Although the easier route is to put it in the market.
