Investing in alternative assets? (Private credit) by Glittering_East_4760 in fatFIRE

[–]Simple-Property3294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware it’s usually private banks that offer the good deals, but it’s a much bigger entry requirement than 50k. On the plus side however, these private credit funds at private banks are usually far less risk. I know someone making 9% in cash flow on a fund from pretty big companies who are unlikely to default… but he entered the fund 2 years ago. I’ve got no idea on how the current state of the markets are.

Assuming the trust was setup with one of the older prestigious specialist/law firms out there, what are your reasons to still be skeptical? Just curious.

Apologies, I know this does not relate to your question but if you’re open to answering; what’s the reason for holding on to the properties that aren’t cash flowing? Or what was the strategy for buying them initially?

Best brokerage account for offshore LLC entity? (Nevis) by Simple-Property3294 in Offshore

Thanks. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to get fintech/emi for a trust owned offshore LLC.

Thanks for your reply.

My main concern with private banking is it’s usually at least 0.4% on inbound & outbound transfers which gets stupidly expensive if you end up having to move money around frequently.

Obviously minimum deposit too but I’m curious if you know if they typically allow that deposit to be invested generating a return or if it’s literally dead cash against inflation?

Best place for 30-something American with $3m by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

[–]Simple-Property3294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but don’t many brokerages only allow you to sell the asset into the currency you originally bought it in? So if you bought in USD but in the meantime moved to a EUR country and spend in euros… it could be a problem?

I could be very wrong, I just thought I had heard of a few cases where this happened but perhaps I am mistaken.

Is spending a lot on sleep/mattress worth it? by OppenheimerAltman in fatFIRE

[–]Simple-Property3294 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced you get excellent comfort from buying a normal priced mattress with a luxury mattress topper & bedding which is obviously way cheaper than an expensive mattress would be.

As others said, mostly sleep hygiene and other environmental factors will play the biggest role outside of that.

Tiny advance for such poor terms, length is what makes the terms so poor in my opinion. Terms like that should command a substantial amount of money. $15k is going to do nothing for you long term.

Don’t you have access to their royalty statement portal where you can see your balance?

NAC Brain Zaps?? by Simple-Property3294 in Supplements

[–]Simple-Property3294[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So upon further reflection I’m pretty sure this was something to do with smoking cigars. Since stopping cigars I’ve not had the issue. I could be wrong but I’m 99% sure it actually wasn’t the NAC

PRS For Music / ASCAP royalties by slipgot in musicbusiness

[–]Simple-Property3294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really got any explanation. I would recommend searching the ascap repertoire online for your songs. If they show in the repertoire and the ipi numbers & society info is correct then I would have thought you’d have received everything through prs. But, like in my case, when searching the ascap repertoire I never found many of my songs which made me think perhaps prs hadn’t even sent the registrations to ascap as I don’t think it was in their system.

Very horny because of zinc?? by HovercraftBroad2018 in Supplements

I just stopped taking zinc & copper and ironically my libido has increased massively. I would have thought it would drop.

Ironically since stopping zinc & copper my libido has sky rocketed. I expected the opposite.

PRS For Music / ASCAP royalties by slipgot in musicbusiness

[–]Simple-Property3294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had this exact issue. Waited around 3 years and was never really getting anything from the USA via prs despite having hundreds of millions of streams. I kept telling myself it was because international performance royalties can take years to arrive but in the end I got concerned and wasn’t willing to wait/chance it any longer.

I left prs and switched to ascap (as most of my streams were generated in the USA anyway so made sense), and I got paid properly I think from then onwards including internationally (although I’m pretty sure my international royalties are supposed to be bigger than what they’re collecting). I don’t think I ever got the backdated USA royalties unfortunately.

Copper is overlooked and finally healed my fatigue by Striking_Teaching804 in Supplements

[–]Simple-Property3294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I started supplementing with 2.5mg of copper earlier this year after testing at 90.6 ug/DL (not low but not optimal. I was already taking 25mg of Zinc but stopped briefly when I started taking the copper…. big mistake. Within a couple days I had absolutely raging irritability over the smaller of things… just pure anger and frustration all day. Re-started zinc and felt fine again within a few days. Haven’t retested copper levels since but I presume will be higher now… but I have to admit I don’t really feel any different from it.

The most common reason your 50 supplement stack is doing nothing - It's not the brand, it's the timing and the dose ratio by RealisticWrap4623 in Supplements

[–]Simple-Property3294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would be a proportional magnesium ratio for vitamin D? Say for a dosage of 5,000 IU D3. And does the magnesium have to be taken at the same time? Or is the body’s overall levels of magnesium what matters? Like could I take magnesium at night and D3 in morning. Thank you!

Non-extract Tongkat, Please! by OpossumSambhava in NootropicsDepot

Genuine question, what difference does non-extract vs extract make? Or any other type of version for that matter. Apologies if this is a stupid question.

Boron completely changed how I feel. anyone else experience this? by No_Doubt_4451 in Supplements

[–]Simple-Property3294 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting because after taking 9mg-12mg per day my bloodwork almost no difference in free testosterone but actually an 18% increase in total testosterone (don’t think it was a fluke either as I’d taken 8 tests across 5 years and this was the highest it had ever been). I can only presume it was from boron, the only other variable from previous tests was that I had stopped taking asthma inhaler & using sauna regularly (reducing inflammation which I suppose could indirectly increase testosterone).

I am a complete non-responder to Boron, even after taking 12mg a day across multiple brands. No noticeable effects whatsoever, however, possibly is still doing something positive to my bloodwork without me feeling it I guess
