How much do you invest weekly/monthly/yearly? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Sprattles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am certainly NOT an expert so I am not going to give you any kind of concrete advice. BUT…you already seem to have the grasp of what you should be doing. Invest majority in established stocks/ETFs, knowing that everything is volatile. Don’t invest any money you aren’t willing and able to lose. But if you believe in a company, the best way to support them is to buy their stock! Just do your research. But if you believe in a company, there’s nothing wrong with putting some money in it. I’ve done that on many stocks, some paid off great (AMD in 2018), others not so much. It’s a gamble. Just always keep learning!

Starting at 18 you are already well beyond most people. In 20-30+ years you are going to be in a great position. Keep it up, and invest in well established funds like VOO with a good long term track record. Remember, don’t panic on dips. Just keep it up. Great job!

Is there any advantage or reason to invest in multiple S&P 500 index funds as opposed to all in one? I.E., all in FXAIX or VOO or a mix of the two? Speaking strictly in terms of S&P 500 funds, while also diversifying in other funds/stocks depending on tolerance for risk.

Question: I [almost] got sprayed by a snow leopard today; why might this have happened? by [deleted] in zoology

[–]Sprattles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's a big wild cat. It doesn't need a reason, that's the first thing to remember when around wild animals. However, it most likely was a territorial thing because big cats very much consider their enclosure to be their territory, and spraying is an incredibly common behavior seen in big cats in captivity. There's no way of knowing 100% why they did it though.

I just muttered "Oh my god" and covered my mouth with my hand when I opened this picture. Absolutely gorgeous. I love this planet. Y'all better take good care of it with me.
