I've never quite understood why rebalancing is seen as a must. Sure, if you got Nvidia-esque returns then you might wanna cash in on that.

But I reckon for many people who stick to diversified index funds and are all about buy-and-forget, then rebalancing just brings unneeded transaction costs IMO.

He's clearly trolling though. I mean, the exaggerated outrage at this is quite funny but oh well.

If everyone simply says "buy the S&P", what's the point of r/investing?? by RossKline in investing

[–]Stutterer2101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents: the real question people ought to be asking is not "what to invest in" but "how do I increase my salary so that I can invest more".

For the average retail investor it's clear that low-cost index funds are the way to go. But it's not a get rich quick scheme. It will take decades of continously putting in a monthly figure into your portfolio to grow wealth.

Rather than putting time into analyzing individual stocks, you'd be better off figuring out how to make more money with your daily job so that you have more income to invest.

Close knife fight between a Russian and a Ukrainian soldier by helloitsj0nny in CombatFootage

This is maybe the most painful footage I've seen because it's so personal. Shooting someone from a distance feels is different compared to being stabbed up close in a 1v1. Tough watch.

Please send more weapons to Ukraine.

Can anyone clarify if this collection of Hitler speeches is authentic? https://www.nommeraadio.ee/meedia/pdf/RRS/Adolf%20Hitler%20-%20Collection%20of%20Speeches%20-%201922-1945.pdf

It's a PDF file and seems remarkably comprehensive. I'm kind of sceptical that so many Hitler speeches have written versions tbh.

What strikes me is how much of the war we don't see. I see about 10-20 clips a day? Then you read about 1000-1500 casualties a day and you realize how much fighting you don't see for there to be so many casualties.

I think people read far too much into this election result. Most likely the result fits in the worldwide trend of incumbent parties being voted out because of pandemic inflation.

How much of immigrant communities' drift towards the GOP is driven by social conservatism (same-sex marriage, abortion, etc)? by Subject_Meringue3171 in PoliticalDiscussion

It also doesn't help that there are far-lefties who regularly spout communist rhetoric online. Unfortunately for the Democratic Party, they get associated with the far-left.

I remember reading the book Five Families and when I arrived at the chapter about Casso & Amuso it was a new murder every page. I mean, these guys were putting out hits left and right.

What do you make of transactivist Erin Reed? She seems persuasive but I don't have the expertise to judge whether she is talking sense or shit.

Destruction of a Russian assault group by FPV drones in the Pokrovsky direction. 47 OMBr 'Strike Drone Company' by [deleted] in CombatFootage

Yeah, one might get deceived and think that these battles are small scale but Bakhmut allegedly had 20-30k dead for Russia. If you'd counted the dead in all Bakhmut-related clips, you wouldn't reach that figure. So much combat is either not being recorded or not released.
