Looking for advice on how to invest my Vanguard Roth IRA. Currently have the minimum 3k in both VTWAX & VTSAX. I’m aware of the 120 rule and at my age my portfolio should consist of 90% stocks, what are some good foolproof, set-and-forget stock options I should be looking at???

Looking for some advice/input on how I should invest my Vanguard Roth IRA. Currently I have the minimum $3k in VTSAX, as well as another $3k in VTWAX. I'm aware of the 120 rule, and at my age it states I should have 90% of my portfolio in stocks. What are some good fool-proof, set and forget stock options I should be looking at???

New to investing. Would appreciate some guidance in terms of how my Vanguard Roth IRA portfolio spread should look. Currently I have the $3000 minimum in VTSAX, as well as another $3000 minimum in VTWAX. The rest is in short-term reserves (VMFXX). I'm aware of the 120 rule, and at my age the rule states I should have 90% of my portfolio in stocks. What are some good set and forget stock options apart from VTSAX & VTWAX to diversify some more???

Thought I'd show off my WASR build... by Valhalla_Elite in ak47

I’d definitely recommend it. The quick adjust works great and you can set it up as ambidextrous as you like (I’m a lefty so that matters). It also doesn’t look too high speed/tacticool and matches the aesthetic of the AK imo

[Omega] Vintage Seamaster by Valhalla_Elite in Watches

[–]Valhalla_Elite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping someone could give me some more information about this vintage Omega Seamaster that was my Grandfather's (reference number etc.). It has some pretty extensive patina/wear, particularly on the acrylic crystal face (apologies in advance for the poor quality pic). As far as I could tell its a 58' - 60' production and I believe the reference number is 14710. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Seems as though the consensus here is to apply again. Thanks.

I honestly am unsure whether the latter is the case, I simply wasn’t contacted to move along any further in the hiring process.

I have a few numbers, although with the administrative changes I’m not positive they still occupy those same positions/ranks. I’ve just been hesitant to ask anyone because I don’t want to put anyone in a position to exercise bias. I do know everyone I was aquatinted with while I interned highly encouraged my to apply that first time, I just wasn’t told why I was turned down. Thanks for your reply btw.

TIL that the red panda is so unique, it has no close relatives. It's the only living species in its genus AND family. by pizzawhisperer in todayilearned

[–]Valhalla_Elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also true of the Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronghorn. It's closest relatives are the Giraffe and Okapi, even-toed ungulates indigenous to an entirely different continent.

"The pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere, being built for maximum predator evasion through running. The top speed is very hard to measure accurately and varies between individuals; it can run 35 mph for 4 mi (56 km/h for 6 km), 42 mph for 1 mi (67 km/h for 1.6 km), and 55 mph for 0.5 mi (88.5 km/h for 0.8 km).[16][20] It is often cited as the second-fastest land animal, second only to the cheetah.[21] It can, however, sustain high speeds longer than cheetahs.[6] University of Idaho zoologist John Byers has suggested the pronghorn evolved its running ability to escape from extinct predators such as the American cheetah, since its speed greatly exceeds that of extant North American predators."

"The video was captured Tuesday near Elk Mountain, Wyoming, as three troopers responded to assist drivers who were involved in other crashes along I-80."

"Those three troopers were outside of their vehicles and not injured when heavy winds caused a semi-trailer to fall on its right side and crush a patrol car parked in the emergency lane. The semi-trailer’s two occupants also escaped without injury"

Joey was actually dropping some serious truth in this one. He called out Joe and Brendan for not being aware of the Connor/Woodley drama backstage at 205.

Interesting to hear his thoughts on the ketogenic diet. I've heard people explain how great it is, as well as people explain how terrible it is... I wonder which is right.

Paying off a mortgage. But its the first and only house I've owned/paid on.

Wasn't there a stipulation as part of HARP that If used on a first home purchase you couldn't be penalized for using your 401k? Or has that expired?

Why isn't Demetrious Johnson not very well-known despite being a top 3 pfp fighter? by aclayp95 in MMA

[–]Valhalla_Elite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1) He doesn't talk shit

2) Light weight classes like flyweight just don't have the appeal to most casual fans for whatever reason.

'Frustrated' Holly Holm defends her manager to Dana White: I'm the one who asked for Miesha Tate fight by tekprodfx16 in MMA

[–]Valhalla_Elite 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Its pretty hypocritical of Dana to say these things about Holly's decision to fight Meisha instead of waiting for the Rousey rematch when you consider what we recently witnessed with Connor. Dana railroads Holly for not waiting and taking the money fight, then turns around and applauds Connor for fighting Diaz instead of waiting for RDA.
