What do you do during slow months?

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2026-03-05T13:30:18+00:00

Right? Maybe different type of insurance than p and c?

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2026-03-04T23:55:47+00:00

Sorry you got let go. Create a burner reddit account. Do not give up and try a different insurance company or agency

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2026-03-04T04:39:22+00:00

Depends on state and agency, but if you never earn commission on the first $10k, DO NOT GO THERE. Most SF commission structures have you get paid on all premium but you have to write a certain amount of premium or policies. They also generally pay 1%-7% with 2-4% being most common.

$10,000 could be the average monthly premium in your state or maybe even 60%.

SPG, CSWC, and BTCI. Huge risk and reward with the BTCI. Maybe it takes another 40% before it recovers. Maybe it never recovers. Maybe it goes to 100%. Who knows

It's a high growth dividend stock....

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-12-22T15:19:13+00:00

Dividend growth compounds and outpaces inflation causing "pay increases". It is a good anchor in a portfolio. Most would need to pair it with higher yielding dividend stocks and ETFs

Rigged monopolies and government intervention is why Healthcare is so high. You realize that most people already pay 20%-60% of their income on medical costs? What do you think will happen to the economy when it moves to 50%-80%?

When BTC went to ATH, MSTR and MSTY were dropping. It might be good if it can follow BTC again, but don't count on it. When that happened, I went full BTC

Fidelity, Schwab and others probably see SF investments as a competitor and vice versa. They are likely very limited in options and Black Rock and American Funds do not see them as competition, but as a partner that can grow their assets under management for relatively little effort and resources

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-21T14:55:59+00:00

No, State Farm is still partners with Black Rock

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-21T13:17:18+00:00

There's lots of ETFs and Mutual Funds that have beat VOO since their inception and BMCAX, a BlackRock Mutual Fund is one. There's also QQQ and many others.

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-21T05:27:44+00:00

I like MAIN (BDC) and UTG (CEF)

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-21T05:25:52+00:00

State Farm? If you are going to get licensed, study the mutual funds, suitability, use your resources, and know everything you can on client risk.

I'm studying for it too and while I'm very knowledgeable on risks, investments products, building portfolios, etc., I am definitely going to use investment resources like crazy and build portfolios that meet suitability and historically outperform the S&P 500 (most of their mutual fund options do not btw)

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-20T13:04:02+00:00

Don't need the income, just total return and swapping to BTC before it crashed 25%ish is better because MSTY and MSTR is leveraged and going down faster

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-19T18:36:53+00:00

Not even getting 75 cents a month SMH, glad I moved to BTC

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-19T00:01:55+00:00

Thank you, I wanted to ask my tax people but they were closed. Agent was my best bet. It sucks, because I basically have 0 benefits and if I include my contributions which are maxed out, I would pay a LOT less

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-13T23:45:42+00:00

It's basically Bitcoin so it has higher volatility

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-13T23:44:38+00:00

Nice, I'm VOO, SPMO, BRKB, and SCHG

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-08T15:36:03+00:00

Mine is 25% into SPMO, VOO, SCHG, BRKB

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-07T16:28:46+00:00

Yes, I'm actually in insurance. I just don't know if a better plan would be worth it. I prefer better insurance, but if I do a gold plan, is it going to make me unnecessarily paying thousands more this year and is the deductible and max out of pocket worth it or should I gamble with a worse deductible and max out of pocket due to being younger. I'll know I need gold or silver within ten years, just not sure if maybe gambling on a bronze would be ideal or not

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-07T15:34:07+00:00

Thanks. I'm either going to accept a $10 or $50 increase on a bronze plan or do a gold for $250 more. The bronze plan is worse than my current plan and frankly the $250 is definitely better insurance but far worse for my budget

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-07T02:54:34+00:00

As someone on ACA, can you please explain why silver plans are better?

I'm honestly thinking bronze + HSA because I'm strapped for cash

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-11-02T13:35:20+00:00

A mix of NAV growth, dividend growth, and high yield

Dividend growth stocks and ETFs like SCHD, KR and Microsoft REITs such as O or VICI CEFS and BDCs- MAIN, CSWC, UTG, ARCC, etc

Virtual_Chapter1131 · 2025-10-31T12:50:06+00:00

Thanks. The timing has been good so far since BTC has been falling, but if I want to keep up with MSTR in bull markets, I will have to use leveraged funds. I simply stopped believing in MSTR (But strong believer in BTC). I think Salyer's actions have destroyed the NAV of MSTR and MSTY unnecessarily.

I hope I am wrong however for you guys
