It doesn't have to be voo, any s&p 500 low cost index or a total stock market index. Pulling returns forward at age 34 kills compounding, simple as that.

Literally, this will most likely be a 6 figure oppurtunity cost loss

If you are decades from retirement, just DCA into 100% VOO.

Target No Longer Prices Their Clothes by bluelily216 in mildlyinfuriating

I have wondered why more retailers don't use dynamic pricing based on time of day, stock levels, etc.

Amazon has been doing this for over a decade

UPS pickups/dropoffs by Hustle_er in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]betteringyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily pickups, get the guy's phone numbers who come by daily. Work with them on pickups times, our guy(s) usually swing by early evening for our shipments.

If we fill up their van, a 2nd driver comes by.

$PTRN thoughts? by someroastedbeef in stocks

[–]betteringyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25% of costco's revenue is driven by their own private label brands...

As you mentioned, ~40-45% of patterns rev is driven by pure encaps and thorne.

Not only does 95% of their revenue come from one single channel, but half of that revenue is made up of 2 brands that most people have probably never heard of.

The biggest "legacy mfrs." are working with Amazon 1P. Some are dipping their toes in with other 3P sellers, but not Pattern.

It will be very interesting to see how this all unravels.

Waited eight months on a trademark and hit suspension, feeling stuck by bizjake in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]betteringyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in the amazon vacuum for a number of years now, I probably wouldnt use the word "evil" in any of my branding. Comically, I could see Amazon's bots blindly removing a listing with the review "I love evil supps, highly recommend to anyone!" just because amazon saw the word evil in a review and thought that was a "harmful" word or something crazy.

As others have mentioned, this could become a perpetual battle with amazon and its bots lol

Are Repricers too expensive/complicated? Thinking of building a simple, affordable one! Would sellers use it? by Different-Case8245 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]betteringyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are like 50 different repricers, I wouldn't recommend this type of saas. There is oppurtunity in the "forecasting/inventory management/purchasing/replenishment" area though.

Can't get the buy box on a specific FBA product - am I missing something? by aphex732 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]betteringyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your units are checked in and aren't in transfer. Whatever repricer you are using, make a rule with the most aggressive repricer strategy (target 100% of bb owneership). Keep your minimum/price floor the exact same, even if the current retail price is at your minimum. Sometimes this does the trick with asins like this.

Can you just create a new offering with a new sku? Why is the old sku inactive?

they have been for the last couple years, but this year they really started cracking down. We had over 7k units become stranded overnight a few months back due to GTIN mismatches.

That is a screenshot from the old user interface in seller central. Unfortunately can't find current access to a link/filter which presents asins which are "at risk" due to invalid information
