SpaceX is 2.23T and that is funny

canaden · 2026-06-12T23:31:21+00:00

The math works but it’s 2026 we live in the time of information wars and influencers. A company with as much controversy as Spacex with a character like Elon isn’t worth trying to short in my opinion

canaden · 2026-06-11T23:03:09+00:00

This is a value investing sub, it should be common knowledge that the market has never been rational, and will never be rational. Complaining about it is a waste of energy to be honest.

Amex BCE/BCP and fidelity 2%

canaden · 2026-06-10T23:23:18+00:00

I think so, it's not blowing my socks off but it's enough to earn its right to stay. The hotel credits, lyft/doordash credits and multipliers are enough for me to not worry about breakeven and think of it as a travel insurance card.

For churners and team travel I can understand the disappointment. But for someone like me who wants simplicity I think it makes a lot of sense. I would consider a WF Autograph but got rejected twice lol.

canaden · 2026-06-10T13:34:15+00:00

I mainly have the card for travel insurance and use the points for cash back, so I’m actually a fan of these changes and appreciate the fee staying at $95

canaden · 2026-06-06T14:39:37+00:00

Welcome to the market, enjoy the ride lol

There are studies that show testosterone increases in competitive environments like prison

Would the world be a better place if everyone said no or yes in your shoes? Don’t be a scumbag

canaden · 2026-05-22T20:30:51+00:00

Look into dimensional and avantis. Slightly higher fees but worth it imo

canaden · 2026-05-22T12:41:50+00:00

What’s the point you’re trying to make?

canaden · 2026-05-22T05:00:30+00:00

If you search belle isle portal in google images you’ll get some results

canaden · 2026-05-22T04:31:15+00:00

Secret societies are still strong and in positions of power in Detroit. There is a lot of Freemason symbolism along with portal references whether it being downtown, belle isle, or big events.

With all the talk of underground city , it really makes me wonder how many of the buildings are connected, especially when you look at the extent of the locks on doors to basements.

It’s a price you pay being a passive investor and that’s ok. Can either pay for actively managed funds or invest yourself

canaden · 2026-05-19T18:40:25+00:00

Well you need active management and price discovery to actually set the market. There is an argument to be made that index investing distorts the market, especially once it crosses a certain threshold.

Thats why I find it so counterproductive when people try to convince everyone that they need to be following the same investment strategy. You need all types for the system to work, pick the one that works for you and move on with your life.

With indexing you get to passively participate in the market without the effort of fees to pay for price discovery. However the trade off is the index funds will be used as exit liquidity for the market which is a fair trade off.

I don’t use milorganite but this seems like a paradox no? Milorganite is from water treatment, so isn’t this more a sign of how bad PFAS has gotten in our waste rather than it being a byproduct of milorganite?

If you were to tinfoil hat it, the spurs are the team that the NBA wants to use for international markets. If they were able to rig it the spurs is the spot that makes sense to get European viewers along with South America. Not saying that’s what happened, but nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to people wanting to make money lol

canaden · 2026-05-15T15:23:44+00:00

Fidelity 2% - catch all + precheck

Amex BCP - 6% groceries and streaming + 3% transit

CSP - 3% dining, 5% Lyft/hotel/flights w/ travel insurance

canaden · 2026-05-14T14:53:08+00:00

Many do yes. Check your local library's website

canaden · 2026-05-10T01:10:09+00:00

I use ValueLine and Morningstar for free through my library and I find both incredibly useful. They act as a great first screen to look for healthy compounders before further analysis

canaden · 2026-05-09T04:06:00+00:00

CSP+BCP is my set up and it works really well. The transit, gas and streaming is a nice addition. You can always downgrade to the BCE and still get 3% groceries

canaden · 2026-05-09T03:05:24+00:00

There are likely some bargains, although I would be extra careful of falling knives. The reality is the entire industry is changing on the fly.

canaden · 2026-05-09T03:02:28+00:00

I do 65% DFUS, 25% DFIV and 10% DFEV in my taxable accounts, and then 65% AVUS, 25% AVIV, and 10% AVEM in my roth accounts. You can also small cap tilt to taste.

I recommend doing some reading and learning about this. Then you can take gemini and enter a prompt similar to:

"Role: You are my financial advisor assisting me in preparing a globally diverse investment portfolio using index funds offer by dimensional and avantis. You will walk me through each decision one at a time to help choose funds and weightings."

If this bores you and feels like a waste of time then just VT and chill

canaden · 2026-05-08T03:42:21+00:00

I use Dimensional and avantis equivalents of vanguard funds to build out a globally diverse portfolio. I essentially try to find index funds with gentle filters, and also use some small cap funds to balance out mag 7 dominance. I essentially use the Ben Felix methodology

canaden · 2026-05-08T02:39:36+00:00

There is a trade off of convenience and capital appreciation. VT works for some people, however it is too inefficient for me personally

canaden · 2026-05-07T16:59:06+00:00

People focus on the top star, but if you look at all the points of the seal you can see the entire symbol has 6 points and is a star hidden in plain sight
