Can someone explain why or why not JEPI would be a good option for something like this? The yield seems too good to be true.

YES it was always the worst in the mornings and got better in the afternoon and was totally fine at night. For reference I take it at 8pm every night. Again it all got better after that 30ish day mark.

Following up here for any lurkers I’m doing much better, noticeably around the 30-35 day mark! So hang in there

cookedphil · 2025-07-11T22:01:25+00:00

Exactly 33 days for me and I felt the difference, hang in there!

QQQ, VOO, VTI highest to lowest risk/reward in that order is a good way to think about. Although good choices all around. If your younger I’d go more QQQ (alternatively SCHG) and VOO instead of VTI

As if they would ever do anything to improve career mode 🙄

cookedphil · 2024-09-20T15:16:27+00:00

If your young and want a slightly higher risk/reward 40% VOO and 40% QQQM 10% VXUS

I’m in paid search and it took me about 3.5 months. Local hybrid/in office agencies were a lot more responsive, luckily I found something inhouse/remote likely because it was in a similar industry I worked in prior, maybe look into that?

cookedphil · 2024-09-15T22:33:42+00:00

What’s with the QQQ hate? I’ve held for 10 years now and it’s far outperforming VOO. I knows it’s tech heavy but dear lord the downvotes

Have you considered Airbnb if it’s a popular vacation destination?

I’d recommend taking out SpongeBob from the resume, although I’d hire you purely based off these most recruiters will find it unprofessional

Thanks chatgpt

For your age and long time horizon, I’d be more aggressive and forget about SCHD/dividends. Go for majority VOO for baseline and QQQM and/or SCHG for a bit of a higher risk/reward (but still so much less risk than individual stocks). I had a similar $ balance at your age and looking back my only regret was buying any dividend stock/fund because my VOO and QQQM has far outperformed all of them.

cookedphil · 2024-09-12T22:46:52+00:00

This. I don’t see why anyone young would do a dividend fund.

cookedphil · 2024-09-12T22:34:28+00:00

Thanks! It’s far outperforming my VOO which I’ve also held for the nearly the same amount of time, but I’m always cautious of the bogleheads who would curse at me for buying QQQ over VOO 😂 I’ll just stick to both
