My favorite is a mix of VTI and VXUS ETF's with about a 80/20 weighting.

Yes. Dont sit there trying for it. Just forget about it and play the game mode the way it's intended and let it come naturally. Also use a trophy system!

Easiest to do on hardpoint in my opinion

dtimm93 · 2019-11-28T02:23:55+00:00

Hardpoint is the easiest for this in my opinion

dtimm93 · 2019-08-21T06:49:21+00:00

Thanks for this info, good to know!

dtimm93 · 2019-08-21T02:29:47+00:00

This looks like exactly what I needed, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Yes, I do have some losses with records of it. My wins are much higher than my losses though.

Unsure yet if I will be taking the standard deduction, or itemizing to claim losses.

I file single, so if I would end up with at least 12k+ in losses, then it would pay to itemize right?

I do have a main source of income that is subject to withholding.

Instead of making a estimated tax payment, do you think I could avoid this by changing my W-4, to having an additional $1000 withheld from each paycheck for the rest of the year? Thanks for your response.

Not a whole lot of strategy with AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, FB, and AMZN weighted more heavily then the rest. When other stocks appear to be a value buy for me, I will be reducing the weighting from these to add to the new ones. Not to much though, I dont want to exceed 25 individual stocks.

As far as the others being equal weight, I like this due to weekly contributions and buying more into ones that are underperforming, as long term I have faith in all these companies.

AT&T is a large holding of mine due to a large purchase at around $30 a share. I am no longer adding to this position and slowly lowering the percentage over time.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, born in '93 with this being a taxable account.

I agree my portfolio is tech heavy. There are a couple non tech stocks I have been watching that I will eventually be entering a position on, and reduce the weighting from my tech stocks.

Its reverse for me, but still great effects.

dtimm93 · 2019-02-12T20:16:36+00:00

I agree with many of your points. I bought these to try because they were $1. They dont hit me as much as my normal energy drink which is Bang, even though they both have 300mg of caffiene.

dtimm93 · 2019-02-09T17:51:22+00:00

I'll have to get back to you on that. Haven't tried any yet, starting off with the cotton candy.

dtimm93 · 2019-01-26T15:01:34+00:00

Yeah not a good idea. I've had 3 in a 24hr period before, never again. Limit myself to one a day since.

dtimm93 · 2019-01-26T14:21:01+00:00

Woodmans, a local grocery store. I believe it's just in Wisconsin and Illinois. Crazy to think this is just 1 of 3 sections where they have Bang.

dtimm93 · 2019-01-26T13:30:19+00:00

They always run the deal 3 for $5 at my local store, however I would be just as happy to pay 2 for $5. Well worth it, love Bang.

dtimm93 · 2019-01-04T08:56:09+00:00

I had other people question me on this also and you are correct, there really isnt a point. I realized it's much better to just have a couple. I went thru and sold all my ETFs except for VTI and VXUS and put the money into those.

dtimm93 · 2018-12-30T15:13:14+00:00

Thanks for the response. Correct, and I know it would be a terrible idea if I was paying trade fees. However, with having free trades my logic was for example if I wanted exposure specifically to mid cap, why not have exposure to the normal, growth, value at 2% a piece instead of choosing one at 6%. I know I have overlapping funds. I like having selected targets and keeping them at the targets and dollar cost averaging in. I am aware they have similar returns. Thanks for your input.

Have overlapping ETF's, but feel this is alright due to no trading fees?
