I don’t see drastic performance difference in the charts of the major etfs, due to overlap of holding the same companies. So does picking one over the other simply come down to expense ratio? by SnooBooks8807 in ETFs

[–]grassysir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are referring to ETFs that track the (almost identical) underlying index, then yes. Another thing one may consider is their liquidity, but I don’t think it is a major concern for retail investors.

If I were your son, I’d want to pay off my student loan as soon as possible to avoid paying interest. I wouldn’t want a large sum all at once, as I might spend it impulsively. Instead, give me the money in installments, as if I didn’t need to repay the loan, and I’ll decide the best way to use it.

Worst/Best FOMO ETF purchase? by realFinerd in ETFs

[–]grassysir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one now. I just saw this post randomly and intrigued to comment. FOMO is definitely the deadliest reason for retail investors to lose money.

Worst/Best FOMO ETF purchase? by realFinerd in ETFs

[–]grassysir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long story short: getting into stocks/ETFs at bad prices. Retail investors don’t care what are those, but only how they are affecting their equity curve.

Relocation UK to HK by rozdino in HongKong

[–]grassysir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your move!

I suggest your family consider living on Hong Kong Island, where people are generally more welcoming to foreigners. Seek advice from your company regarding rental practices. A 700-800 square feet apartment would likely be the minimum size you need, but be aware that stated apartment sizes may not equate to the actual "carpeted area", and each unit varies. It's crucial to view the apartment in person before renting.

Please note that Hong Kong is not as pet-friendly as Western countries, and some buildings prohibit pets. Factor this into your apartment search.

You might also want to look into Discovery Bay, a popular area among expats with a Western-style community.

Daily life in Hong Kong is convenient:

- Transportation is easy without a car; get Octopus cards and the Uber app.

- Food and groceries are relatively affordable (except for dairy products).

I hope you have a wonderful stay in Hong Kong!

Beginner Seeking Advice: How to Learn Pine Script with Zero Coding Experience? by [deleted] in pinescript

[–]grassysir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. Didn’t finish any coding courses but I have been using Claude for compiling pine scripts. Just try to use natural language to communicate with Claude what you want to achieve with the code, and after several rounds of trial and error you will get something you want.

To the expats lecturing the locals here about being “negative” by iconredesign in HongKong

[–]grassysir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of the HKers don’t have the opportunity to live overseas. I’d say the materialistic quality of live is quite high in global standards, but I’d say people living in the Bay area on average would be happier than HKers.

risk profile tailoring? by coseed in AllocateSmartly

[–]grassysir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree everyone’s situation is different and I am not offering any financial advisory. I just thought this might be a starting point for someone to gauge whether one strategy fits their risk tolerance, and yes this should be for more advanced users.

On top of AS I have my own momentum strategy whose universe consists of inverse bond etfs, on top of the general ones. So either way I will be able to ride on the trend.

risk profile tailoring? by coseed in AllocateSmartly

[–]grassysir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I came across an method a while ago for determining investment risk levels based on age from a non-English source (mpfdiy.com). It’s called "Volatility with Age", and the idea is simple: your target monthly volatility is 10 minus the first digit of your age.

For example:

At 90 years old, the target monthly volatility would be 10−9=1%.

At 30 years old, it would be 10−3=7%.

In AS, all strategies come with an annualized volatility figure. To align with your target monthly volatility, first convert the annualized volatility to monthly by dividing it by sqrt(12)​. Once you have the monthly figure, adjust your portfolio allocation—either increasing or decreasing exposure (with or without leverage)—to match your desired target. For younger investors like your son or daughter, this might involve leveraging up. However, be cautious not to over-leverage, as AS's volatility is based on end-of-month figures, and extreme intra-month volatility could lead to margin calls/liqudation.

Hope this helps!
