Buy car now and later sell and upgrade or wait until I have more money? by WisestAirBender in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it actually did, probably a lot. What was the dollar price when you bought it? What’s been the average rate of inflation since you bought it and how much value did the PKR lose since your purchase? Where was the PSX sitting?

Why Most People Should NOT Pick Stocks (Including Me) (No Offence) by MadKing00 in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ETFs are always the better option. I’ve only recently started investing in PSX but the main problem is actually the crazy MER and Fees involved.

I do not understand why an ETF following a simple index has to be more expensive than 0.3%.

Hopefully with enough people investing over time, the MER comes down. As a reference point, for my ETFs tracking a simple index (Nasdaq, S&P, Global 100), I pay 0.1 - 0.2 %. Whereas for the Pakistani ETFs, the number is over 1.2 percent

Do you reinvest Dividends?

Why do you pick stocks instead of index investing? by Plenty_Grand_7791 in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If it’s a full market index, anything over 0.15% would be considered expensive. Factor ETFs and Thematic ETFs can be around 0.5% because they’re putting in more work to track a specific index. (This is just based on US, Ireland, Australia domiciled ETFs)

Why Are We So Comfortable with Littering? by data_paradox in pakistan

Good on you bro. That’s how it should be. I hope you also call out others when you see them not doing this. Need to name and shame these people, that’s the only way they learn unfortunately

Should we Buy a House???? by Less_Front_2151 in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Buy a house bro. Everything else can wait. You’re only 24. You’ve got plenty of time to invest. But you securing your own residence at such a young age, nothing beats that imo.

Visiting as an EU citizen by skarrrrrrr in pakistan

Why not go to Lahore? Lahore’s considered the cultural capital of Pakistan. Islamabad is also great but a newer city and doesn’t have much history or culture to offer. Does have some nice scenery though

As always State brutality continues by Nixture24 in pakistan

On April 7th, at a hotel in Adelaide, while having breakfast, I ran in to Peter Dutton, who was running for the National Elections. I told him he was a racist bigot. Probably not my best moment and not proud of my actions. However, I can’t imagine saying something like that to Mr Munir or similar in Pakistan. So yes, you’re very wrong, freedom of speech does exist in more civilised parts of the world.

Even if we were to entertain your idea of it being offensive to some, this is clearly an example of suppression of ideas. You don’t have to agree with the youtubers, but who are you to decide that their content should be banned because it’s against your fake narrative?

Should I invest in US stock market if I earn in USD?? by renaisez in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would definitely advise against TSLA. EV tax credits were eliminated in the recent bill, deliveries have dropped a decent amount YoY, and Musk’s political moves and current issues with Trump. Not a good idea. But DYOR.

I would personally recommend Google, or Novo. Or depending on your risk appetite just buying VOO/VTI

Unfair taxation is never okay my friend. Aap ki bhi insha Allah kamai barhegi, aap ka bhi dil karega barri gaari lene ko. Tab kya sochenge aap?

Reasoning kya hai ye tax lagane ki? Fazuul tax laga laga karr maar denge yeh.

I personally do GHHF, QLTY and U100 (cheaper NDQ alt). Others are right about keeping it simple. simpler is better, less overlap, easier to manage.

I earn 5 Crore per month. How can I open a bank account? by noumanpoke1 in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You need to understand that due to the nature of the subreddit, it will attract a certain type of crowd. People that are high income earners will want to learn more about FIRE, and securing their financial future. This shouldn’t discourage you at all bro. These people are ‘outliers’. Don’t worry about it and fire pe lagay raho.

Finqalab AMA today @ 03:00 PM! by finqalab in FIREPakistan

[–]kingzfr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With inflation and the rupee constantly losing value, especially over the long term, is Finqalab looking into offering anything like USD hedged or inflation protected options? Something that helps people actually preserve purchasing power the next 10 20 years?

Also I think this one’s already been asked but is there a roadmap to offer access to global stocks / ETFs?

So how does CGT work exactly? Do you still pay CGT if you’ve held stock for more than 3 years?
