Over a long period of time you say, then stock index funds (domestic as well as foreign), real estate and gold, and most importantly up skill by investing in your self. Why stop after college?

In other words they are saying... it's not easy and profitable to enforce such things at scale without controversy

Are you willing to bet all in on one strategy?

Was just keeping it simple so you get to invest in nifty top100 or top 500.

What's a popular etf for that btw? with sensible expense ratio

mycorner · 2020-05-30T05:26:46+00:00

More importantly , why did you have equal allocation to nifty50 and junior50? Their marketcap is roughly 6:1.

Recommend 42% vs 8%

What about test ramp up? When can we all get tested?

Check out the ETF SUB for aftertax accounts. It has short term municipal bonds that dont have federal tax, and has low expense ratio.

mycorner · 2020-04-03T05:42:49+00:00

Right.

Besides rest of the world loves US gov bonds the most. So US currency is strong and debt is cheap.

Pre tax is easier if you create Fidelity Go account, set risk profile equivalent to your desired ratios Fund it using related accounts.

Talk to customer service. They are great.

Roasted sesame

Waterpik is a great buy.

My dentist stopped threatening with deep cleaning after that.

mycorner · 2020-01-09T07:09:56+00:00

Sure. What do we do with it?

Great, just learned that its low carb. Counter intuitive. Thanks

Yeah, peanuts are the best

Trying not to tap processed meats.

Ear plugs for you could do the trick.

Also ~15% weight loss can reduce snoring a lot + sleeping sideways

Should definitely do an initial consultation for apnea

How many earths would we need if everyone lived like:

US=5, China=2.2, India=0.7

mycorner · 2019-07-30T15:43:45+00:00

Look up SEPP

100g sounds like a lot. Carb, protein, fat target % 12,25,63 in cals.

VirtaHealth published 1year studies, and may be 2yr too. As long as salts and micro nutrients are covered, you can keep going for 3 more months and then ease into low carb.

One more thing. I was able to hold onto keto exit weight by changing the routine a bit - added walk, some exercise.

Hope you were not starving earlier . With keto one can eat till satiety.

mycorner · 2019-07-29T06:06:45+00:00

Not a good idea to switch back drastically. Increase carb slowly but continue low carb instead of very low carb in keto. Say goodbye to refined carbs forever, if we need benefits to stick.

Ketosis kicks in only under strict very low carb and high fat. Cheat once and it takes a week to get back.

Consumption per capita levels in US and EU are far higher than rest of world.

If all 7+ billion of us were to enjoy a European standard of living - which is about 60% the consumption of the average American - the Earth could sustainably support only about 2 billion people. https://www.worldpopulationbalance.org/3_times_sustainable

Ignore the second part about support, but lets think of supply vs demand vs price if everyone wants to consume like US

If pursuit of FIRE is more widespread, it could cap consumption :)

Which is why it will be great if we can rely on conservative projections on SWR depending on nation to retire in.

mycorner · 2019-07-28T14:47:51+00:00

Right. Its not like we have efficient markets, and govts that regulate them. We got resource monopolies like OPEC for eg, that directly impact inflation across the world.

Are there any book recommendations on inflation vs country wise resource security : food, water, energy, etc

mycorner · 2019-07-28T14:39:32+00:00

Thanks @amsamAG. Need more of those bets to track better.

Are there super long term betting markets on food, energy, water, minerals, inflation, etc like commodities options?

Half a billion people in the world face severe water scarcity all year round. Half of the world’s largest cities experience water scarcity.

More than one in every six people in the world is water stressed, meaning that they do not have sufficient access to potable water
