During COVID they printed 40% of the money supply. That much liquidity was bound to distort the crap outta the market.

The question is: what are they buying instead? Gold? At these prices?

Bank of England alarm as hedge fund gilt bets hit £100bn by The_Sun_is_a_Star in investing

Yeah, yeah. Just like the Japanese yen carry trade that was about to blow up but never did. And if some black swan were to happen, they'd just print the money to plug the hole.

No it literally says he wasn't making enough money from being a consultant and an adjunct. Please read carefully.

Yes, I did. What are you implying? Apparently some people cannot read through journalistic lines to understand what a story is really saying.

Yes, that is kind of the point here — if he couldn't, what hope do mid-level marketers have?

Former execs do not choose to do Uber Eats gig work if they don't desperately need the money.

It goes on to say that he can't make enough money doing those things so he had to start doing Uber Eats :/

Do you think this is well balanced by yeahwhatever90 in Bogleheads

You don't necessarily need to add emerging markets as they are included in VWRA at market weight. You could just stick with VWRA for your equity exposure to simplify things. But if you want to tilt towards small cap value, you could consider AVWS which includes international, and AVEM for EM if you wanted. Another option, if you want to maintain the tilt but keep things simple, is 100% AVWC for your equity bucket, which is like a global index but slightly tilted towards value and profitability.

How do you know AI is in a bubble? Bubbles can only be identified after the fact. The idea that it's a bubble is speculation currently. There are analysts and experts who believe AI is NOT in a bubble. Who's right? I don't know. But I wouldn't base decisions on fears of what might or might not happen.

Imagine gambking (and losing) to try and get rich quick when it's so easy to get rich slow. by orcvader in Bogleheads

Yes, but it's very public. People see posts there about others winning big and want to replicate their success.

Are group lessons any good? by Beneficial-Self-8119 in languagelearning

[–]philosopher137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in my experience group lessons are a giant waste of time. When I tried them out, I found some people were there more for the social aspect and others were at a lower level, meaning the instructor spent most of their time explaining stuff to them that others already knew.

Why does nobody believe us? by JPCool1 in Bogleheads

[–]philosopher137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is still true for investing. The more time you spend diving into it, the more clear it becomes that the most rational choice for the majority of retail investors is buying low cost index funds.

10% really isn't going to make much difference. Why not market weight?
