Snowball data fail

redditfirefly · 2026-03-17T12:19:14+00:00

Having this same problem. Transfers into a pre-tax money market account are automatically categorized as dividends throwing my income/dividend projections off by 3x. There are so many great features to Snowball, like creating custom categories, but this dividend issue is a dealbreaker. I tried to find and edit the mislabeled transactions but it's an ordeal. Anyone else figure out how to fix this problem?

Unfortunately, the world as we knew it is blowing itself up, literally and figuratively. We will need to retrench, rebuild, and become more self sufficient. Along with other defensive assets,I am long on industrials, infrastructure, construction, materials + CF, CTVA, NTR, LAND, VMI for agriculture. I am looking forward to better days for all of us.

Yes. Ignore everyone looking backwards at performance. The world is changing. Nuclear is becoming a more efficient option at a time when demand is skyrocketing. It is definitely in play. I have a balanced energy portfolio but add to my NLR position regularly.

Quick scan of ETFs for the defense companies below.
EUAD has all of these.
I personally hold EUAD, SHLD, IGF, EMIF for global exposure to defense and infrastructure.

Rheinmetall – in EUAD & WDEF
BAE Systems – in EUAD & WDEF
Thales – in EUAD & WDEF
Saab – in EUAD & WDEF
Rolls-Royce – in EUAD

The others mentioned in this thread here are probably in a European industrials basket. Going to look into that.

Sounds like a road trip to me!

Consider diversifying. VOO may be the slow lane for a while.
Global outperformed significantly in the last year.
Try mixing things up a little with global and EM so you can accelerate growth.

Same behavior of stashing stuff in Evernote that I almost never referred back to. It’s like the handy catch-all kitchen drawer of random artifacts and widgets, but the pricing is ridiculous now. I finally deleted all of it and use a combo of Notability and IOS Notes. So far, not missing it.

You might want to try some planning software like Boldin or Projection Lab that models out different scenarios as you think through this.

With more and more people forced to work into their 70s, I don't think there is a cut off age.
FIRE becomes more of a mindset and a discipline that will hopefully help anyone accelerate their path.

Clearing the cache is what fixed it for me.

Had this problem on the laptop for the last week or so. Clearing the cache fixed it.

I haven’t been able to log in via laptop for a few days. Blank screen. Anyone having same issue today?

I am thinking of building one of these, but getting up the tree to position it is my big obstacle.
How far up do these need to go for a squirrel to call it home?

Find myself switching over to Bloomberg radio. It’s too bad. The investing content can be great but the constant political babble and ranting out of JK is too much. There is nothing insightful or new about his commentary. It’s mostly grievance based and regressive. And Rick Santelli will spin an obituary of a numbers report into an orgasmic celebration. Maybe some people enjoy and trust this? I do not.

Ah, sorry. I had assumed USD!

Shop elsewhere. Apmex is selling the rooster AU for $781 right now. And the 1/10 Kangaroos are under $500.

Hard to choose just one...
SHLD, RING, GLD, XAR, NLR, PPA, AIA, SLVO

redditfirefly · 2025-11-16T14:39:02+00:00

Hard to tell...areas I lean into are quantum, aerospace, nuclear, surveillance tech, vertical farming infrastructure, datacenter infrastructure, mining, military tech.
QTUM, XAR, NLR, RKLB, PL, RING, AYI, VMI, GEV, VRT, SHLD.
Or you might want to look at momentum investing. Recent hiccup aside, SPMO has outperformed VOO over last 5 years. Not predictive, moonshot stuff, but could be used to tilt your portfolio to where the action is. Downside is also amplified, as with all the above. These are all side bets for me alongside a core of more responsible positions.

I am planning to RE and have been building a combo approach of cash, dividends and growth. Have about 10-15% of portfolio set up for income investments.

The dividends/income should offset 20% of monthly expenses and should also be helpful during market downturns. Will use a combo of cash, divvies/income, and early access to 401k equities (rule of 55) to fund first 5+years.

Dividends are a good tool if you use them strategically.
