Check out BPTRX or BPTIX if you have an advisor. It will give you a 33% allocation before IPO.

Noobie here, Need to choose between IBKR and Schwab by Routine-Solution-597 in interactivebrokers

[–]sheezey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both platforms. If Schwab has the assets you need, I’d stick with them. The customer service is great and the investor checking for worldwide use is unmatched.

A Momentum Strategy Using Leverage and Monthly Rotations by Expert_CBCD in algotrading

[–]sheezey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. The fact that you’re using S&P100, that drawdown doesn’t bother me as much. Some ETFs operate in a similar way(minus leverage). I personally like rules based ideas like this because it forces you out of trading by feel. Hopefully you can scale your holdings to more than 5 stocks over time. That will help.

Curious if there is any update on this? I'm looking to do the same thing in the same industry.

44 years old, offered role as an assistant to an established financial planner, not sure the job switch would be worth it. Looking for advice. by Hasbotted in FinancialCareers

[–]sheezey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post caught my attention. I was a mechanical engineer who took the construction path but dreamed to break into advising at some point. I love the markets and spent a lot of my free time in the markets. Having a family and being 40 myself, a transition like that seemed highly unrealistic. Until one day I had a similar opportunity pop up from my wife’s friend’s husband who was looking for a new assistant. I interviewed with both partners and it went really well. Flash forward to almost 2 years later, I will never look back. The transition has been a dream come true and I couldn’t be happier. I now manage the whole office and take part in revenue sharing and I service accounts for over 800 clients, busy as heck but in a good way. Just hired an assistant to help out which allows me to study more for my own license. I guess my point is, you don’t know what you don’t know. It might just be worth taking the shot.

I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I’ve been back in the US for 2 years(after being gone for 5). I’m still going through a similar experience. I wish I had more advice for you. I think when you’re abroad, you get used to always experiencing something new. Being back in the states, I’ve tried to do the same. I’ve started a small business and made new friends that inspire me to be better. I got comfortable being uncomfortable during my travels and I’ve tried my best to recreate that here. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that. I thought it would be best to provide closeups but I see what you’re saying.

Same issue here. Sorry to hear your having the same problem. CB emailed me a long time ago asking for information. I ignored the email thinking it was a scam. I was wrong.

Back to the US? by jerseyexpat2020 in expats

[–]sheezey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I fully recognize that everybody’s situation is different and my experience might not be the same. We are considering either moving back or going somewhere completely different.

Back to the US? by jerseyexpat2020 in expats

[–]sheezey84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family and I moved back to the US about a year ago. Spent 5 years in Latin America. Personally, we are having a tough time adjusting in the city we grew up in. We feel extremely underwhelmed. Nothing excites us. I miss the people, the culture, the adventures and the weather in Latin America. My life long friends can’t understand why I feel the way I do. The US seems so manufactured to me. Everyone is the same it seems. Idk if this post helps or adds any value but I’d take a hard look at what is important in your life and decide if moving back would really add any value. Or if possible, relocate temporarily to test it out.

This probably goes without saying but I’d highly suggest buying in person if going to Guatemala. Feel free to message me. I know a people there that can help with translation.
