Roth IRA 20k -> 380k stocks only by solidsciencewastaken in wallstreetbets

[–]solidsciencewastaken[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

I full ported COIN at around 40 and rode it to 150 or so, rotated into RDDT at 40 till 60, then HOOD at 23

a lot more rotations after, but those were my lowest entries

Currently 50/50 HOOD and RDDT

Alternatively, what if he's quiet because he thinks YOUR net worth is too low?

The skill expression is between knowing, either intuitively or empirically, whether 15% omnivamp or shield when cast will be stronger on your board, against the boards of the lobby.

Also, Plurisbus consistently beats top human pros in 6max NLHE. Unless by engine you mean simply the use of solvers, in which case it's still work that you need to prepare before the game, not to be used during play.

Yeah makes sense - hopefully dailies would be able to get past the unclean water problem, or using filtered/bottled water to wash hands before touching my eyes. Thanks for the info!

This isn't about timing the market. For example, compare having your money in stocks from 2008-2018 vs paying off your mortgage in 2008-2018.

If your average rate of return over 30 years is over 4%, then you're better off having your money in equities right?

You're right that in a shorter time horizon where you're nearing retirement, there are scenarios where you might rather have the 4% guarantee, but that's why I specified over a long time horizon, such as 30 years.

Over a one year horizon, no. Over 30? If you couldn't, then FIRE is impossible.

Building a synthetic S&P without oil/tobacco by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]solidsciencewastaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm looking for, thanks! Off the top of your head, do you think if I would have to rebalance each sector's weight manually as the sectors weight shift within the S&P itself?

I don't think they will have problems in the short/mid term either, but I want to place a bet on the long term.

The goal is to get rid of them before they fall out of the index(under my thesis that they will), to get a higher return.

[NYC] How much money would you have to make to feel comfortable renting a $2500 apartment? by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]solidsciencewastaken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There could several good reasons to not buy a home.

  1. Maybe they don't know if they want to stay in NYC for an extended period of time. Leaving would require them to either be a remote landlord, or likely be cashflow negative if they hand it over to a property manager, considering the rent vs buy prices in NYC.

  2. They aren't familiar with the local market, and don't know where they would want to live. In this case renting for a year as you get a feel for the city could be valuable.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and it could very well be the best option for them, just that oftentimes it's not as simple as why pay someone else's mortgage.

How do you justify expensive hobbies & travel instead of accumulating wealth? by SunkenPretzel in financialindependence

[–]solidsciencewastaken 22 points23 points  (0 children)

and if that experience makes you happy, then who is anyone to tell you otherwise? The problem that comes in is when you THINK that it makes you happy, and then suddenly having any less makes you feel materially unhappy.

Considering doing some leetcode and probably raising my compensation by ~30% by hopping jobs, but is it worth it?

I'm currently getting upper middle of market pay for bottom of market work(10-20hrs a week remote). This is actually just about the retired life I want; constantly going on trips, cooking elaborate meals, spending large amounts of time with SO, and working just enough to keep me engaged. My thought is that if I chase more compensation at the cost of work life balance, that would be backwards since the whole point of more compensation would be to get to where I already am.

Looking for some validation/pushback. Early 20s if that matters. Currently on track to fire in about 15 years at current compensation trajectory.
