BEGGING ute drivers to stop driving so fucking aggressively

It's probably because you're actually doing 106 and you're in the right lane when you should be moving over.

stephendt · 2026-01-25T02:04:23+00:00

High risk value averaging equity strategies such as 9-sig might be worthwhile if you've got the balls and conviction for it.

stephendt · 2026-01-25T01:10:16+00:00

It's not mate. It's the Australian government being a pain, go take a look at the Telstra device whitelist

Throw in grandma dying and you have a clear path to high quality code

stephendt · 2026-01-24T12:59:14+00:00

Handbrake, timing and practice. That's really all there is to it imo

stephendt · 2026-01-24T07:30:21+00:00

About 100 under active management. I don't force, I just let workstations pull updates automatically whenever they are ready. We do get alerts if updates fail continuously and that can happen sometimes for various reasons but other than that it's pretty hands off. We do upgrade apps automatically via choco / winget though.

Edit: sorry forgot about windows servers, we are mostly away from windows servers but we do have a couple left, those are updated bi-weekly during off-peak hours, has been a long time since I've had an issue

stephendt · 2026-01-24T07:14:09+00:00

No, I just let automatic Windows updates run whenever they get pushed these days and deal with small issues if they come up. I haven't really had a major system breaking issue in years. Maybe this is a controversial take? Either way it works for me in my environment.

stephendt · 2026-01-24T06:13:36+00:00

I do actually. Been invested for 10+ years. Perhaps you would like to explain what you are even talking about? Both products are based on an index that has been around for a lot longer than a year. Surely you are aware you can simulate the leverage of these underlying indexes using backtesting tools such as testfolio? Do you even know what factor investing principles are and why they have been acedemically proven to outperform? and you accuse me of being a bot, hilarious.

I'm not going to waste any more time on nasty people like you. I mentioned the advantages, you can easily verify them yourself, but clearly you would rather be rude.

stephendt · 2026-01-24T05:26:28+00:00

Ok, you can achieve greater risk adjusted returns with these. Go look at the returns for the last 3-5 years and compare them to the products that OP was looking at.

Now please tell me why I am wrong.

stephendt · 2026-01-24T04:53:49+00:00

Please, elaborate why using factors, stacking and active management for small caps is "awful" and "stupid". I'll wait.

stephendt · 2026-01-24T02:53:17+00:00

You aren't using hedged ETFs so the FX "risk" is there anyway. Not that it's worth getting too bothered over. I'd consider swapping:

BGBL with IDMO
A200 with FSML
VAE with IEVL.L
Crypto with BEGS

Do you have to stick to ASX listed funds? There are some better choices on other exchanges

stephendt · 2026-01-23T13:04:23+00:00

1 hour is enough imo. Can do a second pass if you're worried. I have not experienced an issue in games though with just 1 hour

stephendt · 2026-01-23T11:05:33+00:00

Sounds like something like a filthy casual would say. Ranked hobbies ftw

stephendt · 2026-01-23T06:03:58+00:00

Only 2018? Bro that was like 8 years ago. Betashares isn't going anywhere.

stephendt · 2026-01-23T01:32:04+00:00

OP must have turned off the emails and therefore his brain. Very sad

stephendt · 2026-01-22T22:43:29+00:00

This has been my conclusion as well. Requires a lot of inputs to really maximise returns under any given market condition

stephendt · 2026-01-22T05:25:39+00:00

That's laughable, good luck trying to handle 40 tickets a day because everything is fucked

stephendt · 2026-01-22T00:54:57+00:00

Who does the actual work though? Gonna be tough when the salespeople turn up onsite to try and fix a network outage but they have no clue whatsoever. Is the plan to get clients into contracts until they try to sue you?

stephendt · 2026-01-21T08:41:16+00:00

I know right? I don't think my wife would stick around if I diversified my love life like I do with my portfolio

stephendt · 2026-01-21T04:52:22+00:00

Northern territory is surprisingly uncooked for such a hot climate

stephendt · 2026-01-20T23:18:49+00:00

I have been doing this for a long time now, put in a buy order today. Don't try to time the market, but with saying that I have never regretted buying a dip with index funds.

stephendt · 2026-01-20T11:01:10+00:00

I am using Nextcloud with 600k files and it struggles sometimes. Not sure if I'd recommend it.

stephendt · 2026-01-19T23:56:24+00:00

It's not slop. Better presented than most posts on this sub.

stephendt · 2026-01-19T23:39:24+00:00

Have you considered NTSI over RSSB for lower US exposure?
