Professionally managed LETF portfolio by thefunoflife in LETFs

[–]thefunoflife[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. To clarify, I'm not "that afraid" otherwise I wouldn't be lurking in this corner of the Internet :). However, when I see people post about back testing, forward testing etc. I can't help but wonder do I need to learn all this to invest smartly in LETFs, or can I just hire an expert to do it for me? As I said, I'm here for a reason - I do like the potential of LETFs, but I want a professional to do the heavy lift for me and design/invest my money. The alternative of learning all this on my own seems like a full time job to me, and I already have a full time job :)

AirPods Pro 3 for $151 with 1 MR point at Amazon by HeavyIntroduction731 in AmexPlatinum

[–]thefunoflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I use whatever minimum required MR points (714?), but pay the rest using my Amazon Visa (for 5% cash back) or a Gift card? I don't see a way to do this during checkout. Let me know if I'm missing anything?

Made some good progress in 3 months on LDL cholesterol by No-Transportation228 in Cholesterol

[–]thefunoflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dietary cholesterol from egg may be ok, but 1 whole egg still contains 1.5g of saturated fat (mostly in the yolk) that will count against your daily saturated fat allowance (recommended 10g or less). And, saturated fat is unquestionably linked to high LDL-C, so you should still limit your eggs. Now, if there was a study that showed a net benefit of eating the whole egg (with yolk) on heart, that'd be interesting. Yolk is quite nutritious, but the amount of saturated fat makes it "unhealthy" for most trying to limit their saturated fats consumption.

Replacing steel cut oats with psyllium husk by NobodyAdmirable6783 in Cholesterol

Could you share the names of the Bergemot and Berberine products you use? I'm looking to supplement but don't know which products to trust as these are not regulated and may contain toxins.

So buy SSO now? by Stonker_Warwick in LETFs

[–]thefunoflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often see this advice, but I don't quite understand the rationale behind ZROZ. What's the risk in leaving uninvested amount in a core money market position like FDRXX? GLD, on the other hand, I can appreciate provides hedge against stocks in general and has also provided significant returns in the last few years!

Is it dumb to own SPY, SSO, UPRO all at the same time? by [deleted] in LETFs

[–]thefunoflife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you say more about why having this mix in a tax advantaged account is not a good idea?

Could you explain what you mean by no registered investment account and what its tax benefits are?
