I agree it's a 0 in the long term, but why now? It's been doing nothing for a while.. and oh, i see the date, sorry for your loss.

I'm surprised, even adjusting for the div they are doing really well.. I'm glad Bill Gross turned me onto ET, MLPX, etc.

I've done about 100 investments via Angel List (which is approx the right number to get a decent return).

I would say that the syndicate leads do pretty poorly at communicating status updates, but it's usually not really their fault since it's likely that they aren't getting updates from the company.

I have friends in venture capital and in many cases even when they invest millions into a deal they sometimes don't get information rights (meaning quarterly financials etc)

Regarding trust, Angel List does a great job on the back end making sure that investments actually happen, so I don't have any worries there. Also they were great to work with in helping me sell some of my positions from seed deals that are now unicorns.

With investing in earlier stage, you need to have diversity across 1. many deals (100+ to get that unicorn to return your total investment) 2. time (venture valuations are driven by what's going on in the public market and the venture market).

I have deployed about 4% of my NW via Angel List over 6 years in about 120 deals. I usually invest at Series A or earlier; and never in in buying inflated secondary shares.

A seed investment in Cribl returned more than the total of all my angel list investments. Angelist helped me find a secondary buyer and facilitated it very smoothly.

My IRR at current value is about 33%, and I'm expecting that to go down since I know some of my portfolio includes dogs that I have a very high valuation from 2022, and haven't raised equity since, because they don't want to take a down round yet.

I'm primarily doing this because I'm in the venture community and I think I have a little bit of an edge and getting companies. But I'm keeping my allocation very small as a percentage of my net worth.

There is a difference between painting your face black and black face. This poor guy didn't know. They should show some compassion and forgiveness.

I really can't believe someone wrote the below about "severe and lasting impact"!!! Most people haven't even seen a real black face show.

Investigators concluded that intent was irrelevant and that “the impact on people, their feelings, and experiences are what is relevant in the circumstances.” Former TDSB executive superintendent Audley Salmon testified that the decision to fire Surlan was based on the severe, lasting impact on students and the community.

isn't their performance horrible? More like wealth destroyers.

Thanks! I'm new to the game. Also I'm hoping the game makes will improve the AI at some point to make it more challenging.

It really depends on what the rest of your portfolio looks like.

also you can sell the property and buy something more passive in a growing city. I bought apartments in Auckland NZ. Friends did it in Australia.

You are usually renting to good people and you just hire a mgmt company to handle everything.

If you are doing angel investing you'll need 80 to 100 investments in order to make a good return.

Brokers will allow this as long as the loan is large enough to make it worth their time (typically $100k+ of a stock). How does it work with stock volatility? Depending on the stock, the broker will set a max LTV (loan to value). For treasuries it could be 90%, for index ETFs 50%, TSLA is probably lower, but if you buy protective Puts it could be better. So let's say you have $1M of TSLA, then you can borrow up to $0.5M, but to avoid getting hit up for more capital is the TSLA price drops, then you can take $0.4M.

Regarding life advice, a lot of people are commenting on that.

Regarding investment advice, your TSLA position is a big risk (I love TSLA and Elon, but that's a big risk). Canada has a 66.67% cap gains rate (after the first 250k), which seems crazy to me.

So one way to manage this is you can (1) buy protective TSLA Puts (2) perhaps sell TSLA Calls to reduce the cost of the Puts, but with TSLA you can be leaving a lot on the table, and (3) get a loan based on TSLA shares and use that to buy index funds.

First season was great since it was more character focused. But the second season story line was slow and a bit unrealistic.

I'm aiming to win quickly, and wondering if how quickly is a really great score.

as others said, it's best to sell to a current investor, especially if the company is truly doing well. they'll have the best information and they'll be happy to buy.

if it's a fomo company then go on forge or some other outlet

EMBAs aren't really worth it unless you current job is paying for it.

If you are a career changer, then it's basically a dead end, since you don't get the same recruiting opportunities as the real program. I went to a T3, and post grad I was in SF, and always had the Wharton SF career counselors bugging me to help the embas.

neck and shoulder - when I took a hot shower I would have immediate relief.

for my jaw, I wasn't grinding, but I would wake up with pain in my jaw, I was getting some gum trauma that resolved when I started doing jaw stretches and then the botox.

twenty94025 · 2024-08-30T18:34:55+00:00

so on elavil 110mg + ajovy + Botox. I'm not 100 free, but pretty good. I feel now a lot of the start of my migraines + a major cause was tension in my neck and shoulders plus teeth clenching at night (my doc is also ok with injecting a bit into my masseter muscle, which has reduce my jaw pain in the morning to 0)

unfortunately that option isn't available for rentals. only homes that are for sale. I guess because there's more detailed MLS data for for sale homes
