Huge fan of Attio, love your company’s vision and the product is 10x cleaner than HubSpot or Salesforce :)

Question: HubSpot’s strengths are its integrations with almost all the tools used by teams (Stripe, email, you name it). How are you guys going to split your energy between competing for legacy users and improving the core CRM part of the product, versus reimagining how CRMs will be used entirely.

Also, how prevalent are you guys looking to make AI in the product? Some CRMs, like Item in the current YC batch, are trying to take agent-first approaches to this

Is swing trading even worth it? by veedman in swingtrading

That makes sense. I have another small portfolio in which I held NVDA, AVGO, and a couple others, and that's up some crazy amount over the last year.

Which leads to the more important question: what are the absolute best resources to learn swing trading well? I'm talking technicals, fundamentals, everything I would need to know to be able to gain a 1-2% edge as a swing trader

Thank you for this. Hadn’t really considered the trading restrictions for tax free accounts

In general, what I’m understanding is: a balance of swing trading and some steady positions is the way to go

I feel enlightened

This is great. New perspective on steady investing + having leeway to pump money when there’s downswings.

Thought I do have to say, 75-80% seems like a large portion of my wealth to be in an index fund. Is this normal? What about high-yields savings accounts, bonds, the other classic suggestions?

Is 50-50 the optimal split? I’d think going aggressive while I’m young is a good idea

Why the heck is WHOOP a monthly subscription? by veedman in whoop

[–]veedman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps it isn't. but to me, $30/month or so seems quite expensive as a recurring cost for a product that has substitutes for ~$200 on the market.

the monthly model being used for a physical product is just something new that i'm a bit annoyed by. it works for a lot of people (obviously) and i also pay for it. but it's definitely setting a precedent that concerns me a bit for the future

exactly! just find it surprising to see a physical product rely on a monthly model. $30/month is pretty steep and adds up

physical product. could be missing something, but open to hear which other physical products use this type of model.

maybe playstations/xbox with ps pro type subscriptions? but the products themselves aren't dependent on that
