This is pretty much the best answer. Any stock broker who thinks that he can beat the index over any considerable period is loving stupid. i loving hate stock brokers, financial analysts, etc...

i had been holding some stock but it hit its apex earlier this year so i sold, made about $15K, would only be worth $10K at the price it's at today so i did alright

paid down some of my student loans, now i need to hold some for taxes but i was also considering hopping on robin hood and doing some trading, anyone used it yet? i just got an invite

i take slight umbrage at the suggestion that a 401k is equivalent to a rich capitalist's stock portfolio though. it is basically the null assumption of retirement investment, and won't bring you in any money you can spend until retirement age. it's still a good idea but it's nothing to brag about. if you don't have a 401k with at a bare minimum $100K in it by 25, just give up on living comfortably in your old age you gently caress up.

Proctor and Gamble own lots of TP brands, so if you own the stock you are indirectly investing in more TP.

Similar, but I go with an even split between domestic large cap, domestic small cap, domestic real estate, developing markets, and domestic bonds.

My workplace has Fidelity brokerage link so Vanguard ETFs aren't commission free but ishare equities are commission free.


The three ETF portfolio idea is a good keep simple stupid investment concept but I would add a small amount of REIT ETFs for diversification/high fixed yield.
