good, then if you still have a job you buy cheap rear end stock in companies that will stick around through the recession. my boss bought a shitload of cheap ford stock in 2008 and he's feeling pretty smug about it now.

yeah if you are looking to invest for retirement, don't try to be a STOCK WHIZZARD and pick individual stocks

go for index funds

your broker will try to woo you with TARGETED RETIREMENT FUNDS that are all "if you are going to retire in 2065 pick this fund" but those funds have huge fees

stick to an index fund, they have the lowest fees of anything because they are managed by computers :awesomelon:

seriouspost, this is true and it's going to be awesome "butbut my DISURPTIVE TECHNOLOGY!". companies like google and apple will be fine since they actually produce a lot of hardware and technology that isn't just illusive "advertising delivery".

you know financial retards have no idea what the gently caress they're doing when WHATSAPP is "worth $19 billion" and Twitter is worth $30 billion, but they're still hemorrhaging money (and have been since day 1) and banking on "marketing/advertisement" to eventually carry them but it's not going to happen. if it was any other industry, that poo poo would have been out of business by now.

hot tip never buy something new unless you must. Even better buy nothing and don't care if you're eating 3 day old food in second hand clothes. even better if you have to wear a uniform then what you wear never matters cause it just gets covered up.

Start a cut-rate financial advising service where you just tell everyone to invest in social media gimmick startups, you still won't have retirement savings but if you wind up less poor than everyone around you that's sorta like being rich.

vanguard is the most pro option due to the rock bottom expense ratios.

ETFs also have better tax efficiency than mutual funds.

Very cool (for a nerd like me). I'm going to start off with the ETF version of the Vanguard total stock market fund (VTI).
