Buying anything? Like when you talk about wanting to buy a coffee or something?

I like index funds because I don't have to deal with a pushy hotshot broker type

I got one from some investing thread on the Something Awful dot com forums in 2013 apparently. I wanted to put some money away and not look at it for 20 years. It's been 2 years and so far I've made (as of today) $2,360.98 which is a 10.3% return. It was over $1,700 ($4,074.69) higher just one month ago but the crazy poo poo that's going recently so whatever. Not bad for doing a few days worth of research and sitting on my rear end with my laptop and giving someone some money. I'm lazy though. No clue how this has anything to do with fedoras though.

No poo poo, but this is a risk vs. reward type thing. The entire stock market is. Everyone thinks they'll be investing in the next Microsoft or Apple or something and be rich. No you won't. Individual stocks, or at least start ups, is like playing the lottery. You will lose. Guaranteed. Sure you can invest in companies that are pretty stable and have been in business forever like Walgreens or something, but then UR A GIANT PUZZY FOR PLAYING IT SAFE WITH A STABLE INDIVIDUAL STOCK. Risk vs. reward. I have a low risk, and I will have a lower but almost guaranteed constant reward unless the country completely collapses. I'm in this for the long haul bitches. (I doubt I'll live past 50 though but whatever) This is dumb. If you want to be a day trader then go ahead and sit at your computer and think you're a badass and listen to Jim Cramer's crazy rear end while you lose all of your money as he has led so many people to do. Like my super republican brother has done a few times. Unrelated, his staffing company is also going under now. He has a family of 4. As volatile as his mind is he probably blames the president or anyone besides his own incompetence.

I invested money in Disney shortly before they announced their acquisition of marvel and Star Wars so that pretty much makes me a superstar; feel free to ask me anything I am really good at stocks.
