Ford�s sync system is far superior to almost all other manufacturer�s systems. I have no clue what you guys are talking about. I used to travel for work and rented different cars weekly.

I still believe it was a Robinhood liquidity issue after Apex raised the capital requirement from 3% -> 100%. It sucks and it definitely let the shorts out the escape hatch but I don't think there was collusion.

Are you saying raising the capital requirement from 3% -> 100% was cool and normal? Maybe I misunderstood your post.

Yeah I, I'm dumb and forgot 401Ks are Vanguard, not Hedge funds.

Edit:

Even Ted Benna has called the 401K a monster that should be blown up.

Your last several posts make absolutely zero sense and I hope no one listens to you.

Mutual funds are something you would invest in inside a brokerage account, including but not limited to an IRA or 401k. Most company-sponsored IRAs and 401ks offer employees a limited menu of mutual funds from which to choose, so the topics overlap a lot.

Mutual funds by and large drag behind index funds in terms of performance, especially when you factor in fees, taxes, and fund managers (this claim has been thoroughly backtested). There are a few that outperform the S&P 500, but they tend to be temporary highs followed by microscopic or negative returns. Again, indexes reign supreme.

The Bogleheads website breaks down some good three-fund portfolios based on which brokerage you use. Do not (DO NOT) pay fees to, say, buy Vanguard mutual funds from Fidelity.

Generally speaking, ETFs can act as a tax-efficient substitute for a mutual fund if you are using a taxable account (many are fee-free between companies, too). For example, if you use Fidelity you might hold Fidelity index funds FSKAX / FTIHX / FUAMX in your Roth IRA and Vanguard's ETFs VTI / VXUS in your taxable account. There are justifications and edge cases for this or that specific goal/strategy/circumstance, but these examples work for basic indexing.

Uh oh, that sounded like long-term advice. Hmmm... I swapped out Sundial for Trulieve. What better way to refresh the economy than to legalize pot just in time for the latest stimmy?

Why do their recommended three-fund portfolios have so much bond exposure? Why would anybody below 55 have more than 5% bond exposure?

Dunning krueger shows that though people can identify they aren't as good as jordan, jordan doesn't identify how much better he is than others. Not sure what you're trying to reference with the study or if you've read it.

No.

The Dunning�Kruger effect is a cognitive bias hypothesis that people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.

Ally Invest was solid during the gamestop fiasco too - they had some website problems but they provided workarounds when other platforms were straight up down - they also didn't limit my trading or mess with my ability to buy and sell

their app is not the best but they are legit brokerage and they haven't hosed me yet

They recently stopped accepting trailing stops. I�m not so hot on that decision.

No, you just use Fidelity to transfer in. Robinhood charges you if you use them to initiate an outward transfer. Just don�t use them to initiate poo poo.

"And not every time I did that, but I would say every third or fourth time, I would run into the Ark of the Covenant being taken into the Israelites, taking the Ark of the Covenant into battle before them, because they believed that the presence of God was in the Ark of the Covenant. As I began to get this idea of a firm going and realized that I was fighting this war, I knew I had to name my company “ARK” for Ark of the Covenant.

[...]

I funded it for the first three years all by myself. And for the first three years, our assets didn’t grow that much. And I thought, Oh my goodness, what have I done? Every two weeks there was an exit of a significant amount of my wealth into the company. And I would kneel down and say, “Okay, God, You’re in control. Even if this company fails, I know I’ve done the right thing. This is a walk of faith for me. Your will be done.” - Cathie Wood

What's everyone's thoughts on 3D printing stocks? I see that they shot up in January and are now falling, but looking it up I can't find out why. I always saw 3D printers as replacing many things in industrial manufacturing and for eventually being for consumer use.

What �things� do you see it replacing in industrial manufacturing? How is it an improvement on the current methods?

3D printing is excellent for making prototypes before companies fully commit to a product. It can also be useful for people printing various toys and items to sell for their small business instead of ordering stuff from say Alibaba. I can also see people using it for general consumer use as they can print replacement items for things that are lost or broken (the back clip of your tv remote) or just to print children's toys or small models to decorate their room.

Yes, but none of what you just said applies to scaling and industrial manufacturing

I've actually done very well buying equities on margin, though I think the caveat here is to have enough of a stable marginable stock (eg. AAPL) that you can tap that margin and not expect margin calls. I plan on using margin to buy poo poo tons of Roblox.

I've probably been doing terrible, risky, bad idea stuff but any mistakes I've made have been covered over by the constant bull market we've had.

How much margin and how long are you holding equities on margin? Did you factor in the interest you have to pay?

For anyone that's done an ACATS transfer, when you got your 1099-B the next year, did everything work out? I'm confused because I transferred from RH to Ally in December and Ally is showing me with a ton of realized gain on stocks that came over from RH, but they're showing the cost basis as $0 for the ones that came over. So it looks like I paid nothing to acquire them and sold them for many thousands of dollars. My RH 1099-B that I got for 2020 appears to be correct.

What gives?

Same thing happened when Ally acquired tradeking. I�ve just assumed it�s because they�re lovely.

Question for all you buying the dips (and not day trading) - where is the cash coming from? Are you squeezing your bank account and sending more cash to the brokerage? Why is the money you can afford to invest, not already invested, given time in the market is better than trying to time the market?

Full disclosure I am still a noob and am learning via flagrant gambling and brutal losses, with that being said...

On the topic of hedging, does anything exist that correlates stocks? I need to find a way to insirr the downside of positions a bit instead of just eating collapses. I'm not referring to stop losses, I'm referring to indexes/other stocks/whatever that inversely corellate to a given symbol.

This is a great way to expose yourself to perpetual slightly negative gains, IMO. You�re looking to pay someone to bet against you unless you�re looking to literally hedge, and that�s what options are for.
