I'm a young investor in my 20's with a long horizon, but I am making no changes and am okay with my current AA Let's say you get out of your S&P index nd the market has a fairly large correction, then you get back in when you think it's over. Then another correction happens. When do you get back...

I'd just watch charging infrastructure. When a supermajority of apartments have EV plugs, then I'd start worrying.

I simply do not know. I was wrong on at predicting the market's behavior in 2020, as were many. I am glad I'm a passive index type investor, as if I was active, I would have made the wrong decisions on when to get back in. It probably wouldn't have been the (march 23 i think) low. More like May or J...

In my opinion (and it is just that), a broker is required by law to provide Best Execution to clients. [/b] It doesn't say provide Best Execution so long as you don't lose money. That's only if they allow you to place the trade. There isn't any law requiring them to allow you to place a trade. You ...

Friends, I usually check in to the forum a couple times each week to see what's new. Usually it's some new post concerning how much international to hold or where to buy the cheapest pair of eyeglasses. As much as those repeating topics irritated me because the answers are always the same, it was c...

Stop wasting valuable time with obsolete worthless IT gear. Invest in an up to date new computer and new monitor and you will be set for several years. Yup, just hoping to wipe thus thing before disposing of it. It you want to wipe the computer, a program called DBAN, wipes conventional hard drives...

Believe it or not I didn't even really check my account in march. I'm in my 20's and have a relatively small IRA and 401K however. But yeah remained rational. If anything, it was a good test of my personal risk tolerance. Happy with my 100% equity portfolio, 30% international.

My father is along time customer of them so that's how I got started. I have accounts there and at Schwab(401K and a second IRA) and Schwab isn't any better for what I do. That said Vanguard doesn't seem to cater to people wanting to "dip their toe in" with rather high minimums for most a...

24.

100% stocks(Am trying the HEDGEFUNDIE at around 5% of total assets, but I'll call that stock)

70% US, 30 INT. Market weights or as close as possible considering my limited 401K funds.

I know its already been said but as long as its from the 21st century and has working ABS and Airbags, you should be fine. It's more about the lack of attention to driving than the actual car. And no, even the new cars with systems to detect distraction can be turned off for the most part. I'd just ...

I just used quick strut assemblies, no disassembly required. I'd never buy the normal ones.

My mechanic recommended replacing rear shocks and front lower control arms for my 2013 VW which has only 50k miles. He said the bushings of the control arms are cracked a bit but no safety issue at this moment. Replacing the front lower control arms alone costs $800+ so I'm hesitant to do it now :o...

My son's Volvo has a light that comes on when you are following too close (it's an adjust able setting) to the vehicle in front of you. Do you know what other car makes offer this feature? From a quick Google search, it looks like Volvo has it and calls it Distance Alert. Mercedes calls theirs Dist...

The only issue I had was getting locked out of my account because I don't check it much. The rep on the other end was very helpful and it was resolved.

I have since modified my password practices.

Edit: I also don't agree with their ban on 3x products.

Left Norton behind long ago. Windows defender AND Malwarebytes free. Scan your computer manually once a month, avoid risky sites.

I do relatively high virus risk activities and I haven't gotten infected yet.

Not talking down to 135 pilots, but they go to unfamiliar airports, have less direct FAA oversight, and usually have less legal and training requirements. Part 91 would be cheap. This often feels like the wild west! PP - ASEL / Cessna 150 If I was going to own a plane it would be a experimental thr...

Make sure you aren’t swapping one obvious low risk (COVID) for a less obvious risk, netting out to more risk. Smaller planes have a much higher accident rate. Google around. That’s why you charter from a reputable part 135 operator. I apologize for my ignorance, but am I correct in assuming that I ...

I'm very young(24) and just wanted to respond to this article as a 105% ish Stock investor. Point #1: I actually am slightly leveraged(indirect). in the HEDGEFUNDIE strategy and considering some PSLDX. Not sure how this is a reason against 100% stocks, its just a continuation of the idea that you ca...

I'd not recommend CX-9. I bought a new CX-9 2011 and engine failed (after an internal water pump leak, engine light came on and after 5 mins car stopped) this happened just after the manufacturer warranty expired. Ouch!

Honestly why luxury? I drove 15+ year old car with crank windows and no safety features and have a 20' Mazda 3 with AWD now. My job also Involves a few times a week but not 9-5 long distance car travel. My new car is "luxury" enough, for me at least compared to where I came from. Why spend...

Tires. I know many advocate for good tires, but its always worth repeating. How does one know that a tire is “good”? I usually use a aggregate of tire rack reviews, YouTube reviews, brand reputation(Michelin vs the cheapest brand at walmart) and price. I may also poke around auto forum's like Bob i...

If audio books count, The Stand by Stephen King. Picked it up in the spring and listen to it when I drive sometimes. Interesting book, not what I expected, first novel of his I've looked at. To summarize, starts out as the typical apocalypse plot, but gets into the human condition and the supernatur...

I'd say small gains as well. Market is forward thinking, multiple vaccines are underway, and one of them will likely be approved.

Avoiding politics as much as I can, I also increasingly don't think a vaccine will change the current situation in the US overnight anyway.

Eh, I can see it's benefits, but coming from a older car that didn't have it anyway (06') to a (20') model, I decided that $330 USD was too much for getting a second set of sensors for my winter tires, where I usually drive slower anyway due to snow. I got the tires for free and the 4 extra rims fo...

A working TPMS is an important and critical vehicle safety system. If your system is indicating a fault or a simple battery dead sensor get it repaired. Picking up a large nail at highway speed in traffic in the middle of a 5 mile long causeway bridge, like I did 2 weeks ago in our SUV, can be very...

4. Now the car can read analog speed signs, which helps, but it still can't read digital speed signs... Sorry but I must ask. What's an analog speed sign? I imagine it must say something like "go kind of slow-ish around here" or "pretty fast compared to what you just did." I thi...

I have 5% "Play Money" but it is in the HEDGEFUNDIE 3x strategy not stocks. Looking at things like the NKLA news and other stocks that have fallen from grace, I think a individual stock is too risky. Personally once you are 100% equity, I'd rather leverage, and still have diversification.

No security, regardless of airport. You will go through customs in some form internationally though. Netjets, Jetlinx, Wheels up, Xojet are all companies I've heard of but have not flown on personally(In the front or back). There's a reason most people don't do this however. The cost will far exceed...

Personal experience, I didn't notice any effects for over 10 years on previous car(It was a family hand me down so I know the history) and the manual didn't say to change it.

I have a Roborock E25($200). Has extremely good inertial navigation(Not random), and preforms well. Works upstairs in our house even if there is some mess in the hallway. Has a mop attachment but I don't use it. Cons: The company is Chinese so data privacy or the Chinese government mapping your house.
