Thanks for the recs. I hang out in combat footage so I've seen a lot of these guys on Twitter but a few I haven't. I watch perun regularly and I do take mcbeth as I take any source, with a dose of pragmatic skepticism. Mcbeth has a job to self promote AKA act on the news and his predictions or takes on things get it wrong sometimes but overall he's a decent guy who tries his best. The same for the other guys I mention, always do your due diligence haha. But when everyone is saying the situation in the straits is rough and immediate help is not on the horizon unless Iran surrenders or they actually manage to get serious about massive naval convoys I don't see it getting better.

DelphiTsar

>growing at a healthy rate You are projecting future growth based off of previous growth. I am a Google fanboy but to give perspective. The recent surge in google's net income is -Cost cutting through firing 12,000 employees.(Non replicateable) -Making their operation more efficient.(Non replicateable) -Claiming unrealized gains on equity securities AKA AI companies they invested in increasing in value. This is around ~50% of the increase alone. (AI Bubble) -~30% was from cloud growth/advertising increases. While this is good/real growth, it's susceptible to market declines and the idea they can replicate the growth is iffy. When the market loses faith in AI the 50% of their net profit that was from AI companies they invested in growing in value not only doesn't repeat, it goes the other way. Triggers a recession and hits their advertising revenue. They already cost cut, it's unlikely they have much wiggle room. I am also an AI fan, but the valuations aren't real.

dasunt

Yes and no. I know my city had a problem with developers sitting on empty lots, because no buildings meant lower property taxes. One could easily argue density lowers infrastructure costs, since less infrastructure is needed to service the same amount of people. So encouraging those who don't build while penalizing those who do is not productive. Instead they usually advocate some variation of a land value tax (LVT). AKA, Georgism, although the idea goes back farther than that (Adam Smith basically advocated the same). That would result in likely higher tax rates, since land value is less than land + building value. But the result would likely be empty lots paying more taxes, and lots with buildings paying less taxes. Higher densities would be encouraged in high cost areas. One could find some potential disadvantages as well, since land by cities would be encouraged to develop due to the LVT, which could easily encourage the type of sprawl that costs more in infrastructure. So it ain't perfect.

EnCroissantEndgame

Except that, if you collected starting at 62, by 70 you will have $136.7k base assets to start from that the 70 year old **does not have**. The 70 year old **starts from zero**. This is a gigantic disadvantage to the person waiting until 70, because check this: If you let those lower $1424 payments just keep accumulating into a Cash Management Account at Fidelity that automatically holds the money in a way that is completely liquid for the owner (with autoredemptions when withdrawn or spent) it will be invested in SPAXX collecting coupons on short term government treasuries, AKA close to the "risk free rate" (at least for now while American debt is considered risk free) you'll earn whatever the current Fed funds rate is minus a quarter point for the convenience being fully liquid; or if you want the full yield of government treasuries you can have them deposited into a vanilla brokerage anywhere (Schwab, Vanguard, Fidelity etc.) (or even use the aforementioned CMA) where you can create auto-investment rules to automatically buy as many shares as possible of SGOV or something similar to get close to the full Fed funds rate each month and then also have those dividends for the coupon payments re-invested. We don't know ow what the fed funds rate will be next year let alone 5 or 8 years forward, but we know it's probably going to be between 0% and 10%, with a great deal of that probability density likely hanging between 1% and 5% to fulfill the Fed mandate on employment and inflation. Right now its 3.66%, lets just make it simple and make an educated guess that the average rate over that period is about 3% yearly, roughly 0.25% per month. So you can compute the total return for each months worth of investment as a mathematical series summing up the compounding return for each months return over `n` months with a growth (return) rate of `r` where `1+r` is the factor by which the individual deposits of `x` currency units grow (or decay if `r` is negative) each month. It contains `n` separate terms in the sum computing each return as a lump sum deposit left to grow on its own for each month. If you simplify that expression, we can write in in the form: T = x \[(1+r)^(n) \- 1\] / r Just notice for this simplified expression r=0 results in 0 divided by zero which is indeterminate but it turns out that the left and right side limits as r approaches zero yield a limit of T = x \* n and for n=96, x=1424, that would be exactly the $136.7k figure prior if we have zero growth. But we won't likely have zero growth, in specifically in the case that the CAGR for the 8 years works out to 0.25% per month, T = 1424 \* (1.0025^(96) \- 1) / 0.0025 = $154286.68, so over that time period we've actually earned $17.6k without taking any risk just holding 4 week treasuries when getting to 70 years old. So your figure of \~40k is already missing $17.6k which still has another 20 years to grow. In reality there's no need to be in such an ultraconservative allocation as only short term treasuries. A 60/40 US stocks / US bonds allocation is pretty standard retirement portfolio that keeps most of the driver of portfolio growth while smoothing out risk from crashes, at least traditionally, and it has one of the best risk adjusted returns easily implementable by average people. In the [past 150 years the 60/40 portfolio](https://www.morningstar.com/economy/6040-portfolio-150-year-markets-stress-test) has had 11 bear markets and has performed much better during those periods than the 100% equity portfolio while delivering a way better return than a full bond portfolio (bonds undergo bear markets infrequently compared to stocks so they are generally considered "safer" we we only care about retaining nominal purchasing power). Over that 150 year period $1 invested in a 60/40 portfolio grew -- in real terms -- by 440,700% to $4408, much less than the 3,551,700% growth ($1 becoming $35518) in a 100% equity portfolio. If we take the 150th root of the first percentage, we get the CAGR of the 60/40 portfolio 1.0575 or 5.75% annualized, which is great for a nominal rate let alone a real rate for the downside protection. The 100% equity will return is a CAGR of 1.0723, or 7.23% annualized. So using the expression for T I showed earlier, we convert the annualized return to a monthly return: 1.0575\^(1/12)=1.00467, 0.467% per month. We have a fairly safe way to earn 5.75 real return and get 1424\*\[(1.00467)\^96-1\] / 0.00467=$172k. In 8 years we've generated 75 months worth of the higher payments we'd get by waiting until 70, while simultaneously starting 70 with $172k more wealth than we'd have if we waited. Do you see objectively how you can never make an argument to wait unless you're so bad with money that you know you're going to gamble it all on horse races and buy drugs with it?

Low_Composer_5009

1.) Yeah, that happens. Stocks, and crypto are very volatile compared to other forms of investing. So NEVER use them as an emergency fund, savings for a down payment, or anything else where you would NEED the money at any moment. Only use it for really long term investments, like retirement. 2.) You probably bought something niche. You should prioritize Indexes (baskets of stocks). That way, if one company crashes, it's only 1% of your money. But lets say you buy a full share, like APPL, and APPL crashes, then 100% of you money crashes. 3.) With that little bit invested, you should be getting ETFs and not shares. ETFs are exchangeable trading funds, and they're basically a way you can get a portion of an expensive stock. So, instead of buying penny stocks, you can buy 5% of an SPY stock. Much better and much safer. (SPY is the S&P 5000, and tracks many of the biggest companies. AKA, it's an Index Fund). So, for you advice on where you should put you money first. 1.) Start by putting money into somewhere save like a HYSA, that way if something happens and you NEED money, you have money. 2.) Then start putting money into ETF Indexes, a quick google search can get you a list of them. Some people like domestic Indexes, some people like International. I see a lot of 70/30 (70% domestic, 30% international). But I personally prefer 80/20. That's entirely up to you and usually isn't going to be a life-changing decision.

The last time QQQ spent more than 2 days under the 100 MA was that massive pullback from February into April last year. Also, higher highs and lower lows, AKA broadening top. Usually bearish.

As a historian, that's not really true. For most of history, silver was the dominant Eurasian currency. Gold's value was measured in silver, like we measure it in dollars today & it was used mostly to cut wealth transport costs between major actors (institutions or high net worth individuals), being no more an everyday currency than it is now. Heck, Judas Iscariot was famously paid in 30 pieces of SILVER. AKA, the main international currency. In the American Revolutionary War, it was Spanish pesos (silver) that France and Spain gave us to prop up our war efforts. Because gold wasn't real money. Silver was.

Emperor_of_All

Well it is a start to asking more questions. So basics of business which as you have one yourself, so I am sure you ask yourself these questions, so the questions are the same for the market. So at you $100 a month, how much does it cost my business to make that $100 a month, how long will it take me to recover the initial investment vs the net margin it takes to make each $100 dollars AKA ROI. How long will it take me to become profitable. Where is my demand of elasticity and where are my bottle necks. What is the cost of customer acquisition. The questions go on and on. The biggest problem is that people have no answer to any of these questions. More over we are told that we need to invest more money in so that we can sell a better product to you. The only ones who can answer the question of is it a bubble is companies running the AI companies and then the investors who decide if it is worth the investment and time frame. I am glad it is working out for you and that you are getting millions of revenue off a 100 dollars a month but that is ultimately only 100 dollars in revenue to an AI company. The millions you stand to make goes into your pocket not the AI company pockets. The bigger question would be how much more would you pay to continue to generate the money for your business and how many companies are like yours and how can AI companies exploit them to make their investment back.
