Look for s&p 500 or total us stock market (VANG INST 500 IDX TR) Put 60% or 70% there. Then find total international (VANG TOT INT STK IDX) put 40% or 30% there. Both funds should be low fee/expense ratio. Less than .015% use morningstar for help researching. Congrats on having vanguard as investing choices. You may have to rebalance every few years to get back to your %'s. And add bonds as you get closer to retierment. VANG TOTAL BOND MKT
Instead of fake meat, invest in real beef production. More steak for everyone! * **Stocks:** Examples include major beef packers and food processors like Tyson Foods (TSN), or agricultural giants like Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM), which produces animal feed. Some regional beef producers may also trade publicly, such as BEEF (IDX:BEEF). * **ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds):** You can invest in ETFs that track agricultural commodities, including livestock. The Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) is one such option.
Is it stupid that my 401k is 100% tied to VANG INST 500 IDX TR
You could add 15% to SP MID CAP IDX CL F, and 5% to SP SMALL CP IND CL F. This gives you the entire US stock market. I don’t see many international funds, maybe see if there a brokerage option like the other comment mentioned. Non-US stocks make up 35% of the global market
Solid foundation with the S&P 500 For a 20-30 year timeline, I’d build a ‘barbell strategy’ using just three funds from your options: 1. SP 500 INDEX (50%)– Keeps your core large-cap exposure. 2. SP MID CAP IDX CL F (30%)– Mid-caps historically outperform long-term (+9.5% annualized vs. S&P’s 7.5% since 1992). This is your upside engine. 3. MGL SM CAP VAL INST (20%)– Small-cap value is the ultimate recession hedge (outperformed S&P by 18% during 2000-2002 and 2008 downturns*). Why this works: - Growth + Defense Mid-caps chase growth while small-cap value stabilizes volatility. - Automatic Rebalancing Your 401(k) contributions will naturally buy more of the underperforming assets over time (dollar-cost averaging on steroids). Pro tip: Set quarterly reminders to rebalance back to these ratios—it forces you to ‘buy low’ systematically. (Note: Avoid the ‘blue chip growth’ funds—they overlap heavily with your S&P 500 base and charge higher fees.)
You’re not gonna get direct access to IDX stocks like LPPF through most Western brokers, even IB. They don’t clear Indonesian equities for retail. You’d need a local broker licensed on the IDX (like Mirae Sekuritas or Mandiri Sekuritas) but yeah, withdrawal and language barriers can be a nightmare if shit goes sideways. If you’re dead set, look for one that offers proper English support and has ties to a major bank. Otherwise, you’re stuck with ETFs or ADRs - limited, but way safer than wiring money to a random Jakarta fintech and praying.
Start by working on changing the fact that you have "no clue wtf all that is." Teach yourself to fish rather than asking a crowd to donate fish. Yes, it takes some effort, and I agree that the abbreviated descriptions make it a bit harder than it should be. These are not stocks *per se*; they are mutual funds that contain different kinds of stocks. Vanguard, American Funds, Oakmark, and Dodge & Cox are the institutions that manage the funds. The first two are Vanguard index funds tracking S&P 500 (VINIX) and the total U.S. stock market (VITSX). You can just Google "VANGUARD INST IDX" for example, and this content will show up. You can then explore the fund's composition which tells you what's in it. The Equity Inc ADM (VEIRX) is a large cap value stock fund. I'll let you Google the rest. But you should choose based on your age. If you are young, pick one of the stock index funds at 100%. If you are older, hedge that with a portion of something more conservative.

I am modifying my 401k contributions and I noticed that the fund I invest in is called VANG INST 500 IDX TR. The damn thing is lagging days behind the market! Its last price is from 02/28/25 and its price is $253.41. What is this thing? Why didn’t it go down when the market crashed today?

I have 2 options, SS GACEQ EXUS IDX II or WT INTL OPPS 5. Guess I will do my research on them.
>For my 401k I can choose if I contribute pretax or roth. I picked roth because my tax bracket is 23% now and probably when I retire I will be in a higher bracket. I contribute 5% of my income as my employer matches up to 5%, dollar to dollar. That's pretty solid matching! Roth vs. traditional is mostly just a guessing game about whether your effective rate now is higher or lower than it'll be in retirement. I myself do traditional 401k/Roth IRA, but it's totally up to you (and both are good!). >The index available through fidelity with my employer is NT S&P 500 IDX NL 4. It has a 0.0135% exp ratio. I believe that is pretty good so I place 100% of my Roth 401k into this one. Yeah, anything sub 0.1 is very very good, that's extremely good. Some quick Googling suggests that's some slight variant of a Northern Trust S&P500 fund, should be fine. >Should I diversify more? If yes, what are good options? I don't want to be too risky as I am not very knowledgeable yet... What are the other investment options within your 401k? That will dictate (somewhat) whether it's worth diversifying more in your 401k. Generally, basic options to diversify from an S&P500 fund would be (i) a US "extended market" fund (the S&P500 is made-up of large US companies, an extended market fund will diversify you into smaller/mid-range companies), (ii) an "ex-US" global stock fund (to get you international diversification) and/or (iii) a bond index fund of some kind. Even if your other choices within your 401k are so-so, you could always open an IRA (or just a regular brokerage account) and invest in some or all of those other things in *that* account, creating an *overall* diversified retirement portfolio. >I do my 401k contribution, pay rent and living expenses and I don't know what to do with the leftover money every month. Just place it in a high yield savings account? Or invest in something else? I would like to buy a house in a few years so I don't want the money to not be accessible. One very big piece of advice is to maintain an 'emergency fund' for (as the name implies) emergency situations. That's usually something like 3-6 months of your normal monthly expenses, socked away in a HYSA or something like it. Only break glass in case of emergencies. After that, what to do with extra $$$$? A HYSA is a fine option, but you could certainly also invest via a brokerage or other tax-advantaged account (IRA? HSA, if available?). If you're saving that extra money for a house, probably stay away from the tax-advantaged accounts (as those tend to lock up your money: there are ways around it with IRAs but ehhhh). And, honestly, if you're hoping to buy in a few years, the stock market probably has too much short-term volatility to park down payment money there. So, if that's the goal, a HYSA or CD-type setting may be best.
First, thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything to me! For my 401k I can choose if I contribute pretax or roth. I picked roth because my tax bracket is 23% now and probably when I retire I will be in a higher bracket. I contribute 5% of my income as my employer matches up to 5%, dollar to dollar. The index available through fidelity with my employer is NT S&P 500 IDX NL 4. It has a 0.0135% exp ratio. I believe that is pretty good so I place 100% of my Roth 401k into this one. Should I diversify more? If yes, what are good options? I don't want to be too risky as I am not very knowledgeable yet... I do my 401k contribution, pay rent and living expenses and I don't know what to do with the leftover money every month. Just place it in a high yield savings account? Or invest in something else? I would like to buy a house in a few years so I don't want the money to not be accessible. Any thoughts on what I should do? Thank you again for helping me!
[https://finimize.com/content/jakarta-stocks-hit-record-highs-as-investors-bet-on-steady-growth](https://finimize.com/content/jakarta-stocks-hit-record-highs-as-investors-bet-on-steady-growth) it looks like IDX has a couple stocks that are down 99% and a couple others that are up 1500%. The index as a whole was down less than 1% yesterday. Do you mean your portfolio is crashing? The market seems fine
Chill, man. The IDX composite is down 0.8% today. That decrease in a day is pretty tame by stock market crash standards. If you had invested exactly one year ago, you would still be up 8.27%. If I were you, I'd diversify internationally and add some equities from other countries to your portfolio (i.e add something like VT etf). If you really think these protests will lead to extreme upheaval (government changing stuff) that will definitely crash your stocks, then yeah selling now would probably be the thing to do. But if you think the protests will blow over fairly quickly, just stay calm and continue to hold and DCA.
Many people here saying "buy the dip". Check out the performance of this Indonesia ETF: https://etfdb.com/etf/IDX/#performance It looks like the opposite of the SP500 (20 year view): ups, and downs, but generally a downward trend. Doesn't look like a winner, prima facie.

>No international index fund unless VG TL INTL BD IDX AD (VTABX) counts. No, I was referring to an international stock index fund, VTABX is a bond fund. >I plan to possibly roll my previous company 401k into an IRA but I haven’t checked how the are performing yet You may want to research rolling over the previous 401k into your 403b (if your employer's plan allows it). This will keep the door open to a backdoor Roth IRA if you ever need to go that route. [Rollovers wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/retirementaccounts/rollovers/) Also learn the difference between a direct rollover and indirect rollover and why a direct rollover is the preferred method if you ever decide to complete a rollover.
I started recently in this company so I won’t be vested in pension until 5 years in. I plan to retire with this company but who knows what the future holds. So I’m not 100% relying on the pension just yet. No international index fund unless VG TL INTL BD IDX AD (VTABX) counts. I plan to possibly roll my previous company 401k into an IRA but I haven’t checked how the are performing yet Also no option for 457b
Side note: Do you have the option for a traditional 457b instead of the 403b? The traditional 457b (not the Roth 457b) pairs nicely with a pension if early retirement is a possibility, withdraws can be made as soon as you leave your employer regardless of age. The expense ratio of TRPNX is average, not great but not terrible either (compared to others with expense ratios above 1%). Just making sure, you do not have an international index fund? If not, I would just approximate a total u.s. market index fund inside the 401k: [https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Approximating\_total\_stock\_market](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Approximating_total_stock_market) If I was in your shoes I would do: 85% VANGUARD INST INDEX (VINIX) 15% VANG SM CAP IDX ADM (VSMAX) Normally I do like target date funds for a 'set it and forget it' option but since you have a pension, you can allocate your 401k into a 100% stock portfolio and consider the pension as a substitute for bonds. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/o9ovlq/using\_pension\_as\_bonds/

Listen to taplar, this is solid advice. You want to minimize fees (expense ratio) and index funds (IDX) are a great way to do that. A 1% fee can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost returns or 5-10 years of retirement income. Taplar linked to you a specific area of bogleheads, here’s a broader overview. Look at the getting started and learn about this stuff. You will thank yourself later. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page
The general advice would be to start with the "STATE STREET S&P 500 IDX CL K" offering. If you're wanting to do a bogle style portfolio you could go with * STATE STREET S&P 500 IDX CL K * STATE STREET INTERNATIONAL IDX * STATE STREET U.S. BOND INDEX Whether or not you should change your investments is entirely up to you.
It’s in the Vanguard INST 500 IDX TR. When I look at my account activity, I only see the contributions to my 401k. I’m not filtering on anything specific.
What about large cap stock investments, like Fidelity Blue Chip, IDX Prem, Growth Co.? Do people tend to diversify into those?

I've been maxing out and frontloading my 401k for after-tax conversion to Roth and also directly to Roth 401k since the start of 2017. But I noticed my fund (BTC LPATH IDX 2060 M) has really only given me 2.87% return in all this time if I go to 401k Plan > Positions > Account Total % Total Gain/Loss. This seems like a bad rate... what am I doing wrong/should I change? I am 30M.
A standard Modern Portfolio Theory style portfolio would be roughly 70-80% US stocks, and 20-30 Foreign stocks. With that being said the standards and averages have heavily shifted in the last 2-3 decades with the FANG and hypergrowth stocks. If you expect the US to continue innovating and being a global leader you can always go 100% US, but MPT would tell us the best risk-adjusted return is somewhere around 75% US (FID 500) and 25% foreign (INTL IDX)

THD iShares Thailand ETF So iShares Thailand (THD), and ETF that holds the 30 or so biggest equities in the country is still down -23% from pre-covid levels. The main reason is just that covid hit so hard and the country was essentially in a total lock-down for the past 12 months. Prior to Covid, tourism was about 23% of the Thai economy and it has been really dead for all of 2021-2022 so far. Comparing to similar countries in SE.Asia, (EWM) Malaysia is -20%; (VNM) Vietnam is -7% and (IDX) Indonesia is -11%. All of those countries have smaller tourism sectors as a proportion of their entire GDP. The big news, in addition to the Thai government dropping all quarantine rules for incoming travelers about a month ago, is that they legalized weed 2 weeks ago - and not the fake stuff. Traffic congestion gets worse each week, and the airport has returned back to its disastrous state of under capacity. In other words, the hordes are coming back in a big way, and now there are weed shops every couple streets. Additionally, the ETF is really well diversified across tourism, retail, basic materials, oil, medical tourism, and some real estate and financials. The country has essentially just woke up from a 12-18 month long hibernation and there is tons of fresh money coming in on every flight. Hotel rates have 2x-3x, spas/whatever are booked for weeks. It will be a long play but if you wanna look outside of the US or Europe, this one can’t fail opposite its neighbors in Asia. And there is no uncertainty about the validity of the markets. Also a new Bangkok governor is shaking things up so there is a lot of optimism in the city (which is nearly 50% of the GDP production with less than 25% of the population) No pre-travel covid pass required. Only #COVID19 vaccination proof or neg. test required. No masks outdoor. The Thai Baht is weak — export economy & cheaper to visit.

I know exactly what that is. So here is the thing, [https://www.google.com/search?q=spoofing+the+limit+book&oq=spoofing](https://www.google.com/search?q=spoofing+the+limit+book&oq=spoofing&) Basically traders, often bots that are much faster than you place and cancel orders into the book all day long. The Michael Lewis book "Flash Boys" is about just this topic. Those guys actually run the IDX data feed. The limit book is useful if you can reverse engineer where the real prices are. Also seeing actual trades that happen and their volume is pretty useful. I watch the limit book, and there will be bids for 2800 of something, then price moves up and i see that a trade of only 100 units actually happened. These bots will often drift back down to your price level, but limit spoofing is a very real problem.

I only have 4 names to share since I own only 5 stocks and one isn't a long-term hold. In order of conviction: 1. ROKU: More households cutting the cable cord should continue to support active accounts, especially internationally + advertising $$$ shifting from linear to streaming. I have a $420 - $500 price target 2. IDXX: Don't confuse this with IDX being pumped from Wall Street Bets. This is a better stock that does diagnostics for pets. Continued innovation in animal Healthcare + more people owning pets + people caring more for their pets = more tests for pets. $745 price target 3. ZTS: Another solid animal health stock, #1 in animal pharmaceuticals. Although it's my #1 best-performing stock, lower on the list because it's more mature at almost a $100b market cap. 4. TTWO: Best-in-breed video game developer best positioned to benefit from Xbox Series X/PS5 console cycle due to higher mix of console revenue + the metaverse since they have proven open-world intellectual property like GTA and Red Dead Redemption. My price target is only $175, but it can go higher depending on news about the pipeline and personally believe this is my #1 upside stock, but with higher risk.
Help me balance my portfolio? * I am 50 years old and live in Southern California. * I am currently employed making $50k and not currently contributing to my retirement accounts.

My grandmother is 101 and still alive and my parents are both in their late 70s so I need as much as I can get. :) * As far as risk tolerance goes, my general personality is "no guts, no glory" but my retirement accounts really took an ass-beating in 2007-9 so I'm a little gun-shy. * I don't have any debt (no student loans, no car loan). I don't own my home so my biggest expense is San Diego rent.

Right, curious how much time it would take to IPO on IDX vs the US. If IDX IPO process is much faster and similar to the SPAC timeline, that wouldn't be good but that's if.
Can they dual list on both IDX and the US?
I'm really worried about these Indonesian deals right now, basically they just got a new option to list on IDX. Ofc SPAC will be faster but that's as good as it gets. Even though the CEO said they want to go public as soon as possible but it's been two months since the rumor.
You probably know as much as anyone else. Likely Traveloka or GoTo, rumored to be waiting for IDX rule change. That’s about it. How much of this is true or close to the truth is anyone’s guess.
F*k BTWN… Slow ass hell with the merger. Rules changed on IDX let’s see if this thing decides to move. Built positions in Rtpy and Svok while waiting. Jumped out of BTNB after hearing propertyguru at 2b. Would like Goto or Traveloka for BTWN but I think they might take Bukalapak public.
$APXT ---> $AVPT cant wait to see what this does the next 5 years let alone short term (125 shares at 11.89 average cost) Also this month we should expect DAs from $BTWN and $BTNB with the IDX rules for spacs being finalized
Just waiting on BTWN and BTNB loading up more shares by the week. After the IDX rules are updated next month I feel like they will announce both relatively quickly
This SPAC has been one of my biggest disappointments in a while. From what I've seen, Traveloka is one of my favorite targets. I love the company, their leadership is fantastic, and the company ticks all the boxes for not just a great SPAC target but also just a great long-term investment. Not getting a DA on it is excruciating. Think it's been been dribbling back to NAV for two reasons. First, people losing interest with no DA. Second, lost confidence in the validity of the rumor itself. Could you link that twitter thread? A theory that someone posted elsewhere here is based on proposed rule changes for the Indonesian stock exchange (IDX). The change would allow SPACs to list, in which case SPACs listed on the US exchanges could dual list on the IDX. The theory is that Indonesian companies may be waiting for that rule change to be accepted by the IDX (expected by July) before signing a DA so that they can be sure the SPAC can list in their home country. It kind of feels like grasping at straws, but could potentially be correct. In that case, we would see a DA once that rule change in announced (assuming the theory is correct). Another theory is that BTWN really wants GoTo. If Thiel and Li think they can get it, then BTWN is their only SPAC with a large enough trust to merge. I don't know enough about GoTo but general sentiment is that it's a great company. Personally, I prefer Traveloka bc I know for a fact that it's an amazing company and is smaller than GoTo so could more easily appreciate in the market. Also, some unfortunate news came out recently: Bukalapak (SEA e-commerce) is [planning to IPO](https://www.techinasia.com/bukalapak-ipo-plan-july-96-million-revenue) on the IDX this coming Tues, June 29. They were undoubtedly approached by numerous SPACs but still decided to go with a traditional IPO. Not a great sign for SEA-focused SPACs...
I think it’s taking a while because of the IDX regulations regarding dual listing (in Indonesia and in the US). There was an article saying it’s expected to be approved by July.
These SEA companies want to do a dual listing in both Indonesia and the US. But regulations in IDX weren't very favorable for tech companies as they have certain financial requirements that most of these high growth tech companies don't meet (low net profitability). IDX realized that allowing these companies to list regionally will boost their capital markets so they are trying their best to update regulations by July and tap into a new generation of retail traders who use these apps everyday (Probably the same reason why these companies want to utilize listing in the regional capital markets). My guess is that once these companies receive certainty that they will be able to list in Indonesia as well, they will make the announcements in the US to maybe make a coordinated effort to list in both exchanges. Plus the market hasn't been great in the US these past few months for spacs so I am guessing the spac sponsors must not have been keen to make the announcements earlier. There have been some hints sprayed across several articles about GoTo with some mentions of Traveloka and Bukalapak etc but it requires a deep dive and ofcourse [Tiket.com](https://Tiket.com) is not directly mentioned but I am just thinking one announcement will follow the other. Of-course like all conjectures I could be wrong.
It will be before that. IDX going to update some regulations to make it easier for major tech companies in Indonesia list on their exchange (in July) so I am guessing SE target company spacs make announcements in July.
Waiting for the IDX rules and everything I've read points to them being out next month. After all of this is put in place all these DAs should start rolling in imo also here's an article I found on it ttps://www.dealstreetasia.com/stories/ojk-dual-class-shares-246400/
Couple thoughts on this: Holding pre-DA SPACs right now is probably a mistake. DA pops are non-existent, so unless you're fully committed to the SPAC as just being a cash store with a **very** small chance of upside, I wouldn't hold onto it. You end up missing out on other things. My personal exception to this is BTWN bc there's a credible rumor for a target that I'm very bullish about. SPACs like SRNG and PACX got great targets (esp SRNG), but there was no pop. As an alternative, you could consider Oct call options (which is what I've done). The BTNB Oct 10c closed at $0.65 today, so you're essentially getting 15:1 leverage. So instead of spending $1000 to hold 100 shares, you're spending $65. Of course that comes with greater % downside risk, but at least you free up capital for other things. As for BTNB in general - I have a feeling we may be getting BTWN and BTNB DAs sooner rather than later. Bridgetown has already registered or filed for two more SPACs (III and IV). Thiel and Li are two of the greatest tech investors this century with connections or access to all the SEA unicorns. As another user pointed out, the SEA companies may be waiting to sign the DAs until the IDX (Indonesian stock exchange) officially changes the rules to allow SPACs to be dual listed. If that's the case, then we could see BTWN soon. I prefer the BTWN July call options for leverage and am ok with rolling them if we don't get an announcement. If BTNB does indeed come after BTWN, then it may take a few more weeks (if not longer). So for BTNB, I prefer the Oct calls (holding a few dozen).
Valuation of a company alone doesn't dictate price target. Generally companies are valued at multiples relative to peers. By multiples, I mean the value of the company (usually enterprise value, or EV) divided by the profit (usually EBITDA) or revenue. Revenue is typically used for growth (not yet profitable, high revenue growth) companies, generally based on forward projections (2022, 2023, etc). To use made up numbers, let's assume that GoTo is projecting 2022 revenue of $10 and Traveloka is projecting revenue of $1. If GoTo gets a valuation of $100, that means their 2022 EV/R is 10x ($100/$10). If Traveloka gets a valuation of $10, that means their EV/R is 10x ($10/$1). Now, if each company raises their revenue projections, then the multiples decrease and the companies are relatively cheaper. The twist is that it is much easier for Traveloka to have a higher % change in projections than GoTo. If both companies raise their projected revenue by $1, that represents a % increase of 100% for Traveloka vs just 10% for GoTo. It's much easier for smaller companies to add a greater proportion of revenue. In that scenario, the 2022 EV/R multiples for Traveloka and GoTo would now be 5x ($10/$2) and 9.1x ($100/$11). Therefore, Traveloka would be extremely undervalued (assuming a 10x target) while GoTo would just be slightly overvalued. Hence, smaller-cap growth companies are inherently more volatile. However, this works both ways. If both reduce their projections, Traveloka's share price will be hurt worse. In terms of options, premium should be higher on more volatile names. So for the call options on BTWN, they'd benefit more from the smaller-cap, more volatile Traveloka than with the larger GoTo. *Caveat: this is a gross oversimplification. There are lots of other factors that go into company valuations. This is just a simple example.* Thanks for the thought on the IDX rule change, I wasn't aware of that. Something to consider for sure, I'll read more into it tomorrow.
My understanding is that GoTo is valued much higher than Traveloka. Wouldn't GoTo being BTWN mean a higher PT than if it were Traveloka? I'm still learning so I'm asking to understand, not criticizing. Also, I wonder how the below IDX rule change will affect timing. I see some people on StockTwit (yeah, I know), think that an announcement will likely be after the IDX rule change and definitely not before. That rule change is supposed to happen by July apparently. Link below. https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2021/03/07/idx-to-allow-spacs-hopes-indonesian-unicorns-will-go-public-locally.html
I also bought some $10 July calls a few days back and been doing some digging online. I came across a guy on StockTwits (yeah I know), and his take was that SEA SPACs won't make an announcement until after the IDX's rule changes on SPACs (link below) which will happen by July. Assuming that guy is right about waiting until after IDX and these announcements come after those rule changes, would you think about rolling out the July calls to October--the idea being that the timeline is tight for a July announcement and give some more breathing room. I'm fairly confident this thing gets announced by October. Thanks for the write up!
Hi, Your proposed allocation doesn't make sense and has so much overlap. FID FDM IDX 2055 IPR is a target date fund. If you use this fund, it should be 100%. You are paying the slightly higher expense ratio for the ease of letting Fidelity choose your asset allocation. CBA SM CAP GR IS is an actively managed fund and overlaps with FID EXTD MKT IDX. If I were you, I would go: 75% - FID 500 INDEX (FXAIX, .015% Ratio) 20% - FID TOTAL INTL IDX (FTIHX) 5% - FID US BOND IDX (FXNAX, .025% Ratio) You can of course change the percentages of these three, but this would be the standard three fund portfolio and have the lowest expense ratios.
* VANG INST 500 IDX TR is S&P 500, which some people use for their entire US coverage * VANG TOT INT STK IDX to replace FTIHX * VANG TOTAL BOND MKT for FXNAX ​ Optional: * VANG SM CAP IDX INST (VSCIX) can be added to fill some of what bullet 1 doesn't cover, though you'd still be missing mid-caps. ​ >And the target date funds with an ER of 0.055%. > >If you were in my situation would you just stick with the target date fund or choose the investments yourself with the funds above? 0.055% is an excellent ER.
It's a good thing I'm not a conspiracist because between Reddit today and IDX yesterday.....
Sorry I just realized I should have posted here instead of creating a new post. Can you please rate my 401k portfolio? I am trying to invest aggressively and my retirement date is 2044. Most of the options seem subpar to me due to the high expense ratio. Target funds somehow make me nervous because I don't understand how the allocations are changing. Investment options: [Investment Options](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PWAxPd922Ny9BXYmjImWU7kjzCBdPNdv/view?usp=drivesdk) Current Investment: BTC Equity Index J 60% allocation, .01% expense BTC MDCP EQ IDX M, 10%, .03% SS RSL SM CAP IDX S, 10%, .052% FSPSX, 15%, .035% VBTIX 5%, .035% Please do let me know if any other information is needed. Thanks in advance.
If they do land toko/gojek it will be a long term winner. The #1 and #3 biggest tech companies in Indonesia becoming 1. They had to wait for their government to approve the deal over monopoly issues. And also I think they are waiting for the IDX to approve spacs so they can dual list on both exchanges but unfortunately this won't be until July. But imo I think the silence is a good thing
Mandatory disclaimer: long 1. That's not correct. MNC Sky Vision is the FTA & Paid TV business of MNC Vision networks. MNC Vision networks (Owners of Sky Vision and Asia Vision Network) was created a couple of years ago and it's basically a roll-up of multiple assets owned by MNC Group. The assets that are being spun-out are not part of MNC Sky Vision, but part of MNC Vision (IDX:IPTV) 2. I don't agree with this comparison. US/Europe is a market with SO much content vs. SEA which has less and western content struggles with mainstream appeal (beyond the wealthy). Look at top shows in SEA, it's all local content. In fact, I believe the biggest appeal is that the biggest content creator in the country is invested (MNC Media part of MNC group owner of MNC Vision Networks) and has incentives to provide a good pipeline of exclusive content. 3. That's partially correct. There's a lot of players and is pretty competitive but Netflix is not #1. Based on Jan 2021 research ([https://www.media-partners-asia.com/article.php?id=2332](https://www.media-partners-asia.com/article.php?id=2332)), Vision+ would be the 2nd biggest player, just slightly ahead of Viu. 4. That is definitely the norm for current users of internet / streaming (which tend to be the most wealthy in ID), but I don't think it applies to the 'untapped' part of the market. If you look at prices - Netflix is on a complete different ball game to viu / Vision+. Also just to clarify, Netflix is not the market leader - and is smaller than Vision+ (and several other services you mentioned) in Indonesia
Why I won't buy into $MLAC/Asia Vision Network ​ 1. It's supposedly a double listing of a 27 year old company (under new OTT business scheme) that's publicly traded in Indonesia stock market. [https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSKY:IDX?window=MAX](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSKY:IDX?window=MAX). - even the locals don't have high expectations. 2. Latest Netflix copycat Quibi (Meg Whitman & Jeffrey Katzenberg - raised almost $2B prior to launch, with major media companies backing them) = winded down after 6 months of operation. Same case for Apple TV (retention rate lower than 30%) 3. Netflix is already #1 OTT streaming service in Indonesia, followed by iflix (Tencent), Viu (PCCW - Richard Li's company), Hooq (SingTel-Sony JV - recently acquired by Coupang), Disney- Holstar, iQYI (Baidu), Viki (Rakuten)...and many more. 4. Even if Indonesian Broadcasting commission tries to block foreign OTT streaming services, users will flock to the names above, since it's like a norm in Indonesia to use VPN like in China (Gov't blocking certain sites frequently). Netflix was initially blocked off in 2016, but still maintained their lead in market share.
Zillow has recently swapped to an IDX based system to display their properties. What does this mean? It now utilizes the exact method of pulling data off MLS databases that any basic real estate website out there does. It literally has no advantage to presenting listings, this was always the biggest upside of Zillow.
Do your research. I wouldn't bet on this shitty company. They're already listed in Indonesia [https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSKY:IDX](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MSKY:IDX)
