INTL crushed SPY this year anyway.
Bought calls on SOFI for Dec 12 and INTL for Nov 28, down a few hundred on em right now, any chance of small rallies to lessen the blow y’all think?
2/3 INTL 1/3 domestic will serve you well
When people start saying it’s different this time…it is time to ask what happened to CSCO or INTL or AOL or heck pets.com
Buzz, your INTL shares…Woof!
I sold covered calls on INTL for 2.5 years, worked out great.
You can take your imaginary break out line and shove it up your poontangular hole. INTL closed at 38.10 Thursday. Today after a 2000% banger earnings it closes at 38.28 and currently sits at well looky there! 38.10! So it held only .31% of its overnight gains. Trumps pump was already priced in. That earnings as a pump and dump piece of shit.
IF you would have wrote those today I guarantee you Intel would have fell to 27.45! You would have had a banger! Monday do one for 10$ strike! Watch INTL plummett ! Then go BUY an ITM leap and watch that shit be worthless in a blink of an eye!
Bought a little bit of each NBIS, IREN, INTL and CIFR today. Wish I had bought more
These are good options. Target date funds are totally fine. The only downsides are that a) the expense ratios are a little higher than pure index trackers (although still typically not egregious) and b) they mix asset classes and so have returned a bit less over the last 15 years than the large cap US index that people typically use as a benchmark (i.e., the S&P 500). That latter point is not actually a problem. A fund with multiple asset classes is always going to underperform the best performing asset class. In the last 15 years, that's been large cap American stocks. Going forward, who knows. Look at the expense ratios of each fund. Filter out anything that's too expensive, or too exotic (e.g., there's no reason to hold a junk bond fund in a 401k). You'll want some international exposure. Note that some funds with "international" in the name, like FID INTL INDEX, are only developed markets, so exclude China, Brazil and so on, which may not be ideal. You would need to add an "emerging markets" fund to get access to those. You may want bond funds too depending on your age. Personally, I'd go with something like 40% FID 500 INDEX, 40% FID INTL INDEX, 20% DFA EMERGING MKTS if you're youngish and can stomach some volatility.
Personally I'd throw 80% into FID 500 Index and 20% into FID INTL Index and call it a day.
A lot of Fidelity and Vanguard funds so should be fine. Figure out the expense ratios of each but FID 500, FID INTL and VANG EXT MKT would be a fine 3 fund portfolio. Or just do the target date fund
All you really need is the FID 500 and FID INTL. If you want, add some of the VANG EXT MKT to better approximate the total US market, but FID 500 is a fine enough rough approximation. I do 55% FID 500, 15% VANG EXT MKT, and 30% FID INTL. This is assuming you don't want bonds, but a basic whole world equity portfolio.
should i sell my 100 INTL shares, i bought in at $19 or should i hold until it hits closer to $50 ?
I mean, I should have bought INTL when he said to…he’s pretty clear - it will be fine - buy intel - now would be a good time to buy stocks. There’s not a lot left to interpret
Jarvis, analyze the $2mil INTL call holders’ balls
Calls on Magdalena bay imaginal disk fucks so hard INTL to $40 ofc
FYI, buying more funds doesn't necessarily make your portfolio more diversified. You can be fully diversified with 2 funds, VT and BNDW. That gives you the entire equity and bond market. Though the common advice is for BND for the US bond market. And splitting out VT to VTI + VXUS to add a level of customization over the allocation of US vs INTL. This is the basis of the "3 fund portfolio" for which everything is measured by.
Is the INTL kid with his grandmas RIP money still alive?
are you guys really talking about INTL? The international ETF? I thought this conversation was originally about INTC. and it probably still is.
INTL like your nana’s Metamucil. UP.
Nana wasn’t wrong just early lmao INTL FTW
INTL was and is a bad investment. It's only not in the teens because it makes a product strategic to AI and can't be allowed to be sold off to Chinese proxies. It will be chopped up and sold to domestic US companies.
Better than alright! Jesus. I should have known to go with Nana because everyone on Reddit says INTL was a bad investment.
I see more and more regards type INTL as the ticker. No wonder you lose money.
Looks like Ken bought INTL puts with nana's money
True, I should sell my INTL leaps also
obviously the people who called ORCL+INTL are just sitting around posting on reddit
"Hi ORCL & INTL guy here" anytime I see that, I laugh
Do your own DD. Following blindly will lead to this. He didn't call anything regarding ORCL and INTL. Just look at his profile.
Where are your posts regarding ORCL and INTL?
People really tried to pump INTL for it to sit under 30 all day.
been watching INTL for over a year now but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger, fml
I wanted to buy Intel but accidently bought INTL
INTL guy, speak to us. Let us know if you’re doing alright kid
Question: is INTL about to Moon it?
So the play was INTL, not AMD
It has been a long run of DCAing INTL from my $42 re-entry and subsequent wash sale. Today is a good day.
When is the best time to plant a tree, yesterday. Trying to time the market vs actually investing is a no brainer. If you’re looking to set and forget, pick 2-3 stocks that cover the AUS, INTL and emerging markets, invest all the money, reinvest dividends and forget about it.
he has literally been bailing out more big businesses than anyone in government. did you really conveniently forget the government just did a socialist bailout of INTL last week?
Things will get real fair real quick with $INTL if Trump dies.
Oh my god you’re not understanding. The kid doesn’t have to know previously that NVDA is a video game stock. The kid will say “I want to invest in video games stuff” and then their parent will elaborate on what those are. MSFT, NVDA, INTL, TTWO, etc.
Countdown to NVDIA Earnings Tech stocks to watch My pick INTL Drone Tech My pick
I will actually laugh my ass off if PLTR ends up getting the INTL treatment
Whaa, INTL and OPEN just went down, what happened
INTL for the moon! Trump pushed down to $20 and bought it back! Our president is so smart. Buying long dated calls boys!
I don’t understand this INTL thing at all. The US government won’t directly pay for the shares, but it will in exchange provide some kind of public grant, and they’ll have no board seat? What the heck is this
US GOVT long INTL, nana be proud
At this point you’re better off investing in the Nana meme than in INTL
INTL - typical for any SoftBank investment 😂
I don't care if INTL is having a good day, that should have been NVDAs good day you thieving government.
Does Trump get to keep the INTL shares after he leaves office, like he gets to keep the 747? The shares can be part of his Presidential Museum, lol.
It was INTC (Intel Corp) not INTL btw. Yes, there was only about .10 left of intrinsic value because the strike was 21.50 and the price was 24.51 when I made my exit. It was so deep in the money that even a 7 day contract was worth almost nothing beyond intrinsic value. I paid 3.10 to get out of the contract, plus fees, so after selling the stock, my net sale was $2,140 instead of $2150. And yes, I wanted out of INTC for a long, long time. I have other uses for $2k and I don’t think INTC troubles are over.
PLTR INTL CALLS litch free money
How much money do we need to print to save INTL’s ass?
If I close early, it’s usually 1-3 days out, but I just closed a $21.50 covered call on INTL a week early because it shot to $25 and I could cash out for $2,140 15AUG instead of $2,150 22AUG. APLD just pulled back to $14 and I want to add to that position now. So I ate the $10 a week early and changed horses. It’s all about how much more you can or can’t squeeze in the time left and is that money better put to use elsewhere. How much is your position worth? $500? $5,000? $15,000? How much intrinsic value is left? $5? $25? $100? How much is your next trade worth if you cash out today and reinvest? It’s all up to you and your goals.
TLRY (to add something different than all the RDDT, ASTS, SOFI, INTL which i also agree with)
Yeah, but not to buy INTL chips.
Someone made a tracker that shows how much bro is up/down on the legendary INTL play
Does anyone have the link for the INTL granny tracker
Main International stock after hours pumping on people that can’t spell INTC vs INTL oh my god
For my individual stock selections, I'm not very diversified. But overall, I'm highly diversified at about 30% US, 20% Dev. INTL, 30% Real Estate, and 20% Bond & Cash
I invest mostly in passive index funds. But I do have a separate account where I buy individual equities, which I hold for the most part and I fund it with 1% of my income. Dividends are reinvested. Currently, it has AAPL, NVIDIA, COST, and INTL (ask but don’t ask haha). It used to be 1% of my portfolio. But it has grown since i started to about 3%. It’s where Im playing and learning about individual stocks and tend to be more aggressive/specilative with it. Do I need to do anything with it if it starts becoming a bigger part of my portfolio? 5%? 10%? Should I rebalance out into index funds when the value gets above a certain percentage?
Robinhood just overtook INTL on market cap. Intel makes critical infrastructure and Robinhood is a trading app haha
Is ICE gonna detain INTL’s ceo now????
LOL. Yeah right. Devastating Semi-Conductor tarriffs announced. Better go all in on $TSM and $INTL
I've got plenty of US. Just buying international at the moment trying to get in that 35-40% INTL range
That is my portfolio which consists of… UNH, NVO, LULU, INTL
With respect to the dot com era, that was my problem and why I didn't score huge. I didn't have the conviction to trade the way you needed really needed to. I'll try to explain what my friends were doing but it's a little complicated and I'll probably leave a lot out. Back then all these crap companies ran off selling stock to raise money because they didn't have any profits or even revenue in some cases. As the game got played out it became harder and harder for them to raise money because people were chasing the next new thing. So they would essentially find companies that were so trashy they felt wouldn't be able to raise more money. Then they would look at how much cash the company had on had and what their burn rate was and calculate when that company would run out of money. The problem is those types of stocks are like a mean dog backed into a corner. Everyone sees the same thing and they're all trying to save their asses. So you would get wild volatility as the market makers would try to squeeze the shorts out to create liquidity for the major investors who were trapped. The way to trade that as it turned out was to just keep adding all the way up to your short position. That takes some serious balls. Those moves would freak me out. But I can clearly recall my friends typing in our little chat room things like, "I'm short 10K at $22 praying they squeeze this pig to $100." Or, When will you stop adding? "When my fingers are bleeding so bad I can't read my keyboard." These guys had zero fear. Keep in mind we weren't shorting CSCO and INTL we were shorting pure trash. The closest thing I've seen to this since was when pigs like GME and AMC got stupid during covid. I did capitalize on that btw. 2021 was my highest profit year ever thanks to AMC.
Actually it does have to be a scam. MSFT, CSCO, INTL didn;t disappear after 2000. Hundreds of others did. Companies that were all the rage and the driving forces of the bubble. JDSU, RFMD, ECNC, and so many others were the result of all the crazy speculation. How many people are giving you stock "tips"? Back then everyone was an expert. The receptionist. The hair stylist. The cab driver. Literally everyone was all about dot com stocks. There's nowhere near that level of speculation today. So many rules have been out in place. There was no PDT rule back then. No SSR. No circuit breakers, No RegSho, no locate fees, etc, etc, etc. Accounting standards have also changed so dramatically that an Enron or Worldcom would be ousted quickly. You simply don't know what you're talking about. I retired at 48 thanks to the GFC. Now is not the time to be bearish son.
20 years ago INTL was the cuttibg edge chipmaker. 20 years is 6 generations of chip design.
20 years ago INTL was the best chipmaker in the world. Times move fast in that industry.
If it was from your nanna, there is only option... INTL
Why couldn't AMD do what INTL did today. My puts are fuk....
Maybe he can hook up with INTL grandma in heaven
Meet me behind the Wendy's dumpster, I can sell you some INTL, or some T, O or F in the cheap. Seriously though, Schwab had been pretty good since my TD Ameritrade rolled into them
IMO—that’s way too heavy INTL. You’re limiting risk a lot no doubt, but you’re severely limiting upside. Theirs been tons of research done on the VOO vs VXUS over the last 30ish years; VOO crushed it. Checkout r/Bogleheads for better responses
MRMD, INTL One is performing like it's using the other. This statement works both ways.
What if it’s just your individual largest position and it’s 100% of your inheritance on INTL?
I bought a chump change amount of INTL because there's no way a major brand like that stays down at 20 bucks forever. Now, it's arguable that I'm better off just dropping that cash on SP500 but it'll feel good in 10 years when I'm up 5% 🥴
I bought INTL during the Great Recession and held it like 10 years. Made 20%. 😢 I had considered AMD at the time but nah, they weren’t making money. Some of you will know what an error this was. I did atleast buy some Apple and Starbucks at the same time.
Of those choices, I’d put 25% in “FID INTL DSCVRY CP A”. Your current S&P selection completely lacks non-US equity, so this will help. Foreign equity is having a great year too.
AMZN and INTL are ruining my green across the screen and it is annoying me. I want 100%. Honestly feels too easy right now so should buy puts so maybe buy calls.
I can tell you my experience in the last 10 years. From boggleheads I did the simple total us / total intl / real estate / bond portfolio. US blew up while INTL lagged behind for years and now grew slowly. I invested total us and total intl equally and total us is now twice as large as total intl. Hindsight is 20/20 but I wished I just slotted everything to US.
> First of all, it's INTC not INTL. Wow. You know what, I don’t have the ticker memorized. I did a quick search and that was what I read. You clearly got what I meant though. As for the rest of your comment - > When you had to point to Intel as your counter example, I am certain you don't follow the financials. Oh shit guys, we’ve got a genius market nerd here. Intel was a perfect counter example to the idea that you’re better off holding a stock long term. It’s obvious that you got that point, so you’re just being an asshole. Good luck with your stock picks buddy, I’m sure your foresight is infallible.
>For every dollar that AAPL shares appreciated, holding the stock long term means I captured every single dollar of increase. But buying in and out, I am only taking small cuts, and there were plenty of windows I missed out on. Or, the stock could have bombed, and instead of taking a smaller profit, you would have no profit and a depreciated asset. Imagine if you'd held INTL. Long-term investing is just slow trading with a bull thesis. If you don't understand that, you're lying to yourself.
If you buy stocks and they go down, just hold them then, eventually everything goes back up (INTL *cough*)
VHT seems to have been nice in the past (looking at backtesting) but hasn't been doing great this year and hasn't recovered much since April. If you have no international assets, I would highly recommend adding some. Vanguard's VT total market fund is currently roughly 60/40% US/INTL. Look up your total gains from your position in VHT. Add those gains to your expected salary this year. Then look that up in the tax tables - is it going to make a noticeable difference in your taxes next year, if at all, or do you care? (This is just a shortcut calculation.) Whether you choose to swap them, you may want to add some VXUS or similar either way, as international markets have become fairly important lately. Others may disagree.
i'm still buying gradually, but i'm going deep into walmart Visa, and other things ppl must use their services even in a recession. And gradually upping my bonds and foreign stocks too. I've been doing 60/20/20 for US INTL and Bonds as that historically would have given me almost the same gains as 90% stock 10% bonds but less volatile, and I think I might gradually lower the US side from 60% to something else...
Pro tip: marry someone with an unhealthy, wealthy grandma. Buy INTL calls as far out as you can. Should all work out
Thinking about U, INTL, SNAP, GOOG
I have had terrible returns with “safe” stocks. MCD, UPS, ATT, INTL… awful choices. I only own VTI now.
And you compare your “mathematical” approach of just randomly keep adding to a losing position to Simon’s highly sophisticated algorithmic approach to markets? Fucking delusional, there’s plenty of stocks that never recovered from all time highs like WBA, HTZ, FMCC, FNMA, BB, BBB, INTL, and many more. Averaging losers occasionally works but when it doesn’t you Fuck your life savings on a loser stock/company.
$INTL is an ETF of international stocks - it's up 24% in 2.3 years. [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/INTL/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/INTL/) $INTC is Intel. It's down 20% in that same 2.3 years. [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/INTC/?guccounter=1](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/INTC/?guccounter=1) So, yeah ... it would have been better so far.
