At 79 she should be 20-80. What does she need the gains for? Should be more about capital preservation at that age for emergency, LTC and legacy.

CSCO just broke ATH, this is a bad omen. Like the LTC of stocks. Market has spoken.

Did a little research. Some of these look better than others they've all performed well and I would wait for a dip OHI NHC LTC ENSG BKD. You are not wrong with that thought process I've seen some people I considered wealthy lose it all in a matter of months to the nursing home.

Watch my LTC keep ripping

Alright everyone, Monday afternoon I opened a portfolio heavy into tech. I am the reason the market is crashing. Deposit all your LTC to my address and I will close my positions, catapaulting the market into unforeseen heights. You have one day

Anybody wanna pump a random crypto? Im thinking LTC to $400 at open tmw

PickleRickleTV

Thought that back when BTC was 4K so I bought LTC hoping to “catch up”. 8 years later BTC was like 80K and LTC was basically unchanged. Moral of the story is only gold is gold. Trying to play cute angles like this will leave you in the dust.

solanawhale

You’re naming a use case that doesn’t need to exist. I can buy those things without LTC.

AH1776

I already buy things and subscriptions with LTC. Use case is here. A lot of foreign interests don’t want dollars, they’ll take the LTC and just convert that to their local currency.

AH1776

I purchase subscriptions with LTC. I purchase Gold and silver with LTC aswell. There are a lot of use cases, but these are the two I use.

I bought some LITS calls … I’m on that LTC sunk cost fallacy 10 year plan.

kaBUdl

I think long term care may benefit from a demographic tailwind, along with generational asset skew. Robotic/AI LTC should blast off, maybe watch Japan first? The ongoing depletion in rural health services may be an opening for telemedicine.

zangor

LTC has been such a disappointment. But maybe very long term it will pay off.

literanch

As someone who used to have a lot of LTC about 8 years ago — never. It will never moon. BTC is up 1000% in the same time period that LTC is up 300% or less. Glad I got out of that shit.

Who is the policy owner/policyholder? They would receive the surrender value. For tax purposes the obligation is surrender value less premiums paid. I am assuming the policy owner is the parents, so would the surrender value be used by the parents or would it be gifted to the children? If it is the children one thing to remember is, given the size of surrender value, to use the lifetime gift and estate tax exclusion. One thing to think of is a partial surrender. A partial surrender withdraws some cash from the policy accompanied by a reduction in the face amount. This way you pull some cash out but you still have life coverage. To answer the question about the policy value increasing. If it is a whole life policy (which this probably is) it will mature for the face at the limiting/maturity age. The limiting age on older policies is likely to be 100 (but it could be any age, 95 for example) however the more recent mortality tables mature at 120. So the policy might not mature for the face until the insured is past 100. Funds may or may not be able to be left on deposit after maturity which, if they could, would increase the cash value by the crediting rate. One thing that is very important to consider is long term care. If the parents have a separate LTC policy this won’t be an issue but if they don’t you do want to consider this before surrendering. If this is a newer policy it could have an accelerated benefit rider that covers LTC. In closing I will reiterate what a previous manager would tell me: Read the policy form. It will list out surrender options.

We don’t know your age, nor what your expected expenses in retirement will be. But, $1M with a SWR of 4%, would only yield $40k annually. Can you retire comfortably on that? I’ve been retired nearly six years and am still growing my retirement nest egg. Should I need LTC in the future, I should be able to an afford to live in a nice place.

Dotcom bubble was a bubble, but not perhaps as ominous as 2008 financial crash. A bunch of spec day traders getting burned is not nearly as bad as the whole housing bubble popping. I mean, I went through the whole thing and really it wasn’t nearly as bad as 2008. One thing, though. Dotcom bubble sadly set the stage for stock market bailouts with LTC debacle and Greenspan “fixing” it for them. True beginning of moral hazard and such. A canary in the coal mine for future bailouts, helicopter Ben, etc.

Sintzes

Unless if I missed something about her health, I would talk to the financial advisor about securing a ltc policy as she can likely find a really good benefit for her age. I wouldnt look for a conventional one, but more likely a hybrid that leans more into LTC side more than the life insurance side. Then let them manage the portfolio or do it yourself to save 1.5% if you feel comfortable doing that. Even if there are health problems there may be a company that can get her approved, just need to go with someone knowledge in that area. Also depends on the rules of the trust etc, but if thats the main goal it should probably be addressed or at least shopped around to see if it makes sense. Side note, if you have siblings or others that can nitpick how you manage the trust the fee might pay for itself on saved headaches

I had BTC in the $3k range, 60,000 Ripple, tons of LTC, NIO options that would have hit $600k, NFT's that went into the 100,000s of thousands....I sold all these before they ran. I've missed out on a shit ton of money and there are way more examples of this actually. I'm well known in my friends group for great buys and horrible sells. The best part, I learned from it, so now I try and hold. And guess what, those go down and now I lose money. About all I can do is laugh about it. It does burn a bit, but you'll have more like this as well, potentially another win. I'm 40 and have had wins, loses and misses since like 18.

Most people still holding doge are probably sitting on a loss. It will go up, like 90% of them will. All crypto looks mean, but DOGE is one of the worst I can think of. XTZ, LTC, SOL, ETH, and BTC all are better options than DOGE. My personal favorite alt is MOG coin but I’m biased. TSLA is a green energy and ai superpower with massive hate from retail investors and large institutional investors. Anyone shorting Tesla is about to get sent to pound town. Been saying 410 on earnings for like 5 weeks now. I’ll be smacking September TSLL calls on Monday.

MEI Pharma ($MEIP) - From failed shitco biotech to Litecoin ($LTC) treasury company https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250718252887/en/MEI-Pharma-Announces-%24100000000-Private-Placement-to-Initiate-Litecoin-Treasury-Strategy-Becoming-First-and-Only-Publicly-Traded-LTC-Holder-on-a-National-Exchange Been bagholding this turd for 4 years with cost basis ~$60 in the hope that it would develop a successful drug that would cure cancer. classic biotech storyline: management pumps the stock during ph1,2&3 of drug development, management and board votes and receives ESOP, management exercises and exits, drug fails to meet endpoints, stock craters, management dilutes to fund another failure…rinse&repeat. Hereafter, activists got involved (Anson Funds and Cable Car), blocked a merger with another failed shitco biotech (Infinity Pharma, that filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2023), stopped and wound down all drugs development, sold one drug asset to a promising failed shitco biotech (Aardvark Therapeutics), fired board members and elected new ones, declared a special dividend, cleaned balance sheet and launched a strategic review with Oppenheimer in July 2024 that lasted up until last Friday 18th. Last Friday, it announced that it would transition to become the first Litecoin ($LTC) treasury company, with Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin, and GSR (leading digital and crypto currency market market maker) in a $100M PIPE with other investors. Also so-called the silver of bitcoin, Litecoin tends to be well suited to support small transactions and transfers as it is faster and cheaper than Bitcoin. Moreover, Litecoin liquidity seems better than that of bitcoin as there are more Litecoin in circulation. Finally, Litecoin stands as the cheapest of most major cryptocurrencies or maybe is it that most major cryptocurrencies are overvalued…

DontMindMe4057

Honestly, too much. 20% crypto (BTC, ETH, and LTC) and the rest is individual- a lot (too much) in tech. I have over 60 stocks- I wanted to “diversify my portfolio” which is the reason I’ve never completely tanked- but I’ve definitely timed a few things wrong and invested when a stock is still plummeting. It’s always leveled out for me and I’ve never realized a severe loss. I just wait AF and I’ve realized large gains several times. Back in 2021 at my ATH I took out $15k but RH charts don’t track that very well. Just me and these diamond hands 💎

LTC news just dropped

daviddjg0033

BTC started trading differently when the ETFs last year were launched. The hours are primarily now during the week - years ago I used to speculate hedge funds were buying over weekends to juice returns. There are other correlations - dollar (at least not dying dollar) and maybe liquidity. I don't trade altcoins (ETH or LTC are altcoins to me) but I wonder how much upside BTC has. Maybe we surpass 110,000 again.

PossibilityBright703

It’s a good question. Might be worth taking off the thread. I’ve been following their stock since before the drop and have been doubling down. I need more education on investing but my outlook is promising. The biggest thing to consider about success in LTC is census. PACS does this very well. I worked in 3 states and only one of them seemed to do alright, the other two states were meh on census growth. Ensign gets very cheap buildings to keep their rent low. PACS is more aggressive in their acquisition strategy. With the corrections to their Part B, it’ll be interesting to see how things play out. ENSG is very well run from the whole company perspective. They take extremely calculated risk, so they move slower. With PACS, their aggressiveness could end up hurting them if their census growth falters below what it is now.

Delicious-Proposal95

Not sure what happened to your comment but I was referring to a LTC policy for his wife. If healthy under 70 shouldn’t be a problem.

Critical-Werewolf-53

OP. Ignore all advice here. Find a professional. If you want LTC - you’ll need to get creative with your insurance options - they’re out there and doable. Set trusts now - so that if you don’t get LTC you can avoid the look back period for Medicare. Explore generating income for your wide given the base age difference. CDs and Bonds are ok at best - but you need better solutions tailored to what your wife and yourself need long term.

R35Ryan

I did the exact thing in 2021. Bought LTC at the peak 😂. They had the same response. I guess $5k isn't worth their time and money to pursue

anygal

Honestly it depends on a lot of factors. Will they be able to penetrate other markets other than 'currently not on any drug LTC'? If not, how fast will they penetrate LTC and when will their growth start to slow, then plateau? I might sell in 2 years, I might hold on for 5. I definitely do not expect to sell it under a years length though, so yeah, short answer is that I expect to hold it somewhere between 1-5 years at least, maybe more.

Not stock related but thought worth bringing up. There is this new betting app. It’s called Dabble. But they’re offering a free £10 bet for people who sign up using a referral code. Decent odds and you can follow profiles so it’s easier to copy bets. Fast withdrawals if you make anything from the free, just have to make sure you write in the code on sign up so you get it.

You need to figure out your expected annual expenses(including taxes) in today’s dollars, apply a general rate for inflation, then extrapolate that out from your expected retirement age to death. Then, determine how much you would need to put away at a given return rate to meet that need through retirement. There are other variable (one-off expenses, LTC) but this will get you started.

In the US there are 7 million people who have Alzheimer's, in China there are 50 million. Obviously not all will take this drug, first they are shooting for the Long-Term Care market, where there are 3 million people with Alzheimer's in the US. It is covered by Medicare. In China there are roughly 33 million people with Alzheimer's in long-term care, but I have no idea if the chinese partner will target them or every chinese Alzheimer's. You could say that their TAM in the US market is 7 million, I'd say that first they will shoot for people in the LTC market who tried other drugs but couldn't tolerate the side-effects, so 1.5 million people.

I think you should start with IUL, your background check saving, employment, marriages, or kids. So the broker agent can come up with better solutions with Long term care. And my best answer for you, IUL LTC, with global index. Higher protection, stay floor on .75, and up to 30% and give up 17% for lock.

I use the Fidelity online tools to model current portfolio including non Fido accounts and the Retirement Planner so my Fido advisor has a good overview and we can make better use of our meeting time. We meet a out once per year. This year we met 1 hr with an assistant and another hour with my advisor. It was very useful esp for my wife even though her accounts are not at Fido. The meeting dod include an annuity softsell. They have access to other products like LTC and Medicare Supplements, and Legacy planning. We met with the LTC guy and will schedule meetings with the others which are sales meeting for those services but should all be softsell presentations. I do believe some of their people can be pushy but I have not experienced that.

TimeTravelingChris

The only fast crypto like LTC basically have to circumvent the real time ledger and essentially have a settlement period. But if you are doing that you basically just created a debit card transaction with a lot more steps and still a lot slower.

Im_Still_Here12

Past 5 years?? I mined both LTC and BTC back in 2012 and still hold quite a bit. I made out alright... I still think it's nothing more than a storage of wealth. I don't see it taking off anytime soon as far as payments go. It's too cumbersome to use and there are no consumer fraud protections available like there are for credit card purchases.

Blackpaw8825

Our understanding at the time was that it would limit the reimbursement at the provider level. Which does nothing for the fact we're buying at whatever rate from our wholesaler. The inflation reduction act targeted the WAC/AWP of certain drugs, which both limited the wholesale cost and the retail caps, and the reimbursement. That's the way to do it. If you just cap Medicaid/Medicare reimbursement for things we're going to have to stop buying them (e.g. if you want to pay me $80 for a month of Eliquis that I'm still buying from Cardinal at roughly WAC rates, my options are to lose over $200 on that sale, or just stop selling it. If we stop selling it, then the LTC patients who would get it from us will be discharged to hospital, killing the hospital system and pushing the financial cost off to the hospital... Until you either kill somebody or you hit a provider who refuses to contract Medicare and Medicaid and can then legally service the patient without insurance demanding the higher rate.) Having written that parenthetical, this is a way to make Medicare useless isn't it? Make contacting with Medicare so unsustainable that we all drop Medicare, which kills the smaller providers by lost business, and the survivors kill Medicare because it's too useless for the poor and unusable by the wealthy.

UpDownLeftRightABLoL

Dividends are taxed as income. Unless it is a Return of Capital (your basis will go down), a qualified dividend (it was from a municipal bond or something), or if it's actually a distribution and is LTC gains or STC gains. If you really want to control the reported amount of income, you might want to consider a loss harvesting approach or having a withholding applied to your dividends.

I work in this field and despise how predatory it is, but I feel like this is a bit of a broad brush. It’s much more the state that ensures they end up with nothing, not the facilities themselves. The average cost for a decent facility in my area is about $250/day. That provides for all of their direct care and needs. Most people can’t pay that for years, so they need Medicaid. The state won’t let you use Medicaid unless you’re practically destitute, though there are loopholes that can be taken advantage of at least five years before application to preserve assets. It’s Medicaid that forces the sale of homes and property, and forces any assets to be directed toward care. Facilities don’t “take” them, the state does. There are times where facilities or services can collect on the estate if there’s an outstanding balance but that’s after the person passes away. What you’re describing with adjustments based on income is very much illegal. There’s even a documentary called Better Call Saul that touches on this issue and the ramifications for facilities that are caught doing it. I’m not saying it never happens but it’s not a common practice. At least not in nursing homes, I can’t speak for Assisted Living. Anyone with parents or other loved ones with assets who are approaching the age where a LTC facility may be a necessity should immediately meet with an attorney specializing in elder law and financial planning. There are trusts and other options that can shield their money and assets as long as it’s done at least five years before an application to Medicaid is needed. That way their assets and inheritance aren’t wiped out and they still get the care they need. My facility actually advises people how to protect their assets. Most people working in the field have no desire to see someone’s entire life wiped out and hate that this is the system we’re forced to work within. Unfortunately most of the folks this age continue to vote against their own interests and have for years. This is what they wanted.

Heya, Ontarionion here. I'm not even going to sugar coat it. I look forward to war with your country, Yankee. If someone had told me a few months ago that bagging Americans like deer was going to by retirement plan I probably woulda had some hesitation about that notion. Now I view it through a lens of great eagerness. Dying old in a LTC facility didn't sound appealing anyway.

Robinhood perma banned my crypto account for sending $7 in LTC to pay for Mullvad VPN. Something I’ve done every month for about a year. 5 days later they perma banned my trading account. They said the only way to withdraw my positions is so liquidate them. And then request an ACH. Which of course is a major, fucking, taxable event.

Pay off debt. Put remainder in a cashable GIC ladder for a year while you think, make plans and get advice. Properly,Set up your wills, POA, insurance, ADD, LTC etc See a fee only CFP and get clear understood independent advice before doing ANYTHING ELSE. One plan might be: Invest the rest with a market etf with minimal fees. Eg 750 at 6% for 20 yrs to retirement should yield 2.4 M$ that can generate an income of 96,000 per year safety. Maximize the use of TSFA AND RRSP accounts to hold your investments and maximize tax savings. Learn about all this stuff before doing it.

MillennialDeadbeat

Narrative has shifted. Bitcoin recovery is in swing. Weak hands got shaken out and institutional buyers got Bitcoin at a discount. Now it's primed to pump. LTC - Litecoin ETF was approved recently and LTC was ripping up while rest of crypto pumped. Read the room.

They wouldn’t tell me. It happened after I sent $7 in LTC to pay for a VPN. I’ve done it every month for a year. I believe I wasn’t holding enough and never sold. So Robinhood declared I was unprofitable and banned me. Just my guess.

I've done my own research. Hence the questions you refuse to answer. Blockchain technology adds a layer of unnecessary complexity that will be positively impossible to switch to without global world war. But yeah, for sure, you're early, just HODL, billionaire status. Answer this question "dude." If you couldn't sell your BTC/DOGE/LTC/ETH/insertshitcoinhere for USD, would you have bought it? If it's a revolutionary technology that's going to free us from the shackles of capitalism or some other horseshit fantasy you all concoct on the daily, why do people only care what it's worth in USD? Because fucking _duh_ it's a grift!!! Grifts can last decades. Good luck getting out when you need to. And I'll say it so you don't have to - enjoy being poor.

so you're telling me you have 20 days worth of LTC worth of stocks....dafuq is this the LTC mob is gonna wreck you personally

blaineosiris

This is the correct answer to this DD. Until there is stability and actual long term funding increases, this sector is going to struggle, and our elderly are going to be literally left out in the cold. There will be a shift, but it won’t be in favor of private, for profit firms getting paid to care for the elderly. It’ll either become ‘universal health care’ or it’ll be denied entirely, depending on how future elections go. This is a dying *private* industry. LTC is not going away, the profitable LTC industry is going away.

What about the current administration's plans to eliminate ACA, Medicaid, Medicare and SSA? Fewer doctors cashing checks and more old people dying sooner from receiving less LTC? How does this factor in? Serious question, I'll hang up and take my answer off the air.

buried_lede

Oops, I meant long term care insurance. Because it helps pay for expensive care if you are really sick and need lots of assistance that isn’t paid for by health insurance. It can help keep you out of a nursing home Say you have a stroke and need to hire a helper to come to your house every day while you are recovering. LTC Insurance might cover half the cost or more, saving you from having to draw down your capital, perhaps Not everyone buys it and not all plans are created equal but some people feel it can really help and some employees offer it. It’s not something you should necessarily buy when you are young though

_Significant_Otters_

I'm seeking input on investment strategy to cover my disabled father's long-term care expenses. We're in NC. He's currently 65. The goal is to extend longevity of his funds with the understanding they will eventually deplete if he lives another 15+ years. He currently has a 401k with $440k. Its holdings and performance are fine. He'll soon receive about 175k net from the sale of his home, which is where I'm stuck. He has a checking account for expense payments. I need some dollar amount (estimating around 2k per month) to supplement his 401k disbursements, social security, and military retirement to break even. I'm wondering what exactly to do with the 175k to extend its longevity to the greatest extent possible and maximize any possible interest earnings between pulling money out of whatever investment vehicle and cutting a check to his long term care facility. Maybe some investment type that allows check payments out of a high interest account so they can earn interest until the check is cashed? The demand for 2k per month will increase over time as his facility increases their fees. It will also eventually be offset by VA aid and attendance once his assets are drawn down to where he'll finally qualify. Lastly, taxes aren't an issue. His LTC expenses are high enough that he'll be due a sizeable refund in year 1 of being in the facility. Once I know what that refund is, I'll update his 401k tax withholding to break even on his annual tax filing.
