My 12 month return is beating the SMP500 by over 20% because I sold everything at the start of the Trump Tariff War
I am starting to invest in retirement but unsure where to go.
SMP Flatten out around 2000? or lower? what’s different from 1930 tariffs?
What happens if you buy days before but your order is filled after gains?

Hahah okay, I think I can increase my SMP by more
So I should increase my SMP investment as much as I can?
So more into the SMP for example?
Ok thanks, do you think the split between SMP and emerging is good?
Well base it on the historical return of the SMP, that’ll be about half a mil by the time they’re 60 and retired. A lot better than the previous system
Any time i see a stock like those move up 50% i sell off 5-1O% and move it to safe stock, ( bank, ETF, SMP, ) w/e you think is typically safe stocks and feel good about securing tendies.
Strait of Hormuz SMP prediction Sounds less like trading and more like rolling dice in a hurricane.
There is noting to gain from following the advice (for investing, trading sure )in here. I say that with LOVE for this subreddit If this is a real post there are zero reasons not to invest. There are no legal reasons to not invest. Your firm probably has policies. If you work for a broker dealer, you just have to get permission first, and they will tell you where you can open your account ,if they have rules on that. You are most likely have to have your statements in sent to them every time you do a trade. That being said if you’re just starting out, don’t trade just invest. Set an automatic deposit of 50 bucks to 100 bucks a week if you can and just buy SMP ETFs and never fucking sell.
With $3 million you were set for life you could’ve bought shares in the SMP and live off the interest
As my friend pointed out to me yesterday. We are only down 4% on the SMP500, and we have an undeniable energy crisis coming up. At times like this you could easily have a drop of 5% in one day. I bought the dip last year and made a nice return but with all the market manipulation I get the feeling “they” want us to think this is the same when in fact a lot of macro is looking pretty bad.
SMP down 4% for the year is very mild compared to the energy crisis consequences of what has already been broken in this war. Just shows how disconnected the stock market is from the general normal people economy.
SMP500 is down 4% for the year, this doesn’t reflect an oil and energy crisis. If thats what we are in for, we should see a proper 20-50%.
And no one guarantees that SMP will be viable in 50 years (it's unlikely that it will disappear, but still risk in a 50 year time frame).
This is a over bought market. After close yesterday, my SMP short term oscillator was at +4.4 which indicates overbought territory.
Does anyone have the meme with bears getting excited over a tiny drop of the SMP500?
I sold my house in 2024 and put 90% of my equity in the SMP500 and Nasdac. Should I pull it and buy assests? Another house and rent it? Gold and Silver? $200k
It’s an “apples and oranges” comparison. You invest in an SMP oriented etf for long term value and growth. You invest in dividend etfs because they generate a reliable dividend. Personally I think it’s a good idea to do both, but it completely depends in your own circumstances. If you are younger, then focus on long term value and growth. If you are near retirement, a dividend focused portfolio makes more sense.
The S&P 500 (not SMP500) is an excellent core choice for long-term investing. With a 20-year horizon, you're positioning yourself well for compound growth. Consider a low-cost index ETF like VOO or SPY. For diversification, you might add: - 10-20% international stocks (VXUS/VEA) - 10-15% in bonds (gradually increasing as you age) Your Bitcoin allocation makes sense as a small speculative position (<5%). Just ensure you understand wallet security and storage. Most important: automate regular contributions regardless of market conditions. Time in the market beats timing the market, especially over 20 years.
🚗 Yesterday, the Fed released the Beige Book. Regarding the Overall Economic Activity, it mentions "The auto sector noted flat to slightly higher sales, while **consumer demand increased for parts and services to repair older vehicles."** Potential plays that might directly benefit from this trend: GPC, AZO, ORLY, AAP, DORM, SMP.
This is only 1 indicator,and the market change over time.What about the hundreds of others indicators on that times?This game not that simple, nothing is black or white.The SMP biggest part the Mag7 and atm they are not 100+ P/E and they have stable revenue growth.Some of the AI companies is overpriced and probably bubble (PLTR,and a lot small AI companies),but even if that stocks crash 90%,that is not gonna hit the index that hard as most of you think.
SMP will never go down it’s too OP don’t care
I’m down 5k in options and I quit. I just got solid job and been pouring my paychecks into the SMP and Ethereum since SPY was like 450. That’s how I made the money back.
An investment these days that is very safe but will show positive progress is a High Yield Savings Account. There are banks out there offering 4.3% with no minimum. It's not the SMP500 but it's a good place to put your money as you learn where to invest.

Didnt you ever go to Carvel Ice cream SMP sundae. Its new Sausage,Mustard, and Potato Sundae. All kids love Sundaes. The $500 part is what it cost after all the inflation.
Econ degree who calls it the SMP
So are you just like 8 years old or do you genuinely believe it’s call the “SMP”? I guess you could be regarded but I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt
I think the bottom is in this past week. SMP closed up higher for the first time since liberation day.
Honestly? I'm buying slowly. I have a bit in a SMP500 etf (and slowly adding monthly to a international etf to diversify kinda) and most of my money in individual stocks. Every 10% they go down, I buy. I'm Gen Z and 23. I'm going to go big or go home. I can't afford to buy a house anyways, don't see anything else worth buying as a store of value or money generation and I live with my loving parents so I don't have much to lose lol. I'm young so hopefully things get better with time...All I need to do is hold onto my job and keep adding...
Hello! I’m new to investing but have familiarized myself with the space. My goal: To invest a sum of money each month into ETFs automatically. This way, I build my money and invest hassle free. I am not someone who wants to look at the market every day. “Invest and forget”, and build money over time. Q1: I know everyone asks “which ETF to pick”, but even after reading several posts about this topic, I’ll admit it’s still confusing as a first timer. Can I pick any top one and be safe? What are the key differences to know about? Q2: I read that only some apps offer automated ETFs. Since I just want to put a sum of money every month into the ETF, should I just go with whichever one that is? Q3: I see so many people talking about diversifying among index funds (30% here 10% here, etc). How important is that vs just choosing one ETF to put money in. I figured ETF is already diverse enough if I do SMP 500 Thank you!!
Bro how do you not know this it’s bigger than the dow. SMP is the Simps Money Pool.
Should look into replacement/aftermarket automotive parts suppliers/distributors. People trying to keep their existing vehicle running longer instead of buying new. $DORM $SMP $ORLY $AZO I believe the average age of vehicles on the road is continuing to increase.
I literally only started investing around 3 weeks ago. 5k into the all cap and 3k in the SMP. I’m going to stay in for the long run but is it worth me cutting my £80 loss now and re buying when the market gets lower?
Hi there, i have 500k invested in interactive brokers and I am looking to open up an account with another broker because the SIPC protection is not active above 500k. I am not a US resident (i’m swedish but will be moving to Paraguay in 2 months). I would like to avoid us-based ETFs because of the 15% dividend tax and the Estate tax above $60k. Any suggestions for brokers that have Ireland based ETF that tracks SMP500, that would allow me to open up account and then change address to Paraguayan address? Thanks all!🙏
What does that mean? Bad or good for SMP
Rich hedgefund guys definitely laugh at day traders trying to add reason to why lines go up or down. The guy who says to buy the SMP and never look again is by far the smartest…
Why would investors buy Berkshire stock just to have them buy an SMP index fund? They could just buy it the index fund directly if that's what they wanted.
Anyone else by SMCI cause they have a SMP?
Your advice is really solid thank you so much! =) I still have sooooo much to learn but just in the short time since I posted this I have learnt so much more than I knew on the date that I posted this and although I still know very little I am way better with the terminology (Still working on it) and also more confident in my decisions In regards to selling stock I am really trying not to do that just because I plan to just invest into Growth ETF's over time for a very long duration with a focus on IVV which tracks the S&P500 but if I made a dumb mistake I do have a friend who has made millions in stocks who is helping me at the moment so I'd probably ask him what he would advise me to do but he is more a friend of a friend so I do not want to bug him too much although he is generally happy to help Did you invest in ETF's or single shares in one Company? I almost made some hard lessons myself when I wanted to buy the S&P500 and did not realize the IVV tracks the SMP500 on the ASX and almost bought S&P500 on the NY Exchange I would have had to do two Tax Returns and it would have been an absolute nightmare trade I am so glad I spoke to that friend of a friend who asked me what the fuck I was doing before I could stay up all night waiting for the NY Exchange to open so I could screw myself over lol...! Yeah having invested $40k into Stocks at a volatile time in the Market does have me a bit worried and for this reason I am doing way more research every day before I make any further investments or even put more into the S&P500 and I also want to Dollar Cost Average my way into the S&P when I do decide to start depositing money into the ETF's again so it feels a little more controlled in comparison to just dumping half my savings into Stocks in one go like I did I do want to invest long term definitely but feel I already put in quite a lot with to be 100% honest not a lot of research aside from what Stocks are good (Too little research to be honest) and mainly going off the friend of a friend who has made millions on the stock market so fortunately the ones I did end up choosing ended up looking solid because of this only September and October being sketchy times plus the Election coming up has me worried for sure but hopefully there is no new great depression right as I have entered the Market Definitely still working on my terminology haha, I did mean I paid the Broker 21K but had to wait until the ASX opened to be able to buy the IVV during trading hours which I've done now I'm pretty sure it was a bad idea to put such a large amount of money in straight away but I mean its done now and the plan is for it to be a long term investment so hopefully it works out for me, I was very careful with the ETF's I decided to spend the money on so in theory it should be a good investment regardless of me being reckless and putting too much $ in to start with I've been using Youtube a lot but find that some of the videos are super beginner and stuff I already know (Which I am a begginer but I mean like, I know what an ETF IS tell me more detailed information so I've switched from Youtube for a bit to ASX course on their Website the Betashare Courses on their website and some really good Websites my mate sent me like passiveinvestingaustralia and other PDF's and stuff like that which really go into things but I also do like chatting to people on Reddit such as yourself that have been doing it for years because if I did not make this post I would not have ever gotten your awesome reply to my post which has accelerated my learning by quite a bit, but I try not put too much weight on stuff random people on Reddit will say to me but definitely do try value their opinions because generally at this point I would say 99% of people in Stocks probably know more than I do currently Yeah I will have to start looking at the percentages more because losing $79 today annoyed me after making $50 the day before with a $40k portfolio but in the grand scheme of things its not a big percentage of my actual portfolio, it will likely go back up and I'm in it for the long term. I made the mistake already when I was heavily into Cryptocurrency of letting my emotions drive my decisions to buy and sell and although I made money in Crypto I could have had a hell of a lot more if I was not so damn emotional every time it went down or I worried for no reason but now I am glad I made that mistake because I learnt from it and it will make me better at investing in ETF shares and not make rash decisions when things are not looking great Thank you so much for your reply I really appreciate all help while I am trying to learn the safest way to get most of my money into Stocks to start making solid future returns it means a lot
I'm always confused why people don't pull out at this point. You put 2 mil into the SMP, and there is 200 grand a year passively and you never work again.
No. I was congratulating you on outperforming Standard Motors Products (SMP).
If this is just the stocks part of your portfolio, I think you're doing good but I would personally cut back on most of the positions, I have a single stock right now and at any given time I have maybe 3 if I'm feeling good about 3 specific companies, I think you should put half of it somewhere safe like bonds or SMP and half of it into a handful of stocks you can really delve deep into assuming you have other things going on in life it's just a lot more manageable to keep track of the earnings and balance sheets and that type of stuff of a handful of companies, also I don't like people telling you to just put it in the SMP right now because we're in a huge bull market, the SMP usually has a down-run and that's where the average 8% return comes from, since this year it would've been a lot more than 8% it's likely at some point it will come down by a lot and we'll see much more realistic returns, if you genuinely want to just keep your money there until you retire it's not as big an issue but still something to consider tbh.
I know I'm just done with the risk, but I'm not waiting 3 years for an SMP500 long to pay off
I you were in the 2017 DGO fund 50% will be liquidated (FG-DGO) while 50% you keep (FG-SMP I think). If you are in the MBW you look to be out of luck. If you don’t have the liquidity for the tax hit may need to sell enough to cover the tax hit and then use he rest to buy back in with lower shares. It’s looking more and more like the liquidation is non contestable (still exploring with legal council) but the question off $112 is Fair Market Value looks not to be as clear.
Okay gotcha. I had a brain bleed earlier apparently... I read these. As like 410 11 $12 strikes. I was like there's no way to SMP loses 25% in an hour right? What am I missing? 😂
You never and I mean never invest in one singular company like this. If you had spread this out into SMP500 you would’ve been set for life, I’d assume you’ll still be set for life considering how fortunate you are but with this method you could lose half if not more VERY RAPIDLY.
Interesting to see what happens when semiconductors and AI hype aren’t carrying the market. More than 33% of the SMP 500 gains this year were purely NVDA. Now that semiconductors are having red days too, market is taking a hit and not constantly hitting a V. NVDA earnings are honestly huge. Will the AI hype carry us up another leg or will the growth finally slow… I mean what can Jensen say at this point. We know revenue is going to grow. The stock already split. Market is pricing in the last quarters which more than surpassed expectations. But then again, wouldn’t be surprised if Jensen introduces a new sector like AI robotic revenue that have their back log filled for years.
The SMP 500 will crash for sure. Good thing it’s not the S&P 500.
Don't buy any individual stocks. Buy an index like the SMP500.
No it wouldn’t. It’s 130 at 3 trillion, 300 NVDA would be 7 trillion MC. You seriously think it’s unreasonable for the hottest tech company to trade at the same rate the SMP is expect to 
I'd prob only invest exactly what they match and do the rest yourself. Also for options make sure you manage the 401k yourself and pick your own stuff SMP option is really the only one to chose from that doesn't suck. The rest you can do a Roth IRA and deposit 7k a year. Or just keep it in cash in a broker of your choice. Buy your own good stock. Like Nvidia. Dell Apple etc. when I compare these type of stocks directly to the SMP 500 I'm like why do people even bother with putting money into it for 7-20 percent profit a year. Vas50-100 plus percent these amazing other companies are doing
The obvious answer is something that tracks the SMP500
SMP 
Have you invested in SMP? How do I do so?
Also A 20 year old student in law, Honestly most secure returns are SMP (average 8% lifetime over 30 years), gold or realeastate. GO WITH SMP
You are talking SMP, not spy, so your weighting is all messed up and also, you did not say in relation to spy. You said only the top 10 stocks perform and the rest do nothing. A good chunk of stocks in the SMP 500 have outperformed the SMP 500. Not just the top ten.
That's probably because Buffet is not trying to beat SMP 500 atm, since the SMP is mostly tech and Buffet isn't interested in anything but Apple for the most part, in that area. They beat it you don't count fees over 20 years.
In no particular order... Cost, FICO, Moody's, SMP global, chipotle, AJG, vistra, constellation software, constellation energy, equitable bank, ACN, GFL / WM, Amazon, google, apple, Microsoft, topicus, tfi international, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, train technologies, Equifax, nu bank, Lululemon, ASML, Cintas, Roper technologies, Brookfield corp/asset management, American tower, home depot, Vanguard, Intuit, Autodesk, crowd strike, paloalto, CN Rail, CP rail, brk-b, and Goldman sacks / Charles Schwab.
Did you mean you bought a S&P 500 *mutual fund*? And it went up 0.22% on Monday? I really doubt you bought the “SMP500”, especially on Saturday.
Youll want to reach out to the CEO of SMP500 to get a ruling
If we are looking at steady compounders I would pick Moody's corp, constilation software, Brookfield corporation / Brookfield asset management, TFI international, SMP global and as a wild card, throw in NU Bank. Not the sexiest company's but I would expect good returns for long term growth, especially if you have a drip set up.
DORM is relatively safe. They have things like door handles, wiring harnesses, and ignition components that are still on all vehicles. I still like SMP better despite being more focused on ICE specific components. AAP was, is, and will continue to be a dumpster fire. Management is always clueless and usually outsiders to to the industry that don’t understand what shops want. Their attempts to bring more brands in house have always failed resulting in market share losses. I used to cover aftermarket automotive stocks. So I know way too much about the space. On EVs though what really matters is cars outside warranty. For middle to lower income it’ll be a while before EVs take over this demographic with how expensive they are and impractical in the Midwest outside larger cities. Also more than half of sales at these guys are to auto shops not DIY. They’re really just hyper efficient auto parts supply chains. Can get you just about anything in day and common items in 20 minutes dropped off at the shop.
I'm happy to tell you, that you've been the only person averaging more than the SMP over the last three years
Well I started my investing journey this year and my SMP500 etf has returned me 5.5% while I've made about a 12% return on my individual stocks and plays so far. So not too bad imo...
Swap it into something like SMP500 and earn interests over time.
That’s at least 13% a year, you’re beating the SMP 5-100
Investing through the bank or through a online banker? Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to investing but I want to invest in long term etfs, indexes and stocks but I'm not sure what I should do. My friend says he invests into the SMP500 through his bank but I can do that through the online broker Vanguard. Is there any benefit to doing it through the bank? Also what is your preferred online broker? Right now I'm using Trading212 and Etoro but 212 has such high forex fees and Etoro has a very limited range of stocks. I want to invest in things like Nuclear indexes, etc. Thanks for your time!
SMP probably just refers to "Share Matching". Are you in the US? And/or is your employer a US company? A lot of the comments here - including my own assume US based plans and tax treatment.
I don’t know if it is either esop or espp. It’s just labeled as. “SMP” in company literature. You buy shares and hold them for 3 years, and then after 3 years you get rewarded 1 share for every 3 owned.
SMP Oscillators are identifying this as a late stage mega bottom. We will be at 385 by eod
This is sooo dumb if you’re being genuine. The S&P has lost a quarter of its value, do you think this time is different? How many times has the SMP fallen more than 25% in less than a year?
Hey there, very new to investing, and I'd like some input on a retirement investment plan. I have about $4,500 available to invest at the moment, and after talking to my grandfather (an economist), I've come to the conclusion that I want to put $1,500 into an existing Roth IRA (currently Federal Money Market) that currently has $1,500, once it's at $3,000 I'll change it to a VTSAX Index Fund. With the remaining $3,000, my grandfather recommended I invest in a Roth Gold and Silver IRA in case things go downhill with the SMP 500. I've read that most experts advise that precious metals only make up 5-10% of one's investment, but keep in mind that the $3,000 is a starting point, and I'll be contributing significantly less to the precious metals Roth IRA than I will the Index Fund Roth IRA in the future. Is this a solid plan when it comes to investing for retirement? Does this plan work well for someone who doesn't want to spend a ton of time or energy on investing? How much should I be contributing per paycheck based on my income? Also please let me know if I have anything completely wrong, as I said, I'm very new to this. My grandfather is also quite old, so if he was off on anything, take it easy on him lol. More info: How old are you? What country do you live in? 21, United States Are you employed/making income? How much? Currently employed at an hourly rate, each biweekly paycheck is between $800-$1000 What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?) Retirement What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs? 40 years What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?) Definitely prefer safety with moderate gains What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors? Any other assets?) No, though I'm currently trying to save for a down payment on a house. Any big debts (include interest rate) or expenses? No debt
SHORT THE SMP WITH A LOAN. not financial advice
I remember the 2008.com bubble trust me trust me your situation is not that bad take the 6 grand put it in the SMP large cap 500 wait for the market to settle down then you can get into some growth biotech things like that later Imagine what the people felt like when they were buying Amazon at 20 bucks
Standard Motor Products. SMP. They make the car parts you buy at Autozone and Oreilly's. Incredibly well run company, super cheap, steadily growing, pays a solid dividend. And with the market the way it is, people are going to be repairing rather than buying or leasing, so they have a tailwind.
Where can I trade this SMP?
Austin Scott Brain Mast French Hill John Curtis Dan Crenshaw All these dudes beat the SMP better than Nancy in 2021. All members of the GOP. The corruption is beyond party lines.
why be scared when you can be excited, imagine all the money you'll make off cyrpto while you can also slither your way into the SMP 500.
It's too niche of a market yet to start packing bags. Huge potential in the machine itself (I'd love one in my own shop), but SMP machines are strictly for prototyping. There's too many gaps and voids to be used as structural components, and that's an engineer's bread and butter. That's why when you visit their website and try to see the cost of a machine, you can't until you talk to sales...because if you see how much it costs for nothing more than sample parts, you would find another way. I don't want to be bearish on it, but I know from being in the field that the tech isn't quite where it needs to be yet for a full moonshot. Still a couple years away. Even if they did have the process patented, which they don't, the tech that would be patented wouldn't be up to a real world environment. The only worthwhile patents they could have are design patents, and we all know how often designs change.
Damn My computer somehow corrects S&P to SMP every time I write it idk why. Thanks for the feedback though!
The only dumb part of your post is that you called the S&P the SMP. But in general, I think we’ll see. Bullish bounce back. Think of all the fear over unknowns we faced in January and February. We had no idea how the Fed would react to inflation. Russia and Ukraine tensions were building up. Now that we have a better idea of what the next few months will look like, I think fear will begin to temper down a bit, which could be good for the market.
Maybe wrong sub but... I have a active investment retirement (Roth/IRA) account with Ameriprise. I was going to move it over to a Vanguard target date fund to drop the 1% fee. The financial advisor has me now looking at their "Structured Solutions Annuity", which is a new product only 24 months old. In mid 30s so a long horizon on this. My understanding is that the SSA is a variable-rate that tracks market (SMP, Russell, or MSCI EAFE) with a 6yr segment cap. No fees. Being sold that the pros are you can leverage the 6yr segment cap with a buffer, which would eat your gain should the market realize the gain. Example, the SMP 10% buffer product has a 6yr cap of 200%. Advisor is then telling me that the 6yr gain on the SMP averaged over 30 years (not sure how this math was done) is only 67% so basically all gain in this product and the buffer protects in event of historic downturn like in 2008. Ameriprise makes money by "borrowing" your money. Advisor gets paid by Ameriprise for a finders fee. Googling Annuities, looks like the downsides are generally 1) high fees and 2) cap on return. This product seems to address both of these issues and also seems too good to be true, which is generally a red flag. It's also really new. Any thoughts? Questions I should be poking at?
Dang I didn't even know this existed and will definitely check it out. Sounds relatively sound though !! High dividend return and "relative" risk adverse safety. What is the fund expense and things of that nature? Would it be better off just in a zero (low) cost index SMP? I'd just try to calculate the opportunity cost and make a decision that way?
I am a bot from /r/wallstreetbets. You submitted one or more banned tickers: SMP. Message /u/zjz if they're above 1.5 billion-ish market cap and not related to crypto/pennies/OTC/SPACs.
