I have a strong feeling the market is going to get better in just a couple months, but I dont know where to start when it comes to investing into stocks. Does anyone recommend a good place to start? Webo? Robinhood?
I was told that AI, nvidia, and ETF is good. I have no idea, but if any based frens know any tips please let us know. We all wanna flourish and prosper in this Trump economy!
is it also too late to buy with the dip trump sent out last night?
That's something you can mumble to yourself as you push a shopping cart around the city. Don't get me wrong. I very intentionally structured my business to be small. Specifically for the life with my family that it afforded me. Never missed a game or an award or anything. I was always able to cut free to golf with my dad or help a neighbor, but there comes a time, especially if you own a home, that you damn well better prepare for. Sentimental ideas are great, but they won't keep the government from stealing your home if you can't afford their rental money. The doctor won't care about your broken hip if you neglected to plan for such an occasion.
My kid is now an adult, and I have to keep my nose to the grindstone weekdays and ends to make up for the life luxuries I afforded myself. Unfortunately, no one is cutting checks for understanding what is truly important in this world. Fortunately, I love what I do. I am as happy work8ng as when I am not. I don't regret a moment. Although, I wish I had understood more about investing. I worked at Whole Foods when they went public. I had an opportunity to buy as many as four hundred shares at eight dollars a share. I invested in family friends and loved ones. OP has a very legitimate question.
Interesting reply. Im not arguing any of your logic but you bring up many circumstantial and hypothetical points that would vary, unique to the individual.
I view gambling and investing as a completely unnecessary risk, and could be viewed as immoral to some folks even.
My simple comment was true and also very legitimate. You mentioned, and I paraphrase: "what if I had invested in this business early on and made tons of money?" Well, you didn't. And if you had, it would've changed the course and outcome of every event personal to you.... and you have no idea if for the better or not. Cause/effect universally is an enigma. We do not know what our actions could potentially lead to. Happiness and devastation are of equal probability.
Also an interesting response. The only part I may have any issue with is the last statement. With the right understanding happiness can be inevitable. Even if it has to travel through devastation. I could lose everything dear tomorrow. It is my responsibility to find a point in time where I become happy again because I was so blessed to have it to lose. Anything less would be to disrespect that. Fortune would not change any of that. Money may not buy happiness, but it can enhance it. Money buys time. The most precious of commodities.
Nice, appreciate the reply. Eloquent and concise, commendable.
I have to agree with your mantra, as it is recognizable and relatable in relation to making one's own outcomes. Without getting into any kind of fate paradox or philosophy, I was attempting to highlight the random unforeseeable outcomes of altering the past and/or using any means or methods in an attempt to shape a different (personal) future.
Cause = effect. We can all try to be better, do better, strive for better.... and we all should. That's a whole different ballgame. However, while doing this we must accept and recognize that negative outcomes may occur. Especially so considering massive amounts of moolah.
E.g: Anon decides to pull 401K and dump it all into stonks. Stonks go lunar. Anon is rich now with FU money. Anon buys fancy meme car. Anon's loved one gets murdered during carjacking.
I know... ridiculously oversimplified example. But, that's the beauty of the universal unknown and how the divine timeline both adapts to our actions and shapes future pathing. We think we know something like what may have been imagined as nice or best for a moment.... but in truth we know very little. Today's boon may be tomorrow's detriment. Or it could lead to a zenith of unbridled happiness!
Excellent conversing with you fren! May your weekend be blessed!
Enjoyable read. You, too, have a good weekend. This has been refreshing.
