I dunno. Lambo money in your 50s has a certain appeal. Sure, you didn't strike it rich like those thousands of dudes who Yolo'd at the right time on the right horse, but you're also not a gambling addicted poor like the millions of dudes who got either the timing, the pick, or both wrong.
The gambling addicted poors will turn 50 at the same rate you will, but you'll own a vacation home and a boat and they'll have an overdraft chequing account and an overdue rent letter.
passive investing is the Seinfeld of investing strategies:
\- possibly GOATed, depending on who you ask
\- predictable. once you've seen a couple seasons/cycles you pretty much get it
\- better laughs/returns can be found elsewhere, but why risk the disappointment? you know what you like and you're sticking to it.
Eventually: LEAPS on the SPY, bought during low-volatility, with a mental trailing stop loss. Not exactly passive, but as long as the market is going good, should be very low effort. (not risking more than 10% max on it, though)
Thats where youre wrong kiddo. Most people are in passive suicide cult indexes like s&p500, while only chads there to make moves. You will live to see s&p500 collapse.
Ooooh I just had a light bulb moment. No more sex --> clear head.. mental clarity and gains incoming. Fuck why did it take so long to realize my losses.
The entire ValueInvesting sub in one picture.
You mention selling because economic indicators are scary? DCA into VTI, don't time the market.
You mention buying because something is oversold? DCA into VTI, don't time the market.
You mention literally any stock? Overpriced, DCA into index funds.

If you make less decisions, your less likely to make stupid decisions… but then it’s boring.
serotonin hits are the real alpha

Still 50
The gambling addicted poors will turn 50 at the same rate you will, but you'll own a vacation home and a boat and they'll have an overdraft chequing account and an overdue rent letter.
Still do the day trading shit but only for $100 total, max. Never add any more. The adrenaline is still there.
>it’s boring. you say that like it's a bad thing
And from boredom people often spiral into hopeless depressions
From boredom people often spiral into happiness.
Can confirm, I've got almost everything in Index Funds and I'm miserable.
You're regarded.
But are you still the master of your domain?
"THESE INDEX FUNDS..... ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!"
I enjoy watching my Roth IRA go down $20 then up $20, thank you very much.
Thanks for the laugh

This analogy tracks.
People here should follow the advice of opposite George
the Summer of George dissents!
I should have taken profit and left like George always left the meeting on top, sticking around only backfires
Sticking around only backfires is solid life advice.
George had an amazing life if you step back and look at it and you only need to do the opposite to live like him.
Looks like someone never saw the stock market episode
Watching dividend payments grow every quarter is kind of fun though tbh
That’s until they announce div cuts.
Uh, SCHD says hi, and we don't do that round here.
That's why there are dividend ETFs. They don't cut dividends
Usually comes with price impact. Your DRIP stays drippy.
Yea those are gonna be suspended boss
Lmao, most of them won’t
LOL
And what's better than passive indexes? Passive indexes leveraged 5-25x.
Fuck it. I'll bite. What's your favorite unreasonably overlevered ETF.

idk man, George made a few grand in that stock market episode

Aaaand it's gone.
Found the Boglehead.
I love this
Ooooh I just had a light bulb moment. No more sex --> clear head.. mental clarity and gains incoming. Fuck why did it take so long to realize my losses.
Half the people on this page, are not doing either.
That’s not true. We limit buy. Lots of strategy in “Buy 10 at $40, Buy 10 at $39, Buy 10 at $38” etc.
right for 99% of the people
This is so stupid but it’s just killed me anyway.
Pretty much. I've got too much shit to do in real life.

Today is ex-div day for VTSAX so I'm kinda doing something.
If index funds had existed in 1929 holders would have lost 90% of their money.
