You know the markets just suck up savings and capital from local economies into fascist global corporate models. Meanwhile local economies where people work for wages die on the vine.

But support whatever you want, it's a free world right?

Its true. My nasdaq 100 fund is my best performing over the last 10 years. One thing I learned in college is that very, very few funds are able to beat the indices consistently.

If you get overwhelmed by the markets, just stick with index funds and you'll do very well over the long haul.

For the record, the rule of 72 says your money doubles in 6 years at 12%......72/12 =6, not 6.5.

Re: If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%
if you dont mind, walk us all through this like we are all on day one

so we have $1000. What do we do? specifically. Like what app, what way do you make your investment? Then what do you specifically invest in? for example just "nasdaq" or specific things within "nasdaq"

so you have $1000, you end up with $2000 (im using round figures here) then what? you take it out, how much do you actually get out after taxes and fees?

Im not looking for specific numbers, just round figures and a bullet point list.

Thats something Ive not come across and I think it would help a lot of people get started

The key is to produce enough income, live way below your means, take a sizeable chunk of cash that is saved and put it to work in investments. Take a small portion and put it in saving as an emergency fund/cover living expenses so you're not forced to worry about your investments. At a certain point you're going to start earning more money from your investments rather than your job.

What the bottom 80% do is this. Their job is their main, usually only, source of income. It is the worst taxed form of income. They do not invest the money, they spend and consume. They have zero emergency fund. Inflation only affects the low and middle class because paychecks don't magically go up to beat inflation. Investments, however, can significantly offset any loss in purchasing power.

that's a yep. There's no such thing as cherry picking in trading. If you got in you can get out any time and take profit. You're just a soreloser. DASH started at 20 CENTS and is now $140 you're out of your fucking mind.

Underperforming but if you got 1000 DASH when it was cheap you're making 6-8% per year with a masternode OUT PERFORMING THE NASDAQ, which doesn't give staking and service rewards.

8% of 140k is 11k every year just for running a server. THAT'S WHY DASH.

Re: If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%
Look at these three charts, if you need proof, and average the three big indices:

DOW for 2019-2021= 22.3 + 18.9 + 7.2 = 16.13%

S&P 500 2019-2021= 28.9 + 26.9 + 16.3 = 24.03%

NASDAQ 2019-2021= 35.2 + 43.6 + 22.3 = 101.1%

2019-2021= 141.43% average = 47.23%

If anyone wishes to double check me, feel free...

So I would like to once again introduce my theory of, for lack of a better term, the "Do something Syndrome"

Basically, my theory has proven correct and effective.

In the face of uncertainty in life, and here we are discussing economic uncertainty, people have the kneejerk reaction to "DO SOMETHING".

I have proven to myself over the course of 30+ years of investing, that the best strategy is to DO NOTHING...

If you pulled out of the market in the last three years, you lost out!

Investing is for the long term with the goal of never cashing out...You only take distributions, and let your portfolio grow into a monster!!

If you pull your money out of the market trying to time the prevention of a loss and then time the gains, to put the funds back in, you are not an investor...A gambler, but not an investor...

If you began the pandemic with 100k, you would have more than doubled your money 200k+ (being very conservative)

However, if you missed out on 10 of the largest days of growth in that time period, we calculated you would have lost $35,000, and have $165,000 remaining...

Remember, investing is making a loan, not "Here's a few grand, now give it back and hope some money sticks to it" LOL That is not an investment strategy, unless poverty is your goal...

Many of you have asked me to make an investment/money thread, so here you go, ask away...
