Originally posted by SBTlauien So here I am. Eating out at a restaurant. All alone. I paid for some companionship today and I talked to a handful of cashiers and a couple of waitresses. But that's all it is. I'm not sure why nobody likes me.
It's the same cycle as each year. I make this thread and people continue to not like me. They exclude me and make it obvious that they don't like me. I just don't know why. It's just the cycle again and again…
I like you lil bromo (puts arm around shoulder -

Originally posted by SBTlauien At the end of this year, I'm planning on starting a 401k and dumping 14% of my income with a 6% match from my employer, so 20% in total. Starting next year, I'm going to start a brokage account with stocks and bonds.
This way Ill have cash, stocks, bonds, cryptos, precious metals, and a retirement account. I'm not sure what else to do aside from possibly buying land and farming it.
I just want to be on track for retirement by age 40.
Edit: strange how a couple of years ago I was working in retail and only had about $3k in a checking account and about $6k in precious metals, no other accounts or investments. I also have a bunch of new stuff and have been going out way more…
Damn son, if I had gone ahead keeping my crypto instead of buying heroin I would have a conservative $250-300k. Good for you!
Open Roth, put at least 10-15k in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF in a ROTH and then you can play with individual stocks, but be careful because just because you like a stock does not mean it is a good time to buy, as it could be overvalued or have negative sentiment or too high expectations on it.
Don't go too heavy in metals unless you smell impending doom all over. Land or real estate is not a bad idea either, especially stuff you can rent (not housing preferably, renting to people can be horrible with time and shitty people). -
2019-09-17 at 1:34 AM UTC in I have $60k+ in investments/savingsPrecious metals are losers over the long term and crypto-currencies are pure speculation with no backing. Why not equities? Vanguard Total Stock Market Index is up 21.41% YTD. At the very least, at least open up a 401(k) and/or IRA (preferably Roth) to get some tax advantages, especially if you have any kind of dividend yield (those get taxed same year as ordinary income).

Originally posted by SBTlauien What I really need is a site where I can poll the daily average of the top ten crypto currencies.
A little googling turned up: https://www.cryptonator.com/api
I don't see historical data there but you could poll it every 30 seconds for a few days if you're planning on make a model out of a couple of days of trends. -
2019-08-06 at 4:07 AM UTC in Day Trading Crypto In A Programmatic WayI mean if and when I get around to writing an algorithm the first thing I'll do is simply run it against a stock ticker to see how well it performs, once I'm fairly happy with it a platform like robinhood is probably the easiest way to get started trading without having to deal directly with j'ews and j'ew bootlicks

No (or at least, incredibly slim chances).

Maybe.
It depends on how much domain knowledge and skill you bring from both programming and finance, and also where you set your expectations and what you truly hope to get out of it.
If you have a strong background in programming and at least some understanding of corporate finance and/or different trading markets, or the opposite, or even strong backgrounds in both, then I'd say... Why not give it a try?
The only thing is that, as others have mentioned in this thread already, you will pretty much be playing a game with casino-level odds, bringing with you only a very slight advantage over the average Joe/Jane without fancy algorithms to guide them.
You will be competing against enormous Wall Street firms with millions of dollars worth of computing power, and entire teams of PhD's in quantitative trading, economics, computer science, etc.
All that being said, I'm still working on developing some mini-projects in this area, but they are super low priority for me because I already know my odds of any bank breaking dividends are incredibly slim. For me, it's an educational experiment more than anything.
Even once you've selected a few specific metrics to guide your decision making (and there are A LOT to choose from), you will ultimately have to rely on intuition in the end for the final decision.
Try it if you want, but just don't expect to get bougie rich off of it.
The only way to do that is either start with millions of dollars, insider trading, or getting really really lucky. -

Originally posted by SBTlauien Long story short…
I was driving down the street. A 16 year old girl crashed into me. Completely her fault. Now she is saying that I turned into her. My insurance company is saying its word-vs-word.
On a scale of 1-16, how pissed should I be?
Pissed you don't have a dashcam, they are like $30 on ebay. -
