I repeat, I never buy individual stocks, not even Tesla or Amazon...I own them in mutual funds, but not as a single stock...

Single stocks are volatile and risky...

I realize that.

When I get someone or a couple out of IRS debt, credit card debt, and get them on a saving and retirement plan, their whole life is transformed...Mybe I'm being selfish in that I love that feeling, but it needs to be done...And I want to do it...

Even my 21 year old son, my youngest, has invested as I do to the best that he can, and he as substantial net worth...I showed him Sunday at bowling, he made 18.85% for the four years he has had control of his brokerage account...He will become a millionaire on his own, with out a dime of my inheritance money when I'm squished...

Why didn't he make 20% instead of 18.85%?

He could not afford to mirror my entire portfolio, so we picked out some solid mutual funds and got him started...This year he will have doubled his money, for the first time, in just 5 years...

Brief, one honest question

what was your initial, largest investment and when?!

how long did it take you to earn your first million

and how much have you or are you investing monthly, that's the most important question

At 16 I put together a whole life policy with a growth rider, that I paid 73.11/month until it became worth $10,000

I already had some investments like CD's and a couple of random mutual funds...Only a few thousand in the market at that point...Remember 16 fucking years old!

The trick with that policy is people used to make huge amounts of money with the insurance rider, and it is called an endowment contract...That's what I created at 16!

But, to prevent it from becoming a MEC Modified Endowment Contract and subject to taxes, I had to calculate carefully how it would grow...This is how I taught myself the ways to calculate market growth over time = The Time Value of Money

It's ideal to set up an ACH Automatic Clearing House with your broker and brokerage account...By buying monthly, you take advantages of the dips...

My Initial largest investment is not the largest check i ever handed my broker...

I think you are asking what is the single largest deposit I have made?

I sold my business in 2018 and retired...Every cent when to my broker to go on a buying spree...

Don't you think it is a little too late to be investing in this "long term" strategy with 30 trillion in US debt and one day away from the next Lehman brothers, I.E. Evergrande.

You put so much faith in paper money and counting coins that you become blind to everything else.

I designed a whole life policy with a Face value of $250,000 and I attached a growth rider that was calculated to keep it from becoming a MEC. a modified endowment contract, because they closed that loophole lol

The rider and policy was $73.11/mo from Mutual Of New York MONY for short

I can tell you that now because I cashed it in when it was past the break even point, and began my formual with $2500.00 in each of the four categories of mutual funds

Growth

growth and Income

Aggressive growth

International

And then I began monthly contributions...30 years later I'm retired...

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...

Yeah and I sailed right through, because i didn't sell...

1986, I was in the eight grade on the way to Washington DC when I head the market dipped. I was only into CD's at that time.

1996, I was four years out of school and into my career...I was maxing out my IRA and paying into my taxable brokerage account...Each month when the ACH sweep hit my account, it nearly drained it...I was feeding it every dime I could.


2000 Y2K will wipe us all out!!
Nope, it did kill one business that I know of, and I warned them...They didn't listen.

You do know it's all going to be worth nothing..

Ezekiel 7:19
“’They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin.


Build up on God's love... Money is next to Satan..
Romans 14:11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.

I was luckier than most.

I received a large trust fund ($550k) after my dad died, on the caveat, I had to finish college. I graduated university at 21 1/2, my Masters at 22 1/2.

I had some savings and investments prior to that, and a college fund which I didn't need to completely exhaust. I was able to have my first $1 milly at 23 almost 24.

I had good connections in SF -- due to my dad (he was a very prominant bussines man in finance in SF for many years).

I started a business with $160k in SF at age 24, grew it over 18 years and sold it for ...hmm....a LOT. heh.

I was 43, retired and a multi millionaire, that was 2 years ago. Now I play, and f around moving investments around pretty much all day...I'm into everything from property, stock, crypto, NFTs, metaverse.

Brief and I retired at relatively the same age..I think I'm a year or 2 younger, and old our companies around the same time
sold mine in 2019, but hardly did anything that entire year...it ran itself, and I had the best management team ever!

I had enough, and love my life now...love being able to buy whatever the F I want.

Don't be fooled by 3%, that's a lots money when you have built your money engine up to a high enough level...

10,000,000 x 3% is $300,000/year as supplemental income...

20,000,000 x 3% $600,000


Not a bad supplemental income for my children I must admit...

Because I bought the family business...I was the only one interested and qualified, hell my sisters couldn't do it and my brothers were 5....

But everyone thinks they gave me the business...Um no, $1.2 million is not fucking free...So I just assumed I wouldn't get an inheritance...

I assumed it would mostly go to my Downs brother...But after dad passed in December, mom asked me to handle the insurance payouts...inheritance was brought up and she said they have it all planned and everyone gets treated equally, except my littlest brother who we set of funds to take care of him when Mom's gone....She will probably live another 10 years or so, she's 77...But I get an inheritance LOL

It really surprised me, and made me feel good...

This is not a thread for economic theories or your best guess, or something you heard your uncle say about stocks...They are not wealthy and I am, and It is because of my formula that it works...

I will happily teach, but if you presume to know more than teacher about how his own proven formula works, you'll be shown the door...

Let me show you the door now too. Goodbye. hi

I will not delete this, as it's a clear example of someone who has not read and comprehended what I have told you in this thread.

I do not want your advice in this thread, I am teaching a formula that works.

Re: If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%
It’s not that much, but at 29 I have about 13K split between a Roth(REITS), Traditional(Diversified ETFs), and HSA(individual stocks).

I have another 10K saved up as an emergency fund, and was thinking about putting that into a brokerage instead of my savings.. should I choose money market / short term bond ETFs for the emergency fund or still put some of that in the actual growth market?

Any advice appreciated.

I was luckier than most.

I received a large trust fund ($550k) after my dad died, on the caveat, I had to finish college. I graduated university at 21 1/2, my Masters at 22 1/2.

I had some savings and investments prior to that, and a college fund which I didn't need to completely exhaust. I was able to have my first $1 milly at 23 almost 24.

I had good connections in SF -- due to my dad (he was a very prominant bussines man in finance in SF for many years).

I started a business with $160k in SF at age 24, grew it over 18 years and sold it for ...hmm....a LOT. heh.

I was 43, retired and a multi millionaire, that was 2 years ago. Now I play, and f around moving investments around pretty much all day...I'm into everything from property, stock, crypto, NFTs, metaverse.

Brief and I retired at relatively the same age..I think I'm a year or 2 younger, and sold our companies around the same time
sold mine in 2019, but hardly did anything that entire year...it ran itself, and I had the best management team ever!

I had enough, and love my life now...love being able to buy whatever the F I want.

:money:

Only a loser retires anyway. Your gonna really be crushed when you lose those zeros from your bank account soon. Pride is a very weak character trait. And starting with 500k and ending with 10xs that isn’t impressive.

You should have an emergency fund that will pay all bills for a year...However, a $10,000 emergency fund should suffice. Here's why. Statistically, anyone of use will have an emergency every 10 years, that will cost you 10k

How do I know that?

How long do you drive a car?

Car payments?

In ten years, you will be ready for a new car or Susy needs orthodontal work, or dad was in car accident as is laid off...

10k or more every 10 years...count on it

I like the Roth and the taxable brokerage account, and the HSA! Good job! Keep paying into it monthly...

For your 10k that won't be making much because it's liquid at the bank:

I have spoken to managers of banks and convinced them to write "No penalty for early withdraw" on a CD, explaining to him that the only way I will cash in the CD prematurely is if there is an absolute life or death situation...

That should pay higher than a money market...

But I don't worry about interest on the emergency fund...The value of it is in the fact it's liquid and just down the street...

Dental insurance sucks. Even if you have it on your plan, it's only a discount, like a coupon book you buy...

Braces and dental work can easily be $5,000 or more...
