wasn't talking to you.

Oh sorry

Perhaps you missed the part where I mentioned her company matches her contribution. Clearly my wife doesn't work for the same penny-pinching outfit that we do lol.

Are you in the Self managed account?

 

[ManInBrown]

I have to look at mine. Not exactly sure where I'm at.

I look too much. You’re better off checking twice a year. I check daily.

I honestly don't check it that much anymore. Better off that way

Yes.

Better to know how much you have contributed in dollars versus it’s value today. Scary as hell!

I don’t wanna know

I just stick with my plan and add more money when I can.

It's getting there.

 

[the cooler]

Yes.

Ever buy stock you regret selling years later?

What I mean is you sell years ago when it was cheap turns into a monster later l.e nvda

Everyone does that at some point. Its all part of the game I guess.

You will never go broke taking a profit

True.

Have a lot of respect for the professional money managers. It’s friggin hard year in year out to best the averages.

 

[Brownslave688]

Yup. I’m up 12.5% YTD

Looks like the wife is up about 20% on the year. No idea where mine is. Her statement happened to come in the mail yesterday. Add that growth to her contributions this year and it looks like she's up about 55k on the year.


Probably more than I've made lmao

If you are contributing 10% and are only getting a 10% return you are basically breaking even.

You are equating 2 different values as if they were the same thing.

That's the Golden Question, right there. I pulled out months ago and missed out on a lot of this uptrend. It's just too spooky for me now.

Trying to "time the market" is a fools errand unless you are in charge of say a $10 billion fund and can actually influence the market. Take a look at dividend investing. Its a lot less stressful.

We are due for a correction. Does that correction become a recession is the million dollar question.

I like how you are thinking. If we get Tax Reform there's going to be some crazy speculation. Hell one of the apps I have ran an article about the possibility of Apple buying Ford! If US Corps are able to repatriate money on the cheap I think the market is going to go sky high. I think if we get the Estate Tax removed We'll see a short term dip as (and IF) Charitable Trusts get dissolved and the money goes to the heirs. I think if Tax Reform falters in any way we will see a major correction in the short term as a warning to DC. Kind of like what we saw for 2 days right after Obama won his second term. I missed that chance but have dry powder waiting for this possibility.

Tax reform is getting pushed into next year

 

[DriveInDriѵeOut]

Doesn't really matter either way. The market has already priced itself on the assumption of tax cuts.

 

[Pickles]

My question...


It looks like we may go on strike. Sell or keep your UPS stock?

I also check daily, which may be too much, but checking twice a year would be way too little, unless you have your account on auto pilot.
