Usually buying crypto isn't the problem, its the selling part that requires the SSN. The tax man cometh!

While we can't predict future, there's an underlying assumption that both equities and bonds go up over time. If this doesn't hold then Boglehead portfolios don't work. Although one does have to take a stern look at the current state of bonds with 10 year yields 1% or less and question whether the ...

One case for Tesla being a bubble: Musk merely had to recommend Signal to his fans and the share price of an unrelated company called Signal Advance went up 1200% simply because it has a similar name. Same thing happened in 2020 with Zoom. Some unrelated stock with Zoom in its name also skyrocketed...

I'm ready to buy some put options on TSLA, but I've said that before and thankfully never followed through. Maybe this time will be different? I did, and the price has run up another $200 since. lol. However, I did play this same game back in Jan-Feb and make a thousand when COVID caused everything...

I invested in both Bitcoin and TSLA and I am mad that I did not invest more. If I invested more (and I had the money) I would be living in a mansion right now. So you have to realize that you will never be happy and occupy yourself with other things. It's like FOMO-squared. I had FOMO back in 1999 ...

real yields are so low on both. Why not take a stab at preferred shares? They aren't quite fixed income, but pretty close since they act more like bonds.

Getting married. love that one, lol. Also, I live near a few marinas and I see tons of boats that easily cost 100s of thousands of dollars that stay wrapped up all year long in a dry dock field. I can only imagine what the ongoing costs to store, insure and perform any maintenance costs on those ar...

however, with a 6.6% return we are at the "most expensive" valuations in history? Basically no matter what ratio you quote and look at, the answer is yes. Can anyone find a ratio that says we aren't overvalued? I have seen some marginal things based on the interest rate, but the arguments...

Way too much emphasis is centered on Roth accounts when only people in the lowest tax bracket will actually benefit from them.
Tax rates could double and the Traditional IRA is still better

So who’s willing to go anti- Boglian to the max and do the obvious. Market capitalization of 562 billion with p.e. of 1,134!! I own a Tesla, but this is unsustainable. When it bursts fortunes will be made. So many people including famed investors have gotten squeezed by TSLA. TravelforFun I actuall...

Unfortunately this doesn't convert your rates to singles filing. I don't want to get married for the tax burden since both I and my partner are high income earners.

You make a good amount of money. You are probably leaving money on the table by not using a traditional 401k/IRA anyway.

I don't know about other autobuys sites, but I refuse to use coinbase because of their insane fee structure. Basically they were the first mover in the USA and so can command the high fees.

By my late 60's I had reached or exceeded my number (won) and couldn't decide what allocation going forward made sense. I put enough in "safe" fixed income to fund retirement to age 90 and ended up with a 45/55 allocation. I'm not trying to maximize the size of my portfolio (run up the sc...
