Who else here /index/
>low exchange rates/fees
>outperforms nearly all hedge funds (see Warren Buffett's S&P 500 wager)
>diverse, passage management
>line literally always fucking goes up
Literally give me one excuse why you don't dump your shit coins and TSLA and put it in FNILX or VOO.
Cus I was early to btc and eth and I’m not a dumb nigger that has never measured that line against the money supply
That's what my 401k is for, balls deep in large cap, small cap, and intl index funds. Day trading is more for short term stuff like remodeling the bathroom/vacation/weekend with the bros type shit and you can't necessarily accomplish that playing the index game
Oh no, OPs retarded.
add some GSG DBC too
Yeah if I started 30 years ago, but Im a retard and didnt.
Market didnt do shit from 1998 to 2009 you dumb faggot.
>Implying index funds aren't >90% of my portfolio
I'm not going to make it please kill me
That line is literally inflation, relative to it you make nothing
The way to make money in crypto and stocks are the same, find a new company, invest, pray
I want to make it before I'm 70. Just stack sats it's basically just a crypto index
If you invested at the peak in 1999 you wouldn't have broken even until 2013 (not accounting for inflation).
I can retire in 30 years with an index fund but I'll never be rich so what's the point
Dividend rate is 1.2%
>If you invested at the peak in 1999...
You haven't broken even.
Index fag here. I came to the realization that any fund outside of America will truly not make it. Europe is a slowly dying shithole, China hasn't proven itself to be able to compete, and the rest of the world doesn't matter.
Thoughts?
>index funds are the new savings account
This is my favorite top signal. Practically everyone believes this. We'll see how that works out for you midwits.
Index funds are unironically based. I would bet money that 99% of people here can't outperform the index, and for those that do it's blind luck coupled with retarded HODLing with little diversification, and as soon as they make a similar bet that doesn't work out it blows up their entire portfolio and wealth.
This is my permanent portfolio now, I have precious metals allocation to hedge against a market crash:
> 70% FZROX
> 20% Physical Silver
> 10% Physical Gold
There were almost 12 years (between 97 and 2009) where it didn't in fact go up. It went up and down. And like someone else said, if you bought the 2000 top, it was about 13 years until you start to make money (not factoring in inflation, - so perhaps more like 17 years).
China literally shoved a gatling gun up their ass and and held down the trigger with the 1 child policy
Imagine baby boomers retiring but 100x worse because there's gonna be no one to replace them, China's industry will collapse, invest in Mexico
Retards, nobody puts their entire net worth all at once into the index in 1998 or some shit lmao. People DCA their paychecks so maybe 1 out of 500 paychecks bought the top which doesn’t matter in the slightest.
Index funds are the best reliable long term investment I have around 500k in VTI and I don’t care if it crashes because I’ll just keep buying more.
Why not UPRO? Well… up until recently kek
You forgot to mention dividends which compount quarterly. Other than that, checked dubs, based strategy. I do the same. Invest, Rip van Winkle a decade or two then wake up rich
Better to retire when you’re 50-60 than never retire because you tried to actively manage your entire portfolio like a retard. The problem with midwits on biz is you do well for a period of time say 2-5 years getting good returns (most of the time still not enough to make it because your initial capital was too low) and think you figured the game out and then something happens where you fuck up and lose everything like 90% of active traders eventually succumb to. People here are used to 3-4 digit percentage gains but don’t realize that even getting 20% returns over a sustained period of time will make you literally the richest person in the world.
Based.
So many dumb shitcoin gamblers on Any Forums thinking they're Warren Buffet. Kek.
like clockwork, right at the too this thread appears.
Read up on the Nikkei in the late 80s.
