investing

[Kirkland Laing]

I know nothing about stocks. I'm not just saying that, I know absolutely nothing.

I've told you before. Put your money in a nice low fee index fund. Vanguard are good but shop around. I have 30% of my dough in various index funds, 30% in real estate, 30% in with the money I manage and ten percent in various what are termed alternative investments.

The best thing you can invest in is bricks and mortar. You shouldn't be investing a lot of dough in stocks particularly in this day and age unless you have enough property to live off your property rents for the rest of your life. If you're putting a significant percentage of your dough in stocks and you don't know what you're doing, and you don't, you very most likely are not going to come out ahead.

I've had some excellent funds. One was a health and science which outperformed the market for fifteen years straight. Just now as the biotechs start tanking its a bit shaky. I would not put the majority in individual stocks but I have a couple that have done so well it always keeps my interest. I've been fortunate with my rental property, it hasn't been unoccupied for one day thus far, now that I said that I probably jinxed myself.Kirk, when you say alternative investments, what do you mean. And don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing, unless you have a graph to back that up.

What I'm trying to do here is stop you losing a lot of your money. I'm trying to work out what's in your head and post what I think is most likely to save you from yourself. You should never invest in individual stocks no matter what you've read about them.

But you've given me an idea with the graph thing. Here's a graph. Tell me all about it, as much context as possible.

The graph shows shares go up and down and nothing much has changed in their value?

I actually agree with you, one should not primarily invest in individual stocks but I think your not reading everything I wrote or I'm not explaining. My primary investments are in housing and index funds, Ira both Roth and traditional. The individual stocks I invest in are just a side thing for me. I hit it big with an ipo a number of years ago and have used a small portion of those returns to keep in individual stocks. I live by the motto if your investments keep you up at night get out. Even with my individual stocks I try to even things out from being tech heavy and create diversification with a bundle of stocks. It just surprises me you think you have the answers for everyone. Even if I lost 100 percent of my individual stocks I'd still be alright. But your graphs are always appreciated.

Oops, my bad- over my head.

side note- @ the broker I worked for-every year I had to take courses on stuff like money laundering or what happened to Martha Stewart...4got what its called---oh, insider trading?


I never wanted to take those courses. To me; the more classes I took, the more knowledgeable I became on how to defraud.




Like those CSI shows on tv. I wonder how many crazed loonatics become better loonatics because of those shows?? Oops, I went off topic....all day long!!

Wall Street, the big accountancy firms, the central banks, it is all a massive confidence trickster game and for some reason we are allowing them to try and complete the fascist takeover.

If you want to keep money safe, then Bit Coin. It is volatile, but the only way to stay anonymous and cash of course, but never held in a bank, and good old metals. Stocks and central banks? Due for a death star moment.

Is this the current considered position of the Korean English Teachers' Investment Fund board?

Miles is much more in tune with geopolitical skullduggery on the economic playing field ... he is an erudite and a scholar and a gentleman he is much more in tune with geopolitical skullduggery on the economic playing field and the hyena hedge fund charlatans and the black pools and the collateralized debt obligations that the vampires and hyenas used to create wealth out of nothing at the expense of common people than you are with all your charts and graphs. @Gandalf
