Once your max out your 457 find out what low cost 403b vendors are on your districts plan and also max that out.

Robert Kiyosaki is a con artist and Rich Dad Poor Dad is made up story. Check out Bogleheads and stop taking swing bets on the market.

I know about kiyosaki bankruptcy. He's helped a **** load more people than he's hurt, though. He's right a lot, too.

I would trust him over yellen or powell, who knowingly lied about what was going to happen with inflation, money printing, and the recession we're currently in.


I'll look into those boglehead guys. I'm always open to listening to new people, and new ideas.

I won't listen to those tik tok, gamble guys on the market though. I'm an old school investor. Also have common sense, which is why it was easy to see this recession coming, as well as how much worse it's going to get in the next year or so, if not financially educated

I already max out my two roth IRAs by DCA each month. Pages ago I talked about this.

I use other money to go for more risky securities, like small cap ETFs, certain sectors, etc. Only 35, so I have time to recover.

I no longer teach in NY. Left about 5 years ago. It's a **** state, and only going to get worse, and poorer. Will never look back.

I just post what I do because these are old school people who are right more than wrong. And most people are emotional and political; the people i listen to and follow are not. Just use common sense with market and investing and you'll be fine.

Just looking out for fellow knicks fans on realgm

Yeah, that guy is right. It's a great read for those just wanting to get into investing.

As I've been saying for over a year, things will go on discount soon. They almost are there, when you look at where VXUS, VTI, VOO were headed pre covid.


I have about 8 limit orders ready to go. Some are close to hitting. Could probably wait longer.

Guy that wrote this seems old school common sense, like the guys I follow. Market will recover. **** will be on discount soon

man that's a long article lol.

I can go on about crypto for hours so I'll try to simplify my thoughts.

Cryptocurrency as a whole is still wildy unregulated besides the two top assets, Btc and Eth hope you see the irony. Crypto is full of scams particularly nfts although the tech behind it is what we should be paying attention to. A lot of the stuff you're seeing is quickening adoption for sure but don't get too caught up trying to find the next 100x coin. There are real projects out there with real people that are disrupting the industry they are after. That's where you should bet your money.

There's also ways to earn passive income. With the metaverse being pushed to us rather quickly, there are ways to earn while playing or by owning digital land. You can oppose this idea but this train is moving regardless. You can also stake high apy Dao projects which is super risky and sus imo. You can also run nodes (strongblock and thor) pays the most. If you don't know what nodes are, I suggest reading a bit since they are integral to any blockchain. a lot of these are rugs and potential scams, so the best BET* is to invest in a team that's established in the space and has a good background. This is the new internet bubble of the 90s and many of these projects won't last once we have regulations. Take profits and reinvest back in the game or in other asset classes.

One thing is for certain, this is no longer a bubble or a fad. I mean, the Lakers arena didn't change their name in 22 years to crypto.com without doing some due diligence.


I will say to that point that there are many many recent examples of stadiums named after companies that go bankrupt. The due diligence is that they paid them

They are probably decoupling more and more regardless. The association could be assumed because of traders playing both crypto and traditional markets, but the only real hedge is cash. They are not havens from one another and never were. Whomever told you that was blowing smoke up your hoo hoo


Doesn't matter now since its all going up in smoke. :)

Can't tell if this rally in the equities market is a pump fake or not.

Didn't add much to my taxable brokerage account. I brought 1 share of VOO, 2 VIG and 3 VXUS when the s&p touched 3400 a month ago.

Increased contributions to my 401k tho but that money doesn't really matter.

Here's what I believe...not that anyone asked :lol:

Bitcoin and crypto in general has been declared dead more times than a New Orleans voodoo zombie.
Like said zombie, it has always returned stronger and in a very dramatic fashion.

Macroeconomic factors and bad actors in the space have thrown a wrench in the works of recovery, obviously.
I abhor that innocent people had to get screwed in order for regulation to be fast-tracked...but here we are.

I will absolutely hold what I have, and continue to add to my holdings. While at the same time trading on its volatility.

I don't expect full recovery and more explosive moves up, possibly until the next halving in Apr 2024.
But I'm confident that it will happen. I'm betting on it, literally.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, and I'll let time be the ultimate judge.
