Early Retirement Extreme Forums

Great to hear that you are on track, Herp. I wonder what type of investments you have in terms of the stocks you refer to as cigar butt stocks. I also looked at a similar strategy, but I was never really able to identify any. I did see some danish very small cap stock being undervalued some years ba...

For the journal; I started a new business project this year. It grew like crazy but sadly the project has suffered a set back because of all the growth. Honestly it's taken a lot of my time and energy and the set back hurts. I made some mistakes and offended some people. I really hate if people don'...

Did I miss something? How come your net assets dropped so much this month?

ouch i hate this situation. on the one hand, now is a terrible, horrible, bad, no good time to put cash into the market. on the other hand, it keeps going up and up and the amount of real assets one can buy with any given level of cash is less and less. everyone is having fun except this apparent p...

Well, if we look at the 10Yr Treasury rate now, it's 1.119% (per https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/?symbol=US10Y). The value of a 60% S&P500 and 40%10Yr Treasury portfolio currently is 0.6*15.81/38.43 + 0.4 * 1.119/3.84 = 36%. Over 20 percent points lower than a year ago. How come bonds are considere...

Things are insane right now. So many new investors buying companies with no profit at extreme and highly inflated market caps because the stock price will supposedly only continue to increase. Well sadly... they are very likely entering a world of pain. This will not stand! Insanity will be replaced...

S&P500: 3,691.96 - com'on still 200 points to go

@Bedon

I sold some specific stocks and one of them is now up 20%+.

I'm feeling FOMO and greed... Two of the best indicators that I shouldn't buy or sell anything - just leave everything as it is and focus on something else.
