Re: Journal From A Dane
Just a brief update from me. Still doing very well financially and proceeding to increase my net worth. Adjusted for inflation, I am now beyond 50% towards my original FI goal, but I actually don't know if I want to fully retire when I hit my goal. There's some comfort in at least somewhat conformin...

Re: the dollar journal
Now worth around $30,000 History: 2017: bought at around $50 2022: sold at around $200-220 2022: bought at $100 Now: $233 Guess I got lucky with trading Meta the last few years. I still believe in it long-term. Quite the run since last fall. I haven't run the numbers very carefully, but it looks li...

Re: Journal From A Dane
Ironically, I had two positions among my bargain shares appreciate a huge deal in just the past few weeks. YTD the cigar butt stocks have creamed the market. I liquidated one and am planning to liquidate another. While these recent massive gains made me reconsider if dialing down exposure to cigar b...

Re: DutchGirl's journal
Sorry to hear about the reorganization, DutchGirl. I've been in those situations (like just about any other office worker, I think) and it's not fun to bear the uncertainty. Was any timeframe given for when the new structures will be in place? Perhaps there's a chance that the workplace environment ...

Re: Journal From A Dane
Some thoughts about my portfolio and the path to becoming fully FI. November, December, and January have been excellent months in terms of market gains and net worth progression. I'm surprised at how quickly the value of one's net worth can increase even with good diversification. In "frie mid...

Re: Value Investing
@steveo73 What concerns me is that ETF makes index investing so easy that it must suppress returns. At one time index investing needed both insight and some time and complex juggling with broker creating and maintaining a personal index. Now it's default approach and you execute with three clicks. ...

Re: Journal From A Dane
Well, it's been over a year since I last posted in my journal, but in terms of net worth I am progressing very nicely. I just crossed the 50% mark towards my FI goal that I set some years ago. Although that's not adjusted for inflation since then, so I probably still have a bit more to go before get...

$38k! You spendthrift, you
What did you spend money on this year?
Can you share some details about your first direct real estate investment? I have zero plans to go down that route, but I'm still curious.
What kind of hobby projects did you do this year?

Re: the dollar journal
That's some crazy NW increase in just a month! You're definitely in the absolute top echelon.
Can I ask how high your NW roughly is these days? Where did most of your wealth creation come from? TSLA, crypto, FAANG or a combination?

Re: the dollar journal
Hi thedollar,
The rhetoric doesn't sit well with me, either. Are we simply servants to the government's will?
I am less concerned with respect to healthcare, though. I think the overwhelming consensus is that it should remain free from the point of use.

Re: Journal From A Dane
Thanks, thedollar! I am referring to stocks that trade at a sizable discount to a conservative estimate of liquidation value (below working capital). Often I find these stocks to be nano and micro cap having market caps below $100 million. I only buy if the business has a healthy balance sheet, low ...

Sorry about the stress but happy to hear that your weight loss has been successful! I myself have experienced the exact opposite - roughly 10kg weight gain over the past 12-18 months. Not even quite sure how that happened... Sounds like amazing times for you! A new business of your own and exciting ...

Re: Journal From A Dane
Happy New Year! Thought I would post a brief update in this journal, as it's been over a year. I'm still solidly on the path to FI. In fact, 2020 ended up on reasonably positive notes despite a global pandemic raging most of the year. I'm doing well in terms of net worth progression. In terms of wor...

Yup, I have experience dumpster diving, but not in Copenhagen. You can find a ton of perfectly fine food, if you're willing to get a bit dirty. Bring a lot of bags and a pair of gloves
