    There’s a significant gap on the sp500 daily chart between 4000>4050

    I have a lot of clients with small unsolicited individual positions. They'd rather have everything in one place and not bother opening a RH account

    I will waive my AUM fee for individual positions that the client wants to manage themselves (when to buy more, when to sell), but keep a tight limit on % of total investable net worth.

    That's pretty shitty financial advice. But, hey, it's 2021.

    Huh? What is?

    Don't be bitter that you can't afford sound financial advice.

    The best financial advice I ever received was to buy low and sell high. It seems pretty obvious, but in practice it's harder than it looks.

    The best financial advice is free. Well, a Bogle book or two may cost a six pack's worth of coin, but, the internet and other media is saturated with safe, simple advice that works. It's remarkable to me that most people actually pay for day to day advice. Sure, a tricky inheritance would need some one time advice, but, generally, dollar cost averaging saving, mostly equities when young and transitioning to a classic 60-40 equity bond mix with age, buy a house if you think you aren't moving for awhile, don't buy stupid shit like expensive cars that basically do the same thing as cheaper cars, live in a town with excellent public schools to avoid private school costs, and learn to cook. Easy.

    Ok, Suze Orman.

    Look, I don't claim that what I do is overly sophisticated. I tell most people they could easily manage their own money (most clients are highly educated professionals) but do they really want to spend their time vetting positions on a quarterly/annual basis? Do they want to spend their time rebalancing allocations regularly? Also, investment management is one slice of the pie. How do you turn your hard earned dollars into retirement income? Is the 4% rule really all you need to succeed? When to claim SS? When to consider Roth conversions? Wealth transfer/gifting considerations? etc.

    Clearly you are not the target audience, you know it all already. GL and keep dca into your super secret squirrel fund that outperforms all.

    You seem to exist to make them nervous, and make money from it. Why "vet" quarterly? Why worry about allocations so much? You want retirement income? Save enough in a Roth that you'll have some money for income. Claim SS maybe not at 62, but, pretty soon, because you're going to be really old, sitting in a chair, in your 70s, so, use it up. Fuck, I hear these people telling the public to wait until age 70 or so, and to me it sounds like a plot from the guvment to keep their money. Sorry, most people ain't making it to 80. Look around. 55 year olds look like shit, unless you're living in the mountains.
    Ok wealth transfer and inheritances require a bit of gaming the ever changing tax codes, but, your accountant can advise on that.

    I read once that most people, including your educated professionals, hell, probably mostly them, spend more time planning vacations than their personal finances. It's not hard, and, you really shouldn't dick around with it much, maybe once a year, because, if you really start worrying about it, you're inevitably going to do the stupid thing number one: panic and sell low after you bought high in good times. And there are always good and bad times.

    (Face Palm) not worth it to discuss/refute your idiotic generalizations...congrats you made me almost argue with an internet troll. Now go make an appointment with an independent CFP and make sure you're all set, because based on your statements...you might be having a bad time sooner than later.

    Is the stock market going to tank?

    Taking Social Security early is horrible advice. The worst. It’s much better to drawdown savings and wait if you have the means. Especially if you have savings to draw that have already been taxed and interest rates are this low. I’m guessing you needed the money Benny? With a 6% cola this year anyone that has waited is getting PAID.

    At 8% gain per year and now an additional 6% cola just waiting to full retirement age would have a significant payoff.

    I'll bet you sell indexed annuities and insurance products, right?

    I ain't working and you are, genius. That's the point. To not work for somebody else if you don't have too.

    And to make it even simpler for you, genius, you don't live forever.

    Lol, don't touch them, never will. Unwind quite a few BS products that people come in with though. Clearly you don't understand what a fiduciary adviser does, I couldn't touch those products and hold myself out as a fee only adviser. Sorry the annuities touched you inappropriately and you didn't seek advice.

    If you took SS at 62 or even FRA, sorry. Where else can you get a guaranteed 8% annual return (not including COLA)? I can't promise that! Can't tell you how many people have showed up after taking SS early because of conspiracy guberment BS you alluded to.

    edit: just say 4matic stating the same thing.

    when you guys stop fighting over who has a smaller dick can someone answer a question for me

    the gov't (or fed) buys up corporate bond debt?
    this props the company up makes it look good
    isn't it the same as giving food stamps and a monthly check to a welfare mom?
    why do they do this? sounds like socialism to me

    please answer in a way that a third grader can understand

    The fed buys up debt to provide liquidity to promote orderly market function. Illiquid assets can be both over and under priced/valued.

    Well it's horrible advice if you live to be 90 YO. Not so good advice if you die at 66.

    It's not socialism. It's referred to as fascism. This may be information at a 7th or 8th grade level though.
