The details beyond that are for people far more fascinated with the business and minutiae of trade than I am. If you think that position is unreasonable, you might be 1. speaking in bad faith or 2. retarded. Thanks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5849224&forum_id=2#49765232) |

Date: March 24th, 2026 1:10 PM Author: :-P (gunneratttt) it depends on how ignorant you're choosing to remain. if you're talking about actual minutiae, sure. if you're talking about the basics of products you use, like a mortgage or investments, you should obviously have some sort of baseline understanding of what you're utilizing.

Date: March 24th, 2026 1:18 PM Author: A Stripper Named Hegemony I recently learned that there are assets that appreciate long term at much higher rates than the market. This really blew my mind. I thought value investing was a relic of the past but apparently you really can find growth stocks in the long run.
I also learned that there are still people who fuck with bonds and dividends. Get paid for someone to hold your cash and then get the principle back. I thought this didn't exist anymore either.
Really blows your mind when you realize there are people who go beyond just parking their money in the S&P. So many juicer asset classes. It's also really crazy how bad an investment real estate is. People complain about home prices, if you invest aggressively you will make way more money than any real estate inflation. Crazy people even complain about high values when they could be aggressively making money instead. Like oh my home went up 7%. OK but some asset somewhere went up like 10x. But muh home! You have to have a home! |

Date: March 24th, 2026 1:20 PM Author: TurboGook-16 ((zurich is stained)) be careful here. if someone's pushing investments on you and claiming "this is way better than index investing!" it is likely some scam where the person is getting a % and it probably underperforms the s&p.

Date: March 24th, 2026 1:25 PM Author: A Stripper Named Hegemony This is true unless you discover Palantir early or you're 50 Cent and you invent Vitamin Water. Look there are obvious scams, non obvious scams. But there are also investment opportunities that are legit. You gotta go beyond the market. Yes there's increased risk. Yes you might lose everything and puke your guts out. But that's capitalism. Risk v reward. Just be smart about it. Know your personal risk tolerance.
I never invested in bitcoin because I'm too dumb to understand it and it doesn't appeal to me. Many other people did. A few got rich, most lost their shirt. You just have to find something that works for you. Find something you enjoy. Find an asset that makes you happy and that you care about. I know people who own TSLA just because they like Tesla. Find something to believe in that matters to you imo. |
