Day trading is part of investing as well, doesn't mean everyone on here does it, I'm just dabbling with my stimulus money from the Govt. with that. Play money i call it.

It's all golden.

I've been using the stock tips I'm seeing in here as I've just gotten in to day trading in the last week or so.

Thanks for CCIV Clay!

Really, lewdog mentioned it first. I just blew it out my ass.

I hope you got into FRX because I see good things coming in pairs. AH today was a very good sign.

Financial lifestyle should be a mandatory class in HIGH SCHOOL.

Our educational system is a failure.

Roth IRA was one of the first things I learned in street class on top of how to balance a check book. Haven’t set one up but now in my mid 30s I sure as shit want to set up a few $5k accounts

I'm not saying that there's something wrong with it, just why it seems to have strayed from DaFaces intent

The housing market was much different ten years ago, you could offer a price and tell the owner you have to fix this, that and the other thing as well as throwing in a year of home owner warranty.

To your question though it never hurts to lowball the worst they can say is the offer wasn’t accepted.

If it's those houses you've been posting that area isnt exactly growing. It would be different if it were in JoCo.

Yep, got in on FRX today. I'm excited to see if it does what CCIV is doing.

Threads take a course of their own. Deface isn’t around to herd us around like stray cattle loose in the pasture.

I didn't set up a Roth until my mid 30s when a friend of mine switched careers and became a wealth manager and talked me into it.

I'm also in the group that didn't have anyone in my ear telling me to set money aside.

That's why I tell every young person I know to start saving as much as they can as soon as they can.

Once you get a list of fund choices we can help you choose some things if you have questions.

My advice right off the bat is PIHB

Every seller thinks their homes are gold mines right now. Be patient- there will be a lot of inventory coming on the market soon.

Never offer above what you’d be willing to pay based on all you’ve seen so far, and how much you want this home (what are the pro’s and cons. What is a dealbreaker and what are you willing to live with. What is easily changeable —like paint and landscaping — what’s not: location, tile work etc.) Use your agent as a consultant on offer price. If the sellers agent expects 5 or 6 offers chances are it’ll go over asking.

I’ve bought and sold six homes. This last time we got outbid on four homes. A couple times by a lot. Cash offers. Etc. But our offer was what I was willing to pay and be satisfied, not what I thought would win the house. One of them I went to bed hoping we didn’t get it. We didn’t. this one we ended up with we bud high but it’s much better than any we got beat out on, and wasn’t the most expensive either.

There is ALWAYS another house.

I've gotten a late start on supplemental retirement savings and have already banked a lot. I shudder to think how much I would have if I had started saving at 22 rather than in my 30s.

I’m 50. I e been contributing the maximum to a 401k for 25 years. It’s quadruple what I’ve put into it (about averaging 5-8 percent per year over this time) but still is only worth about 5 years salary at my current level.

I wish I’d also had started an E-trade and IRAs on top of that or property investments.

401k isn’t enough. IMO.

Plus, the past 7 years have been unprecedented. nasdaq took 12 years to get back to it’s 1999 level.
