The Investment Thread

Happy hour starts in 5 minutes
After being in the Dominican Republic for the past month I am also at the end of my rope in regards to work but I have a few more years to go (i think???). I'm tired of the rat race and I've been working and living on my own since I was 14.

Over the past two years I have liquidated all of my properties globally except for one, which was the largest investment. I'm just waiting on the right price.

Boone I'm sorry you took that the wrong way. I love great food and I know how much that costs, especially with the rise in prices over the past few years. Hell, for Christmas? I bought a terrine of foie gras just for me.

Much love bro. ❤️
Few people are truly gourmands

We could be hell in the kitchen together!

I am fed up with my work situation. As the Health System I have been with since 1994 has gotten gobbled up 3 or 4 times by larger entities, each 'gobbling' bringing with it massive change (and imho, worse patient care and staff experience), I have just run out of mental flexibility. This week, on a call our physician was on, they let it slip that they planned to close our rehab unit - which is highly profitable and provides a critical need to our community. It's never been discussed with any of us - some executive just decided it was a good idea. That's how this org operates now.

Anyway, although I love the people I work with, I'm about done. I am meeting with my financial advisor next week and assuming I come out of there with a viable plan, I will hang it up in a couple of months when I turn 64. As far as SSA goes, I don't feel a few hundred more per month for each additional year worked is worth it. I have poured a ton on money into my retirement account, own my house, and have some other investments. I think we will be fine especially since we don't live an extravagant lifestyle. I may have to dial back my grocery purchases though (I know that will be a relief to RedWolf, lol...).

When one door closes another door opens. Enjoy retirement!
 
Anyone else buying SpaceX? I bought some this morning and will purchase a little more when a funds transfer is final. Will be interesting to see what it does over time. I am going to get back into some personal stock purchasing now that I have time to do more research.
 
I don't do personal trading anymore but if I did, I would look at ETF's.

Nowadays, I let my advisor handle all our trading. Less stressful for me that way.
 
Oh yeah, I trust my Merrill Lynch guy to handle my retirement investments, this is just playing on the side for fun to see what I can do…

We bought some for the long term. We'll see how it goes. But most of my play money goes into Micron. I've made a butt load off that since the 90's and it just keeps on truckin
 
What apps or sites do you use to do your personal trading?

Good luck with that!

I had my fill of playing on the side when my BP said enough. I still have my Berkshire Hathaway on the side but I let Ameriprise handle the rest of it, for my peace of mind.
 
I met a a 22-year-old kid at the Miami Airport that was a millionaire from just trading ETFs since he was 16
