Side question: As single men... what insurance do we all need? Medical, dental, vision, renter/home, auto and umbrella (once we are worth $1m)?

@conker yes! That’s the guy I’m reading a lot about.

so anyway, I'm probably ok with etfs, although I have some reservations buying shit stocks (i.e. the last years there were banks, etc in there) - so I don't really want this index etf strategy

the next interesting thing was this sector / cycle investing strategy, which actually looked very interesting

Isn’t the argument that the CSRP index self cleanses?

Which is what most vanguard indices are based off...

I think.

The only other trading that interests me is options lol. Which is day trading basically.

All other money will go into my business(Ed).

you don't need to daytrade options

I don’t.

you can also hold them for longer

It just seems interesting.

I rather work on my craft though.

I know a quite nice german channel, that guy sounds pretty reasonable

he seems to have some option trading scheme

The sector cycle investing strategy - isn’t that the traditional philosophy?

Link in DM?

idk what the CSRP means ...

yeah, maybe, we should move to DM

Traditional is trading on fundementals, which no longer matter until they abruptly do.

everyone else who wants to talk to about that stuff, just DM m eor so ...

yeah, exactly, it looks like fundamental data matters 4 times a year on the Q earnings, and that's it
the rest is speculation

So what are the cons of passive ETF/index fund investing?

and yeah, sometimes the madness goes even beyond the earnings ...

Clown world equity market? Your company is diving in revenue? Production dropping? Fed will bail you out and everyone is a winner except the dollar. <:clownpepe:564530802667290625>

xD

indeed

The CSRP is the total market index.

there is also this thing which holds me back from investing for the moment, that I was really unsure of looming crashes

@Deleted User the cons against index fund investing are imho, that you have also a lot of bad performing shit in the general index
i.e. the banks were quite a disaster the recent years, especially in germany

Yeah all sanity says this is the peak. If I had money I wouldn't get in right now. Personally I'm waiting for property prices to pull back since I'm looking to get land.

so that sector cycle strategy sounds more reasonable

@Deleted User the problem with property is really,
that the prices know only one direction, when money is printed all the time ...

and the direction only reverses, when there is a crash basically

Which is what I'm banking on since the yeild curve inversion.

do you know good indicators for a crash scenario ?
and what exactly to do ?

@Deleted User Do you think timing the market works?

I'm planning to get out of the euro ... as is will probably go down

If I knew I wanted to live in the same place for longer than 4-5 years, I’d buy a place. It doesn’t seem worth it if I move around every 4-5 years lol.

@Deleted User I think it definitely works, if you have insider info 😈

Lol there are no crystal balls. Bond market investing usually means 6-18 months out shit gets sketchy
