Wednesday hump day! Only ONE class and a welcome break!
How are those supplements doing? So far, so good, no noticeable problems.
Investing advice? Guidance? What would you recommend? I don’t give advice except to educate yourself. That being said, educate yourself on the following:
-Buy and hold, don’t trade to trade and time the markets
-Ignore options until you have the ability to lose that money (ie, buy insurance)
-Dividend stocks only (banks, utilities, broad market ETFs, look for something called “covered call ETFs” as they pay a higher dividend/interest rate)
-Following on from that, do you want monthly income and when do you want the money? Quarterly? Annually? (That is, pay for your girlfriend today? Or in your retirement?)
-If you want to get fancy as an expat, look into opening an account in another overseas jurisdiction, eg, Singapore, as they can sometimes offer better tax incentives. You have to look into this, however, cause your home country (especially if you’re a resident) may tax you on your worldwide income anyway.
Tried to record SLV Episode 60 but ran out of good light and time. So I went for a workout instead.
Workouts in! 7.51km in 49.30 this morning, weights in the afternoon (chest, legs, arms), followed by a 4.51km run in 27.53 afterwards.
