These graphs look pretty much the same and their largest holdings are FAGMAN.
On VOO vs VTI, I would think that as profit is taken from the largest companies it is re-allocated into other companies, so in theory if you owned the entire stock market it would be a zero-sum game (the big guy dips 1% and the little guy gains 1%). Therefore, you benefit from money entering the *entire* equities market as a whole (the money printers and people's weekly paycheck deferrals).
On VT vs VTI, I could see this benefiting if some poor village in India became the next Silicon Vally and made billionaires; if you were only invested in the American market you would miss out on that growth. Devil's advocate: American companies have global reach and foreign companies can list on our exchanges. If you look at our planet and how much of it is still uninhabited or underdeveloped, there is a lot of growth potential there. Places like America could reach diminishing returns while every other country in the world has to experience their version of the dot-com boom. Devil's advocate again: it would probably be established American mega-corps like FAGMAN laying out developing countries' e-infrastructure (unless China beats us, like in Africa).
All right /smg/. I have a base of index funds and I feel ready to branch out to single stocks. My first question: How did you pick your first stock(s)?
Jaxon Smith
I want to make an Etsy or Lulu play, but not both. Which one will moon higher
Isaiah Torres
There's no panic or catalyst in the news to warrant a massive drop like March was. Seems like this is just a small correction to buy for going back up.
Lincoln Sanchez
Fuck I meant Tuesday
Buy whatever YOLO shit /smg/ is shilling, you don't need fundamentals.
Julian Clark
I asked for advice on a Chinese gymnastics image board They told me to put it all in LINK
Xavier Myers
I picked my first long hold by doing basic DD into hydrogen exposed stocks. I’ve been stacking PLUG
Zachary Diaz
Not really panicking. Just a greedy bastard who would like a nice fat cash wad in his stocking for Christmas.
James Campbell
>Therefore, you benefit from money entering the *entire* equities market as a whole Yes Most major US firms already have significant international reach/exposure.
Isaiah Kelly
chekd buy $GME
Xavier Martin
How does GME not squeeze? I’ve been going through their financials and I’ve done thorough DD and I can’t figure out how I could be wrong
Adrian Bell
why dont you just use margin and leverage on index funds since you already understand them the best? your gonna be like those tsla fags that bought the top if you chase meme stocks
Jose Powell
>DEVELOPING: California's Independent System Operator declares stage 2 emergency, widespread blackouts expected as power grid may fail
Well at least have an unlimited plan and just need my phone. Should pick up some battery packs
Gavin Morris
Why do liberals hate the stock market? They do realize that it’s a pretty good tool to escape poverty and wage slaving if they have patience and play their cards right? Right?
Elijah Morris
I'm in rich part of OC, hoping it doesn't get so bad that it'll go out here. I live around a LOT of bergsteins though so I doubt it
I don't get it, GME went from 3 to almost 8. Looks to me anyone with a brain who bought in at 3 would be cashed out by now with over double the green for their efforts. Hey I'm greedy as the next bastard but when over double the profit is staring you in the face you'd be kinda nuts not to take it and run.
Dominic Powell
thought about buying some last year when they hit $7 after the last fires, what do anons thing this time? Even if they declare bankruptcy the state would probably buy them out I think
Austin Peterson
Liberals don’t want to be rich in 20 years they want to be rich now
Brody Campbell
theyre brainwashed retards user. have you been in a coma these last 4 years?
Sebastian Ortiz
Cohen bides his time and doesn't actually anything with GME yet, he could still be
Isaiah Wright

Lucas Lopez

Cooper Flores
No idea. Most of them are obsessed with their retirement funds.
idk I never got into that. I don’t ever see myself retiring. Living as a NEET gets depressing and boring after a while.
Ayden Reed
This guy right here is named Norman Borlaug. He is estimated to have saved a fucking gorillian human lives (over a billion) from hunger due to having created new strains of wheat and rice to be grown in impoverished countries. Liberals of his era HATED him, because his solutions to the worlds problems didn't revolve around wealth redistribution.
Bobos make money when the market goes down by buying puts or covering shorts
Parker Thomas
anyone with a brain would just keep holding with no pressure if they bought in anywhere under $5. You haven't looked into the situation happening with GME right now if you think anyone in a good position would be happy with a measly +40% or even +100% profit. Literally a once in a lifetime situation.
when has a stock ever been shorted this much when the company itself is nowhere close to being bankrupt. All it takes is one whale like Shkreli to take advantage of it especially when it's a relatively small market cap with a lot of shares already locked up in funds and insiders.
but there's no guarantee the Q2 catalysts will be enough to set it off, or that a market wide dump won't cuck us again (holy shit fucking Thursday fuck fuck fuck we were so close to not having to rely on Q2)
Gavin Rogers
You're assuming that any major growth will happen in emerging markets and allow them to beat standard markets. There's a reason these people haven't established actual countries yet.
Jeremiah Russell
because market crashes are where the big money is made. then you buy once it stabilizes
Eli Bailey
Buy the dip.

Henry Price
On the flip side there are so many high probability triggers it seems improbable that it doesn’t squeeze. Effectively, the number of things that must go wrong likely won’t
Stock market is fake and gay. It's beep boop RNG numbers that go along trends, with an overall trend of up. If it wasn't manipulated to generally always go up, no one would enter with new money.
