👨💼 People always ask me how I invest my money, so I open sourced my investment portfolio at levels.vc There's no big strategy here and no certainty that this is a good portfolio either, right now it returns about $120K/mo I try buy mostly ETFs and they have the highest return for me overall Sometimes stocks rise so much though it becomes disproportionate % of portfolio (like NVIDIA) I don't invest in startups now, but maybe one day I will. Why not now? From my studies of VC funds: you need to invest 100 to 1000 times @ $100K = $10M to $100M to have one home run exit that makes your fund profitable statistically Unless you for example put in $1M yourself and then raise another $9M to $99M from rich people and pension funds (via LPs) that means you statistically you make no chance of ever making a profit on your investments. So not sure I should do it at all now. ETFs though are nice, they let me invests in tens of thousands of companies all around the world while paying for ex 0.07% in fees (called TER, Total Expense Ratio)! That means investing $100K in 10,000 companies costs me only $7 per year! The cheapest investment products on the planet. Since I'm not American I buy the European versions (but still in USD) of ETFs (called UCITS), for ex VOO in US is called VUSD in EU, there's some tax savings if you buy it in Europe (if you're not American) etc. Anyway I don't know much about it, just trying to do the right thing and not chasing short term profits but long term 20-30 years Some of my inspirations for investing are John Bogle (inventor of ETFs) and Ray Dalio (tl;dr Asia is the future) and those depict my investment strategy
