The Practical Investor

If i'm being totally honest this is how i've felt about the markets lately. $QQQ $SPY

@CodeByNZ I think it will lead to more jobs as soon as people adjust to it.

AI companies keep telling us the future will be amazing while refusing to explain what happens to everyone whose job disappears along the way.

@Kalshi His problem is that he is logically consistent. I think that is a common theme among those on the "spectrum". Truth is an anchor, not something malleable. When he can see the massive amount of fraud and excess he naturally assumes it cannot continue. He's been wrong so far.

JUST IN: Big Short investor says he is "not a fan" of SpaceX IPO

@theficouple House hacking is such a great way to build wealth when you're young, I wish there were more of these in my area. 240k per door for a duplex in 2026.. wowza!

For people under 40: Don't spend $24,000/yr paying someone else rent. Instead, use $24,000 as a down payment on a $480k duplex. Move in, rent the other side & let the tenant cover ~80% of the payment. ...You save ~$19,000/yr, build equity & quietly get rich in the process🏡

@MarketWatch The bad news is, being 42 with nothing invested is an uphill climb. The good news is all is not lost. $2000 goes into savings, emergency fund Reduce spending immediately Open a ROTH and begin contributing If you max it out every year, you're going to be OK Work on income too

‘I have no experience with investing’: I inherited $2,000. I’m 42 with two children. What should I do with this money? trib.al/ZmetRpG

@traderpodcaste I respect the hustle

Jensen sweating profusely in South Korea, refuses to take off leather jacket. Probably keeps it on while banging his wife too.

@pmitu What's with everyone wanting to start a cafe? What am I missing here? 😂

My dream: offline business What should I open?

Would you give up non-essentials in order to invest more every month? Streaming services, memberships, nail salons, eating out? $100/month in the S&P over 30yrs could be up to 250k Small moves make a big difference over time.

@MikeHoffmann If anyone else is reading this, please please please take this mans advice and do these things.

Be present. Put the phone down. Eat dinner slowly. Show up to the recital. Take the walk. Say yes when your kids ask you to play. Call your parents for no reason. Be home. Time waits for no one. Enjoy it.

@njshoreinvest I did the same thing. I am a crypto survivor, 40% dips don't even phase me, the stock market is child's play.

My net worth is down $112,528 in a week. I saw the number, shrugged, and made coffee. I'm mostly in mostly index funds and a few tech names I actually believe in. None of the reasons I own them changed because the line went red for 7 days. I'll just continue to cost average and carry on with life.

@RoaringHammy Even at 3% that's pushing, what, 4k a month? Not ideal on 200k household. 😬

How stretched are you financially? I have friends who have household income of $200k but they carry a $900k mortgage. 😬

@darrelltalksfi Pro tip, increase it slightly every year to keep pace with the contribution limit increase.

Someone who set up a $625/month auto-contribution to an index fund within their Roth IRA at 25 and never changed it will have roughly $1.4 million at 55. That one decision will make them tax-free millionaires.

Say what you want about Robert Kiyosaki, but I read the Cashflow Quadrant when I was about 20 Thankfully the concepts influenced me early Employee Self-Employed Business Owner Investor Real wealth is about ownership. The trap is never getting to the last two in the quadrant

Your market prayers have been heard! RISK ON!! 🚨

@MarioNawfal Wasn't that Friday?

🇺🇸 These charts tell the story of the last few hours Nasdaq down 4.77%, S&P 500 down 2.64% Both had been climbing on one core thesis: Trump controls the outcome, a deal is close, and the war stays contained. Trump told the FT "I call all the shots, Netanyahu has no choice." Markets briefly believed him. S&P futures turned green on that quote alone. Then Netanyahu struck Iranian targets anyway. Iran responded with ballistic missiles at Israel. The deal that was supposedly nearing the finish line is now sitting under active missile exchanges. Trump's words moved markets up. Reality moved them back down. The gap between those 2 things is the entire trade of 2026. Source: Trading View / Writer: Oliver

@MsVeilMoney Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing. Ready for open. 💹

Stock Market is going to open within hours. 📈 Are you excited? ☺️

@OBPinvestments Must be a long term investor

Dreaming of the stock market opening tomorrow:

@DearS_o_n Being judged by people with car payments is not a real problem.

You're a man. Act broke. Delete food delivery apps. Drive a modest car. Live in a cheap apartment. Keep a simple wardrobe. Ignore their judgment. Stack cash. Invest, invest, invest. Set yourself up for life.

@AlanAnnenberg @creativeburne Did you just read the Creature from Jekyll Island or something? It's going to be ok. Promise. Thanks for your input.

@PlanGrowThrive @creativeburne You believe the CPlie? You realize the Fed doesn’t work for the American people? The Fed is a private entity from a consortium of banks. You can’t believe a word the Fed spouts to the American public. Google the Reality Index. You will be shocked.

Kevin O'Leary says you're cooked if you have less than $1.5m in your 60s "I tell people a minimum of $1.5m by the time you're 65 that's the minimum you have to have saved up" "you can actually survive off that for the rest of your life in a very conservative portfolio with 4% interest"

@rektfencer I know what's going to happen: 9am: Trump: "Iran deal this afternoon" 4pm: "S&P new all time high" 6pm: "Iran bombs Israel"

🩸 DUMP BLACK MONDAY WILL HIT TOMORROW STOCK MARKET IS GONNA CRASH HARD BRACE YOURSELF
