re: What kind of golf bags are y’all lugging around?
Posted by Negatiger1986 on 4/26/24 at 10:24 pm
Ping hoofer, sun mountain 2.5, Titleist stand bag all good options. Plenty of room for two sleeves of balls, a handful of tees, a light jacket, and a couple cans of zyn. It’s lost on me why some of you nerds need a golf bag that can accommodate a family of 4. But please don’t stop bc it’s helpful fo...

No. Sometimes there are fees associated with buying mutual funds but my intent wasn’t to say ETFs are better than mutual funds. Just a suggestion for this kid. As long as you’re not trying to stock pick and are in quality diversified funds with low fees then you’re good. But I suspect you knew that....

You don’t need a financial advisor. This is the playbook for you, each subsequent step pending there’s still extra money to put into each one:
- Contribute to 401k to the extent your employer matches
- Max out Roth IRA

In each account put funds into ...
re: Oil and gas folks please explain the whole oil /gas scarcity thing to me
Posted by Negatiger1986 on 4/6/24 at 8:08 pm
The stuff that rots and dies has to be in sufficient accumulations, at a sufficient depth and temperature to cook into oil and gas and trapped in a geologic formation such that it is recoverable. Typically this occurs where shallow oceans used to exist - all the organisms in the shallow water die an...

The main difference is that a margin loan may be used to buy securities while an SBLOC can not be. The interest rates on a margin loans are approaching credit card levels - 10+%. SBLOC will be more in line with mortgage rates. ...

I shopped for one of these this year. I think it’s possible you’re misreading the interest rates - that is likely SOFR plus 2-3% which puts you in the 7.5% range. We ultimately opted to pay cash for the home improvement project we are now working on....

re: Zelle money

I posted a “looking to buy” thread on Craigslist for a concert ticket. Trying to get something last minute for less than face value. Had success doing this for years but when ticket transfers went digital, a scammer responds saying he has ticket but you Zelle the money first. I said I would Zelle ha...
re: State Street Undercuts BlackRock, Vanguard With Cheapest S&P ETF
Posted by Negatiger1986 on 8/2/23 at 10:49 pm
I think SPYs market share is driven by the depth of liquidity in the associated options. It is the highest vol on options contracts of any ticker on any given day. I think long-only investors are smart enough to realize that there are substantially identical alternatives with lower fee....
