Anyone have any success with a leveraged ETF portfolio? Ran across Hedgefundie’s adventure and I’m intrigued, but not sure if it’s worth taking the risk. Fwiw I want to start small (like $1k) and DCA

I recently started putting everything I can into Hedgefundies strategy. Vanguard won’t let you trade leveraged ETFs but fidelity will. Also better to do in a tax deferred account so you don’t run into tax implications when rebalancing. Turning 10% avg expected return to 16-17% makes retirement come a lot sooner

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.

What is everyone’s take on the NYC housing market? More people and businesses are moving out. I’d imagine it has to continue to dip.

I’d think that has to ultimately impact home prices.
