Every deal on there has been passed over by the major players in that space so you really have to do your due diligence here

Mostly true.

curious if you’ve done due diligence on equity crowdfunding performance and can share?

No I have not. I’ve only watched their pitch videos

Is equityzen any better in terms of startup investing?

Equityzen, in theory it lets you participate in a group purchase of existing shares of later stage start ups.

Sometimes they will have “flash deals” where you can be the sole purchaser.

Sometimes you will see deals where they are participating in a funding round.

Not sure how they get around sale restrictions.

Equityzen has a much higher starting purchase requirement as well.

Haven’t used it personally yet.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

When to sell at a loss?

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?
