Unless you are retiring in the next 5-10 years, park that money in a mutual funds/etfs, reinvest those dividends, and don’t worry about timing.

Too high? I think ppl bet on individual stocks but not the market overall. The economy is stable but not great. Rates can’t go higher so ppl buy stocks for better but riskier return

I would say “better n riskier” return vs treasury. Why? What’s your take EY2

Best time to buy is always right now.

Doubling down on what’s been said already, if you are young get in now.

Assuming you are looking to buy and hold. If your purpose is to buy and sell for a quick buck, the answer might be different.

Don’t try to time the market, if you could you wouldn’t be working in PA. The best approach is to be actively buying into the market over time rather than putting in big slugs

Random question. My parents bought stock in a company when I was born for me. This was about 40 years ago. I have never actively traded this stock. Are there any issues with me holding the stock? I have never been adverse to the company that I hold stock in and no firm conflicts check has ever requested a disclosure of securities holdings.

I ordered a new truck about 10 months ago that will be arriving in two months. The price is $36K. I can finance at 0% or pay cash but I was wondering if it was a better idea to pay with a credit card to get the points/sign-up bonus and then pay the balance on the card immediately. Is there any particular card that would be best for doing this? I have a Marriott Bonvoy card but it seems like all I would get from them is 7 nights towards status and 72,000 Marriott points.

Do you have any rules of thumb for what to do with bonuses? After taxes & 401k contributions, I’m trying to decide what to do- looking at balancing: 1)immediate gratification 2)long term wealth creation & 3)mid term savings such as expensive home projects and/or future down payments on next home. Sitting on ~$30k post tax/401k bonus and trying to decide how to allocate across 3 areas. Also deciding if it makes sense to set a standard for me and my wife(similar comp) to follow for future bonuses.

Hi everyone, I’m seeking general advice on how to best set myself up for success. I’ll be entering a high earning job (200k salary) at 25, no debt or other assets. I would appreciate any general advice you guys have, as well as advice on retirement accounts:

Assuming I can max out my 401k/Roth IRA, would you guys recommend doing backdoor Roth, or just max out the accounts and then keep the rest of my savings in a regular brokerage? And why?

My offer was accepted! Yay! But my offer was $45k over listed price. I’m feeling sick! My realtor and I agreed it was undervalued based on recent comps nearby and there’s a lot of development happening around the neighborhood so I’m hoping the house’s value will continue to go up. I love the house and after months of looking I’m so glad they accepted but I just hate how much over asking I’m paying for. Anyone else immediately feel this way? Make me feel better? Or call me an idiot, idk what…

However, I have also encountered companies asking me to expand upon why I didn’t choose them. So I ask: As a professional in this situation, are you willing to expand upon the “why?”
