Quitting Deloitte this week. What investment apps should I get now that I’m not tied by independence? All I have right now is my 401k vanguard and fidelity mutual funds. Is acorn good?

Robinhood.

Take out some personal loans from the online fintechs. If you apply on the same day with multiple lenders you can get multiple easy. You can also take cash advances on your existing credit cards. Consider taking a loan out against your 401k as well.

Assuming you have decent credit - shouldn’t be too hard to have $50-100k in cash within the week.

Now you have some cash.

You can trade on margin on Robinhood. Now you 2x cash.

Trade options.

I shorted Tesla before the JRE interview with this strategy. Then I bought a Tesla.

Short SPY on mid term dated options ahead of the main craze of the election cycle.

Actually, if you can’t answer this question on your own... with google... just go to one of the brokerages you see commercials for and buy ETFs.

Make sure you are maxing your 401k - you specifically, are going to need it later.

Personal capital to keep track of everything in a consolidated space.

I also use acorns, but I really don’t think it’s worth the fee. I will probably open a separate IRA through vanguard and just use that.

Stick to your funds and maybe consult a fiduciary financial advisor who can tell you more about your options in your situation.
