Google “3-fund portfolio.” Set a regular allocation eg every pay period and an automatic quarterly rebalance.

Just get the vanguard target retirement fund for the date you’re planning to retire until you learn more.

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

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?

Hi Fishes,

An investment related query. I'm drawing 1 lac/month salary currently and serving notice period with lwd-26-Aug.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Sell or keep my old condo? Condo worth around 450k and still 310k balance to pay off. Mortgage is 2200 (adding HOA) and monthly rental is 2300-2400. It's an old condo so maintenance has already ate 50-60k over the course of 3 past years. Should I keep it or ditch it given that the cash flow is so minimal & upcoming maintenance might take me another hit?

Or… should I take a small loan?
