No kidding man, I need one of these get in on the ground floor kinds of opportunities that isn't just dumb crypto or meme stock speculation. The PR I had bought in at $7.50 I didn't have the resolve to weather the ups and downs, so I sold it at $8.50. Of course wish I still had it at $11 now, but that was still too high an entry price to not have downside, which I'm not willing to mess with right now. And $7.50 to $11 is a nice gain, but it's also not life-changing gains.

What's the consensus on a relatively safe investment with decent growth if you have say $50-$100k to dump in at one time? S&P Index Funds? Mainly Saving for the future, one child, college paid for but doing private school. House and real estate are in good shape with very low interest rates. 401k, Roth, IRA and state retirement between my wife and I. I currently have a Roth invested in both a Fidelity SPY 500 Index Fund as well as a monthly deposit into FLPSX which is their low priced stock fund. Thoughts? Is one index fund better than other if that's the route?

VTI is the entire US stock market ETF with very low fees. Good exposure to everything. With your age you could split a little bit into something safer like bonds. Can get a little Non US exposure as well.

We are going places that we (the human race) has never been before. So much to post and I just don't feel like typing it all out.

Look at Nigeria's recent experiment with their CBDC and BTC. They are smart people even if it is a 3rd world country.

Fasten your seatbelts boils and goyles, it's going to be a wild ride.

P.S. I want BTC to drop to ~$10k and ETH to $500 and I'll be a buyer.

PR just announced a dividend. $0.05 per quarter, $0.20 annualized.


That changes the hold vs sell calculus.

They also declared a variable dividend for 2023. I need to deep dive into that, but at current strip price that looks to be $1 a share. For some that's a real chunk of change.

I'm not sure if that's over and above the standard .05/qtr divi...will check further or maybe someone else can chime in....
