Say, does anyone here have experience with Fidelity? The Idaho State Board of Education is replacing TIAA CREF with Fidelity this December and our accounts are all going over (except for annuities).

My 401K is through Fidelity. The packages we have to select from are fairly limited and generic -can't add any bitcoin etfs to my 401k (even though Fidelity has some) , for example, but it performs well, app is decent. I have my own, self managed IRA and exchanges to add some excitement and risk to my financial experience.

The company I work for uses Fidelity. I use a brokerage manager for it and they out proform the Fidelity accounts hands down.

The announcement I received mentioned more flexibility and specifically, the brokerage manager feature - TIAA does not have that. Looking forward to learning lots more about it. All of my TIAA retirement is in Vanguard

Thanks for the insight. TIAA limits our choices as well - no currency etf's there either. We've been told that Fidelity provides more choices - our TIAA account is all in Vanguard Institutional Index Fund Institutional Plus, which will automatically transfer to Fidelity, so we'll keep it there for now, but looking forward to learning more about the options Fidelity provides.

My 401k portion of my fidelity account allows me to open a brokerage account within my 401k. I can trade anything I chose to. Overall, over the last 3 years I'm over 25% on interest gains only. Talk all the crap about current administration, but man my retirement loves em

401A, Roth and Traditional IRA all with Fidelity. No complaints on my end.

Pennsylvania passes Bitcoin bill related to the right to self custody. There is also a rumor Wyoming has/is going to add BTC to state treasuries.

Pennsylvania Passes Bitcoin Rights Bill - Brave New Coin

Pennsylvania has taken a major step toward providing regulatory clarity for digital assets, becoming the latest state to pass a bill that establishes guidelines for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

That brokerage account sounds pretty cool. If you don't mind me asking, is there a separate charge for trading using the brokerage account?

There are no additional fees. I have read that some plans still limit what you can buy within your 401k brokerage, but mine does not.

I have been buying and selling Micro nuclear companies. The swings will make you vomit, but plenty of money to be made if you time it right. Not sure it's related to much to election, but I have a feeling if Trump gets in, Nuclear energy will be our future. The biggest issue is usually permitting.

I don’t have any specific trades but I would be considering putting on a stop loss just in case…..

If "green" is the goal, it seems like either party would need to support nuclear.

Either party could probably easily change the narrative on nuclear to be "less scary" with a little media help.

Thanks for the information. Looking forward to learning more when we are switched to Fidelity in December.

Where's the US dollar headed in the next few years?

Exactly where it's been headed the last 100.

 

[MountainTracker]

According to this, it’s going down. The purchasing power of the USD is dropping, endless printing (silent tax) is making sure of that. Nations are moving away from the USD (BRICs). At some point oil will cease to be valued in USD. The USD has surpassed its life as a world currency.

That's pretty interesting, but some of those graphs seem to be in inflationary terms, obviously we could buy more pretzels with a dollar 50yrs ago compared to today. It's seems small percentage shifts in the dollar to other currency, say 5-10% really seems to impact how of money into our markets vs out to other markets abroad. On relative terms in the past 10 yrs, hasn't our dollar been stronger? Or at least part of the reason for the 10-14yr bull market?

Where would one find a list of these types of companies to research?

As M2 supply increases the markets increase. Holding cash is a melting ice cube bc of the inflation. The only way to fight it is to get into things that increase in value as the M2 goes up, so you can keep pace or exceed inflation. If you look at charts of the M2 supply vs stock market you’ll see they follow each other.

The dollar is stronger for us because we are closer to the hose kicking out the dollars. Meaning we spending it first vs other nations who get well after the US has spent it and printed more.

Inflation has a major effect on the future value of a currency.

(There are other things that affect a currency. I’m just a normal guy who is always learning. So if there is more to why our currency isn’t going down in the future I’m willing to listen.)
