I have a cost basis on UNH of 295. Sold 30% of my shares last week. Holding the rest for the long recovery. I think they will easily hit 420 again.

Had a buy for a share of Google at 2500.00. It just kept going up and finally bit the bullet at 2700.00...good call on my part...not.

Well, this was clear back in 2022 and was a very good decision over the last couple weeks.

Good day today.

All I gotta say is SMR's have shaved a considerable amount of time off my work career. Holy cow, I have had a week. I took some profits, but also am still heavily invested. This will go down as my best year ever for investing more than likely.

 

[Pharmseller]

Today was a good day.

 

[Pharmseller]

Tomorrow will be a phenomenal day in a good way.

I hope so. What do you think will be the biggest catalyst?

No clue. I’m an investing idiot who got lucky with four stocks.

Thrift Savings Plan — I have a large balance that’s been in the G Fund for a while. Any thoughts on how to reallocate it? C Fund is S&P 500, S is Small Cap, I is International (excluding China.)

Part of me thinks the I fund will outperform moving forward as the dollar falls with the rate cuts. But as the S&P 500 goes, so goes all those international markets too.

Move it all and reallocate all to the C fund. Since I’ve done that I’m up way bigger than the G fund or the lifecycles

I made all my money in the c and s before I retired. It served me well to say the least. Max out the yearly contributions for 20 years and you will be a millionaire.

I quit trying to figure things out back in 2012 and just invested in Vanguard S&P 500, small cap and mid cap indexes in my 401k account. A few years ago I simplified even further and put it on in S&P500 index. VIIIX I think it is.
I won’t need it for 12 years. If it doubles in that time I’ll be pleased, any more than that and I’ll be tickled pink.

The I fund has out performed the S and C fund bc of tariffs. Look back at when the announcement happened and you’ll see the I find take off. C fund has been lagging, with the BBB coming into effect soon the c fund should benefit idk if it will gain much by the end of the year, will probably see that effect more next. I’m heavy C, and mutual fund in the tsp account.

I like the mix in the aggressive lifecycle funds, so I’m just all in on one of those. Seems like history favors more C though. I’ve contemplated a switch but haven’t decided on a new strategy yet. Will probably open a mutual fund window soon to get some btc exposure in my tsp.

I used to have 60% in C, 20% in S, and 20% in I. I've switched to have 100% new allocation all in C. Since doing this, I've made 175k in six months.

I'd put it anywhere except the G fund. That's like a savings account as far as returns go. I have typically stayed away from the lifecycle funds as well as there's too much allocated to the F and G funds.

My lifecycle fund has outperformed C ytd… but I should put that 1% that’s split between F and G somewhere else.

If you want to capitalize off the TikTok deal, Oracle is going to be the host. Not my cup of tea, but it will surely go up.

Haha says who? I made plenty of money serving my 20 years in Corps, plus now with my pensions and Va benifits. I’m doing better then most 38 year olds if I had to guess.

Plus I’m young enough to continue investing and living off dividends and passive income from rental properties.

If people would investing smartly and heavily in their 20-30s it would make their retirement outlook and age much easier imo.

Everyone is different and has a different cost of living and way of life. Having the freedom to do whatever I want at this age within my means is priceless to me though. Very happy I lived with a budget and within my means.

Also helps my wife’s a doctor and is also extremely smart with money and investing as well, which afforded us the opportunities to be able for me to invest into our retirements heavily during my military and younger days.
