Say you've been investing for 5 years in Vanguard's 2050 Target Date Fund (VFIFX)

>April 1 2015: $30.83
>April 1 2020: $30.70

Top kek imagine not having gains after 5 fucking years! You'd have to be a giant cuck to put your money in this bullshit.

VFIFX is 90% stocks 10% bonds. What is ultra low risk about being mostly "Aggressive" and running in quicksand?

If it's virtually the same price 5 years later, and you've been collecting dividends every quarter, you still made a profitable investment

2% div yield less 2% inflation means you are flat not profitable.

additionally divs are taxed. you have lost a small amount of purchasing power.

extrapolate the last 5 years over a 40 year investment horizon and you lost extremely valuable compounded growth. stocks were very clearly overvalued 3 years ago. should have started hedging your position at that point already.

>nah, degeneracy doesn't die with lowered incomes. quit worrying about some insta thots getting crumbs and get rich yourself, faggot

Just my take on the subject, considering I have met a few of these kind of girls.
I dont worry -or think- about them, they will just sell their pussy at lower prices. I even think some of them are actually smart despite being inmense degenerates, I mean, blue balling a thousand neets, boomers, and coomers in exchange of money? Since they are all very shallow and have no ounce of shame at least they are doing the smart move.

Compare it to say, the $15 hookers that do it old school. How much to they get in a night? $300 tops? Hell, open an instagram, fuck some local hobby photographer in exchange for a photoshoot every week and the rest just post pictures using filters.

Boom $20k a month easily.

i wasn't holding stocks at all. and they are still overvalued at this level. i'm all cash and gold.

listen up smart ass. i said you would have started hedging out of stocks slowly if you wanted to play the casino. i didn't want to play at all.

just keeping buying the index. it always goes up 7% over 100 years. too bad your investment horizon is 40 years tops.
