Suggest he do the same just for a few months since he's retired and doesn't necessarily need growth, if he missed out on any listening to my idea. He assured me that he spoke to his financial advisor and was told everything is awesome.

Fast forward to March, he lost I assume 35% of his retirement. Suggest he doesn't withdraw any of it and try to ride it out until partial rebound at least. Assures me he spoke to his financial advisor and was told everything is awesome.

To be fair, renting isn't automatically a retarded idea. There are many variables and costs that you have to run when you buy a property which you wouldn't need to if you just rent. Besides it is generally cheaper to rent a property worth a certain amount of money than to pay the mortgage. There's also the factor of your father's age, banks will be less likely to loan him money at his age and with his situation (thus leading to worst interest rates).
If he rents a place and invests the remaining of his money he might actually have a higher profit that if he simply buys.

Seems like financial retardation runs in the family You never loan a car on a 5 year plan, you'll end up paying almost double what the car is worth in interest, which is a complete waste of money. You'd be much much smarter to take that 4k, and buy a car outright. You can get a very decent used car for 4k

RSUs are a scam anyway, they should have at least automatically sold RSUs and bought the real stock.
Anyway, don't worry TOO much, price will go up again. They were not necessarily wrong not to listen in January, but by Feb they should've done as you said. Even then, hindsight is 20/20. The real problem is
1- Keeping RSUs instead of diversifying
2- Keeping RSUs instead of real stock
Even then, the reason they were holding onto RSUs was probably to avoid capital gains taxes, the stocks they have are worth a theoretical 25% (or whatever your local tax rate is) above what it says.

I don't think that's really true. I think the problem is that they aren't EXPECTED to be able to compete, so when they do the slightest thing it's a surprise and everyone is pleased. Because of the lack of challenge, they are limited in their will to improve (combined with inherent biological differences -- most women are simply turned off from competition due to genetics), and thus fall off. It's no surprise that the real women who really can compete at the top tier typically come from more complicated backgrounds, usually involving poverty, bullying and crime, yet simultaneously not having too many family issues.

No, it really isn't. A competent woman is, in my experience, at basis valued identically to an equally competent man, but in truth is valued higher due to modern fuckery like quotas and muh equaileggs bullshitery. The problem is that 99.9% of women can't reach the level of the average man (and that's a really, really low bar).
Women ARE valued the same for being able to achieve the same, but since nobody believes they can get there, nobody EXPECTS them to do that. It's not the same as saying that nobody cares if a woman DOES reach this level on account of the fact this isn't the metric they're valued on.

Then he would never be able to get a mortgage even at an insane interest, and you are clinically retarded to think buying when you can't even afford rent is in any way, shape or form even possible. There are most likely no houses anywhere near the pricepoint you think exist in your area either, except maybe in the middle of nigger ghettos.

dad owns 2 funds from german allianz. he put most of his money in them from 2000 to 20015, basically the best time to buy stocks. He's very happy now that the money he put into the fund was around 15% growth. This was in January, he did not sell, now he is still 13% down.

Well, there are certainly some qualities of mutual funds that are scams. Go to your bank and tell them about your plans to save and they'll say the safest way is to invest with their mutual fund because they'll manage the money for you and make sure you get the most out of your money. That's a complete lie, though, they're not allowed to properly protect against risk, to reverse positions, to get out of stocks and into cash, etc., etc. In practice, just buy and hold spy and you're going to outperform every single mutual fund out there at all times, so even beside the false semblance of risk protection they sell to clients, they also lie about their theoretical competence. They additionally pocket a relatively large premium for the privilege of letting you invest in crap quality funds.

indeed, if you're really low income, there's not much chance to buy real estate on fair conditions. However than saving and renting something really affordable are prio. To own the house / condo you live in is basically the lowest risk form of investment and should always be the starting point. You get the saved rent at a 0% risk. There's a big lobby out there trying to make renting look as an especially intelligent financial decision. I don't know how many times i've read how intelligent it is to pay your landlord and put the rest in long term in ETFs

Because the safest investments are only available with massive starting capital, and no matter how stupid someone is, if they're in a 99.999% chance 100% yoy return investment, they're not losing that money.
Meanwhile if you don't have millions to put in investments, you'll have to mostly gamble.
Not to mention that if you have 1b to your name, you will never have a problem living off treasury bond interests alone, whereas someone with $100k to their name needs to daytrade and be top 99.99% investors to make a livable wage off it.
Additionally, when you have infinite money, you can piss 90% of it to the wind and still survive your entire lifetime on the rest. Meanwhile, if a poor person forgets to pay their credit card for a month, the interest might fuck them up for the rest of time as they already live paycheck to paycheck and the additional charge might go just beyond their ability to pay.
The last part is that even when a rich person loses everything, they lose it to a group of people rather than to a single person. Thus, if a rich person loses $1m, they are down 0.1% while 10000 people are up a few quids after commission, taxes, etc.
There is no 'smart investing' as a poor person because no capital, there is no 'dumb investing' as a rich person because all investments at your income level are infinite free profit. But, instead of investing, rich people can decide to waste the money. When that happens, too many people get the scraps so that no single person profits enough to change their fate.

Rental property. Any potential loss of value immediately made up by rental payments since, being rich, you're not leveraged, you get literal free gains even if you were to buy right at the top before corona-chan started (many real estate markets haven't lost a dime in over 40 years, including during corona, because of criminal involvement of multiple parties). Art is great, too. Hold on to literal shit in a box you bought for $5000, it's worth $50m before you can say "it's shit". Never depreciates in value either. VC investing is also a free money printer if your winrate is more than 10% (depending on industry you may only need a 1% winrate to break even). In practice, VC winrate is 30% at the low-end, so always impossibly profitable.

Compounded 7-10% annual interest along with a 2% dividend is very appealing don't you think? Not to mention the dividends are qualified and investing in 500 bluechip companies that do business worldwide is as passive and idiot proof as one can get. If an anon gets a windfall of around 10 million, the dividends around would be 200k usd a year at a qualified tax rate, not to mention the compounded 7-10% gains.

If you cared about dividend returns you could easily do 3-4x better by choosing high-yield stocks, or even ETFs. They'd appreciate at about the same rate as s&p500 except they'd net a whole order of magnitude more in dividends before you know it. If you cared about appreciation of stocks, you would pick a few good value stock instead of the whole s&p500 basket and enjoy 10x appreciation in the time s&p500 gets 2x. In either case you're still doing a lot worse from a wealth-building perspective (which is the only perspective that matters since you clearly don't need income) than in any other high-end investment vehicles around, and you'd still effectively be gambling even though the infinite-time risk rate is 0%.

That's why I said it's a high-end investment vehicle. Real estate is crap if you're not rich. Additionally, you often want to diversify with RE (which means buying RE in various countries and with various tenant disposition instead of buying only locally).

My dad is very strange about his investments. So far as I have been able to gather, the less reputable the opportunity the more trust he has in it. Stock market? Won't touch it. Doesn't trust it. Amway? He did that for a while. Some kind of OTC supplement selling pyramid scheme? Went pretty hard on that for a few years. Selling water filters on 100% commission basis? Absolutely. The biggest and final mistake was a 25k investment in some guy who told my dad he had a water purifier thing he was going to sell to Africa or something. It was a scam. Dad lost money on every one of these things. And that's just the stuff I know about. The man has declared bankruptcy at least three times.

It's not. S&P is more risky than 10 good picks. You can easily rebalance said 10 picks in many ways, such as literally picking the 10 biggest holdings of a s&p500-tracking ETF every year. It returns more every time and doesn't lose as much because you have better control.

My folks, I was lucky, are literally the opposite. The best people with money I have yet to meet. I want to follow their example with everything they ever did with money. They were both doctors but me and my sister always grew up with the impression that we were "poor." Later to find out the truth once they were buying new houses and properties with all the money they saved.

I have so many of these stories. Told dad to buy Apple stock at ~$10-20/share. He bought Telstra (Australia telco instead) bought at $5-$7/share, valued at $3.02/share now. Apple is $275.03 and that's after splits etc. Told my millionaire uncle to buy Facebook pre-IPO through Goldman Sachs ($1 mill US buy in) He said no. Another lost fortune, was in a basement telling a dude about Occulus Rift and how they'd be billionaires soon, google it to show him the same day they announced FB buy out. I'm a freaking Tech stock oracle but had no skin in the game. Finally got some inheritance money. Immediately sense the markets are fucked. Dumped it into Gold/Silver. And Hodling, bought 12 months ago already doubled my money, expecting explosive growth in the next few months as financial crisis rolls on through. Parents bought into housing bubble with dad's inheritance, probably going to lose millions.Time for millennials to take the wealth through the markets. The world the Boomers knew is gone. It's time to adapt or die.

The only child support he had to pay her was paying the cable bill, since they had split custody of me.

I agree the lawyer was incompetent as fuck as he was a friend of my family, but the settlement happened right before my dad died and I didn't have a say in it. It was completely unrelated to his death.

My parents make good money, basically 3.5 salaries/retirements between the 2 of them. They're horrible with money it pisses me off. They've lived at their "dream home" over a decade. They cheap out on everything. They're on their 4th grill, 3rd patio furniture set, bought a shitty chinese "shed" off wayfair for like $700 and it's garbage. On like vacuum 4 carpet washer 3.

Just a reminder, if parents typically listened to their teenagers investment advice they'd be fucked. These stories were the exceptions not the norm, none of these companies were fated to succeed and if anyone here were really an investment savant they wouldn't be posting here in the first place.

Easy to knock the airline in hindsight.
Ironically this is a low key super IQ investment play (technically Buffett's strategy ideology). Many of the great investment strategists only bet on a few stocks that they are heavily educated on. Diversification is basically saying "I don't know what I'm doing so I'll hedge everything".
