hi, /biz/. I'm usually a /g/tard but recent events have caused me to get more involved with /biz/. I'm in my early 20s and a recent college grad. In December 2022 I decided to start investing some of my money into Robinhood. It went well, at least I think for someone who just did regular stocks. My mom knows this, she's had some local financial firm managing her money for the past 4 years. She's invested $215k over that time, and her account is sitting at $200k right now. She has a high income and if her money was managed right she should be a lot wealthier. Yesterday, after some talking, she gave me $1k to invest for her. And we've been talking more, she says if I do well she wants me to invest $50k for my grandmother who is in a similar situation. And eventually, she wants to move over her whole account, assuming I get the same returns I was getting on Robinhood (I cashed out in September for a down payment on a used car).
To cut a long story short, what the fuck should I do? Can you link me free learning resources? My mom's giving me a small cut of the monthly profits, so I'm incentivized to actually make some money here. I would have posted this in a stupid question thread if there was one.

Could go horribly wrong.


Split up your investments, if it’s family money you’ll probably break down as follow, 70% in risk averse and 20% is a bit more risky; and 10% risky investments. Only put money in things you know about and if you gamble/risk money make sure it’s money you (or your mom) can afford to lose.

Ultimate degeneracy and highest risk/reward ratio would be throwing money like 1k to 10k in shitcoins. I’m up 45% in two days on a few.

Just say no. Holy shit that's a sure fire way to ruin your relationships, because every gain you make is based on THEIR money, so you get no credit, and every loss you make is all on YOU because YOU were the one calling the shots with THEIR money.

Seriously, refuse to do it. Too much responsibility for beloved family members' money. It's a lose lose situation for you (but don't tell them that, just say you're uncomfortable with it).

Ironically my risk investment has been stable at 9% increase currently, I was up 30% at one point with that one but it’s so volatile it goes up and down 20% often.

I'm going to give you literally fucking golden advice right now. Put that shit in Toshi on Base chain. This is not your average shitcoin, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is not a Jeet shilling, this is legitimately the next 100x maybe 1000x and anyone who can't see it is genuinely retarded and does not deserve to make it.That much in Toshi could easily bring tens of millions, just depends how long you want to hold. You could even take profit early and walk away with millions to be on the safe side. There is essentially no way this coin fails. Thank me later.

I have been telling my mom to look into bonds and gold. And she is interested. I think I'll take the advice of some of the people in this thread and only manage up to 10% of their respective accounts. My grandma needs money for her retirement home anyway so she has to cash some out.
My mother especially needs some more liquid cash reserves that will grow, as she has a business and her business sometimes needs extra funding to grow.
I am reading all your suggestions btw, don't think I'm not!Sadly no matter how much you guys want me to, I won't be investing in shitcoins lol. I myself am invested in Bitcoin ($60 so its nothing), but Bitcoin is pretty risky, maybe I'll put 10% of their account into it.

What is actually in any of this for you? "A cut of the monthly profits"? For that to be any worthwhile amount, it would eat into her gains and completely defeat the purpose of investing in anything other than a basic index fund. She may as well just buy CD's. "Preserving Capital is more important than Maximizing Gains".

So for what might be, what, a couple dozen bucks a month, when things are good, you're going to gamble your familial relationships?

Dude trust me this is the ONLY thing that can actually destroy a family. Infidelity, abuse, addiction, incarceration, death: I'm telling you, those are all things that strong-willed families can and regularly do overcome. "Resentment Over Large Sums of Money" is the one thing that actually can, truly, tear a loving family apart. Usually it happens over inheritances. Don't press the fast-forward button on that tragedy.

Nobody in that financial firm cares more about his mom than him. Financial advisors are frauds, charging up to 2 percent "management" fees. When all one needs to do is ask themselves "Do I want long term capital appreciation with little dividend payout in the short term?" --> click "Buy SCHD/VTI". Or "Do I want income with limited upside appreciation?" --> Click "JEPI/JEPQ/ARCC".

If the whole market turns to shit, then every index fund is going to turn to shit, financial "management" or not. It is out of their control how the market performs. If his mom understands this, she will not blame him.

One time I was at a party with friends, we were talking about money and a mutual friend of mine was sort of bragging about how they were going to be ready for retirement. I ask them what do they invest in? "Oh, we don't know, it's handled by professionals. We just told them we wanted lowest risk possible". Turned out they’ve been investing in bonds at the age of 32. Managing fees are 1.8-2.5% so they pretty much made 0 net gain in almost a decade working. They could be retiring with millions of dollars, but they think they will be comfortable with just 500k. Financial advisors are frauds who prey on people's ignorance, they like people to think that what they are doing is something super complicated when it isn't.
