Teens don't understand compounding returns. A lot of people on tiktok want to get rich quick. The reality is that almost any/every teen could be a millionaire with simple and patient investing that produces modest returns each year. I made a video that explains the mechanics.

OP thinks regular paycheck investing is dollar-cost averaging, so there's a lot of misinformed foolishness happening in this sub. Jack Bogle defines DCA as a scenario where you inherit $1 million and decide to break it up into smaller portions and invest each portion regularly over a fixed period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa8MqIcMAfM
>2/3 of all stocks had negative returns
the S&P 500 has been underwater about ~70% of the time over the last ~55 years.
bonds outperformed stocks 2000 to 2020, and 1981 to 2011.
the majority of the people on this sub are in for a very painful lesson...
Well what is your opinion on the Roe v. Wade decision. Jk
>just make your regular deposits in stocks across few different industries and forget about it.
this is not Dollar Cost Averaging.
DCA is when you already have a lump-sum of cash and decide to break it up into smaller chunks for investing purposes, mainly to avoid buying a peak. this is the definition used by Jack Bogle of Vanguard in this short clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa8MqIcMAfM
and it's also the definition used by professor Jeremy Siegel in his book The Future for Investors.

good luck catching up TSLA
the biggest downside of cashless IMO.
i deliberately make an effort to use cash as much s possible as it is easier to keep track of how much you spend.
something about the tactility of physically handing and seeing your cash v paying electronically.
paying electronically takes you a step away and distances you from your finances making it easier to spend.
open you wallet you see how much cash you have you decide what to spend and where. and you have that immediate sense of money is gone this is how much i spent and how much i have now.
tap/insert/swipe card, repeat, repeat, there is no actual sense of how much you are spending nor how much you have until you check you bank and see how little you have left.

Had she actually trusted them and fell flat her weight would have been distributed over all arms at the same time (except the last couple who were standing too far away). Instead the fear of falling made her instincts take over which made her reach out to try grasp for anything to stop falling causing the v formation.

I don't think they are are though. At least not when you're making decisions based upon expected returns. It's not about the market going up it's about how much it will go up and over what time frame.
I can believe that 10 years from now the S&P500 will be above it's current all time high but also think that it was overvalued when it peaked in January and thus have been uninclined to invest into it. Maybe I calculated in January that the expected return over the next 10 years from a historical valuation perspective was only going to be 2-3% annually. Now that it's fallen maybe I think the return will be closer to 6-7% annually and that's enough for me to start investing more significantly into it.
You might say, well why would you have invested into it at all if you thought it was overvalued at 4800? I can think of two reasons:
- One, maybe I have a 5% employer match. That return on it's own might be enough for me to put in the 5% needed to get the match but no more. Now that things are cheaper I'd like to get the match plus invest a bit extra because I think valuations justify doing so. Prior to this point maybe I thought I could get a better return elsewhere like real estate.
- Two, most investors agree that it is difficult if not impossible to time the market. I can think that valuations are too high at 4800 but for all I know the market could run to 7000. I don't want to miss that so instead I'm going to just always buy on a weekly basis. Sometimes I'll overpay relative to fair value and sometimes I'll underpay. However, by dollar cost averaging over decades as one would do in a retirement account I'll end up with the average return of the market.
Here's a video that goes over what would happen if you invested $1,500 per month in the S&P over the last 50 years. It then compares that to what would happen if you adjusted that same total dollar amount such that you invested $1,000/month when the market was above historical valuation metrics and $2,000/month when it was below those metrics. Spoiler: You end up with an extra $3.3 million after 50 years by biasing your contributions.
Keeping money in the market because you don't want to miss the top trading days is based on faulty logic:
- It helps more to miss the worst days than to be there for the best days
- The biggest rallies happen in bear markets. If you're there for the best days, most likely you're there for the worst days
- Missing both the best and worst days is better than being there for both

Yes, Inflation Is Really That Bad
As a result of inflationary pressures, the average American household will now need to spend about $493 more for expenses to get through the month than they did this time last year. Overall, consumer prices have risen at the fastest pace in 40 years, meaning this is the worst inflation experienced by anyone not on the cusp of retirement or older.
Rent is the new gas. Surging rent prices – instead of gas – are hitting consumers hard.
Consumer inflation rose at an 8.3% pace in August, and increased 6.3% excluding the volatile food and energy sectors, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Both topped economists' mean forecasts for 8% and 6%, respectively, and dashed hopes that inflation had peaked.
Okay, so why is inflation bad? Obviously, when higher prices outstrip wage growth, that’s bad, because your standard of living falls. Inflation is especially harmful to folks whose income is more fixed—like many seniors. Inflation, when left unchecked, can also escalate quickly. Unchecked inflation can turn a prospering economy into a struggling economy. Some of the residual effects of inflation include the steady rise of prices for goods and services over a period, and many other cumulative effects, which negatively impact economic activity.
Since investors haven’t seen significant inflationary price rises in years, it’s worth brushing up on the most common effects of inflation. This first effect of inflation is really just a different way of stating what it is. Inflation is a decrease in the purchasing power of currency due to a rise in prices across the economy. Inflation is generally bad for the economy because it reduces the value of currency, while the value of goods and services remains the same or increases.
When there is excessive inflation, which means that goods are getting very expensive, this will reduce aggregate demand for products in the economy. This will cause a fall in profits of companies (or even losses). Economists believe inflation comes about when the supply of money is greater than the economy can realistically absorb (too many dollars cashing too few goods).
How does inflation affect my investing?
The rate of inflation is important, as it represents the rate at which the real value of an investment is eroded, along with the concurrent loss in spending, or purchasing power over time. Inflation also tells investors exactly how much of a return (in percentage terms) their investments need to make for them to maintain their standard of living. If the rate of return on an investment is less than the rate of inflation, then the investment is effectively losing money (generating a negative return).

Mazda Turbo is pretty good for what it is... dont discredit Mazda over Honda or Toyota or other japanese brands out there. There is a reason why overseas consumers would call "Mazda" the german of japanese. You totally would get much value for your money to go with Mazda. In 2020 Mazda was ranked no. 1 for dependability and reliability. Trust me... since Ford has departed themselves from Mazda and now Mazda has become a stand alone brand, it's really punching above its weight compared with your usual Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc. A friend of mine just recently purchased 2023 Honda HR-V EX-L AWD, although the body look good but the overall ride, transmission, and interior are harsh and feels cheap. The interior feels so dated and old whereas Mazda feels really premium... Please test drive both and you will feel the difference.
Not really. They balance out. The YTM (yield to maturity) remains the same because the price on the secondary market is down because the interest rate/coupon went up.

Classic inverse V shaped destruction
No offense, but if you are looking at wealthy people who borrowed until a small JPow decision would bankrupt them, your are observing survivorship bias NOT intelligent investing. I'm not talking about refusing to take on any debt. I'm talking about only taking on comfortable debt. "Fuck you money". If one mistake or one bad turn breaks you, you're a gambler, not an investor.
I'm going to start at the end, since you seem to have a number of misconceptions that inform the earlier questions:
> I understand that option prices are affected by iv (among other things) but i would have thought that iv was unaffected by strike price/bid or ask of option etc since its only looking at the expected volatility of underlying asset, not the option itself.
That's mostly false. Your understanding is mixed up.
First, IV is affected by price, not the other way around. It's literally implied by the price the market is setting for the contract. If a stock is at $50 and the market is pricing a $49 strike call at $6.90, that ginormous premium over intrinsic value implies that the market expects the stock price to go much higher than $50, to the tune $5.90 higher. Prices need more volatility to go higher, thus higher IV is driven by higher contract price.
Thus the statement "its only looking at the expected volatility of the underlying" misses the point. It should be obvious that the two are connected. This is why options are a type of derivative, because their value is derived from the price and volatility of the underlying (among other things).
Now back to the original questions.
> My questions are the following: why do i see different ivs for options with the SAME expiry and DIFFERENT strike prices? Like if i expect the underlying to move a certain way before the expiry date why would the strike price of my option matter?
Because a strike of $69 on a call is going to be worth more than a strike of $420 on a call, if the underlying price is $100. The market attributes more value to strikes that have a higher probability of expiring ITM.
Put another way, the stock's final price will follow some kind of statistical distribution of outcomes. Say a stock starts at $50 and we run time forward 30 days to expiration. The final price will be some number above or below $50, or even $50. Then we rewind time and do that again. Repeat a million times and look at the histogram of final prices. The shape of the histogram will be a bell curve (log-normal) around the mean of $50. A lot of outcomes will be in the $49 and $51 buckets and very few will be in the $2 and $200 buckets.
Following so far? No? Here's a video that says the same thing but in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUx_qa0Ju-g
Therefore, the strike that is closest to the mean in the favorable direction has a higher probability of going ITM than a strike that is further from the mean. The market will attribute more value to strikes that have a higher probability of going ITM.
Then when the underlying share price moves, say it goes up $1, we redo the calculation all over again with the new mean and the market adjusts all the values of every strike to reflect the new distribution.
> Similarly, why am i seeing two different ivs for the bid price and ask price of the option?
Where are you seeing that? IMO, that's overkill. I mean, I understand how they are calculated -- you just plug the bid or ask into the pricing model and back-solve for IV -- but what utility does that have? That's just a very complicated way of calculating the cost of crossing the spread.

For a deep, yet accessible dive into the economics behind these decisions, Perun is worth listening to.
Whether or not the “term” is actuate or valid is irrelevant. The impact is relevant.
Doing the job to the letter is fine and all. But it is an active protest against the unspoken rules that you are always supposed to go above and beyond. It is a conscious effort to be disengaged, or as I heard in a podcast recently “work to rule”. Whether you like the term, or think it is not something worth talking about, it is a formal, intentional decision.
If you are actually looking for the impact on the workplace and culture, you might really find the podcast I listen to quite interesting. It is called diagnosing the workplace, here is a link to the video version on YouTube.

Would a Charitable Remainder Trust work here?
How it normally works is; you set up a charitable remainder trust then transfer 100% of the money to the trust and pay 0 taxes. Then use the trust to invest the money and set yourself as the lifetime beneficiary which allows you to make withdrawals from the trust. Not sure if this is possible in your situation but it's worth looking into. Maybe someone here can comment
