Can understand why cause they’re going for $5-10M on reg salaries, but obv those strategies are awful…most reasonable successful strategy I’ve seen on here is as someone buying $250K on AMD when it was $10 and waiting 10 years

No no, I mean like how much cash to keep around for red days on individual equities. Agreed, for reg index portfolio, 80-20 equities-bonds is probably good if young, with cash on side like you said. The bonds also help you buy more stocks when they’re down via rebalancing

Hb making a startup, dunno which is worse lol, taking huge risks in the market or with your time building a web app 💀 But yeah, makes sense, asset ownership is basically a way of living off of others’ labor, taking a cut of their production. I know there are some jobs that earn globs of money, like CEO or principal engineer at FAANG, but those jobs may as well be impossible to get as a reg IC. There’s also over-employment, but that just sounds hella stressful/CIA-operative level of commitment, and also doesn’t scale like startup or shares/options.
