I think if I were investing for a child now - I would consider that international has periods of out-performance.
Surely USA(sp500) has been great the past 15 years.
But - over the past year - international funds have outperformed USA only.
I would consider allocating a portion to international.
(What you are already doing is great! Keep doing it!)
If you want good ETFs for international exposure - I like FRDM IEFA and XCEM
If it were me(and it will be soon for my grandkids in a few years) - I plan to do:
10% FRDM
10% IEFA
10% XCEM
70% sp500 (fxaix is a great choice)
- note.... if you are curious all my funds I recommended were funds that don't include china. I am very anti-china when it comes to VERY long term investing. (100% chance - China will be a BIG problem with us relations before your son retires.)

Gonna be BIG green tomorrow

All I can say is compounding does f\*\*\*ing wonders, and so does 'not giving a shit', thats why a lot of people do better on paper accounts rather than normal accounts. Cut all the emotional bullshit out.
Managed to catch TCGL, QMMM, DVLT and a lot of winners very early during the past 3 months (btw shout out to [this page](https://nextwinningstock.com/) for telling me about them a day or two early) Also BIG UP $RXT MY LATEST WINNER!!
CAN I PLEASE JUST SAY - ALWAYS SELL WHEN YOUR IN PROFIT. You will notice the above stocks, pretty much every one that I was in - went up very nicely, but then all went down afterwards.
As the saying goes all the pigs get slaughtered as the stock market saying goes.

Somehow this got lost... Two #4's haha. OOps

4. put most of the money in a snp500 market eft.
You'll do well, especially at your age. Do you have a Roth Contributory IRA? Put as much as you possibly can in the Roth IRA. Schwab can help you set this up.
With the inheritance, make sure you pay a lawyer to guide you on taxes, etc.
I got an inheritance 10 years ago. I lived off the inheritance for a while and had my employer MAX OUT what I could put into retirement. I mean I was putting the MAXIMIMUM amount of my salary into my retirement every single month - to build up my retirement account, and I was living off the inheritance instead of my salary. My employer was like ??WHAT?? and I was just like... just do it.
That will absolutely help you out LONG TERM with taxes.
Also, if you can, do a ROTH IRA for your company too... 503B instead of 401k. I'd rather pay money now on what I earn, and take out the growth of 20 years of gains, tax free ---- rather than paying less today but pay taxes later on 20 years worth of gains.
Again, talk with a lawyer or with a financial planner and pay a few hundred to get sound advice on the inheritance (maybe that's included in everything you got now as you are working on the will?). DO NOT let some fancy financial planner talk you into paying them 1% of your portfolio to let them manage it. All you want is advice to reduce taxes today. Long term, you want it in a few full market EFTs. That will give you what you need. Don't worry about short term losses, even losses of 30-40% the market will rebound and you have 20 years. So stash it in full market EFTs and DONT look at it. I've been through 3 market crashes - 1999, 2008 and 2021... BIG DIPS and everything has come back just fine.

#THIS IS THE BIG ONE, EVERYONE SELL EVERYTHING!

Yet folks love this man like family…smh BIG UP

#i like the software stocks- JENSEN BIG DIK HUNG... BUY BUY BUY

The crazy spikes during the run are used to get retail to fomo. Thats why you see the immediate drop. Some people say its resistance, but its not. Retail has pdt rules that scare people from selling for a short gain if the price reverses. They get trapped. Then the price settles again lower keeping retail holding. If you happen to hold they know that we will sell at the slightest gains to get our money back and wait for another reentry. Ever wonder why when you sell the price goes back up almost immediately. I don't believe retail has enough money to move the markets. Its the big institutions that use algos and bots. I just believe there are way less BIG players in the market than we believe. They all get some of the profits. They break it down like between themselves to keep retail investing. Nothing is a coincidence. Everything is a psy op to mind fuck you. With that being said...i am up 6% since jan 1. I swing trade for decent but numerous gains. I leave my tax advantage accounts alone. I refuse to leave 50k to 100k in my brokerage for the bug digs to just make money with my money. Good luck

Anyone who lost money today is BIG MORAN!!! If the stock you own is RED, YOU ARE DUMBO!

BIG OLE h PATTERN

If shadow tanker fleet is stopped, Iran is f\*cked BIG TIME

I post my wins as well as my losses.
And this one was a BIG miss. Still up huge all time on EOSE but yeah, shit fucking sucks

The answer is 4 years for me too. It’s still a daily grind and you need to be careful with your emotion everyday. For instance, my goal is to average $500/day. This year I have been green every day, except for 2. But those 2 days were BIG red days because of my emotions and lack of discipline. If you ignore those 2 days, I have averaged $610/day, but only $302 because of those days.
I’m not saying that there won’t be RED days, but those days were so much worse than they should have been, because of my emotions and lack of discipline. For me, that about 5% of my trading days. I need to keep working on get that down.
It’s an everyday vigilance thing. I can’t get complacent, because that’s when the market bites me in the ass.

If this is true... and with this report and the other one it seems to be... APMEX needs to respond publicly to what the fuck happened and how this got into their supply chain because in addition to this guy's report there is the guy who reports multiple purchases of the same one... all fakes as well.
They need to speak to why this happened and how it got in their fucking supply chain in the first place... Additionally they need to speak with how they have addressed the probably thousands of sales of that product they have put out how many of them were fakes how they have removed it from their supply chain and how they have tracked down the person responsible or people responsible and remove them from the system. Only then will I regain confidence in them... You are all missing the point apparently...
I don't want to hear about things happen and it's a big business blah blah blah They made fucking billions last year. That's with a b, a big fucking B and I don't want to hear their bullshit. Hire more people, hire more qualified people to your fucking company, You don't send shit out like this. The other guy that spoke in the comments earlier is right... This one worked out okay... ONLY because the guy found it... BUT, what about the poor guy that puts his life savings into silver and saves it for 40 years and then finds out he has nothing. They're going to replace it then? Will they even be in business selling bad shit by then? Will they pay for what it's going to be worth then? This is all ridiculous arguments... there's no excuse for this... ZERO.
IF THEY ARE HIDING THIS OR NOT ADDRESSING IT PUBLICLY THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM IN MY BOOK AND IT IS CAUSED TO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM AGAIN UNTIL I KNOW AND I'M ASSURED THAT THIS IS FIXED
APMEX NEEDS TO ANSWER TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS NOW

SMOKING BIG DOINKS IN AMISH

1952 Manuel Odria Medal
This silver medal commemorates the construction of the National Stadium in Lima. It weighs 42.6 grams and is rare enough that I literally cannot find anything on it but a brief mention in a publication of the Peruvian Numismatic Association. Lord only knows how many were made. It does have dings from rough handling somewhere along the way ... but I wager you'll never see another one.

I think my prices are quite fair, but I am a reasonable guy who likes to do business. Feel free to make **reasonable** offers, especially if buying multiples.
I accept PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. Please note that my Zelle acts up on occasion, so I prefer other methods, but am always willing to give it a go.
Shipping is $8 to the CONUS. I will send you a photo of the receipt with tracking after dropoff with USPS. I cannot guarantee anything when the package has left my hands, but will do everything I can to assist in the event that a package is lost.

Ben Kovler on X in a question to whether rescheduling is a 2026 event
"2026 event"
Coming from the CEO who was least optimistic about rescheduling since the Biden days till Trump's reign now...BIG statement.

TODAY 25 FEB, I WILL LIKE TO IDENTIFY AS A BEAR. A BIG CRASH IS COMING TO CREATE A MASSIVE RUN UP BEFORE MID TERMS. THE MARKET WILL NOT BE RED FOR MIDTERMS BECAUSE THE DOW NEEDS TO BE ABOVE 50K LOL. SELL GUYS AND HOLD CASH. BUY MARCH/APRIL PUTS.
