Yes they have made money but there are so many fake shares that they need AMC to go bankrupt.
They will have to cover one day IMO.

>I get advice that VTI is better than VOO cause it captures mid-cap as well
when looking at the long term, the returns are nearly identical with the exception of the past decade outperforming a bit. Despite the fact that you have exposure to mid/small caps with VTI, understand that they don't offer any real significant impact. its one of those things where theres a noticeable # of holdings, but hardly a measurable difference in performance long term.
a big reason for this is because a vast majority of those small caps are zombie companies that you would want to avoid to begin with. if you want a better overall picture of the small caps, AVUV is your best bet. that's why a lot of people go VOO + AVUV. 0% overlap and with small caps, its one of those things that are just better if left in the hands of active management IMO (and the fees are actually quite cheap for what it is).
same deal can be said about VXUS. you can do something like IDMO + AVDV or SCHF + AVDV. VXUS just tends to underperform compared to a lot of other international ETFS due to the weight of emerging markets (25% iirc) with a lot of junk companies in it.
if you want simplicity, then VTI and VXUS are perfectly valid if it gets you stay consistent with investing. There are better ways to achieve the same kinds of exposure with better results, but just know that end of the day, the best way is the one that you can actually keep up and stick with.

The Samsung 990 Pro is a good choice as well, but its a high-performance drive compared to the SN850X. Its still on the "good" list by Yorickdowne with a few comments, but they are a bit old and I feel that newer revisions wont have these issues: [https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/f3a3e79a573bf35767cd002cc977b038](https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/f3a3e79a573bf35767cd002cc977b038)
I run SN850X in mine and its works great. Ive recommended to many others and they are all happy with it. Save the cash if its in stock and a better price IMO.

Also, and this is me being thorough. You say the dappnode you have from 2021 is SATA. Do you happen to know if its a 2.5" SATA drive or is on of those thin SATA drives? If its one of those thin SATA drives than unfortuantely you won't be able to just upgrade to an NVME drive. You can reply back with a photo or a link to a photo and I can tell you if its ready.
The only way I can think of to test is to delete your keys from dappnode and try to upload it again. If Dappnode takes your password, great you remembered it. If not, then you will need to regenerate your keys from your 24-words.

Oh, and one last thing. You absolutely should download and flash the latest version of dappnode from their github. Don't use their USB that they provided for you. If you got one from 2021 it is so out of date that its significantly easier on you to go flash the latest OS. Also, and this has been brought up in the discord a few times, when you install be sure to have the dappnode connected to the internet via ethernet. The install will not work unless it is connected.

One one last thing. Since you will be taking a part your dappnode. You might as well get yourself some thermal paste, and reapply some to your CPU. It's been 5 years and that old thermal paste is garbage by now, so some new paste will be a good lease on life for your dappnode.

XLE is the easiest most straightforward trade. I own calls and shares.
40% of XLE is XOM and CVX. XOM is the industry leader, it moved first started from new year and has already moved a lot. CVX chart is fresher imho.
So XLE is dominated by the integrated oil and gas industry group. These are the biggest companies like XOM and CVX. There are several other industry groups within the energy sector. Except for oil services, currently all other industry groups trade with crude oil after the Iran war started. Oil services currently trade inverse of crude oil, and more in line with the S&P. I guess cause oil services is more about demand while other groups in energy are benefiting from supply constraints just my guess. After the volatility in crude oil settles down, I expect oil services to continue going up just like they were already doing before the war. So I expect this to be dip hopefully I own OIH the ETF.
When Iran situation alleviates and the US dollar stops getting a bid as safe haven, I expect international oil stocks to outperform the US, Canada has several good ones IMO and SU have been very strong. I also own PBR and WDS.

I was waiting for this. Probably one of the best products in the market IMO and also a great benchmark for Aggressive Hybrid Funds.

Also the US Govt switching to OpenAI for their military AI use. This, IMO, created more stability around the 40% backlog. Add in the confirmed investments from Nvidia, etc, and the backlog isn’t so insecure.
Lastly, though small and likely not material, their IT security might be bolstering them while Iran hacks US companies.
Cybersecurity was rocked in Jan/Feb, starting to pick up

I might be wrong, but IMO, good options traders would not want to give away their profitable set ups. It’s not like stocks.
The alpha is not unlimited.
A few 100 additional orders and the alpha disappears.

For someone your age, that looks great. At your age you can afford to take more risks and nothing in your portfolio (IMO) is too risky other than maybe SOFI – which I also own BTW. I'd be inclined to tell you at your age to add another high beta play like SOFI – 2.8% of your portfolio is a small %.
The most important thing is take a disciplined approach to continue adding. If your employer has a 401k plan with a company match, take advantage of that. I’d even suggest starting allocating funds to a Roth IRA account. I wish I started a Roth at your age.

IMO, it would be a win for the Democratic Party if they took Fetterman, Hakeem, Schumer, and the rest who seem to be on the AIPAC/ADL payroll.

Lets put it this way. If i did what you did, I would do 3 things immediately:
1. Never do that again.
2. Change my diaper.
3. Make a note to never do that again.
Let me clarify. Everyone who does a 5-30 second scalp .IMO he either lacks experience, or he lies. For me that one never worked and I really dont see how it can work. You pay the fees and get filled at a disadvantage, you got to be extremely fast and I dont see how this is sustainable. You also said you risked much more than you made. How is that sustainable? Its not, you get burned sooner or later.
How I do it -> Always go for at least several minutes with tight SL, and scalp only on areas of interest that you analysis tell you it will produce a drop or pump. I take it, if everything aligns and depending on the time I got I can either close it fast, or wait longer to see how the price reacts at my next zone of interest. if i get what i need, I will leave it more, and this way it can be transformed into a swing. At least thats how I do it and get consistency.

IMO, For the first trance, it makes sense, as it seems Celsius benefitted from Pep distribution.
For the second trance, it is Pepsi who benefit more from Alani Nu distribution. Alani Nu have already proved that they can scale to $1B+ sales without Pepsi involvement.
CELH could have negotiate harder and issue common shares instead of preferred shares for 2nd tranche. Maybe Pep is just too good at lording over others. Or maybe CELH mgmt may not know the difference.

Got me. I'm not a numbers guy. A lest not enough of one to get into those sorts of calls. But I see plenty of evidence that MI350 as a platform isn't done with it's ramp and there are lots of markets it's able to target now and containing forward where Helios is just overkill and more expensive. It won't be until MI500 comes out in Helios racks where MI450 gets into smaller more traditional rack drawers IMO.

Hope that it works out well for you.
At your point, IMO, this is pretty straightforward. However, as you approach and enter retirement it gets more complex. Accumulating a portfolio is different from living off of one, especially in terms of risks and mitigation strategies. So about 12 years out from retirement consider revisiting all of this, and start planning for how to structure things for retirement. Again, IMO.

It's only irrational if you don't think they'll deliver. Having been on this stock for going on 3 years now, I've watched them grow and hit milestones. I've done as much DD as anyone. When I bought, it was to hold until 2030. The tech is legit. The business plan is legit. The company is legit.
"Meme stocks" like GME and AMC don't go up because of what they can do. No one actually thought either of those companies would be worth those prices at any point in the future.
This one, IMO, will be worth 10-20x what it is now. So I bought and held.
If I waited for contracts, I'd have missed buying at 9 cents and would be stuck buying at $9.

You are at TIAA CREF -- do you have access to either CREF Total Global Stock or CREF Global Equities? CREF Total Global is a serviceable VT substitute IMO. Global Equities is also okay but lacking small caps.

-3.5% from my port. Mostly RIVN which is a long play (IMO) so I'm not sweating it...too much.

Bought more ONDS under $10… The PLTR link is a pretty good sign they are going deep AI on Drones IMO

IMO any ER below 1% is good enough to avoid the headache of rebalancing every now and then. Still cheaper than many managed funds.

The new ones don’t milk spot nearly as bad and IMO look cooler. It’s an ounce of silver though so if you can get it within a 1% or 2% of the older ones or generics I’d go with the new ones. They do much better on the secondary market.

I generally tell people, specifically with all-in-one, multi-asset funds like TDFs, that it's better to be either 100% or 0%. If you have multiple funds, it kind of defeats the main purpose of an all-in-one fund. If you want something different than the TDF, just ditch it and do what you want.
Not that it hurts your returns to be 70% in a TDF, just that, IMO, it's a bit silly.
