AVUV - Avantis US Small Cap Value etf

This is enticing....

The unrealized promise of small cap value and all makes me pause though.

This seems rather appropriate to post here. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr0dyy152jo I guess if I know I lost 10,000 or even a million yen, I will always know it was 10,000 or a million yen. But this poor guy must have a lot watching the price of BTC go up in value. He will have this mental p...

Hey everyone. Unfortunately I’m going through the middle of a divorce, and I can see it’s going to be in my best interest to stop my Tsumitate NISA (and iDeCo) until everything is finalized. Is there a way to temporarily stop my monthly payments until everything is sorted out? I really don’t want t...

I'm not sure, if cryptography is broken, cryptocurrencies will be the least of the concerns. And if algorithms are updated to account for quantum computing, that will be applied to cryptocurrencies too. It's like worrying about the stock market if nuclear war starts. That was where the conversation...

Again, I still think the hoarder bettering on 256 elliptic curve cryptography lasting their investing lifetime is the more realistic concern.

It's easier to ignore in Japan, due to the extremely unfavorable tax policy. The FOMO can be hard, just as with NVDA, or even gold recently.

It helps that my wife is complete dismissive of crypto, and I don't want to be "that guy" when it comes to having that discussion.

3. In thinking through and trying to present it in a meaningful logical way, along with feedback pointing out my many errors (thanks to those who take the time and make the effort to educate me. I sincerely appreciate it), I get to clarify my own understanding of the topic. I appreciate anyone who'...

Thank you for your replies. I already invest in all country funds and was trying to get more specific exposure to European stocks. Understood about the VGK tsumitate option but one challenge is that it throws out dividends and I actually prefer if they are internally reinvested in the same assets l...

Never. Always do both. Justification to follow... I appreciate you engaging with the topic, but I cannot help but feel you ignored the main focus of the post, and wrote in length about the generalities of each plan. The thought experiment was this: I can contribute 68,000 yen monthly to iDeCo and a...
