anyone else excited about this ?

[raise_happy]

just a quick question.

is the sng wiz quiz worth doing or should i concentrate on reviewing hands?

[blackize]

Why not do both? SNGwiz quiz is especially good if you do like 50 hands and double back and see what you missed. And fiddle around with ranges/stacks to see just how off you were.

Assuming long-term, easiest answer is an index fund, which is basically a mutual fund that buys all the stocks in an index, like the S&P 500. Low management fee, will prob. get you a high-single-digit return over time.

Slightly more in-depth answer is that greater risk gives greater return over the long haul. If you're looking to put it away for a long time and won't get affected by the swings, look for a more aggressive fund that focuses on small-cap stocks or emerging markets.

Again, though, if you don't really want to get into it and just want decent return, an index fund is about as good as it gets.

So, some [censored] called me at like 8 this morning - about 2 hours before my alarm usually goes off (I'm on poker hours) waking me up early...

...Apparently it was Sweaters/Goggles ass sitting on his phone and calling me by mistake. No wonder that message was mostly blank with exception of a few gassy noises...

And yes, lol Westcoastaments, and lol assdialaments...

search the finance forum for old posts asking the same question. basically you want index funds like the venetian said. first open up an account at vanguard.

here is my breakdown:

Vanguard Value Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard European Stock Index Fund Investor Shares
Vanguard 500 Index Fund Investor Shares
online money market

its not perfect and i still want to add a few more (emerging markets) but all my liquid is stuck in Pstars right now. but hopefully that gives you a good idea. and the percentages in each depends on your age and your risk level. i dont have my percentages right now but mine is basically the average risk option for a 22 year old

If I buy a WCOOP 530 ticket from the FPP store can I just unregister and get the 530 T$? These are actually pretty good deals $ wise, not as good as if you can 50% money the 5400fpp sats but close.
