the only thing I own moving sideways the last 7ish years is CL. I think since @rick81721 decided to retire the shareholders said “I’m out too”
at least it yields 2.5% div. and the downside risk is small. gotta brush your teeth!

Market is getting crazy hot though. I’m a little wary it keeps pushing up. Bubble coming, 3 months, 6 months, two years. It’s coming I’ll be right haha.
You see it in housing prices and and analysts and firms keep on pumping. It’s all sunshine and roses. Meanwhile, wages aren’t growing significantly.
Just an observation

Question concerning Roth IRA: when do you determine when to contribute and how much to contribute in the case of what your gross income and all that stuff is? I always thought it best to just contribute as soon as you had the extra money. But apparently my thought process might not be the best. I guess what I'm asking is: Do you just wait until W-2 and contribute before filing tax returns?
I find regular contributions into retirement funds are easier to swallow.
But your way works too.
You probably know in advance if you are going to hit any wage limits (??),
but can back it out before filing if you did exceed them.
This is in addition to employer sponsored plans?
i struggle with this too. my wife works real estate so we're never sure if we're going to exceed the roth IRA limit. therefore i usually just wait until the taxes are done. if we dont exceed the limit, ill pull money from savings and max out the IRA. if we do, ill invest otherwise.Question concerning Roth IRA: when do you determine when to contribute and how much to contribute in the case of what your gross income and all that stuff is?

Extra money should go to new bike fund. Or real estate. Mostly new bike.I always thought it best to just contribute as soon as you had the extra money.
I used to get an end of the year bonus, so that was a nice chunk to throw in to an IRA. I never counted on that money so it was always "extra"
Ha! No. I didn't think I would exceed limits but it's looking like there's issues and I'll be penalized if I don't remove money. The new company now has a 401k match so I also have to reconfigure those contributions to max the match. And if I'm not fired before then, I'll also be getting a retention bonus eventually which needs to go somewhere too. (New bike? ?)
And this comes really comes off as a first world problem... But I'm trying to catch up for years of not being able to save anything.
Loaded up on APPL and MSFT on last Friday. Been riding these 2 on the way up for quite a while.BUY! BUY! BUY!
Looking to add to my stock portfolio - with the slight down turn in the market. Any one have any hot stocks they like that are currently at a discount? If not may go blue chip route.
buy only if you willing to hold many years
@Patrick are you saying I shouldn't buy rental properties as a side thing that will 20+ yrs turn to set for life/generations. Man, the Mrs wishes she listened to me when I proposed to buy a two family home in Somerville last decade to start
