PCE Inflation has averaged 2.23% for the last 10 years. To reduce average to 2.0% over a 15-year span, we'd need 1.54% over next 5.

I don't think people get this. The inflation has been so bad over the past couple years, that our 10-year annualized average has been 2.2358%. (And for what it's worth, the previous 10-year span was 2.1% annualized, so still not 2.0%.)

In order to average a 2.0% inflation rate across 15 years (the previous 10 plus the next 5), we'd have to get inflation to an annualized 1.54% for the next 5 years. If we allowed ourselves the next decade to bri

What should be in my 401k??

22 y/o, I just got my worker 401k from my employer set up. I was seeing what all I could buy in it but I'm not too familiar with the options. If I could I would love to have everything that goes in there go to VOO but it's not an option. I know I should probably talk to a financial advisor about this, which I am, I just want to see what some of you redditors think.

What do small investment firms use for their trading activity? What about larger firms?

What kind of software do small investment firms use? Do they use their own software? If yes, how do they manage to develop their own software?

PSA: You can max out your Roth IRA or other tax advantaged account immediately if you have excess cash you don't wish to invest in stocks

Contributing to a Roth IRA just requires depositing cash into it. That cash could be invested immediately into say a Target Retirement Date Fund or SPY, but you can also just store it as a money market mutual fund, bond ETF, etc. In Vanguard, for instance, you can either immediately store it in the 'Settlement Fund,' which is a money market mutual fund (VMFXX) currently earning 4.5% interest, or you can put it in one of the mutual funds you opened with V

YoY CPI is expected to drop to 5.2% for March from 6.0% for February, the lowest since May 2021.

Consensus for March 2023 YoY CPI is expected to be 5.2%. This shows a significant downtrend from the prior month reading of 6.0% and from the high of 9.1% in June 2022. This would be the lowest YoY CPI reading since May 2021. Of course, the Fed favors core PCE but this is still a good sign fo

What will happen to the stock market if AI causes mass automation and unemployment?

If a significant portion of knowledge workers become obsolete due to massive automation, will the stock market crash? I've been keeping up with the rapid pace of AI advancements and I really don't think society is prepared for a world where a significant number of people are displaced and completely unneeded. It's kind of bizarre to me that there isn't more planning for this situation.

How to take profit from index funds?

Say the fund goes up 10% and you want that 10% profit, is your only option to sell the lot, the other option would be to sell 10% or so of your stock but that will start to reduce your overall stick volume.

In crypto project you get paid rewards etc which you can just cash out without affecting the initial deposit but in stocks you can't do that.

So with stocks like index funds do you generally wait longer term then cash out the lot so it not

Long Term Favorites?

How does Exxon earn more than $400B in revenue while getting only $100B from oil and gas exploration and sales? What about the other $300B?

I was looking at the earnings summaries for Exxon and I found that while it earned $400B in revenue for 2022, it only got about $100B in revenues from oil and gas. Where does the other revenue come from?
