Yeah, I just sold some of my General Mills stock that was a bad decision. I may buy it back in January if the market keeps going down.

Do you have any targets for reinvestment other than General Mills. Apple is being recommended by Motley to buy now as it's down 30% in this correction.

From Mayish to October of this year I was just contributing to index ETFs. This last week I harvested the last of my small cap contributions. End of day Friday I pushed some of that money back into my large cap etfs. 7% down in one week? Seems way overdone.

Like Rain Man, I've harvested a few individual stocks that've done poorly. I got lucky to get out of Micron at 60 but held onto Lam Research and semiconductors have been wrecked. I've harvested part of my position and I'll move back in next year if things look good. They pay a pretty decent dividend for a tech company. They had to dump their CEO which didn't help. I need to follow up and do some more research on this I think.

Question:

I just got a job offer. Salary will start ~120 with a significant increase after about three years. Company offers an IRA that they match 50% of up to 5 percent of my salary (2.5% ). I'll have about 180k of student loan debt.

What resources do you recommend I look at, and how would you diversify?

What’s your risk tolerance?
What funds do they offer?
Do you have other investments?
What’s your retirement timeline?

You obviously have to do minimum 5% to gather all the free money.

So no other investments at all? Any investing experience?
What’s your age? The helps determine how behind you are in saving for retirement.

Can’t help with resources until we have idea of the fund choices they offer.

Keep it simple: invest in low cost index funds. Something like 80pct equities/20pct bonds. Slowly decay that ratio such that in 25yrs you're 50/50 and then look to be 20/80 at retirement.

Don't spend time reading this megathread looking for great alpha investing opportunities.

Hey, don't diss me. I was an investing genius for the last six years. Up until the past three months, anyway, and for some reason I'm an idiot now.

Target date index fun if they have one would be my suggestion too.

However, my work 401k didn’t get any index funds until 2 years ago.

His bigger decision will be how much he can/should put in a year if he’s really got no other investments and is mid to late 30’s. He’s gonna have to makeup some ground there and should think about maxing if able but that student loan debt is basically a second mortgage payment.

Target funds typically charge higher fees/expense ratio and are more conservative than necessary. A 2055 or 2060 target fund likely still has near 30% bonds and fixed income which is too high.

This is just all false (at least in the case of mine). I'm in SWYMX (target 2050), and it's an 0.08% expense ratio and is currently at 90% stocks.
