My mom has a wealth manager to maintain her retirement shit. I'm pretty sure her entire financial plan is to just maintain the same income no matter what the market does until she dies. It has worked out rather well for her so far. There are some funds she has that I still don't fully understand but they aren't typical investment style accounts to make money. Almost like an insurance. Either way it's all going to me when she's gone and the wealth manager is being cut out. He gets 1% but no yearly base.
One of my friends was put into a bunch of crazy funds with leverage and wonky shit and all of them had expense ratios of like 1.3-2.0% and YTD gains of like 5%. Meanwhile no brainer easy af VOO is up 9.5% YTD.

Fucking scabs.

I made sure to check all of the funds she was put into. None of them have crazy expense ratios and most are just mutual funds of things most people invest in anyway. If it was anything crazy I'd have had her pull out of whatever nonsense it was. I'm pretty sure the wealth manager gets a kick back of things he put her into but none of them are bad so what do I care if he gets something out of it? She's only being hit for 1% anyway. She's too old and knows nothing so I have to make sure she isn't taken advantage of.

More on those ATHs yesterday. Doesn't look great under the hood. Not calling for corrections, but could very easily see some profit taking & rotations happening soon. OpEx this Friday, btw.



Just took my AMD and SMH profits.
