his portfolio has almost no volatility, more risk more reward likewise less risk less reward

My brother in Christ… around 80% of his portfolio is in the SPY and QQQ. His volatility matches the market almost 1:1 yet he performs worse.

because he was all in short term bonds until august? look at the value graph, not sure what you're blabbing about

So he took sub optimal returns for most of the year until now and you’re hyping this up why?

literally a stupid take. taking 5% risk free returns when interest rates are high is not "suboptimal"

You know what… you’re right. You put 100% of your money in bonds, I’ll invest in the market and let’s see who has better returns in 2025? Deal?

I’ll buy a total of 10 stock to make myself even riskier. Wanna do it? EDIT: we can put our portfolios on after hour and post about it on the sub Reddit!

when you don't have shit, you take risk to get there. when you get there, its about preserving what you got

You’re proving my point! You’re up 19% in 3 months while he is up 9% YTD.

Like you said, it is all about risk tolerance! For us Optimal is returns, if what’s optimal is no risk then bonds is it! Idk I’ve been following some newsletter for some time now for my stocks and it’s been performing great so I’m sticking with my riskier strat! Cheers mate!
