rickyt31 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Out of the Vegas plays, Vici is probably my favorite stock. They have properties all over, but they are heavy in vegas. Especially after buying MGM properties. They had no issues collecting money from companies like others did and with everything happening there, I can see the stock really shooting up. I might pick up a call on MGM if they start expanding their betting app in other key states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I rather just buy some bullion or fancy wine and lock them away for a while. I've also contemplated buying a bunch of the first edition Wembanyama sneakers and holding them with their original boxes and put the shoes in vacuum sealed bags. Maybe some sneaker nut offers big money for them in 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use APMEX.com to buy silver and gold. I have a bunch of 10 oz silver bars, a bunch of one gram gold bars and I just recently bought my first 10 oz gold bar. I've completely stopped investing in stocks on my own and switched to automated accounts. Ally invest is my favorite. It keeps 30% of your money in an interest bearing account. I don't know what it starts at, but right now I'm at 4.15% on there. I've also got an Edward Jones account that's all interest bearing cash. I max out my IRA contributions each year and everything I've put into Coinbase over the past year has been into USD Coin, which earns 2%. Physical gold and silver, crypto, interest bearing accounts... The only things I trust right now in terms of investing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know if some “sneakerhead” a decade from now will pay big money for them if they’re in pristine condition with original box.

They said they make decent money off it but nothing you'd retire on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Okay, question for the room: I am interested in a high yield savings account. Long story short, we have 3-6 months of income/expenses in our emergency savings account that we hope not to have to draw from in addition to squirreling money into our mutual funds and retirement. Does anyone know of anything that is reputable in this regard? If so I’d just break up with my bank and go this route assuming I can have a checking account and setup a direct deposit down the road ASAP. @ramssuperbowl99 any suggestions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long quote from a post a while ago, but a co-worker was a sneakerhead from 2009-2013 and sold everything a few years ago. Made quite a profit from it. There is even a store in our local mall for sneakerheads as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a list of high yield savings accounts, beyond that I'd cross check where the physical branches are near you for convenience. Personally, I think the focus on interest rate for emergency funds is overrated so I use a national chain with branches everywhere, really good security, and a convenient online portal instead of the savings rate. Instead I just keep 3 months expenses instead of a full 6 and invest the difference. But that's a personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this, @MWil23 you can just go with a brokerage account and put it in a money market that will likely yield even more than a savings account. Plus the funds are virtually as liquid (maybe a 24-hour wait time at the most to transfer it to your checking account). Plus, it would be extra easy to invest it at will. There really is no reason to keep a significant amount of money in a bank anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyt31 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I've been using my stock accounts as high-yield savings. Etrade has a checking account with 3%, Robinhood just bumped up to 5.25%, and I know Fidelity is around 5% at the moment. My industry was pretty much on strike all year and I burned all resources and savings. So I'm currently trying to save back up while trying to save my apartment/car. I'm debating on dumping my current bank account and switching over to one of these accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
