I am currently invested in the following and am divided as to what the next funds to add. Ideally, I would like to add more dividends ETF like SCHD as considering retirement in 10-15 years time. But having found out recently that dividends are calculated as part of tax even when on DRIP is giving me second thoughts. My next alternative would be to just add more into IVV as I seem to be under-invested currently. - MOAT @ 34% - IVV @ 14% - A200 @ 17% - PLTR @ 15% - IBIT @ 20%

I recently received a promotion and my salary jumped to $120k per year. I'm thinking about how best to use my increased income for long-term savings. Should I max out my super contributions to take advantage of tax benefits, or would diversifying into ETFs offer better growth potential?

Hello everyone! I'm a 45-year-old teacher looking to retire in the next 20 years. I've heard a lot about balancing portfolios as you get closer to retirement. How do I start transitioning my current aggressive portfolio to something more conservative? Thanks for any advice!

Hey everyone! My partner and I are looking at potentially setting up a self-managed super fund (SMSF) to have more control over our retirement savings. We’re pretty green in this area—any advice on where to start, or resources that can guide us through the process? Thanks in advance!

Last year, I started a small online business that unexpectedly took off, and now I find myself with a surplus of about $50k after taxes. I'm keen to invest this windfall wisely in the Australian market but am torn between real estate and the stock market. What factors should I consider before I decide?

"Hey everyone, I do around 200 buy/sell trades a year, and over the past two years I've ended up with two $30K tax bills from trading, which really caught me off guard. I usually don't think about taxes when I sell a share—that’s been my downfall. I'm curious how you all handle your tax situation throughout the year, aside from just timing your sales for tax benefits. Some folks say, ""if you're paying tax, you're making money,"" but that's not really my point. I'm considering estimating my tax bill and setting aside some cash during the year, but then that money isn't available for trading. What do you all do to manage your tax liability during the year? Thanks!"

Hi Brains Trust, just wondering if you can still buy Alibaba on both the US stock market as well as the HKG exchange, and if so, what is the difference and any pros and cons. Thanks so much for any input.

Hi all, with all the news happening around the world. Is it a good time to invest into defence company's? European defence company's are booming, that's all. If so any recommendations? Thanks

Howdy. New to investing here, so I've gone with the most basic pair to start with - VGS and VAS. However, I'm keen to investigate throwing some funds into a tech stock, specifically Nvidia (NVDA). With VGS already tracking an index containing Nvidia, would this be doubling up my money and a bad investment choice?

Hi all. My wife and I have been looking to start building an ETF portfolio and I was wondering is there a general ‘rule of thumb’ when deciding on what percentages of our total investment capital do we allocate to the ASX 200, S&P 500 and Nasdaq respectively ? I understand each market represents a different sized slice of the overall pie, so getting it in the ball park from the start then making minor adjustments would be really helpful. Cheers, Dave.

Hey folks, I’ve saved up $100K and plan to invest an extra $20-30K each year. I’m thinking about going with a low-fee index ETF because it seems like the most straightforward path. But with this much money on the line, I’m wondering if I should get a financial adviser. Every article I read tells me to speak to a financial adviser before investing big money, and I want to do my due diligence. It's just that the ones I’ve looked at are charging $3-5k, which seems a bit much to me. Would you get professional advice for this, or just handle it myself? What’s your take? Thanks in advance.

I’m studying business at uni, and I'm curious to hear from people who have done it: what would you do differently if you could go back to being a teenage uni student? What kind of career would you go for? How would you handle your money? Would you pick a particular degree, or would you skip university altogether? Would you try to save for a property, or would you invest in the share market? For context, I'm wondering whether I should stick it out with my degree, or start working fulltime and invest the money.

Hi Pearlers, Am looking to start an aggressive portfolio with 200K. I like the idea of having some control over the holding and country based weights over a single global ETF like a VDHG or DHHF. I have a 10-15year time horizon and am extremally bullish on Tech and Healthcare and accept the overlap and heavier weighting from the below ETF's in these sectors. Is 12 ETF's too many? Is there more effective wrapper/s to achieve the below? Core: Vanguard Aus Shares Indext ETF (VAS) - 30% - Australian Companies iShares S&P 500 ETF (IVV) - 20% - US Companies iShares S&P 500 Currency Hedged ETF (IHVV) - 20% - US Companies Vaneck MSCI Multifactor Em Markets (EMKT) - 5% - World emerging markets ishares Core Composite Bond ETF (IAF) - 4% - Aus Bonds BetaShares Aus High Interest Cash (AAA) - 2% - Aus High Interest Vanguard GLobal Aggregate Bond Index Hedged (VBND) - 4% - International Bonds Satelite: Global X FANG - (FANG) - Big US Tech - 3% Betashares Global Cyber Sec ETF - (HACK) - Cyber Security - 3% Betashares Global Healthcare - (Drug) - Healthcare - 3% Betashares Aus Resources Sector ETF (QRE) - Mining - 3% Betashares Asia Tech Tigers ETF - (ASIA) - Asia Tech - 3%

Hi there! What happens if, in 30 years when I have hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in shares, nobody wants to buy them? Is that even possible? I feel like a complete dolt for asking, but the idea is quite frightening!
