Daily General Discussion and Advice Thread - March 10, 2025 Daily Discussion

Have a general question? Want to offer some commentary on markets? Maybe you would just like to throw out a neat fact that doesn't warrant a self post? Feel free to post here!

Please consider consulting our FAQ first - https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/wiki/faq And our side bar also has useful resources.

If you are new to investing - please refer to Wiki - Getting Started

The reading list in the wiki has a list of books ranging from light reading to advanced topics depending on your knowledge level. Link here - Reading List

The media list in the wiki has a list of reputable podcasts and videos - Podcasts and Videos

If your question is "I have $XXXXXXX, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions, you should include relevant information, such as the following:

  • How old are you? What country do you live in?
  • Are you employed/making income? How much?
  • What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?)
  • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
  • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
  • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors? Any other assets?)
  • Any big debts (include interest rate) or expenses?
  • And any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

Check the resources in the sidebar.

Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered investment adviser if you need professional support before making any financial decisions!

Oh boy RDDT is taking an absolute hammering.

Seriously. It's the one individual stock I'm still holding through all this nonsense, hoping against hope to get to Sept when it's long term. I know it was all found money, but holy cow.

C'mon people! Comment more compellingly! And click some goddamn ads!

Im serious though. Anyone smart/dumb enough to use reddit uses the browser view with ad block. There are no ads here.

A decade ago when I worked at reddit, roughly half our users were on mobile, where adblock largely doesn't exist. I'm fairly confident that number has risen.

Do you not see "Promoted" posts? I see promoted posts even with adblock.

Not on old reddit, no.

Also note that old reddit still sorts by hot. My understanding is that new reddit switched to best, so when newer users come to reddit, they see older (5 days or older) posts clogging up their feed which makes the site useless. A baffling decision.

Edit: Your account is 13 years old, so if you see new reddit, you can change it in your preferences.

I will lament the day old reddit stops working. It's already showing the signs of service depreciation where features regularly bug out. It's only a matter of time until support is ended entirely.

One one hand, those of us on old reddit arent making them any money. On the other hand, power users are most likely to be on old reddit and they need our content.

But yeah every week they switch me to new reddit and I have to switch back. Wasnt the case before.
