Spacex IPO fast tracking as the beginning of a development?

I've been reading a lot lately that ETF savers are saying that Spacex's fast tracking isn't that big of a deal because it's not expected to have a big impact overall in the ETF itself. That may be true, but I find the whole thing rather worrying if you see it as the beginning of a development in America. Who says that you can't just do the same thing with OpenAI and other larger IPOs in the future and potentially make a lot of money in bubbles as a saver/investor

34 years old. What kind of investing would it take to retire in my 40s?

Turning 34 next month and I can't get excited about the traditional retirement timeline. Every piece of advice seems to be "max your 401k, keep buying index funds, retire at 65." Maybe that's fine for some people, but the idea of waiting another 30 years before I can really enjoy my time sounds like a nightmare Asking from investing perspective: What would someone my age need to do to have a realistic shot at retiring in their 40s? How much would I realistically need invested by 40? Is retiring

TIL Warren Buffett made his first Billion at the age of 56!

So Warren Buffett became a Millionaire at the age of 32 but it took him 24 years to go from 1 million to 1 Billion. Compare that to Tech billionaires and especially the top 10-20 richest people, like Bill Gates, Zuck, google founders, Musk, Bezos etc. this seems very slow indeed. But it makes sense given his methodology of Value Investing. All the other richest people in the world are founders. I think Buffett is a only one of handful of people who got to be one of the richest in the world witho

German banks and the art of sending letters

First of all: Yes, I know. Neobank here, neobank there. With Revolut, Trade Republic and Co. I could probably have saved myself this. But I had to vent for a moment. In good r/finanzen style, I occasionally take advantage of new customer bonuses via mydealz & Co. At the beginning of the month I opened a current account with Santander and a deposit with Deutsche Bank (maxblue). The KYC process was surprisingly unproblematic for both - no WebID strangling, no having to photograph me ten times

Cuba Bets on Solar Power as Energy Crisis Deepens

Cuba has been experiencing a worsening energy crisis for several years, which previously led it to rely heavily on Venezuela for its fuel. Following the United States’ intervention in Venezuela in February, the energy crisis has grown even worse, as Cubans face regular blackouts and the economy suffers. Cuba requires about 100,000 barrels a day to power its grid and meet the regular transportation demands. It fulfils just 40 percent of this demand domestically. In January, the Trump administrati

Best sources for digging into ETF trading/mechanics - institutional perspective

I work in asset allocation and have started helping PMs review tactical ETF exposures and possible substitutes. At first there was some really low hanging fruit but now approaching the need for more under the hood of the trading/implementation side - volume, bid/ask spreads, underlying liquidity, creation/redemption, market makers/APs, basket mechanics. I understand the basic concepts, but I’m trying to build the practical judgment to assess when each one actually matters and how to evaluate tra

Random thought process

Friend asked me a question today. “How to reach 30k€ income in a month?” so the thought process is that ASAP how ever ways you can think of would you be able to reach 9-12 mil € and then invest that so that passively you could get 30k€ every month. My idea was to try to open a company that could later be sold at that needed value. Second and last idea I had that if you would be super lucky and have had 1k€ in early crypto then the goal could have been reached too. What are your ideas? Go! submit

Neither side has released the text of the military cooperation agreement or offered details about its scope, making it diffi

Do we have a corporate bond wiki here?

Guden to the group, I have about 7K of cash left that I would like to invest in (corporate) bonds. But since I don't know much about it, e.g. what influences there are on bonds that change the value, etc., I would like to read up on the matter beforehand. A stock ETF is out of the question because I need the money in 5 years. Since the amount is now so small that I can easily handle a draw down of 20% (I bought a lot of stock ETFs on liberation day), I thought

How much of the U.S.–Iran news is already priced into oil?

Earlier today I was discussing with a friend how oil could react if a U.S.–Iran ceasefire or broader deal started looking more likely. A few hours later, reports emerged suggesting that a tentative agreement may be under discussion, pending approval from President Trump. As the news spread, oil prices began to react. My initial thought was that easing tensions could reduce some of the geopolitical risk premium that's been supporting oil prices. If that view gains traction, we could see further d
