coming round to the obvious conclusion that to achieve good investment outcomes, there are 2 parts
to make a good meal, it's good ingredients and a skilled chef
too many people focus on sourcing A5 wagami beef, but dont realize that their own skill caps out at instant cup ramen
i think my biggest ascension as an investor is accepting that volatility is essential for returns (as long as the asset is positively skewed) and submitting myself to the ebb and flow of the markets, rather than trying to achieve low/no drawdowns and a 45 degree equity curve
im not saying that market timing is futile, in fact, it works very well in crypto
rather im saying that generally, even beyond the crypto asset class, fearing any sort of drawdowns is a mental drag on returns
ppl are just not comfortable with variance and overpay for stability
not to scale (since +ve and -ve should NOT be equal, but rather positively skewed), but its what im roughly visualizing
idk if its more helpful or more confusing but whatever lmeow

if i start a public fund the reason is 100% to give myself or related entities exit liquidity as i sell my steaming sacks of shit to the new fund to buy and baghold while i also grift off management fees
double penetration
as of now G's Retirement Fund is doing well and has no plans to shut down or to launch a new fund (yet)
i would argue that almost nobody needs to buy cash flow unless they are nearing retirement, or have certain recurring obligations that give them a lot of mental stress if they are unmatched (also solved by simply having a larger cash buffer)
big big disbeliever of passive income, especially when you are in the revanchist dynastic epochal generational wealth accumulation phase of your life
it's a hedge / stabilizer, but there's nothing wrong with that, esp if it help you play the game better
it sounds crazy but i have friends with residential RE that are just breaking even from renting them out, probably negative post maint + taxes, on a cash flow basis
depending when they bought, yea theres cap gains, but theres also friction for disposal
i think a great test of ability to break down pre programmed societal psyops and reconstruct a thesis on your own is whether you honestly truly blv that "rentoids are lesser humans" or if you are able to see that renting can be (not always is) a superior solution in circumstances
