This guy, with his hoodie and ball cap, looks like he’s hung over…asking for spare change.
Not instilling a lot of confidence in me to dive deeper…

So I initially added about 13k worth of comic book related sales to acorns over about a year period during covid days. Since that time, for the past 3-4 years, I’ve only done the $20 a month contribution at max.
Here’s where I stand now:
So by basically just doing $20 a month and just ignoring it, checking it every so often, I’ve now made $5,370 as of today without any effort or time spent other than adding $ to the account each month. But you know, if you don’t want your money to make you more money, all the more power to you.
Imagine if you didn’t lose $3 a month of that $20 a month to Acorn fees how much more you would be up? My brokerage doesn’t charge any fees to open an account and I invest in 0% fee ETFs.

I invest elsewhere as well, but yeah, that’s the only downside but it’s a nice way to just tuck money away and make money. I just check every couple of months and surprised how well it does.

That’s cool. I’m glad there are more approachable ways for people to invest (Robinhood, Acorns, etc) since typical brokerage sites and picking stocks / ETFs can be overwhelming. I’ve just been on a no / low fee kick for my investments lately. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago I got sold on a “managed account” with just over 1% management fee and they didn’t even match the S&P. I closed that account after a year.

I have zero commission/fees for my IRA’s (do my own picks there too) and do individual stocks with Fidelity without fees. And yes, stocks can very overwhelming. I like Acorns approach, sit back and enjoy the 30-40% growth without really doing anything but throw them a few bucks each month.

Bah. Where’s the drama or excitement?
I think I’d die of boredom before collecting any dividends…
Look at it this way… people can stop paying for KCC crap app, invest it as chump change into the markets and watch it grow into something actually useful! Probably make more money than flipping comics too with zero effort or time spent, no packing comics you sold, etc. It’s still a win if you ask me!
Is it even worth stepping out of my house this week?
I didn’t see anything worth making a trip to the LCS. But I do need new bags and “backer” boards. I might have a few books in my pull list waiting from prior weeks.
Use the gas money for investing and making more money!

Some stores are getting ashcans for new series from Lunar, someone here mentioned. I like ashcans!
Which ones?
Batman ashcan for the new series and a DC KO ashcan, I think?

Actually an interesting week for spoilers:
There is a new Spider-Man running around, and who is Peter Parker?
Bane absolutely destroys Absolute Batman, and Batman is reborn, very different.
