Name of the game is consistent contributions. Automate to keep emotions out of the process. I like the message.
Word. I feel like exactly what he said (monthly automated investments into the S&P) should be the base-case foundation for everyone.

Crazy how many folks I talk to that think there is no middle ground between trading and investing for retirement. That base-case (in a taxable brokerage, for ex.) for anyone fresh out of HS or college gives you hella options by the time you reach your 40's, possibly earlier.

My homegirl does the same. I hear Fidelity is good with that too.

I'm with M1, they don't really offer consults (that I know of) but the foundation of both my taxable brokerage and Roth is a low-fee broad market index etf + a total international etf. Then a few individual companies wrapped around those.
FYI - did this last Friday and was very, very helpful.

Thanks for letting me know that Fidelity offers these services

EDIT: Here's some info. I may not be remembering 100% correct though:

He did have a series of SPACs out there in 2020, wonder if he flipped those in his IRA.

In the early days of the pandemic, Thiel's data-mining company Palantir Technologies Inc. secured more than 100 deals, including contracts to help governments and corporations combat Covid-19.

His venture firm Founders Fund backed several companies that went public, including vacation rental site Airbnb Inc., productivity software startup Asana Inc. and ContextLogic Inc., the parent company of discount shopping site Wish. (Another Founders Fund investment, lending startup Affirm Inc., came close to listing but delayed its IPO.)

The luxury EV maker, Lucid Group Inc (NASDAQ:LCID) just reported it missed its Q2 delivery estimates.

During its second quarter deliveries, Lucid delivered 1,404 vehicles, below the expected 1,873, while producing 2,173 vehicles in the quarter, which is less than first quarter’s output of 2,314. Back in May, the California-based automaker confirmed it was on track to produce 10,000 EVs this year but unlike Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor (NYSE:GM), Lucid did not meet its EV production target, labeling the luxury EV maker as a broken growth story. However, not all was gloom and doom during the quarter as Lucid signed a long-term strategic technology partnership deal with Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings (OTC:ARGGY) under which it will be supplying components and systems to power future Aston Martin EVs.
