I would certainly buy 100 to 200 shares of NBIS (6.5k to 13k). Actually, I'd probably buy a lot more than that...

I would also buy 2,500 shares of HGRAF.

GOOG is still undervalued (so they say).

There's also the broad market ETFs.

Try getting into HGRAF today since it’s dipping to 1.15 right now.

Depends on a lot of variables very dependent on your finances.

The shot in the dark answer is that invest in very low cost broad index funds

What percentage of your total investments is this $50k? How old are you or how soon will you need it?

If you don’t need the money in the next 3-5 years

If you have your 401k and / or Roth IRA maxed out and your rainy day fund covered

VTSAX and don’t look back.

People are gonna give you a list of Chinese scam companies like nbis or Sli or boring index 2% a year stuff


If you really want to make money go buy 2 old reliable full size trucks and 10 pressure washers


Then you go to a halfway house and pick up 10 guys but make sure 2 of them have drivers licenses

You can send them to canvass the nice neighborhoods on foot offering their services while you keep the lions share of the money

You can call it something cute like “12 step pressure washing” and if the guys screw up call the parole board

I would hate to be so generally pessimistic about life.

Nebius Group recently increased its revenue guidance, forecasting an annualized run rate of US$900 million to US$1.1 billion by the end of 2025, while planning to quadruple global data center capacity and raising US$1 billion in convertible notes to fund its expansion.

Why do some people on here think VTSAX is better than VOO? I thought VOO was the gold standard for S&P funds?

VTSAX is total US stock market, VOO is only S&P... Both are great investments but not the same thing
