Hi Everyone,
I'm very grateful that this message board exists. Given that this is my first day on it, I thought I would post some numbers that can be referred back to in the future. I think we are just before or just after some sort of inflection point in the world today.

QQQM $194.87
VBIL $75.26
SGOV $100.43
BND $73.34
AGG $98.82

Why include QQQM? Is it any different in construction than QQQ?

...
What are all these numbers meant to represent so they can be referred back to??? Specifically what is special about the $455.45 price on BRKB? That was the price of BRKB in mid-January. Did you mean the current price in Euro or something like that?

My error everyone, it should have read as follows:
As of 3/10/2025:
BRKB $497.10

To address the other questions, I prefer to use QQQM, but I added QQQ as a backup in case there are modifications to the strategy later. I also added two TIP ETFs (They do have different durations and expenses.) I chose this date merely because that's when I signed up amid geopolitical and market turmoil.

I just think it will be fun to come back and see how things look many years from now, given the state of things in the world. That being the case, I'm adding the following 3 to the list. For some reason, it just makes it more meaningful to post on the board since it has a post number and Date/Time Stamp. It's kind of like a time capsule.

I do not know of a site other than Yahoo Finance that makes it somewhat convenient to account for reinvested dividends, albeit imperfect. Again, I am glad that I found this message board. When I did, the most recent post was #10160. What I have been doing is to keep up with the most recent posts, and when I have the time, work on reading posts #1 through #10159. I'm currently on #5751. It has taken me a while.

I can confidently say that BRKB by closing at $523.01 today, is up 5.21% from 3/10/2025 and ahead of everything else in the first week of the initial list. I won't be posting about this very frequently going forward, but I thought that the board like to see this today. Also, if there are spin offs of a firm or two from BRK someday, that might make calculating things a little more complicated in the future.
