One way you can try out npm packages is to use RunKit: https://npm.runkit.com/dinero.js npm pages for packages all have a "test in your browser" link that goes to RunKit.

That's a good point. Deciding to go with those is still a choice though. It's like going to a restaurant that has both an omakase[1] option and regular dishes. Versus a restaurant that only offers omakase. The latter involves even

I totally share[1] your feelings on the lack of financial education. In defense of my friends, they already knew to fund their 401(k)s. The question was what to do with their free cash. And considering the risk of losing money, any amount o

I have both Betterment and Vanguard accounts. I haven't bothered to consolidate yet because Betterment is trying to add value to justify the fee with features like tax loss harvesting, and I haven't decided if it's worth it o

That's better than the alternative of not investing at all because Vanguard is not user-friendly. And I know that's possible because I have friends who were in that situation. If you sign up with Vanguard, you still have to pick w

We do need active investors, but the average person shouldn't be one if his or her goal is long term wealth generation. That doesn't mean maximizing security. It means maximizing the expected risk-adjusted rate of return.

It'd be possible, but you can buy index funds on Robinhood already. Other services that are built around long term investing provide additional features like automatic rebalancing and dividend reinvesting. An API could allow you to emu

I agree Robinhood is better than the incumbents in multiple ways. But at some time, other startups offer similar benefits while promoting an approach that is more likely to help the average person increase their wealth in the long term. I d

The Vanguard website/experience is definitely not that user-friendly/modern. That's the main reason I usually recommend Betterment to my friends instead.

by dguo 9y ago
That is true. I'm not saying Robinhood is all bad or can't be used in good ways. My concern is that overall, the product and marketing seem to be geared towards speculative, short-term trading. When I first signed up, the app was

I appreciate the zero commission trading, but at the same time, I'm worried about the attitude towards "investing" that they promote. Most people should arguably be putting their money into index funds and holding for the lon

Haha hey Mark! Yeah, there's a lot of inertia to getting started, but it feels really good to produce writing rather than just consume it all the time.
