You won’t be making a mistake by picking Fidelity. Vanguard is also a good choice as others have said. Fidelity generally has a better UI than Vanguard if that is important to you.

There’s quite a bit of research on lump sum investing vs dollar cost averaging. Here is one example: https://investor.vanguard.com/investor-resources-education/news/lump-sum-investing-versus-cost-averaging-which-is-better

Generally lump sum investing comes out ahead by a bit. However, my personal opinion is that it isn’t enough to always point to it and say that’s what you should do. If you’re more comfortable doing one over the other, then do it.

Generally time in the market beats timing the market, which is what you’d be doing by dollar cost averaging because you think the market is going to crash.

They’re saying he could have started his PhD at 21, not finished it at 21. That age checks out if he was born in 1988.

Because of fucking course it does. 🤦‍♂️😮‍💨

No worries!

You have to look at their comments/replies or whatever. Someone above already posted the link.

I’m not jumping ship yet and am waiting to see what, if anything, happens from here. Maybe it comes out that the same person has access to that official Mastadon account and echoed their opinion there… and maybe it comes out that his comments/actions are disavowed by the rest of the organization.

I’ll wait and see. But it’s not a great start.

I largely agree with what you’re saying, except the official Proton Mastadon account doubled down on that personal opinion. That seems pretty clear that it’s endorsed not just by that one individual on the board.
