Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Index trackers are how to not lose more money on the stock market than the wider market loses. Instead trying to pick stocks that will beat the market average, these funds aim "to closely track the index's return".
Until a month ago Jimmy Poorhouse had never heard of them, which is why he would post here trying to boast about his ability to produce returns that are an average of less than half what one can make by simply tracking the market indices. Now he claims to have "most" of his money invested in "ETF's" (he is, of course, too dumb to know the name is actually ETFs).

Jimmy Poorhouse is so financially illiterate that he doesn't even know the difference between a market index and an exchange-traded fund, as he makes clear in this post:

The reality is that a market index tracks how a certain group of shares (or bonds or other investments) performs. Some tracker funds track market indices and exchange-traded funds are a type of tracker fund, so some of those also track market indices. Unfortunately for Jimmy Poorhouse, he was too angry at being exposed yet again as a liar who knows nothing about finance that he didn't bother googling properly before claiming that "I have the most of my money invested ETF's" which have "made me a ton of money", so he didn't know the difference between a market index and a tracker fund and an ETF. In fact he still doesn't, as his reply to your post shows.


One of the few things that Jimmy Poorhouse can't be accused of being is a gambler. One needs money to gamble and Jimmy Poorhouse doesn't even have enough money for a can of paint to stop the wood siding on his shack from rotting away. Have you seen the state of it?!

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]

Global warming will make the UK colder, not warmer. The melting ice sheets in Greenland will significantly weaken the Gulf Stream and so cut temperatures in the UK.

Got to love Jimmy Poorhouse being unable to remember the lies he's told! It's even better than him going from never having heard of tracker funds (and still not knowing what they are) to having most of his fantasy money in them as soon as it's pointed out what a moron he is for boasting about getting returns a third of what the market offers just by tracking the index!

Reminder for those who really do invest actual money (rather than the fantasy kind Jimmy Poorhouse has): this year the maximum for IKZE investments is PLN 9,388.80. Put that in and you get PLN 3,004.41 back from the taxman.

Also, thos year it's up to PLN 23,472 in your IZE. Nothing back from the taxman for that, but hold it until you're 60 and you can collect your winnings without the 19% Belka tax you pay on other capital gains. I reckon it's worth chucking the maximum in.

Harley Davidson shareholders everywhere are thanking their lucky stars after getting the reverse kiss of death from Jimmy Poorhouse: after winning the coveted "pass" rating from The Mystic One, yesterday the share price rocketed by 6.4% in a single day! He truly is a money making machine, as well as the kind of moron who can't tell the difference between a general stock index tracker and a "tech fund"! LOL!

The curse of Jimmy Poorhouse giveth, and the curse of Jimmy Poorhouse taketh away. After the serial rapist rated Diageo as a pass and it promptly shot up, today after he denied saying not to buy it, the share price went down by 1.4%. Need to keep a careful eye on The Mystic One's recommendations if you're going to take advantage of the free money machine!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

Poor Jimmy Poorhouse, still insisting that he's right and the people who run that S&P 500 index tracker fund are wrong, because he thinks they run a "tech fund". What a f*cking retard!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

LOL! Poorhouse Jimmy really is regretting his foolish claim to have a six-figure sum invested in funds he doesn't know the first thing about! Now he's resorting to simply lying about what he said. Just look at this post polishforums.com/off-topic/stock-market-talk-85560/32/#msg1991620 Poorhouse Jimmy clearly says:

But now he's learned that both are actually index tracker funds which invest in "Domestic Stock - General" and he's got nothing left but to lie about his foolish statement. What a f*cking retard! Hoot!

Well, I say "learned", but the reality is that Poorhouse Jimmy has been schooled. Was a trap deliberately set for him to fall into? Yep. But only Poorhouse Jimmy could make the results of that trap into abject humiliation for himself by continuing to double down when he gets exposed as a pathetic liar. And I mean pathetic liar both in the sense that he's pathetic and a liar and the sense that he's pathetically bad at lying. Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Of course, Poorhouse Jimmy is so financially illiterate that he's never heard of dual-listing. The reality is that Diageo has its primary listing on the LSE (for those as financially illiterate as Poorhouse Jimmy, that's the London Stock Exchange). In fact that's the only market Diageo ordinary shares are listed on, under DGE.

And, of course, after getting the much coveted "pass" rating from Poorhouse Jimmy, Diageo ordinary shares are up, by 4.3%. i.e. more than quadruple what the FTSE 100 has done over that time.

But one has to remember that Poorhouse Jimmy sees the words


and then claims

What a f*cking retard!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


After Jimmy Poorhouse rated it as "pass", Diageo ended the day up 3.6%!


Another lucky winner of the coveted reverse kiss of death from Jimmy Poorhouse, Harley Davidson ended the day up 1.1%.

How to explain such financial illiteracy? Well, it could be due to actual illiteracy. For example, VOO very specifically invests in "Domestic Stock - General" but Jimmy Poorhouse reads those words as saying "tech fund". LOL! What a f*cking retard! No wonder the roof of his shack still leaks!

Poorhouse Jimmy said to pass on Diageo, so of course it's up 3% today!


It was 34.30 when The Mystic One said to pass on it, so of course it's 35.30 now.

And the most amusing part, he thinks he can get away with claiming he never said to pass on those stocks! What a f*cking retard!

I wonder how those "tech funds" he has "most of" his money in are doing. Last time I checked they were stick domestic stock index trackers! LOL! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Poorhouse Jimmy's hot streak not only continues but even gets better: of the three stocks he said he likes, only two of which went down yesterday, all three are down today. And the two he said to pass on? They're both up again today. So, those of you closely following The Mystic One's tips and acting accordingly (i.e. buy what he says not to and short what he says to buy) are five from five today.


Of course DEO is up 3.3% since Poorhouse Jimmy tipped them as stock to pass on.

No wonder this f*cking moron thinks that S&P 500 tracker funds are "tech funds"! LOL! Hoot!

UK, Ireland / UK passport renewal impossible due to out of date Polish passport [5]


Write to HMPO to explain that you are not able to provide them with an updated Polish passport and tell them why. Or even just call them. That's what I did when they told me they'd need to see a passport that expired decades ago. They have rules but are quite good at giving exemptions when those are justified.

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [227]


Nope, it's a well-established fact that Serbs committed genocide in Bosnia and that it was approved at the very highest levels of the Serbian government. You can lie about it as much as you want, that won't change the facts, or the knowledge of the world.


LOL! You 'army' is only good at murdering civilians. When faced with a properly equipped trained army in Kosovo, your heroic soldiers nearly set a land-speed record when they ran away.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


To be fair, the vast majority of the population of London are immigrants. Very few people there are from the Celtic tribes that lived in the area when the city was founded. And of course London was founded by immigrants, Romans.

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [227]


What goes around comes around. Serbs commit genocide in Bosnia and eventually Serbian cities get bombed and the Serbian 'army' gets exposed as the bunch of cowards it was.

Poorhouse Jimmy is possibly at his funniest when he f*cks up, he knows he's f*cked up but he's too f*cking moronic to admit he's f*cked up and instead tries to lie his way out. But instead he he f*cks up again and digs himself even further into his hole.

For example, he tries to boast that a stock he 'tipped' had gone up but then it's pointed out that the market in general had gone up by more than 350% of his huge win of 0.9% growth in a week, so he'd have a gain three times bigger if he'd just tracked the market indices. So then we suddenly get

But the problem is that Jimmy hasn't bothered to even vaguely Google what he claims "most of" his money is invested in. So we get this classic from the Poorhouse:
LOL!!! VOO is actually called "Vanguard S&P 500 ETF" (see investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/voo ). But Poorhouse Jimmy hasn't even bothered to read the name of what he claims to have $50,000 invested in! What a f*cking retard.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


That is an interesting stock. On the one hand, now the top management are picked based on ability rather than political loyalty, the firm should do better. On the other hand, who knows what further terrible deals signed by the previous management are yet to surface? My guess is that people smarter than me and better educated than me and far far better informed than me have already priced the vast majority of that into the stock value. So for me the better option is to just track the market.

Of course it would also help if to not be so financially illiterate as to claim that an S&P 500 tracker fund is a "tech" fund and that a CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index tracker fund is a "tech" fund. But fortunately for me, I haven't made those hilarious claims: it's Poorhouse Jimmy who claims an S&P 500 tracker fund is a "tech" fund. And it's Poorhouse Jimmy who doesn't even know what CHF stands for.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]



How does Mystic Poorhouse Jimmy do it? Two stocks he says he'll pass on: they both immediately go up. Stunning work.

And the three he.says he likes? Two of them promptly go down. Awesome talent!

Law / Custody Issue and Travel Abroad of my Girlfriend from Poland [31]


Good that Tom Toolan's story is being told again. It's a complete p!ss-take that Polish authorities claim they can't find his daughter, absolutely no secret where she is, as can be seen here: wolborz.eu/pl/nasze-miasto-t2/aktualnosci-a11/46-edycja-ogolnopolskiego-turnieju-wiedzy-pozarniczej-r2754

Poorhouse Jimmy certainly would donate $5 but he doesn't even have five cents to spare.

Maybe he can make a fantasy donation using some of the fantasy profits he's made from general domestic stock tracker funds which he's so retarded that he thinks are tech funds.


His wreck of a white pick-up can still be seen of Google Maps. And as recently as 2021 he was driving a 1998 Ford Taurus. You can see it in the photo he wanted scrubbed from the internet.

And Poorhouse Jimmy is too thick to even do the very basic research about things he claims to have six-figure sums invested in. For example, he claims to have hundreds of thousands invested in VOO and VUG and says that they are tech EFTs. The reality is that they are general domestic stock tracker funds, one tracks the S&P 500 Index and the other tracks the CRSP US Large Cap Growth Index. But Poorhouse Jimmy is financially illiterate that he thinks they're tech funds. What a f*cking moron!


Especially as Poorhouse Jimmyfunding PF for a year results in me posting un-redacted copies of my passport, ID card, teaching certification and 1990s Polish work permits, all of which he'd love to see.


And Google Maps shows Poorhouse Jimmy has still got that old bath-tub in his yard! Maybe he's going to duct-tape a broom-handle in there so he can pretend to finally have a yacht?

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


How does Mystic Jimmy do it?! VUG today is 358. It was doing well, then Poor Jimmy boasted about having a fantasy fortune in it and down it went! Losing Poor Jimmy a fantasy $1,900


And of course today VOO is 500. Everything was going well but then Poor Jimmy gave it the kiss of death.And a fantasy loss for The Mystic One of $1,300.

I don't know how he does it, but he's a regular Reverse Buffett!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


That would be sound advice, but Poor Jimmy can't follow it: he has no money to buy shares with. For years he's been forced to watch the Werden family shack fall apart due to lack of funds to even stop the roof from leaking. And now he's faced with the loss of his one true love: PolishForums. He's borrowed every cent he can, and the added both of them to his life's savings, then stolen the 19 quarters that Marge won on the slots and sent the whole lot to PF, but people just laughed at him for being so poor. Poor Jimmy, it might be sad if he wasn't such a vile c*nt, but he is, so it's f*cking hilarious! Hoot!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


There really is no point asking Poor Jimmy about foreign currencies, he's so innumerate that he can't even convert between two currencies when you tell him what the exchange rate is! What a f*cking moron!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


You mean Franc who used to be the executive chef at the Sheraton in Warsaw? I've not seen him for years!
Or do you mean the currency that Mystic Jimmy is too financially illiterate to know the currency code for? That said, Poor Jimmy is too ignorant to even know where to buy Swiss Francs!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Mystic Jimmy is such a moron that he still hasn't worked out what a tracker fund is, despite claiming to have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in them. Just look at him claiming that all tracker funds are ETFs! What a f*cking moron!

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


And now the challenge is on for Mystic Jimmy: donate $2,400 to PF and see all my personal information or forever be exposed as a liar who can't even afford a bag of nails and a roll of tarpaper with which to stop his shack's roof from leaking.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Jim the self-confessed rapist and nun-puncher is so financially illiterate that he thinks getting returns below the market average is something to boast about! Remember when he was trying to crow about getting 1% growth over five days when the market indices had gone up by 3.5%? LOL! And then he tried to claim that he actually has most of his money in tracker funds! What a f*cking retard!
