Ok, a lot of the advice appears to be more about control and manipulation than anything else. As a father of two kids this is a tough one to think about. I cannot imagine going through it so my heart goes out to you.
Just convey how you feel, who you are and your love and trust that she will be awesome. She wont be able to know you in person and form a relationship with you so leave behind who YOU are so she can have that experience in some way.
Don't leave behind a series of lectures...
Just let go and trust that she will make the right decisions.
Don't try and direct/control her - it probably wont work when it counts anyway. Let her make her own way with the knowledge that her father cared about her.
I know this is the internet and all but just stop being a dick.
I am highly literate and every once in a while I come across a word I recognize but want to find the EXACT meaning of. Rather that than what YOU apparently do which is just keep going and remain ignorant...exactly like your post.
They also have other language dictionaries which have occasionally come in handy when a book is set in another country etc. Then there are the old world words that are not in common usage. And that is without Wikipedia use.
There are many, many reasons that have nothing to do with being stupid and everything to becoming more informed and knowledgeable.
Being able to put other people down on an internet forum does not make you clever...
However raging against people wanting to be more informed and arguing for continued ignorance (and even being too stupid to realise that is what you are doing) makes you stupid.
But then stupid people are often too stupid to realize how stupid they are I guess.
What is amusing about this is that US laws are so complicated and unclear with all sorts of corrupt provisos that not even lawyers can probably answer that question.
Who knows what weird law they will hit them with? The government can more or less do whatever they want including things extra-judicial.
But I am glad you have us covered with your decade of research...
Almost NO ONE can pick winners with anything approaching 100% accuracy - that includes the "experts".
BallsSacks and co make their money by gaming the system with their size, profiting on other people's risk and ability to write the legislation governing them etc. Not predicting winners.
I cannot believe the ignorance of some of the commenting on here. This is finance 101.
Please for the love of god stop embarrassing yourselves!?
Although they do make good TVs. Their blueray boxes are a joke. (was bought as a present for me by my brother without my knowledge...so no one call me a hypocrite)
I just installed OpenElec on my pi and it is AMAZING.
The thing with investment is not what you should NOT do with your money, there are always a million of those, it is what you SHOULD be doing.
And any advice must always be compared to WHAT ELSE you could be doing with said money.
So you are going to bury your money in gold because your paranoid? Congrats, you are now possibly losing the 5+% interest you could have been making in the meantime.
Do that for a year and you are a big loser also.
Bubbles can be a FANTASTIC time to make money. Both before and after they pop.
If the "fools" with money realized this then there would be no bubble. But it is easy to make a call when you do not stand to gain or lose from any of it since you are not in the market at all, isn't it?
If you invested in the "bubbling" Uber earlier and sold out now you would be anything other than poor or stupid. As long as you get out before the burst, you win.
Also remember the fools with money are often not the ones making the decisions and giving the advice. The finance industry is funded on churn and stock fluctuations. They win on the way up AND often on the way down (overall, I am not talking about individual traders or trades). It is highly possible that Goldman Ballsacks will be investing people's money heavily into these stocks while betting against the stocks with other money as the bubble goes - just like they did during the last one.
But the question is NEVER what HAS happened, it is always what is going to happen in the future and roughly when. Most people fail HARD at this and should really just STFU because they have no idea what they are talking about.
Just waving your hand about predicting doom "sometime" hardly counts as insight in this sort of market.
Sony have always wanted to be the giant behemoth that dictates the market and thus abuses it for their own profit at the expense of everyone else.
They have always done this and become exceptionally arrogant in the process..
The difference now is that they have become increasingly irrelevant while still vainly attempting those same business practices. It is a common progression for companies of this ilk. (e.g. Microsoft with the browser and search)
I think what should happen is that we should streamline OUR lives and be rid of Sony.
You are wrong Mr. Coward. And very obviously so. You also have not provided any evidence for your rather outlandish claims. And another disclaimer: I HATE the right/left spectrum demarcation and only use it out of necessity of communication. I believe it is totally outdated and a inaccurate in modern politics.
Firstly I form my own opinions by observing ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR, not just parrot whatever libertarian propaganda I have been reading last such as you have been doing.
World wide right wing and center right governments have been ADVANCING the same - hence why you have Obama agreeing with Cameron - a right wing Tory FFS. Here in my country the VERY right wing part in power is bending over forwards to allow the US to have new spying powers - even to the point of suffering greatly themselves politically. The same in Australia. This is repeated around the world.
To argue otherwise is just ignorant.
Worldwide it is the most LEFT parties that are the most vociferously opposed to the spying the RIGHT parties are introducing.
And just because you are so ignorant as to call the democrats "left wing" or to totally and completely ignorant of what your typical left wing party stands for does not make it any different.
And if you think the "libertarian" party (which are so obviously referring to) will be a breath of fresh air you are a bigger joke than I am implying above.
The Modern Libertarian == freedom for the wealthy and their total abnegation of any social responsibility towards everyone else(i.e the people they used to make said money).
And all the above is so obvious and transparent it should not even require explaining. But then this is main problem with world today - too much wilful ignorance.
Dude. EVERY one of the major political forces in the US is a right wing force by WORLD standards. (i.e. not your RIDICULOUS and extremely myopic US standards)
Half the problem is how your people view politics, economics, justice and democracy in general. Which is why the endless comments like yours always annoy me so damned much. The ignorance of fundamentals is staggering.
It is not either or time. It is wipe the slate clean and start again time!
Any other option just will not work at this point - the US citizenry have let it go on too long and become too entrenched.
Anything else is now losing the battle...as this most recent of many articles shows quite clearly!

You have failed to take my advice twice now.
I wash my hands of you.

f.lux
No, I am not swearing at you. The software is research based also, not just a gimmick.
Of course this does not mean it is 100% bulletproof
What is amusing about this is that US laws are so complicated and unclear with all sorts of corrupt provisos that not even lawyers can probably answer that question.
Who knows what weird law they will hit them with? The government can more or less do whatever they want including things extra-judicial.
But I am glad you have us covered with your decade of research...
BTW: This is the system working as "intended".
In other news the risk of becoming an informed citizen after reading slashdot comments is also close to zero.
The risk of the opposite gets closer to 100% every day...
lol.
And you sir are not even very good at trolling.
Go play mind games somewhere else, I am done with you.
Ok, fair enough. I am right with you on that one.
:)
If I hear one more idiot go on about gold as if they know what the hell they are talking about then I think I am going to be sick.
Besides. From the research I did into precious metals there were far bigger jumps in some of the others during the GFC.
Very funny.
I am being snarky because the quality of thought that has gone into many replies DESERVES such a response.
And I could not CARE LESS about your thoughts on my POSTING STYLE.
But you are correct, that was an awesome point.
(There you go, you can add ARROGANT to the list too, that should make it even easier to TROLL!!??!!?!)
That is why you diversify.

It was an example in a discussion encompassing all types of investors including the ones you mention.
You missed the point entirely as have many others.
The willful ignorance displayed in this thread so a trolling opportunity can be had is...well entirely typical of the internet...
Christ almighty I don't know why I bother sometimes...
Its called risk management and diversification. If you knew ANYTHING about actual investment you would realize how stupid your comment is.
I am not saying throw all your money into it for christ's sake.
It was an example, not a suggestion. Some people are doing this. Yes, they are wrong.
You have missed my point entirely....
Christ almighty having rational discussions on the interweb is frustrating at times.
My metaphor is one level of abstraction above the drivel you are peddling.
Think like an architect, not a script kiddy.
But nice attempt at trolling.
Same here.
Although they do make good TVs. Their blueray boxes are a joke. (was bought as a present for me by my brother without my knowledge...so no one call me a hypocrite)
I just installed OpenElec on my pi and it is AMAZING.
Sony....suck a dick.
Idiot.
I was referring to there being money making opportunities even in a bubble. It is not all black and white.
I am not saying what you think I am saying because you are assuming I am as stupid as you are.
I am not.
THank you for that example.
You have summed it up with that one example than I ever could.
The GP poster is speaking out of fear. Investment is about risk management.
Fear only gets in the way of that making you irrational.
So does greed, arrogance and being able to spend other people's money when taking the risk(e.g Ballsacks and Fund Managers).
Stick to numbers and quantifying risks and base your investments on that. It is actually very simple.
The only complication is when people try to game the system from greed and even the experts don't do this very well when evaluated holistically.
Depends on the bubble.
The thing with investment is not what you should NOT do with your money, there are always a million of those, it is what you SHOULD be doing.
And any advice must always be compared to WHAT ELSE you could be doing with said money.

How on EARTH is this insightful?
Maybe on mars?
Leaders are driven and inspiring.
While "aggressive" may be what a lot of current leaders are, but they are not great leaders because of it or at all. If they are it is in spite of it.
You are probably mistaking "aggressive" activity (which is not aggression at all) with "aggression" the negative emotion.
Or had a very fucked up childhood....

AHAHAHA. That was a good one. Christ this is the funniest post on this article.
Seriously. I just love your style of minimalist humour.
Wait...you were joking right.....?
I just absolutely LOVE this anti-green rant. It embodies everything that needs to be embodied about this type of person.
You play the greenies? Heh.
I believe the blame is people like you: "Who are the ones that we kept in charge, Killers, thieves and Lawyers" as professed by the great Tow Waits.
God's away, God's away, God's away on bidness....bidness...!
