Anyone have any really great airline credit cards they recommend? I dont really have any flying credit cards. Open to using a referral if the fit is right

I'm already capped with amex with 5 hilton cards.
I typically fly whatever terminal from NYC has a centurion (AA in LGA or JFK with Delta)

AA 65K Miles
Delta 18k Miles
Amex Points: 500k

If you are capped with Amex, then eliminate Delta.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with an airline card and would go with a generic travel rewards card like Chase Sapphire or Capital One Venture, especially since you have airline choices in NYC.

Depends on a lot of factors. AA doesn’t have a transfer partner and CC spend counts directly towards status, so their cards can be attractive overall.

I think the delta Amex plat/silver card ($295 annual fee) pays for itself with the benefits.

With airlines, though, at this point, either pick one you hate the least and concentrate travel with them / their partners or go free agent.

Otherwise, I think JetBlue has no fee and low fee card options and their flights are pretty reasonable to redeem on points.

The Citi AAdvantage cards are pretty decent. 3 different levels depending on what annual fee/benefits you want.

And as I mentioned above, spend on those count as loyalty points towards status.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
