Interest rate? Yes. Not with the feds, but with private lenders.

So you can’t negotiate with federal?

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding.

But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.

I had a baby almost a year ago.

Thanks so much!

Interesting investment opportunity with PSTH. Biggest SPAC with Tontine warrants. In short, for every 9 common shares you buy and hold through the merger, you get 2 shares priced at $23. The price right now is $26. I would get in and gradually increase by a multiple of 9 and hold until at least Dec 2021

Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
