Does anyone have any recommendations on advanced books or other resources to learn about investing ? I’m looking for something much more in depth than what I have already read which usually just explains how to eliminate debt and what dollar cost averaging is. (No debt and already dca)

For options, check out "Option Volatility & Pricing" by Sheldon Natenberg. Haven't read it yet, but highly recommended to me by former institutional derivatives trader.

Rule 1 investing! I haven't read the book but I am a podcast addict and it was on my podcast lineup. If the book is anything like the podcast it shows how to evaluate companies' financial statements, read the 10k and letter to shareholders, etc. Phil and Danielle are very anti index funds (which I dont know if I agree with) and very into investing in a few good companies for life.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

- I get free Healthcare at the VA
- No plans on kids
- My expenses haven't topped $30k/yr ever
- I could always reenter the workforce if needed (albeit probably not in consulting)

Please point out the flaws here, what am I missing?
