Enter puts on all the potential tiktok acquirers for sept 18. Only one of the players will win the deal, while the other three will likely drop 5-10% in stock price. One option may expire worthless, but you win on the other three. Thoughts?

DDD is up 80% today....just sold half of my shares to lock in some profit. I’m new to this selling game (have always been a long holder). Is it a good strategy to wait for it to dip back and buy more? Or am I not doing the Math right here...

Anyone own a franchise? What’s your experience, how did you get started and how much did you invest and any lessons learned?

I'm new to cryptocurrencies and looking to get involved. Every article I read mentions to "do your own research" which I obviously agree with, but how do you all do your research? I'm not very techy

Hello Friends,

I have Hungary Work Visa through TCS. And wanted to make a decision whether travel Budapest or not?

If you are living in Budapest can you please answer to below queries?

What are the Monthly average expenses in Budapest? Including house rent, Crossories and Travelling?
How much is an I.T.A can save per month? I know it depends on personal expenses. But looking rough figure?

My goal since early 2020 was to hit $100k NW by Dec 2021. It’s going to be March 2022 and I’m at $86k 😔 It’s mostly due to healthcare-related bills I didn’t anticipate.
Trying to decide if I should still go through with a 1 week trip to Spain in May that I’ve been wanting to do for years :/

Thoughts on secondary market shares for Palantir? I know this is a forum mainly dedicated to public companies but I have an opportunity to buy at a discount from the $20B valuation

Good resources to learn about which investment account types I should be using?

If I make 80k a year in Chicago how much should I be spending on rent?

How to choose which financial advisor to work with.
I have no financial experience and an advisor reached out from equitable.

What's a good percentage (they're offering 2% as a fee)

I am almost 23 and don’t know much about the investment and savings vehicles/strategies that I should be using. IRAs, Roth IRA’s, long-term investments, how much I should be contributing/saving for financial success, etc. Any suggestions? I currently have $4,000 in savings, and a few thousand sitting in checking that I use regularly but try to not spend too much. Rent is $1600. Likely looking to go to grad school in the next 2-3 years.

Salary: $86,000/yr (~5000 a month take home)
City: NYC

Not really a question, but maybe I’ll hit FIRE early since of the roughly ~20 or so stocks i keep in my portfolio, 3 of them were a substantial GME position I entered in September (and exited in the midst of the craze thankfully), RKT (expecting mortgage lenders to do well in the buying craze) and L Brands 😳. Never thought I’d hit 3x

Which brokerage or investment firm do you use and why? I’m bummed we can’t use robo, which is usually free

Does anyone have a recommendation for a tax professional in the LA area? I have a mix of assets: real estate, stocks, start-up equity, etc., and want to find someone to help manage my taxes moving forward.

Hi! Looking to open a online bank savings account. Right now I am leaning toward Capitol One. Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

My SO is scared to ask his parents for his money back. The money they were holding on to for him. Now that he’s a grown man I think he’s old enough to hold on to his own money. He like needs a valid excuse to ask for it back and I’m like why do you need an excuse when it’s your money and he’s like well I don’t want to start a fight…. And the last time he spoke to his parents about it apparently there’s been some mix ups and so they need to sort thru what’s his etc. (CONT’d in comments)

Is 140/year base enough to buy 550k home? Have 20% to put down, 30k emergency fund, 130k in retirement. No debt. 29 yrs old.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

If I've maxed out my TFSA, should I continue investing through an RRSP or a personal investment account?

For context, I also have a good pension. My main concern is that while the RRSP will be nice to lower my taxable income now, I'm worried when I retire I'll have to withdraw too much from both the RRSP and pension. Thoughts?

Tsla, hold buy or sell?
Such a red day, I am all over negative!!!!!

This past year I’ve been feeling especially burnt out. Briefs are taking longer to click and it’s a struggle to come up with creative ideas. Even when I come back from a few days off, I find myself unable to focus on even the smallest project. I’ve thought about switching agencies or go in-house in hopes that new clients will get me excited and eager to work, but worried I’ll find myself in the same boat. The need to pay bills seems to be the only thing keeping me going. Any advice??? Plzzz

What types of non-profit organizations do you think could use SCM skills? All I can really think of is food banks.

There is no trick to sell, either you can sell or not. The only trick is use your ears and identify key pieces and use them wisely in the conversation. Selling is a conversation properly led to a Goal.

Do I finally decide to buy tsla shares or calls now 🤣

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.
