Even though I’m not supposed to time the market, I can’t help but want to buy when I perceive the market is down but I think I just realized that it doesn’t make a big different even when the market goes back up the following day.
For example yesterday I bought 15k of an SP500 index fund (FXAIX) because the SP500 was down about -56% and today that the market is up +68%, it seems like I only made about 75 extra dollars, which does seem like that much. Is this realization correct?

Bought my first club set online (used to rent) and I was bending a lot more than usual. Stopped by PGA store and found out I need 1” long clubs, so I returned my set and am on the lookout for new clubs. Any advice for 1” long beginner sets? Don’t seem to see that many online and there wasn’t much choice at the store…

You get to be a member at 1 country club in the world. For sake of the question, you have easy access to whatever it is and can play the course/use the amenities often.

Which would you choose?

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

A first year asked me today how to maintain wlb to make the job work long term. Oh you sweet summer child.
