Meh. Dividends are nice (esp. for retirees), but they are taxed as ordinary income (even if you reinvest them.) I’d rather target longer term capital gains generation at this stage in my career.

That said it won’t be hard to generate short term losses this year to offset a bit of dividend income... 😂

Hello,
I have an accepted offer from
Amazon with start date early next month. With the hiring freeze in place I am worried that layoffs will be next and new hires are more at risk when it comes to layoffs. This is making me wonder if it is good time to switch. Would really appreciate some input in this matter.

Thoughts on Indexed Universal Life Insurance as an investment vehicle? I hear the pros and cons from the sellers of this, whom I understand gain heavy commissions.

Looking to diversify my portfolio.

I switched companies this past September and my new firm doesn’t match until after a year. They also match on a per period basis. With that being said, it makes sense for me to hold off on contributing to my 401k at all until October, and then contribute enough to max it with my Oct-Dec paychecks, correct? I’ll miss out on the gains for 9 months, but don’t want to miss out on the free money either.
