M1, I respectfully disagree. Someone with a great deal of available credit, even if the lines are unused, will get penalized on their credit score.

Agreed SC1. I would gladly take another 2000% on my APR for an extra 1x on my purchases.

How? Have you applied to less than 5 cc in last 24 months?

How is your credit so low (in relative terms to your income). 800+ is so easy if you actually pay your bills

Too much credit last year and all my accounts are relatively new.

@OP No such thing as too much credit. One facet of credit score is utilization of credit so the more available the better. Low account age is another facet that will bring it down. Banks issue cards to just about everyone (within reason) and differentiate based on APR because their marketing models show that people with lower scores tend to carry balances. Of course if you are diligent in paying balances off every month then APR doesn't matter, but eventually everyone carries a balance...

Income and assets are unrelated to credit score, SC1. Yikes and a half. It's all about time and quality of accounts.

"Too many revolving accounts"

PwC 1 et al. You are correct. It is a lower factor than utilization, but is a factor. The reason it looks bad is not necessarily from credit worthiness, but from potential account churn -- rolling balances from account to account for the 0% interest of the month...

Anyone who cares about APR probably shouldnt have a credit card. If you cant afford to pay off your CC every month, probably shouldnt have bought half that stuff. Just my 2 cents, no APR.

I was actually being 100% sincere haha.

I read APR as a statement of how much I'm values by the CC bank. It's kind of dumb, but my credit union's CC has a 7% interest rate, and I got that one as an undergrad.
You only need to compare that number to all the others to see what the large banks are out for (and fine for them, just sucks for people who carry balances, since they pay for my points and the bank's profit machine).

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.

Estimated tax payment question:
I converted $30k of rollover 401k into a Roth IRA and have $26k of realized ST Capital Gains this year (Roth conversion in end of Q1 and most capital gains in Q2).
My total federal withholding tax last year was approximately $12k and this year I will have 40% more in reported income on my employer W2 and anticipate higher that $12k federal withholding for my new job. Given this, what is the best way to go about making est. tax payments for the income (continued.)

Hi Fishes,

I have previously worked for Reliance Jio, couldn't withdraw my PF money. How can I get that now ?

Is it worth it maxing out my 401k (no employer match, just profit percentage after a certain period) and Roth if I want to retire by the time I'm 40? What other tips would you be giving someone who wants to retire that early? I'm in my mid 20s and just started investing and spend less than 50% of my big law salary.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
