I like STA’s technical analysis and thought I’d share some of my own. Some of the same names and a few names off the beaten path.

A general note, lots of of the stocks and indexes on the most traded options list seem to be struggling with breaking through levels of resistance. QQQ is notable. So are XLE, XLF, and XLK. I don’t think this is a sign of a market top, but shows that the leadership continues to move around a bit.

Fun times.

Anyone made the transition from NYC to Austin?

I find myself asking why I am in NYC when everything is so damn expensive. Making good money, but limited on savings and quality of life due to the HCOL. Or recs for other cities for that matter.

Would it be financially irresponsible to buy a new Model 3 with $150K base income and $320K NW?

Real estate advice please! I bought a $400K house in a HCOL area (DMV) in April 2021 at 3.125% interest rate. Unexpectedly, I need to move to a LCOL area (small city in Pennsylvania) this summer 2023. I don’t have enough for a 20% down payment on next home… do I:
-Sell HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate
-Rent HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate and PMI (since <20% down payment)
-Rent HCOL home and rent in LCOL for a year or more before reassigning/buying

Do you require employees to upload a photo into your HRIS? It's not a hard rule for us but it does help when we need to verify identity, especially since we are still remote.

I’ve been in HR now for about six years and have never had a mentor. I’ve been relying mostly on SHRM and other people in the company for feedback. Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
