I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

Looking at this W4 to adjust my withholding DOWN since my wife and I always get more back on our tax return than we want and would rather have the money now.

Both my wife and I work for FAANG companies. As the stock has recently gone through the roof I was wondering if we should try to protect the gains (covered call/put options).

Trying to figure out how to merge reporting from #hubspot and #dialpad

Would like your advices. Awhile back I applied and was video interview for a position at a competitor. I suspect I wouldn’t get it based on the vibes they gave off. Now randomly I get an email from one of their recruiter asking if I was interested to apply for a similar position. Should I even bother? It might be with the same people.

Any recommend courses (coursera, edx, etc.) people would recommend for user with intermediate experience with excel?

Having a rough day - single, older & treated poorly by current mgr. I know this is just the way my brain chemistry works sometimes but need to hear about something good in the world (not about me).

Last December, my mom said I needed to check myself into a mental hospital. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt, she knew I was getting help and not at risk.

We've had little contact this year but I feel intense guilt about her not seeing her grandkid much. Im learning about our intergenerational trauma and how to set better boundaries. She continually violates them. She sends texts to say I'm "mean" and "ruining the holidays".

Does the guilt go away? Do you go no contact, kid included?

11/19 Thread (General):

i think i’m done with options for a while. a long while. while i was doing well recently intraday, my longer term short positions were getting blown out of the water. it’s exhausting watching them go to shit, and it’s also exhausting trading intraday. the whole thing is just exhausting. it’s hard to focus on anything else when you’re down.

How much should one pay attention to after hours trading? Not sure whether to sell these at open or keep holding:
NET C $35 5/15
UBER C $29 5/22
DBX C $20.5 5/22 (probably the one I’m most disappointed in) any advice would be appreciated!
