As much as you can

Without a doubt. Max it out.

Your company’s plan should be online included in a filing with the SEC. Most companies will not allow you to increase your contribution percentage within an offering period after the registration period is closed. So you’ll have to wait until the next offering period. Again, plan specific so you’ll have to see what the plan allows for.

Thank you!

Max your 401k matching first, max your ESPP second, max the rest of your 401k if you’re able third, in that order. Roth401k preferred if available.

Max 15%. I see huge potential. I started when it was 80$ in 2018
Great returns so far 👌 👏

Thanks everyone! Does anyone know what the rules are about when i can change the %? Fidelity not letting me do it rn…im obviously clueless 😔

Did you try to call them?

Max the ESPP regardless of what you have in your 401k. For those unaware, MSFT matches 50% of your contributions up to the 19.5k limit. This is a guaranteed 10% return on what you put in so max this out.
The window is closed for this quarter ending 12/31. But you can enroll for the following quarter. If you're new it may take a couple weeks to allow you to enroll.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
