This is a noob question. What do I do with this meme stock I purchased? I only invested a grand. Do I sell when it’s high and get out of it? Or hold on to it? I know nothing about trading.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL.

Folks that got a prenup. How and where did you get it? We have spoken to a couple of lawyers and it simply seems to be a back and forth they want to do to rack up billable hours/complicate the issue. My SO and I pretty much know what we want. We are doing it mainly to protect my SOs inheritance. Looking for the simplest way to execute this. TIA for any advice.

If Trump is proven guilty of tax scam, pornstar scam, charity scam etc.etc. will MAGA accept that this guy has been conning them ? Or they would blame the justice system of USA? Just curious..

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Anyone that is WFH but rents a small office space to work from?

I don't want to have to go to an office with coworkers, but I do feel like I'd be more productive getting out of home office a couple of days per week.

Feel the same?

Hi Fishes,

I am S4 ABAP developer having 9+ years of experience. I have HR round today. How much should I negotiate with HR. What's the standard package given by Wipro for 9+ years exp. Please guide.

My company’s SOP template has a table of contents and a section at the top where the SOP owner is supposed to add a short statement containing the “Why” of the SOP, meaning a statement about what the SOP is supposed to solve for/ accomplish. A co-worker recently told me that it should also contain a checklist of the 4-5 main points of what the team member should know how to do after reading the SOP…. This seems really redundant to me. Thoughts?

Anyone else here looking to make a switch into healthcare (physician, nurse, etc)?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Experts - I understand tha LEAPS help with liquidity amd magnify the returns but I am unclear what are the tax implications (Fed LTCG and state tax) when you are ITM and exercise LEAPS. Can someone shed some light on tax implications of the LEAPS? Thanks.

What happens if you sell a covered call far ITM for a large premium? Is the only loss your shares and opportunity cost once the option is exercised by the call holder?

I know there are multiple posts about this but I still can’t think of the right way to play United Wholesale Mortgages. Too nervous to sell covered calls with the ex div date and high OI for calls in March. Anyone considered averaging down?

Mod suggestion: how about a weekend thread of wins / losses for the week and lessons learned + ideas for the week ahead?

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.
