Is it better to put a “tl;dr” before or after the main bit? I know it makes more sense to have it before but I can also see it being slightly funny at the end of an email. Help

What does that mean??

I use BLUF, more professional.

tl dr is appropriate for online comment sections, not email. With email it is already expected for you to be economical with your words.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?

Dry powder coming in Monday morning and steel companies have been on my watchlist all week. Already in CLF, but it’s hitting the top of its channel so pullback might be coming - will load up if it does. Going to find an entry price into $MT 30c 2022 and avg down if stock dips.

$WOOF will be (or already has) catching momentum soon. 25/30c for July/Sept could still profit off the rising IV and underlying might spike soon. Probably just gonna watch it for fun on the sidelines 😂
