SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

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 😂

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

anyone gonna buy any calls before market close?
