Newbie buying AAPL for the first time - any reason I should select anything other than Market Order?

If you’re putting order in when market closed, never do a market order because there are too many price swings on off hours and when market first opens. I always do limit orders... or wait and look at what it’s doing during the day and do a market order if it seems to be behaving reasonably smoothly.

As a newbie, trade while market is open + go with market orders until you understand limit / stop loss / other order types a little better - they’re the 20% extra but you need to get the first 80% in order

If you simply want to buy a stock, the market order will do that. If entry point is important, then a limit order. The question, of course, is how to determine the entry point? Indicators like RSI and MACD may be useful for a particular stock but context - market direction or sector sentiment may be quite influential and move the price of a particular stock.

I quit drinking at the first of the year because I was drinking too much as a way to cope with Covid. 99.9% of the time, I’m glad I quit drinking. And then there are those nights when I just want a glass of something to take the edge off, which makes me think alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than I thought and it’s probably a good thing I’m not drinking. I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.

Hi all,
I am holding offer from Infosys- 16 LPA, Mindtree- 11LPA, TCS- 9 LPA and VGL- 15 LPA as I will join the company in two weeks. I am not sure, which one I should join and should I ask with other companies for revised offer letter (if yes, please suggest me the process) or I should join Infosys or VGL?

I just started my first day at a startup (on the executive team) but a new friend of mine wants to utilize me as a part-time portfolio manager/financial advisor given my entrepreneurial, VC, & operational background. His holdings are $10m+ and mostly in real estate but he wants to get more involved in tech investing. I have a background in both and it won’t violate my obligations. What terms should I offer him? I was thinking: 1% AUM and 10% profits. Please offer any advice.
