Redeeming CSR Ultimate Rewards points for cash back worth it? It’s 1.5x until April, but I’ve heard you can get better deals on point transfers depending on flights/hotels, and I plan on traveling when the world opens back up

Always always always transfer CSR points to airlines or hotel partners. You get a ‘2x value’ even though the points transfer 1 to 1. But 60k points is 60k United miles and that can be a round trip to Asia. Dollar cost of that would be around 1200. Also domestic flights are useless via miles. Always use for international imo

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
