Stocks only go up.
Apple calls, Microsoft calls and alibaba calls are peaking my interest now....

Anyone have a contrarian opinion on a trend / investment theme going on in the private investing world, particularly tech investing? Feels like everything is painted in the “huge growing market with tons of white space” lens.

I have about $45k in a CD that just matured. I’m thinking about placing it probably in index or mutual funds but have only basic finance knowledge and am not sure about which or how to split. Advice??

How are the areas around white rock lake to buy an investment property? Any suggestions appreciated!

Anyone know what “premium cash pay” means on a check? I randomly just got 717$ on my check unexpectedly for that allocation.

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.

From stocks to crypto to NFT, which is the next big investment opportunity where we could be the early movers (investors) and make great returns? Love to hear them.

Any recommendations on credit cards with lounge access? Currently have the Chase Sapphire Reserve which has Priority Pass, but have been turned away from lounges not accepting PP at peak times

How do you renegotiate your commission rate on TD Ameritrade and it’s platform ThinkOrSwim? Is this requested online or do you have to call in? Does it have a decent success rate? Im at the original .65.

im 27 and could possibly retire if I kept my spending low. However you never know what’s going to happen, do you? How do you deal with the uncertainty?

Has anyone set up an NY 529 for their kids? Know there’s a 10k tax exemption for NY state taxes, but does anyone know if that per child, or across all children?

Opinion on the Milton (Cambridge high) vs Suwannee (Peachtree ridge high) to buy a house? Have a 3 yr old.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Does Uber cash count towards minimum spend for credit card bonus. Thanks!

I’m looking for recommendations for a bench top bandsaw. I’m willing to invest in a nicer one down the line, but right now I want to keep it under $300. I mostly see Powertec, Shop Fox, or Wen. There is a $375 Grizzly I’d consider if it’s way better than the others. Any thoughts?

Question for Sales leaders who’ve said “I did an analysis and concluded we just need more at bats”.

Does it feel like you’re saying something useful? Or are you also writing a book titled “In order to get rich you just need more money”?

What’s a good target annual earning % for interest and dividends relative to portfolio size? I am new to investing and am generally just invested in the SP500 and total stock market via index funds

Ok, I haven’t done an HSA previously, but considering it for my family during this next open enrollment. What do I need to know about high deductible plans? How do y’all feel about the HSA - any downsides? I’m honestly a little worried about the higher OOP costs, but we’re also not significant users/consumers of healthcare, knock on wood. Anyone regret it and go back to a normal PPO/POS insurance?

I am working on a project to built OKR and KPI software for performance prediction. The tool that helps companies track KPIs and predicts business performance using these KPIs. This does two things for the business 1) creates visibility around performance individuals, departments and business as a whole and 2) enables businesses to predict outcomes for the next month, quarter etc.

I am interested in is knowing, a) if companies track KPIs and how do they do it b) (to be continued in comment)

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Do you pay out of pocket on insurance premiums at your firm? My wife may leave her job to stay home and we’re on her insurance. My firm told me we’re $750/pay period or $18k/yr. that sounds absurd.

Came here to say that I wish I could fully express to my non-parent colleagues how much their support has meant to me. I can cover for them when they have stuff so they can unplug, but I feel like they will never truly understand the gratitude when they offer to do a task for me when my kid is sick, etc. Any ideas on how to pay it forward?

Just watched Karan Arjun. SRK is the GOAT.

Any graduates here of Trump University? Thinking of a career transition...

Not accounting related but looking for help… moving from UWS in NYC to Boston in August and renting a Uhaul. I know I can’t drive a Uhaul on any NY Parkways so hoping for some help planning the route out of the city and into MA. Any help appreciated!!

Software Sales: How long did it take back then to close your first deal?

When it is not an urgent or time bound task, I tend to not finish tasks but my mind wanders to some other tasks. How do you stay on task ? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

Anyone at LEK? What’s it like? (Quality of management, WLB, compensation, etc?) thanks!

How are we feeling right now? 😫

Kicking myself today for not pulling the trigger on the 10 (5/15) ZM put contracts I had typed in on Friday...have spent most of the day frustrated about it, wondering what would have been.

Anyone going in on VNET?

What’s does “fill the gap” mean??

Sundial Growers 🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️

Why you should stay invested : asset inflation, then normal inflation, low rates forever, trillions in additional stimulus, dollar destruction (on purpose), coronavirus pushed tech ahead a year or two in adoption. STONKS ONLY GO UP!

There has to be a play today puts on SPY?

I have just got an options trader job at a prop trading firm. But I knew nothing about options/trading/finance. The firms said they’ll be officially training us once we start. But in the meantime, what are some books/resources that you would recommend to start learning first?

@Manager1 what’s the JWN play today?

New to option trading, trying to create a protective put (cont)

My play for next week:
Sell the SPY 200 puts since the market would plummet. Look for opportunities to buy back, probably when the stim bill passes. Would love to hear your thoughts on it

SNAP - 5/22 $18p, b/e $16.86

Dipped my toes in some dumbass hype stock - 60 shares of FMCI, planning to sell within 2 weeks

Love that in true form I chose the 1 red meme stock. 😂💎💎💎

We've got to hold on, to what we've got!
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not!

Everyone’s so focused on Airbnb and Doordash lol. Nobody’s talking about C3.ai though 👀

Thoughts on SNAP puts ? I feel like Snapchat is the least utilized social media platform behind IG, tik Tok and Facebook. Yet it’s basically at a 52 week high
