Taking a gamble here. 25 OXY $16Cs for 4/9 and 25 OXY $17Cs for 4/9. $0.20 and $0.08 respectively. Very high risk but have gains on other OXY trade that I don’t mind risking on this.

What does anyone know of real estate in Web3? I keep hearing about it but it feels so foreign that I wouldn't know where to begin.

Side gigs. What do you do to supplement your income (besides marry for money)? I bartender but that’s taken a hit with Covid. Thinking about some kind of tutoring set up.

My background check for Blackrock came back last week. It’s now with the background check committee. How long until I get the final OK? No, I am not a criminal. :-)

Anyone know good property managers in the Denver area?

I'm a long time user of mvelopes budgeting software, and we just got a notice that they're shutting the platform down at the end of the year.

401(k) gurus - If I switched jobs in 2020, does the $19.5k pretax 401(k) contribution limit apply to each plan or is it across plans? Also, does it matter if my spouse (joint filing) is self employed and bootstrapping and is not enrolled in a 401(k) plan?

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

Can someone tell me where should I put my money, Roth or traditional? Should I also contribute to hsa? How do I max out all contributions and benefits?

For any real estate investors

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt. I am set to pay off my college loans by next year and, when I do, I want to look into investing into real estate. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

Four words - Invest. In. Amazon. Stock.

110% Return on investment ( 1 year) and still projected to keep growing...

Laughable that banks and traditional 401k give you less than 5

28 year old with ~125k in cash/brokerage. Have been wanting to begin purchasing rentals but anxious to use a good bit of my liquid savings. Thoughts on biting the bullet vs. investing in stocks. In Houston if that is a factor

Do schools keep track of how many times you reschedule an interview?

Anyone gave interview in PWC UK for Audit Senior Associate?? Can you suggest set of questions asked in the interview and how was you experience?

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

Does anybody have a referral link for Amex Platinum? - has to be UK based

Why are some people willing to do anything / obsessed about getting the green card in the U.S.?

When I asked them, they usually say they like American lifestyle. I love lifestyle in France, but I was in France, I was OK if I can't stay. Just trying to understand here so that I can have more empathy.

Thoughts on possible LA?

Is it safe to join CISCO? I have heard the layoffs happens there yearly.

OR circulating nurse here. Will preface this by saying I have the utmost respect for CSFAs in the OR setting. However, wondering if any other OR RN’s have had issues with CSFAs feeling and acting like they are in charge of the room or attempt to carry out tasks that you as an RN are supposed to do? I do love having help, but we have one FA who hijacks my tasks and gets upset when i do not do things the way they would and attempts to instruct me on how to do my job

A year ago, I got promoted to Art Director, and since our team is pretty small, I’m still very hands-on in terms of designing. I’m currently responsible for creating online advertising, branding and everything that goes into our social media channels (design, not content). I want to ask others Art Directors here, what responsibilities you have. What your day-to-day looks like? I’m still doing everything that I used to do when I was a Lead Designer. Am I missing something?

Got a mail from pwc asking to specify if I have personal laptop as official laptop delivery will be delayed.

Is blockfi only a bank and not really investing in crypto?

Weekend thought as many of us watch our portfolios bleed away value as the market hit all time highs: stick with it. This is a very difficult time in the market so try to figure out what’s not working and fix it. Stick with your process while trying to improve it. That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.

crwd 4/17 $60 calls... you heard it here first

Thoughts on Spotify after the dip?

Anyone: Thoughts on Cisco Puts?

It’s been an interesting 24 hours. So, you know I got out of the VIX Puts at 26 with a small loss. I bought a few DIA July 15 calls at the low at a 309 strike .13 so I did better than I would. Trading the technicals now with DIA and C Puts.

Earlier Gamestop was supposed to file for bankruptcy, now they could make many more file for bankruptcy.
Play safe!

I know there are multiple posts about this but I still can’t think of the right way to play United Wholesale Mortgages. Too nervous to sell covered calls with the ex div date and high OI for calls in March. Anyone considered averaging down?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

I’ve got cash that I want to conserve (for bschool) and my time horizon is 1 year. It is currently all sitting in a HYSA. Should I bother moving it to a higher return investment and if so what would that be? Thank you!

Cons of moving 75% of my savings to an Intermediate US Treasury ETF (SCHR)? I wouldn’t mind losing 4-5% if the market rallies, but would rather put cash to work if the market keeps tanking

Thoughts on airlines for the long run? American and United are bound to bounce back at some point. If I throw 10k in I assume these won’t go bankrupt

Here’s a point of reference on meme stocks for people who thinks it’s too late to get in or who think it’s close to peaking. Tesla: 948M outstanding shares; market cap: $837B. GameStop: 69.75M; market cap: $5.36B.

What funds do people have in their 401k plans? And how did y’all decide allocation? Can’t tell if I should be more aggressive given I’m in my 20s.
