Best leveraged funds or places to park $100-$200 a month? Long timeframe, willing to take huge risk but still don’t want to ape into clear bubbles with it. The problem is that all the stuff i have in mind is hugely overvalued now (tqqq, crypto, etc).

I have $35k in cash. I’m quitting to go to school for five years making an abysmal stipend. Should I put $15k in a brokerage account and buy ETFs? Keeping enough to buy a used car eventually.

Assuming that capital gains tax is at the all-time the lowest it will ever be again…Is anyone else considering selling this year to pay it now? (And then reinvest?)

For the noobs - remember if a stock goes up quick, it can go down quick. Good day to buy more!

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?

Guys out there - I keep seeing ads for what seem to be direct to consumer companies like TAYLRD. Their shirts and pants look good, and priced reasonably. Anybody try them and have an opinion?

Just watched the replay of the UFC fight on Friday night (Waterson vs. Hill) and the funniest thing of the last six months was listening to Bruce Buffer going full Bruce Buffer, screaming like it’s 20,000 people when there is only about 25. 😂 On a side note, holy shit these girls can fight!! I haven’t watched UFC in a few years and don’t remember everyone being so fast and strong and just brutal. I outweigh them by 150+ pounds and they would annihilate me in about 10 seconds. They are badass!

People are actually buying digital art as an investment? I don’t even understand. Can’t someone just copy and paste the picture?

After years of being overworked and having requests for help go unacknowledged- I put in notice after 20 years. In addition to this, this job checks every box as far as being a toxic workplace, I made the decision to save my mental health in lieu of a paycheck. It has not been formally announced that I’m leaving, but the word is out, and I am getting the “silent treatment”. I know this shouldn’t bother me but it does- is this just the way it’s going to be for the next 3 weeks?

Any one have idea how performance improvement incentives reward amount is calculated?

Help! I just don’t understand the logic. I was making 25% less than the average at my title in my market on the low-end of the pay scale.

I got a salary adjustment, but of course I’m still 10% underpaid. I asked if I am good for a merit as a high performer this summer — they said no, since I got a salary adjustment.

Is it just me or is that a load of crap? A salary adjustment = to make right on marketplace salary norms. A merit = good job, you’re kicking ass.

Can anyone make me feel better?

Anyone still bullish on the RE market after Powell’s press conference?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Is it worthwhile to put in new wood floors into a newly bought condo? Will it increase home value? The unit has really old floors, so updating would definitely be a plus, but my long term plan for the property is to rent it out, so not sure if it’s worth spending the $$ to replace the flooring

I have so many things that I want in a house. Open layout, high ceiling, nice view from the backyard, prestigious neighborhood… one thing that I surprised myself with is that I want a house in a prestigious neighborhood, even though what I can afford is the entry-point price in this neighborhood. Am I being irrational?

I’m looking to purchase a home. I have enough for 20% down and I qualify for a traditional mortgage but my dad suggested he lend me the full cash to make the sale that way I have more negotiating room and can close faster. Then once I close I can refinance it and keep 20% in the house and pay my dad back for the 20%. Is there a downside to this? Will it get messy?

Can you rent out a second home? I read something about you have to live there a minimum of 14 days or 10% of the total days you rent it out for, so if I live in it 36 days, can I rent it out the rest of the year?
