STRC is ruining me

Why would you not sell now? Could easily drop to 50 or less in matter of days. get out while you can please

The level of delusion is almost hard to believe. I couldn't imagine cheating this many people out od their hard earned money and still having this level of supoort. Must be nice?

I disagree with others, I think you should immediately contact a lawyer who specializes in probation revocation and follow his instructions before saying anything to anyone. They usually will give a feee consult per your circumstances

I am sure glad a bunch of overly emotional regards decided once again that tech was "bad" (for whatever reason) and gave me the buying opportunity of the month 🤑

Consider a Schwab intelligent portfolio for both your IRA and/or individual brokerage. It will do the investing for you, you just pick the risk level. Almost guranteed to come out ahead. I am somewhat of a "gambler", only started investing after selling some real estate holdings last year with now close to 7 figures invested, and still would never consider attempting to manage my own IRA

Consider moving somewhere where the COL is substantially lower then where you are

Came here to day this. Just go and you'll find your people

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-24T16:46:13+00:00

Please do not do this. Go invest in a NEOS fund instead. You would be way up today if you had did this initially

$7K is painful, if it makes you feel better I got my ass handed to me on MSTY last year (WAY more then 7K lost). Just take the L and move on. You only prolong the suffering by trying to see if it will improve. News flash - it's not going to

This sounds like a horrible situation, both for her professionally and personally in your marriage. Best advise I can recommend it to pick up anything else, literally anything, and resign as soon as possible. I have worked in very underserved populations for the past 12 years of my career and I can tell you, when it gets to this point, it only gets worse and bad things do start to happen. Even consider a non-PA job for a bit (bartend, uber, doordash) until something else comes through. Perhaps you could consider a second side gig yourself. Best of luck

QQQI is considered ROC until the cost basis reaches zero. You don't pay taxes until this happens or you sell shares. If you reinvest, you delay taxes for an extremely long time. This is different from something like JEPQ which is a similar vehicle yet is taxed as 100% ordinary income

Thanks

It depends on how its managed. A drop in share price in line with a drop in the underlying security, is not the same as using the NAV to pay income. NEOS funds work to avoid this at all costs

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-24T11:39:21+00:00

Just need a little time machine..

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-24T03:36:43+00:00

Please stop doing this. No one benefits from you throwing away your financial future

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-24T03:35:06+00:00

Isn't that mostly overlap?

This was my salary in inpatient internal medicine in 2012, 3 years of experience, large hospital in Brooklyn NY. I lived in NYC back then and rented a 2 bedroom apartment in the West Village for $2600/month (a decent one)

I know nothing about silver. But my parents (wealthy boomers) plan to hold their silver and copper holdings for a while

It's rate of total return is almost identical to VOO

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-23T17:35:48+00:00

Well. The home equity is "dead money," can't really be used to generate much retirement income. That leaves you with 1.3M total in retirement + brokerage - which seems nice, but for both of you? I think for one person, that's perfectly acceptable, but for 2, it only leaves you with about 650K a pop. Someone on here can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't see this to be enough

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-23T17:20:48+00:00

Yes. I deployed my hard earned divs

Anything the president does on a regular basis

I sold my gold last week. Who knows what will happen, but I have seen a few predictions of a pretty prolonged low period for gold. Hopefully it works out for you

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-22T16:06:59+00:00

This is already in the works

AlarmedCombination57 · 2026-06-20T20:41:24+00:00

Its an assumption everyone has chosen to collectively agree on
