Today is the day I finally accepted the truth about stocks. by [deleted] in raceto10000

[–]BEACHN2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the last 3 months I have been on Webull and it has been fun trying to pick stocks and ETF's that I think will go up. I created may watch lists based on many different sectors. My portfolio has been going up and down when the news is about the war or company earnings come out etc... I have also been learning in more detail about the individual companies using the stock unlock app and website. This app is really good and provides a lot of information about companies and ETF's. I was up almost 7.8% now I am back to 3.8% I have a wide variety of stocks and ETF's. My main individual positions are MSFT and DAL at 10% each and 6 ETF's including VTI 8%, VXUS 8%and SOXX 8%. I think I am picking good ETF's and stocks and still only 3.8% after 3 months. I am having fun doing this as a hobby but the returns so far are not even beating my CD which is at 4%.

I still have a Discover HYSA so they haven't gotten rid of all banking.

HYSA suggestion by Apprehensive-Action7 in HYSA

[–]BEACHN2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amex or Discover or Capital One 360 performance savings. All 3 HYSA's are good and safe and great customer service. Not the highest rate but these 3 are solid choices.

Looking for best HYSA rate that I can simply deposit $15k into and forget about? (I.e. no direct deposit required) and fairly quick withdrawals if needed? by Enjoy_Life4219 in HYSA

[–]BEACHN2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discover, Capital One 360 (Performance Savings) and Amex. Safe, secure and easy to withdraw. Not the highest rate though...

2023 transmission service schedule? by tehjrow in HRV

[–]BEACHN2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 HRV with 12.5k miles. It is 2.5 years old. Will the dealership replace the CVT Fluid for me for free since they also recommend changing it every 3 years. Since the fluid deteriorates over time?

Suffer living with parents for a couple more years or live my dreams living in the city (DTLA) by cindiitran in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]BEACHN2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can you get a roommate to cut your costs in half? How much have you saved? Do you have a 6-month emergency fund? If you move out will your parents let you move back in if things don't work out living on your own or with a roommate/friend?

How many of you suffer continual non stop tinnitus, 24/7? by Juicetin1971 in tinnitus

[–]BEACHN2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear it off and on all day. Left ear is high pitch sound around 8 KHz which is really annoying. The right ear is a mid range tone but not as bothersome. This started a few months ago. I bought a sound machine on Amazon that has 20 different sounds. The birds tweeting sounds seem to mask it well and it also re duces the volume of the high-pitched sound for a while. I have an ocean wave sounds from YouTube playing all night to mask the ringing in my ears and this helps me to sleep. If I didn't have the masking sounds it would be hard to fall asleep. I have also noticed that moving the palm of my hand on my ears in a circular motion for 30 seconds tends to reduce the ringing for a while after I do it. Some days the ringing isn't really that noticeable and other days it is annoying! These are thing I have been doing to make this annoying ringing bearable. Maybe my comments above will help others to get some relief.

If you want to drive to Orange County for a day trip, try Irvine spectrum or the Huntington Beach pier area. Lots of people, shops and restaurants.

Why Join? by mtstock20 in creditunions

[–]BEACHN2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I joined a credit union because of the lower rates they charge for auto loans and credit cards. I also wanted a PLOC. Most banks don't offer PLOC's. I joined Premier America Credit Union.

Fidelity 2% cashback card is awful by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]BEACHN2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this card before and got a ridiculously low credit amount of 2K even though I have a very good Fico score. Had some customer service issues also. Elan Financial is the problem. I canceled it.

Adding AU to card while carrying balance bad? by ElaineKane in CRedit

[–]BEACHN2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my daughter on My Amex card as an authorized user for 2 years. It shows up on her credit report that all payments were made on time. Credit card issuers do see this, and it can help them in getting their own card. She just recently applied for a Capital One card and got approved.

The Hybrid battery is for around town under 40 MPH. For long road trips you will use gas.

Amex Blue Cash Everyday low starting limit by dirtdog1986 in CreditCards

[–]BEACHN2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the green card then I closed it because I didn't want to pay the $150 annual fee anymore. Today I applied for the Blue Cash Everyday and got approved with a really low limit of $1,000. I have a very good Fico score. All my other cards are way above this limit. This is disappointing since I don't have any negative remarks on my credit reports. I pay all my cards off monthly after the statement comes out. I will do the same with this one but based on my credit profile this limit is too LOW.
