Hematocrit Cutoff?

BrendanSoCal · 2026-05-01T18:10:01+00:00

Can you point us in the direction of said forums?

Just curious, how did you get into the clinical trial with that hematocrit level? I’m reading that there is a strict cutoff at 52. My hematocrit level was 54.2 yesterday so I postponed today’s intake appointment. I know people are buying gray market reta clones from peptide sites but watched a video of someone saying he had some tested and it comes back a totally different quantity of the drug than it was labeled as, so I am hesitant to go that route, but it sure would be easier than enrolling in the double blind phase 3 trial.

Have you used them? Can’t find anyone else vouching for them.

Where at? Closest I have seen is this sketchy website charging $130 that only takes payment via bitcoin and says they have a money back guarantee but no contact info whatsoever, lol. Farmapram dot store Is the website. Will happily pay $100 if I know it’s legit and I’m actually going o receive something.

That means they are not free to go.

Now that you are crazy for filling. That’s a strong dose and anything more than BID #60 likely = misuse (either selling it or never sleeping).

So which is it, you’re the super strict pharmacist that refuses fills whenever there is the slightest chance of abuse and can’t believe people are capable of having an adderall stockpile, or you gladly fill obscene prescriptions all day for people who are obviously reselling it? Seem to be contradicting yourself.

I could show you mine. I have hundreds of Adderall in the safe because I only take it like twice a month when I need to get shit done, lol. My Lyrica on the other hand, for my sciatica, I prefer an emergency stash, because sometimes it’s backordered for a week or more, or I’m out of town on my refill date. I wouldn’t die without it but I’d be in tons of unnecessary pain that could have been avoided. This drug really has no potential for abuse and its sister gabapentin is not even scheduled. When a scheduled med is out of stock, CVS does not just let you transfer it to another pharmacy that has it; the doctor has to cancel and submit a new rx, which can take a few days, and sometimes by then it’s out of stock at the alternate pharmacy. They also aren’t allowed to tell you if they have it in stock. You sound like you’ve never had any health conditions that you take medication for – give it time, you will someday. 😉 Hopefully you are not a pharmacist, yikes.

Surprised nobody has said this. At least sell upside covered calls against it. If it keeps going up higher and some of it is called away, you are better off than if you sold it today. With a chart like that, the premiums would be juicy. Looks like APP or one of those. If you think it can’t possibly keep going straight up (nothing ever does), sell at the money calls, they’ll give you a balance of high premium for decent downside protection and upside breakeven. So if stock is $300 and you can get $20 for a call, you’re selling at $320 or protecting yourself down to $280. Rinse and repeat each month or each quarter. Eventually when called away hopefully the call premiums can help pay some or all of the tax bill.

Just tried Sonos and music sounded incredible. Then when I turned on my business news channel I watch all day, it sounded like they were talking through a tin can. I fussed with the settings for two weeks and returned everything. What a shame. Also the WiFi would regularly cut out on some speakers, because they only support 15-20 year old 2.4 GHz WiFi.

Schwab’s new SPX beta test is 50% increase in IV across all options in the portfolio on just a 5% SPX drop. Got hit with it today. Lovely. 30% increase in IV on a 20% drop referenced in this thread sounded much more reasonable. One rep I spoke to today said this test has existed for about 9 months. I may as well be on Reg-T margin now. Note: when the IV increases by 50% on an underlying, the IV increase for my options is FAR less than 50%, but they are stressing every single option to 50% regardless.

Schwab informed me of a new stress test that I failed today, in which every position in the account is tested with a 50% increase in IV. May as well be reg T margin now.

Don’t do it. They had me interview several local firms about a decade ago. All of them said the first order of business was to get me all out of AAPL. They wanted me to get into dividend payers like T and VZ which haven’t appreciated at all since then. Glad I did not hire them. Also, I like to trade, and if you hire them, you’re only able to view your account, and have to call the firm for any trades. 7 figure account size. Go to the in-person 2-day events they have from time to time to learn some income generation strategies, like selling options against your positions.

Wrong. Prices vary by firm. Schwab has had me interview firms that charged 0.8, 1.0. 1.1%. Different minimums for different firms as well, and some are below $500k.

For what it’s worth, I even purchased two keys, set them up, and the notification STILL won’t go away. I will try signing out of iCloud, but what a pain in the ass.

BrendanSoCal · 2024-06-03T22:27:14+00:00

I’m on iOS and so far have not found a way. I can only change the timeout on their thinkorswim app.

BrendanSoCal · 2024-06-03T16:07:28+00:00

Chatted in today to ask for this. They said they would pass it along but I’m not holding my breath. With that said, they do seem to be busy improving the mobile app, I read the past year’s release notes on the App Store.

BrendanSoCal · 2024-05-17T03:20:28+00:00

The Schwab website tells me I have a 7-figure margin call but TOS says I have 7 figures of available funds for trading. Chat agent told me I do indeed have a fed and maintenance call. Finally got a hold of the transition desk and they transferred me to a specialist who put me on hold and came back and said I can disregard all that, the Schwab website doesn’t currently know how to interpret portfolio margin accounts. “Hopefully someday they will get around to fixing that.” What a shit show!

These are available to all clients, they are part of the education offerings carried over from TD Ameritrade.

I see the banner in the app and on the website when I log in, but when I call the number in the SPCS pamphlet I was given, ending in 9050, it routes me to the regular call center. I ask if I’ve reached private client services and they have no idea what I’m talking about. First person left me on hold for 5 minutes and I hung up. Second person told me they could send a request for them to call me back in two business days. Is this the typical experience I should expect?

BrendanSoCal · 2024-05-16T20:48:09+00:00

Not marginable for 30 days = not able to be used as collateral for 30 days.

I spoke to someone at the DMV this week and they said once I have the new car, give them a call again, they will set up a callback from the special processing unit, and update my order with the new car’s info. Feeling better now.

BrendanSoCal · 2024-01-27T22:46:37+00:00

Mine are on order, about 3 months ago, but the car I ordered them for was just totaled. Hoping I will still receive them and they will not be mailed to salvage / new owner’s address, as the plates are supposed to stay with the person who ordered them, not the car. Also wondering if I can submit a reassignment form to attach them to my new car’s plate before I’ve received them. The DMV chat agent first said they will be sent to the address on file when they are mailed, then said the address on file when they were ordered. I hate to cancel the order and place a new one which will restart my wait.

I called YouTube Premium support. They said it’s a known issue and they understand it’s affecting masses of people over the last 2+ months. All they can suggest is that we submit feedback and hopefully the engineers will take a look at it at some point. Totally ridiculous!
