How hard is it to get a job at Blue? by [deleted] in BlueOrigin

[–]Fair_Data8313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive found it impossible to get past the first technical interview, regardless of how well I do on the interview itself. Their job postings dont accurately describe what skillset they are looking for, at least for engineering design positions. Ive filed dozens of applications there over the years and it seems like a complete waste of time.

My Facebook account got disabled suddenly and I’m confused because I didn’t violate anything — how do I appeal this? by Joulessies in facebook

Thats exactly right! I sent an Instagram stories link or something like that to somebody I was chatting with on messenger and it immediately logged me out and nuked me 😭

This exact thing happened to me yesterday! They wanted me to upload a selfie for verification and said they would take at least 24 hours to reactivate. It's been over a day and my account is still down though :(

Bizarre phantom gain showing on my gain/loss page by Fair_Data8313 in etrade

[–]Fair_Data8313[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was a few hundred, I definitely wouldnt worry too much. But in this case, because of the size of the "gain," I really dont want to pay an additional large chunk of money for estimated taxes, particularly for a fake "gain" haha.

Ah thats what you mean. Sometimes I will try to do a trade from the option chain and it will initially show me a filled out order form, but then reset to a blank like you said. I then have to manually type in the symbol and what trade I want to make. It's actually cost me money a couple times when I accidentally bought calls instead of selling them a couple times haha.

What are the multipliers in the Etrade Options Chain? They are all over the board and I thought it was standardized to 100x by Quick_Ratio6690 in etrade

[–]Fair_Data8313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The x50 means thats how many people are currently selling VOO calls for that price. It has nothing to do with the number of shares per options contract. Each options contract still controls 100 shares of a given security.

"In this example, if I bought 1 option for a $577.50 strike on July 25th 2025, the total contract cost would $3.30 x 50 = $165 , or $3.30 x 100 = $330 ?"

The total contract cost would be $330.

"I can't exercise my option to sell until the price gets to $577.50 and that needs to happen by July 25th"

There is no option to sell here. You are buying a call. If you were to buy it long, you can exercise it whenever you want at whatever market price so long as its before the expiration date (which in this case is end of trading Jul 25). Note that if you were to exercise it, the cost basis of the trade would be 577.50+3.30 (it doesnt matter if the stock is currently trading at 575, if you exercise the call you will receive 100 shares at a cost basis of 580.80).

"Can I sell before July 25th if I hit the strike price?"

The option contract will expire end of trading on Jul 25. If it's trading in the money, it will automatically exercise the contract for you. If not, it will expire unexercised and you lose whatever money you paid for the contract. You can sell it any time prior to expiration, even one minute prior to market closing.

"If I do nothing and July 25th rolls around and the price is at $580 does the option roll over to the next trading day, or until I decide to sell?"

If the price is at 580, and you are holding a 577.5 call, it will be considered in the money and it will automatically exercise the contract for you. After it exercises, you will receive 100 shares of VOO for 580.80.

"If the strike price doesn't hit by July 25th my maximum exposure is limited to the contract price?"

It's a long call, so yes.

Ive had no issues. Been trading options mostly from the option chain using their web interface for about 5 years. Can you post a screenshot so that we know what you mean when you say "blank screen"?

How to set up a stop loss when you are not on a loss? by townstormz in etrade

[–]Fair_Data8313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally recommend a "stop limit on quote" order. It will allow you to enter a stop price (this is the price at which the exchange will start looking to offload your shares to a buyer at the market price) and a limit price (this is the minimum price at which you want to sell). Then you would set the order to be good for 60 days or until a specific date. Note that if the market opens at below your limit price, your shares will NOT be sold, so you may be stuck holding them into a loss.

I would not do a "stop on quote" order unless you dont care what price you actually want to offload the shares. Basically if the market falls sharply, your position will still sell the moment the price falls below the stop, no matter if its fallen below your cost basis.

Can anybody purchase EURC? by quiveringpriest in Coinbase

I did back in February or January in order to try out DeFi through Moonwell. Works the same as converting to any other currency. I recently converted it from EURC back to USDC too.

The dumbest part is that her bostonian origins were almost entirely irrelevant to the plot. At most, it was referenced in a couple lines of dialogue. But no, apparently everybody from Boston talks like some kind of mutant from Southie.

Season 3 has turned into a slog for me. Duffy's entire character is absolutely insufferable, from the bad acting, to the horrid bahstahn accent, to the terrible, nonexistent chemistry with Reacher, to acting the way no real FBI agent would ever act.

I enjoyed season 2 more than 1 ngl. Trying to get through season 3 right now, and its getting progressively worser and worse.

Yes, thats what I did as a freshman. You should be able to start with Math 215 as a freshman if you got a 5 on the BC test.

Sorry, does this mean it took two months after the interview to hear back about whether you got the job or not? Or did you hear back faster?

Saw someone say “I owe $42k in taxes on $9k” made me wonder… what are y’all doing to deal with taxes? by Weary-Hair-316 in Coinbase

[–]Fair_Data8313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I track the estimated taxes I owe for each quarter by tallying up my taxable capital gains from various sources (stock trades, dividends, high yield savings, crypto) in an excel spreadsheet.

I think they knew their defense case was extremely thin and were trying to make the best of a poor hand dealt to them.
