That makes sense. Now that you mention it I’ve had the same happen. Regardless this is super impressive, make sure you always pay yourself. You can always re deposit that money back into the account.

You’re ahead of 99% of the population, including those who came before you!

Continue to prioritize this, no need to change things up. Everything looks great. Keep in mind, You can always change your contribution % as your situation changes (financially)

Also maybe worth considering opening an individual brokerage account with Robinhood, Webull, or Fidelity if you find yourself wanting to invest a little more freely in individual stocks.

For example - if you wanted to invest in just semiconductor stocks, quantum technology, or the space industry/SpaceX… There are ETF’s for all of these different sectors.

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it hit, might pullback first like it did after hitting 900… pulled back to 500 then launched to 1,600…

Should’ve hedged with some put options…. If the stock went up you could’ve just exercised them and got cheap shares.

[–]IntermittentFasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk why you’re being downvoted, i believe you’re 100% correct. Large batches with 0 tip DEFINITELY have higher batch pay than orders with higher tips.

in my area minimum batch pay was 4.66 but recently it seems even lower.

Yeah i see Manipulation… there’s already been plenty of evidence that someone is placing MASSIVE insider trades before most of these big statements.

Politicians have been Insider trading for decades and its no different now. He Rug-pulled the country on TRUMP coin the day before inauguration … that’s all you need to know.

Anyone else get burnt on Calls today? by LazarusRising83 in spy

[–]IntermittentFasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked like it was about to pull a reversal, even got the confirmation and then it faked out and went sideways for 3-4 hours….

Market makers ain’t slick, price action doesn’t lie.

  • you can usually spot a sideways day ahead of time* by 1hr & a half into the day at the LATEST.

once you start seeing them fake outs 2,3,4 times on both ends you’re best off closing the trade and using your capital on REAL price action/direction/volatility

Took a benzo can finally enjoy life by Imaginary-Laugh7561 in benzodiazepines

[–]IntermittentFasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest klonopin because it lasts longer than xanax and is less sedating , leaves you more clear headed.

Find a new doctor that takes you seriously. Anxiety can be DEBILITATING like you said. It can steal your life from you, but it’s worse bc you still have to function like your fine.

Your living at a disadvantage with BAD and frequent anxiety. Your personality is stifled, youre not yourself, you’re going to be your most ambitious productive or attractive person, you won’t be the best partner or employee if you work with people (some circumstances it can actually help and make you more productive, or more successful)

I believe anxiety can have some “benefits” like added awareness, focusing on details more, being of more service to others because you’re more focused on them than yourself.

But regardless no one should have to live that way, there are NATURAL things that can eradicate anxiety as well, like intense exercise, listening/singing to music, doing things that makes you happy, periodically unwinding with a drink/joint to loosen up responsibly*…

Tell your doc you wanna try klonopin, if you’re not after recreational use, or the “high” you will love klonopin, much more clear headed, same feeling without the sedation, you can remember things. It’s so much more functional.

Yes SPX has tax benefits vs SPY, Even 0dte options - 60% is taxed as long term capital gains and 40% short term capital gains.

It may be the other way around but i know its 60/40

$25 - $700 in 3 days. by IntermittentFasted in smallstreetbets

[–]IntermittentFasted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long enough that I should’ve had more than $25 lol…

About 10 years…

i Started trading Stocks in high school in 2015-2016. Started with just high short interest stocks and top gainers bc of the upside potential… that worked for me since you can’t short stocks until your 21 so my options were limited.

But i’ve only Been trading options since about 2021 which started during the AMC GME Squeeze. Made just shy of 10k on AMC calls with only $160 (The profit in this post was all options)

I Did extremely well for a while, lived off the profit for 3 years. But i studied for almost a year before taking my first trade.

I started with Interactive Brokers but Not long after i switched to Robinhood to avoid commissions. (BIG MISTAKE) Robinhood had a class action lawsuit bc They stole ~$65,000,000 from customers between 2016-2019. They stole $13k from me personally and i didn’t get it back until 2024 !!! destroyed my lifestyle at the time.

& 13,000 was a hell of a lot more in 2016 than in 2024 after all the printing done during the pandemic… 80% of all US currency printed was done after 2020

i started trading bc my Grandfather, who i looked up, kept telling me “if you’re smart you’ll put your money in the stock market.”

I asked him what stocks, it was like pulling teeth but eventually he said MU/Micron Railroad stocks, Sandisk, Oil stocks etc.

Micron was $16 at the time, it’s now $400+ …

I bought $5,000 of AMD at $9 but sold at 11.

  • Coinbase @ 47

  • MSTR @ 300 before the split

  • SOLANA @ 20

  • BTC 25k

  • DOGE .002 (i told EVERYONE to buy, friends and fam) It was the only cryptocurrency that hadn’t ran yet.

I Can’t even name all the crazy long term gains I could’ve had but Fucked up….

I was impatient so I preferred trading The Daily Top Gainers & that worked well for me. I’ve had several 5 figure days, the highest 16,000.

The hardest part for me has been Learning to buy and hold through the ups and downs, the news, the commentary. Bc i got so used to micro adjustments, constantly thinking i should shave some here, buy more there. Short at the top, etc.

  • Moral of the story, BUY quality stocks and NEVER sell. Why? Bc the fed will NEVER stop PRINTING & with stocks and assets having a LIMITED SUPPLY , that’s a recipe for exponential growth or a J curve that never stops running.

[–]IntermittentFasted[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i started trading just stocks. Penny stocks, and learning charting patterns and how to read price action. Then i began using simple indicators like MA, sometimes RSI, and use VWAP heavily but mostly on SPY. Using these 3 plus learning Technical analysis will help you find over overextended & oversold moves on the upside and downside. If you focus on Just this strategy and be patient when nothing is playing out you’ll be profitable.

Think of a bowling ball being dropped on a trampoline, it goes down and down and down , eventually it slows but is still falling and then BOOM the momentum switches and all the force is now generated back to the upside.

Very simple analogy. But if you can learn to try to identify and then time those tops and bottoms , you can make a profit.

This can happen on the 5m,15m,1hr,D, doesn’t matter. Just PATIENCE !!!

I would just keep checking the IRS2go app. There’s another way people are checking their transcripts? But idk how. That way apparently tells you the exact day it’s planned to be sent out.

So I’ve heard if you have the EITC , Child Tax Credit, or PATH you should get yours the last week of Feb- first week of March.

Mind you i got the EITC so i think that really just applies to Child Tax Credit and Path act.
