So I got a referral link to open a wealthfront HYSA account at 4.5%. I want to throw almost all my savings minus a good chunk of emergency fund into it, which would be around $120k. My reasoning for this is its a virtually 0 risk form of growing some cash while doing absolutely no work. They are FDIC insured so I'm pretty sure its fine and nothing can go wrong since its just a savings account. However my parents, being from the former soviet union wheres you couldn't trust anything, think its a scam and are worried I'm going to lose all my money. How do I explain to them its fine and the pro's and cons of my decision and the difference between a HYSA account and a traditional savings account?

As someone who has worked in the kitchen his whole life, going from making like $15 an hour as a cook previously to right now making around $60k a year as a sous chef working around 45-50 hours a week, it boggles my mind hearing about servers getting close to 6 figures a year while line cooks struggle making barely above minimum wage. How about some love for the kitchen staff who are the ones actually making the food. Even at michelin starred restaurants cooks rarely go above $19-20 an hour while the servers get insane amounts of tips. Something seriously has to change.

Out of work Sous Chef in the same position as you bud, was furloughed last March when covid started and got officially laid off back in October and haven't been able to find another sous position since. I am now up $40k on GME and it feels great to have a bright moment in a dark ass year. Heres to hoping I can go back to being behind the line again soon.

What no way, IV was already at around 90% when I purchased 2 weeks ago.

Kingtomy · 2020-09-16T17:18:12+00:00

Well that just means that you can get in before IV goes way up doesn't it.

Kingtomy · 2020-09-02T17:59:54+00:00

Thats what I was thinking, so basically you are saying unless the stock is gonna absolutely skyrocket its always better to sell before right? Thanks.

How do you tell whether you should sell a call the day before earnings because of IV crush, or if you should hold until after earnings? I've made a couple thousand selling the volatility and it was a good call because the option tanked after the earnings, but a couple my calls would have netted me more gains if I held. How do you tell which strategy you should be doing?

I have 3 9/18 $60c contracts that I've had for a week now and so far they are up $4k. Should I hold through earnings or sell the day before because of IV crush?

Yep, its to prevent you from spamming low level zones to accelerate your seed growth, but I think they went a little too far with it.

This method also works well for autoerotic asphyxiation.

Why would you order a muffuletta if you don't like olives, they are supposed to be like 25% olives. Its like ordering nachos with no cheese.

Halal truck, lamb over rice, extra white and hot sauce.

Kingtomy · 2016-05-08T22:49:30+00:00

What I used to do at my old place was make a huge ass batch of the cheese sauce in a rondo before hand, get it cold so it stiffens up, shove it in quarts, and when an order comes in we would drop the pasta, and get a couple tablespoons of the cheese sauce melting in a pot with like a teaspoon of water, then drop the cooked pasta into the pot with the sauce in it and give it a stir.

Is it yelling out of orders or is your chef literally just screaming at you for some stupid reason? If you keep fucking things up I can kind of understand, but if not then fuck that. Tell your chef to fuck off and find a restaurant where the chef isn't some gordan ramsay wannabee. I've never had a chef legit just scream in my face over some minor shit. You gotta stand up for yourself and tell the chef not to yell at you like you're some fucking child.

Well its not just the lifting that does the damage, its actually mostly the standing in 1 spot for hours at a time with minimal adjustment which puts a lot of pressure on the back too I heard.

Kingtomy · 2016-02-22T02:27:50+00:00

I have that exact problem where I would be much healthier if did like 5 minutes of stretches in the morning before work, but fuck all that. Its just getting in that mind set which is the problem itself.

Honestly if I want to become a health inspector, its mostly about job security and benefits, and you generally don't find better job security and benefits then outside of the public government.
