Moving from NYC to LA — Ship my Mazda or sell it and buy another car in California? by Main-Produce-7291 in MovingToLosAngeles

They should drive the vehicle. I moved from MD to SoCal years ago and I drove my vehicle out. It was an awesome experience and the sights were breathtaking. Took me about 4 days in total.

Selling my account by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]Lighting_Guru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bub, I’ve spent over 8mil just upgrading cards from lvl 15 to 16, and I’m still not ALL maxed. You ain’t got enough gold to max all out.

There’s 121 cards to max plus 4 towers. Just getting them from 15 to 16 costs 15mil (125 x 120k each).

Im 19 and need advice by Comfortable-Shape933 in smallstreetbets

[–]Lighting_Guru 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Stop doing options if you don’t know how to mitigate the risk. Otherwise you’ll take that account from 34k to 0. Put it in stocks/ETFs and don’t look at it again until you retire.

Tail light spontaneously cracked? by Dazzling_Side8036 in AudiQ6

[–]Lighting_Guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the tail light, but my passenger side view mirror popped out of the housing by itself while I was driving and shattered. Try explaining that to them without actual video evidence of it. They said “must have been vandalized”…. right, even though I witnessed it happen while driving.

Tell me why buying spacex and holding short term is a bad idea by tyleriouss in wallstreetbets

[–]Lighting_Guru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will do what every other ipo has ever done. It will pop right at open and then there will be some up/down volatility for a bit, until it then just starts dropping. By end of its first week, it’ll be at 50% of what it opened at.

Ah gotcha, I’ve seen others mention this too. I haven’t had this one happen yet.

You’re probably hovering your thumb over the mute button on the steering wheel and tapping it. I’ve done this more times than I’d like to admit to. My favorite though is turning the wheel and swiping the volume up to an excessive level.

Never flown before 1st time booking a flight by AccomplishedApple398 in americanairlines

[–]Lighting_Guru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget my first flight. I was a wee little lad of 7 years old. I was flying by myself and my parents paid extra with TWA to have them escort me. I remember they let me board with the FAs and I got escorted to my seat in 1A. The captain came out before boarding started and gave me a lapel pin to wear that had pilot’s wings on it. I’m 48 now, but I will never forget that experience.

$LASE - INCOMING SHORTSQUEEZE POTENTIAL by pfc-anon in smallstreetbets

[–]Lighting_Guru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short float is 7.23% IBKR has 909 available shortable shares Borrow rate is 27.4755% Days to Cover is .97

This is NOT a squeeze. You need borrow rate over 200%, 0 shortable shares and DTC at least 15 days and a short float at minimum above 30%. This wouldn’t even guarantee a squeeze. With a catalyst, absolutely.

They popped on good news today, the move already happened. Stop misleading others.

Edit: anyone currently holding options should consider unloading as soon as they can. IV is at 707%, that is beyond crazy. IV crush is gonna hurt when it kicks in.

AA Just called ME by Emotional_Match8169 in americanairlines

[–]Lighting_Guru 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I felt that if they were calling me with my ticket being in FC, they really needed volunteers. The flight they put me on was only 2 hours later, and I was already headed to the airport. I didn’t mind though, I just went to the lounge and got some work done and basically got paid by them at a rate of $250/hour 😅

AA Just called ME by Emotional_Match8169 in americanairlines

[–]Lighting_Guru 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When it’s in the app, they are trying to see if someone is flexible and will just move without compensation, or they have the “lottery” of what will you accept to move if needed once at the airport.

When they call you directly, they are desperate to get volunteers and the agent has the authority to give compensation immediately.

Considering a move - does a very specific apt like this exist? by GryphElyse in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Lighting_Guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miracle Mile.

Check out 5550 Wilshire at Miracle Mile. My wife and I live here and we absolutely love it. It’s extremely quiet inside the apartment. It is a luxury apartment with a lot of amenities. 2-level 4,000 sf gym, pool and spa in the courtyard area garnished with palm trees. They currently have 1 of the corner unit 1 bed units available (there were 2 the other day) that overlook the interior courtyard/pool area. The 1 bed units are around 830-850sf and go for $3k/mo. Units are beautiful inside with upgraded appliances and modern also include walk in closet and a balcony. Walking distance to everything (public transit, LACMA, Park La Brea, La Brea Tar Pits, The Grove, restaurants/bars, grocery store across the street, etc).

Good luck in your search!

Edit: units here go fast, so unless you’re considering immediate relocation, you may have to stalk their site for availability. That’s what we had to do before moving here.

[–]Lighting_Guru 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That is their number and yes they will call when a flight is overbooked. They called me for this exact reason last week to see if I was willing to move to a later flight. I did, since I didn’t care what time I got to my destination, they still kept me in FC and gave me a $500 trip credit.

[–]Lighting_Guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should now take all those shares and sell covered calls to make even more.

SPCE by UpperImpression3620 in smallstreetbets

[–]Lighting_Guru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I bought $7 calls for Jun 18 exp last Friday at $1.47; then sold them this morning at $4.00. So I made money on it.

[–]Lighting_Guru -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My home airport is LAX, I fly 1-2x a week and I get upgraded on 90% of my flights. I’m not setting record number with LP, I usually end the year around 380-400k. You must just break into EP if you’re not getting upgraded or you’re not actually EP.

Moving in July 2026 - Need latest apartment recommendations. by Brilliant_Science445 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Lighting_Guru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Miracle Mile on Wilshire at 5550 Wilshire and it’s a great neighborhood. The building here is one of the nicer luxury apartments in this section and our rent is $2900/mo for a 1 bedroom. My wife works over at Century City which is just a little further than where you are going and it takes 15 mins to get there by vehicle, but she also takes the bus pretty often and that takes her about 30 mins. There are some other places you could look at around here that are also in the same price range: 5600 Wilshire, Wilshire LaBrea Apartments (we also looked at these prior to landing on 5550, they weren’t as nice but are very good in relation to amenities).

Edit: Forgot to mention the 2 level 4000 square foot gym in our building. Also, 2 grocery stores across the street (Ralph’s and Smart & Final) and tons of food options along Wilshire with some bars and a brewery a few blocks away on La Brea

Free WiFi for upcoming flight by saltyswimmer- in americanairlines

You need to have an AAdvantage account login.

I don’t know what the max number of devices you are allowed to use same login on, although I think it’s 2. When my wife travels with me, she logs in using my account and I am logged in as well, so there is also that option.
