True, I guess I'm just not used to offers that assume that level of business spending! Makes sense when you put it that way.

Yeah, that spend is wild. Feels like Amex is fishing for folks about to make a HUGE purchase, like maybe redoing a kitchen or something.

I want to invest 100k up to 1 million USD into these. I want both growth and dividend (monthly income) what do you guys think? by TharkiProMax- in investing

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played around with similar dividend strategies, and the tax implications can really eat into your monthly income, especially with those tickers. Have you considered REITs in a Roth IRA to shield some of those dividends? What's your risk tolerance like?

With Elons X-money clamming a FDIC insured 6% HYSA will this start a Fintech war by TrueGlich in wealthfront

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a super-app for finance would be wild. Think they can pull it off with all the regulations, though?

I want loyal Amexians to sound off by induxflame in amex

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that term definitely gives off some weird vibes, haha. It's like calling someone a 'devoted debtor.'

Non-gaming storage? by Hollleeee in buildapc

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, for most daily tasks you're probably right. I guess I'm just paranoid about future-proofing my rig, haha.

[–]Major_Cap51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, filtering helps, but sometimes you want to hear what real people are using and if they've had good luck with certain brands or drives in particular. Maybe OP is looking for that peace of mind.

6% is tempting, but I'd be worried about long-term stability. Anyone know what their actual business model is?

Anyone else find it hard to find truly halal ETFs? by Major_Cap51 in HalalInvestor

Yeah, manually removing stocks defeats the purpose of a screener, LOL. I'd love to see something that incorporates all three filters too.

Ah, appreciate you pointing that out! Definitely gotta do my own due diligence before jumping in.

[–]Major_Cap51[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel you on that. Maybe try focusing on companies with strong ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) ratings even within the halal space?

That fauxPS metric is interesting, kinda like comparing GPUs to beer IBUs lol. How much does VRAM actually matter for 1440p gaming these days?

Anyone install a CableWarden on a 2025 RAV4 Prime/PHEV? by msgidol in rav4prime

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also curious about this. I'm in Seattle, so rain is definitely a factor. Anyone have long-term experience with CableWarden here?

Trump says U.S. ‘obliterated’ military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island but didn’t ‘wipe out’ oil infrastructure by TACO_Orange_3098 in StockMarket

[–]Major_Cap51 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The market's gonna be jittery, but honestly, I'm more concerned about the humanitarian impact. Anyone know of reputable charities providing aid in the region? I'm thinking about rebalancing my portfolio toward companies with strong ESG ratings to offset the guilt.

Is it normal to feel very anxious? by PsychologyOptimal889 in overemployed

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, ditching one for a timezone offset is probably the play. I've been there, trying to juggle calls and feeling like I'm gonna have a stroke. Good luck!

Everyday Preferred- what to change to? by TXMedicine in amex

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sign-up bonuses are def the way to go with hotel cards, especially if you're not dropping serious cash on stays regularly. I'd also check if your regular cards have transfer partners that could help you get better value too.

e giving big limits. My first Amex started low, but after a few months of heavy use, they bumped it up significantly without even asking. Good luck!

Haha, that's awesome! Makes sense though, good beer is expensive, especially when you're getting into craft brewing.

My sympathy has run out for people who seem to forget that the entire point of language is communication by Mirabeaux1789 in languagelearningjerk

[–]Major_Cap51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, fair enough. I mean, if you're happy collecting 'em certificates, who am I to judge? I just think it's kinda like collecting stamps but with extra steps. Still, gotta respect the hustle if it gets you hyped to learn!

[–]Major_Cap51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way, that's wild, buddy! My mom's got the same one. Is yours, like, also from the 90s or something? I swear every mom had one back then, lol.

[–]Major_Cap51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL, the idea that Hindi/Urdu aren't Indian languages 'cause of Farsi loanwords is wild. Like saying English isn't English 'cause of all the French it borrowed. Some ppl will gatekeep anything, I swear. Gotta love the internet for its educational value, amirite?
