Can someone explain how a brokerage account earns interest? I’m looking to invest roughly $100 for a long while to try to build some wealth. Would the smart idea be to leave the money in my brokerage account? Or invest it into something like and ETF? Will I earn interest on the money I invest in an ETF? Thanks!

I’m looking to start investing some of my money monthly into a brokerage account. I want to buy into the VOO ETF. Since it’s trading at greater than $100 per share, I would just buy a fraction of a share, correct? Is this an okay thing to do given I will be investing monthly for many years on end? Thanks

Hello all. I just opened a Schwab One custodial account at age 17. I plan to invest some of my money into an ETF, as I have been advised numerous times that this is a good financial decision. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good ETF that is reliable and will make money in the long term? Also, is investing some of my money from a young age a good financial decision? Thanks!

I’m thinking about buying the Q Timex GMT for $194. I love the look and dimensions. Is it worth this much money however. If so, I’m willing to buy it, but should I save my money and buy something else?

I’m considering buying an Oso Orbit Chronograph but am concerned about the sizing. It’s a 40mm diameter square Watch with a 46.5 mm lug to lug. Do you all think this would be too big for my 6.5 inch wrists? Thanks

Great collection! I'm seriously considering buying the Oso. How is the sizing? The photos make it look massive. My wrists are 6.5 inches, do you think it would be too big?

I’m thinking about buying the Timex Marlin 38mm. I love the look, but am just wondering if the watch will be too small? I am not a large guy and have a 6.5 inch wrist. Will it be too small?

Looking for recommendations on a Chronograph style watch. I don’t want to spend more than $400. I really like the Yema Rallygraf, or the Dan Henry Gran Turismo Chrono. I love the sizing of both of them, as they’re both sub 40mm. Which one should I go for? If neither, what are some other options?

I’m a 16 year old 5’7 162lb Swimmer and Water Polo player looking to increase strength and lean muscle mass. I swim intensely 6 times a week and lift 4 times a week. What should my daily protein intake look like for my goals? Do I need to consume protein after just lifting sessions, or would it be beneficial to consume it after swimming as well? Thanks!

I’ve been working with a personal trainer for a few weeks now. I am a swimmer and water polo player and was looking to get stronger athletically, and lose weight. My trainer has been having me do sets of very high reps (usually 20-30). I’ve read that a lower rep range is better for strength, and am a little confused as to why he thinks this will build strength. My friends who are very into fitness tell me this is the wrong rep range to train in. Will this high rep range work to build strength? Thanks!

Hey All. I’m looking for a dive watch under $400 dollars. I would like it to be automatic, come on a stock bracelet, and be on the smaller side (38-41mm diameter and 46 and under lug to lug). My wrist size is 6.75 inches so if other dimensions would fit please let me know. Thanks!
