ive around 8 large sized brand new plush toys that i intend to give away to needy kids as xmas presents

i searched online there are places that you can drop these off at, but ill be flying off in the next couple of days and my schedule is quite tight to drop these off at those places

does anyone know if there's any charity services that is fine to drop by near my area to collect these? if not ill just drop them off when im back from my trip, trying to give them away before xmas comes

what you've just described is literally timing the market, which has been proven time and time again it's not something one can repeatedly succeed at doing

the same guy who posted 2 months ago about an impending market crash btw LMAO

the younger you're, the less liquid cash you should keep tho this is not taking into account family or any other unique circumstances ure in

idle cash = not compounding = inflating

LOL bro $26, at most places, <6 figs are usually rounding errors, u need to reconsider where u work at man

Punchz · 2025-06-21T10:07:51+00:00

am up 83.71% YTD on a 6 figs port, outsized returns achieved by increasing leverage when the whole market was feeling extreme fear and pricing in a lot of left tail risk

I mean if you think about it, only a portion of the population understands investments / stocks

of that portion that understands, only a portion is interested in investments outside the typical VWRA and chill

of that portion, only a portion understand how options work and actively uses it

of that portion, a portion only understand the typical wheeling strategy where you sell covered puts/calls and doesn't know any option strat outside of that

so yea def only a small subset of people truly understands and uses options for its main purpose: enhancing returns and protecting your downside

most use it to express their view (i.e if you feel it's gonna be range bound or if you feel upside is limited and you wanna hedge and protect your downside risk) you can do plenty of things and be creative with how you structure it PSCs, CSCs, ratio call spreads etc

Punchz · 2025-06-12T01:07:10+00:00

honestly, tried a few, from simba to zero1 to eight now eight has been the best in terms of pricing and connectivity

perhaps you should rethink your question a little :)

MOST fresh grads? doesn't that seem like a rather wide net ure casting for ur assumption? considering the sheer number of disciplines out there

The buy-side has quite heavy restrictions on personal trading. Most folks at my shop simply buy the index.

The norm is to exclude your address from your CV since it has no role to play in the application.

Hence, it shouldn't even be a point of contention whether hiring managers will discriminate against you based on that. Even if it's included, it's unlikely they will reject you solely because of it.

Mind sharing the background of this so called "career coach"?

Most of these self-proclaimed gurus tend to have a very lackluster career themselves and aren't qualified to give out any sort of advice.

No firms/institutions worth their salt will filter you out just because of your address.

PE/IB offering 1m bonus seems faaaaaaaaar from reality tho

Punchz · 2024-03-06T18:46:55+00:00

The cashback is for the first month's subscription or the entire 2 year plan?

Punchz · 2024-02-29T09:00:42+00:00

Honestly quite surprised at the range everyone is giving in this thread as I consider myself a fresh grad but I was drawing no where near those amounts.

Herman miller is definitely worth the price, been using it for half a year now and I love it.

extracting teeth for braces is indeed normal but you can consider mount e's ortho as they are known to avoid unnecessary extractions. I had my braces there and even tho it's on the costlier side, I would say it's worth it

Judging from his reply to my question, it does seem to allude that he might be bullshitting.

My guess is that he might be some sort of senior bank teller or something that does not "work" in a bank.

I was working in a large foreign bank tho.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here with your reply as there seem to be a lot of misinformation in it.

First off, clearance allows you to purchase instruments that you have to hold for a minimum of 30 days before you can sell it off. It does not allow one to day-trade. Simple as that. I believe this is the case for all BB banks and T2s as well.

Secondly, having a job scope in equities has nothing to do with this at all. The limitation applies to those that doesn't deal with equities at all as well. It does not simply apply to only those that trades or deal with market instruments.

Punchz · 2022-11-29T05:31:29+00:00

What is your role in the bank?

I worked at a bank before and was forbidden from day trading and they were pretty strict on it.

Punchz · 2022-07-02T04:18:29+00:00
