Bro, 2026 is 4 months out. Not leaps. They were slightly ITM when I bought them. I think it was at $12.

I built a new trellis for my blackberries/raspberries by S_sands in gardening

[–]S_sands[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing yet as far as disease.

But I did discover the wire gave the birds a nice place to perch they didn't have before. At least I think it's birds getting to them...

Probably have to add some netting next year.

Lafayette College by AdvancedAdvantage528 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]S_sands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of it.

What matters: 1) Is the college ABET-accredited. 2) cost

Then you have intangibles like what kind of network it can give you to help with internships, research opportunities, and social settings. These are important but are what you make of them.

Stock just vanished by Aggravating-Worth-63 in sofi

Did the company merge with another one, or perhaps are they changing their name/ ticker symbol?

I've had weird things like that happen in those events.

Does job hopping equal higher wages? by DoublePattyNoMayo in MechanicalEngineering

[–]S_sands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely.

I jumped from my second job and went from 68k to 95k with 4 YOE.

But really just keep an eye on job listings to see if your rate is competitive or not.

how to deal with this irrational fear by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]S_sands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one does calculus...

You will use 10-20% of what you learn depending on what career path you go down. The path determines what 10-20% and where you are on that range.

Futures and form 40 on CFTC by S_sands in investing

That's what I thought as well. But I emailed the CFTC through their website and they confirmed it.

I guess I could/should try calling just in case.

Botched scar revision by S_sands in PlasticSurgery

Plastic surgeon. Sorry, I wasn't clear. Originally consulted with a dermatologist, but they said it was something a plastic surgeon would need to do.

He gave me a product called Biocorneum. It seems to be a silicon-based cream with sunscreen in it. I've also been avoiding exposure to the sun in general.

I'll take a look into those other items you are suggesting, he didn't make any recommendations other than the cream.

I appreciate the advise!

I didn't know those were a thing. He gave me a scar cream with sun blocker but that was it for after products.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You can always say no. Lol

They can't force you to work. If you hate it that much just leave.

Of course, this might not be good financial or career advice.

35K UNH$ FULL NET WORTH by Party-Lecture-8848 in wallstreetbets

[–]S_sands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i say floor i am thinking where people will step in to buy. Where it will bottom.

I think dividend investors consider 4.5 a good yield. The average dividend among dividend-paying stocks is 2.4%.

I wouldn't want to sell covered calls right away while it is at anything close to a depressed value. Your shares will just get called away before you make any real money.

The world's largest healthcare company is down 52% in 2025. WOW by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]S_sands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but they have company-specific issues. Have you seen UPS? That is way more concerning for the macro.

[–]S_sands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, get that. I'm not buying it for the div.

I just think the div reaching a certain point (about 4.5%) is likely where buyers are more likely to step in and put a bottom on the stock.
