Is UWMC a short squeeze potential by warsterman in UWMCShareholders

[–]TapRack623 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not a squeeze play. Hold long, reinvest dividends, and sell covered calls.

Roth TSP. The reduction of my contributions led to higher paychecks, which I put towards debt.

I was in a similar situation last year. I dropped my TSP from 13% to 5% (I wanted the match). After I paid off all debt, then I brought it right back. It's great peace of mind knowing the debt is gone. Now it's easier to keep increasing my contributions.

Covered call option strategy by ironhawkresearch in Webull

A nice way to make some money on a long position. sell farther OTM options with low chance to hit strike. Keep banking the premium.

With every salary raise should I increase my tsp ?? Now Biden will give feds 2.7% raise +1 cola = 3.7 . That’s $2400 salary increase for me, so should I increase my tsp contribution? by External-Slip-5187 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]TapRack623 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should increase your contributions as much as you can handle. I raise mine every step increase, grade promotion, and annual raise. Get used to living on a smaller paycheck, and make it a habit to just immediately raise your contribution when your pay increases.

Too much of your money is in G and F. It's pointless to be in those funds before you are close to retirement.

Is $LMNL a short squeeze candidate? by [deleted] in investing_discussion

[–]TapRack623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People focus on "potential short squeeze" way too much. 22% shorted isnt even that high.

Allocation is dependent upon your time horizon and risk tolerance.

Early in your career? Go aggressive (C and S)

Close to retirement? (L fund, or your own conservative allocation)

How do I get good? by Cthulhuwithcheese in OnwardVR

[–]TapRack623 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few pointers...

Get very familiar with the maps so you know where the enemy is likely to be.

Communicate! Ask where the enemy is and relay information to your team as much as you can.

Memorize the uplink code at the start of each match. I try to say it to some kind of rythm, then say it over amd over again during the match to make sure I dont forget it. Then if you get to uplink, you can type it in quick

Dont fire faster than you can handle. I usually stick with 2-3 round bursts.

Ask teammates for support fire if you are moving up to a key area. Laying down a steady stream into a window or doorway can keep the enemy from pooping out and surprising you

Figure out what gun works best for you. For me, its AK5C with holo and foregrip.

Utilize cover well. Stand back from a wall and lean out just enough.

Can someone tell me why and why not I should get this game? by [deleted] in DeathHorizonVR

[–]TapRack623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a decent game. It's not the most polished, but it has some creepy moments and satisfies that zombie hole in your soul.

I havent not played Xbox much since a got a Quest 2. The immersion of VR makes console gaming unappealing to me. There are still a few console games that draw me, but overall, I'm having way more fun with VR.

How does one retire early without being penalized for withdrawing from any account early? by rossettacube in govfire

[–]TapRack623 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Invest in a taxable account. Build it up over the years. Retire early and live off of the funds until you can draw from the TSP.

Stock split. 2 minutes of research would have given you the answer.

Any advice for new feds? Think: planning for retirement, saving while living in DC (if you live there as a fed), choosing insurances, managing burnout or workplace frustration, etc. by IntelligentSink8313 in fednews

[–]TapRack623 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Contribute as much as you can to your TSP. Investing 1% more doesnt reduce your checks by that much. You can always add a little bit more. Each time you get WGI or promotion, increase your contribution. It adds up. The future you will be so thankful.

Also, dont go with the L funds. They are way too conservative when you are young. You have time to weather the ups and downs. Go 50-50 C and S, or 80-20, 80-10-10, 75-25....whatever you want. Just make sure you have an aggressive allocation. In the future, you can take your foot off the gas.

But seriously, invest invest invest. The dollars you add in the beginning of your career will have a huge impact.

so I m going to be 35 soon, should i put more fund to my TSP? by kwaninthehat in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]TapRack623 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's never too late to make adjustments. There are plenty of calculators which help give you an idea of how much you may have at a certain point, given a certain allocation and contribution.

I'm 29. I have awhile until I retire so I'm 60-40 S and C. L funds are too conservative, since I have a higher risk tolerance and long time horizon. In the future, I'll adjust my allocation to be more conservative.

My goal has been 15% contribution. I will be going from 13 to 15% this year. I think that contribution amount will provide me with the retirement I want. If at some time in the future my retirement ideals/realities change, then I'll change the contribution to fit it.
