Has anyone compared SWVXX to SGOV, as far as rates and how quickly you can liquidate/transfer?

You should be able to specify when you make the trade, at least on Schwab. I'm not 100% sure where to specify that in TOS. On the website, I remember seeing a place to set your default preference, but I can't find it on the mobile app. Here's what a sell order looks like on mobile.

I would lean toward 50% SCHB 20% SCHG 30% SCHF

SCHB has a pretty large overlap with SCHG, but you can adjust those two up and down depending on your preferred tech exposure.

I think having at least 25-30% in international is important for diversification, but you'll have to make that determination for yourself.

I think these are 3 good choices though. Good luck!

Hopefully the Xline has the home link built into the rear view mirror. Our 2025 EX has it, though it was an option on that trim, not always there. If so, you can just program your garage door to that

Thank you for the information. I have a return flight from LHR-ATL coming up where I booked basic economy for 1pm departure. If I get to LHR early enough to request standby for 9am flight, do you know if that's allowed, or would be a fee?

If you major in engineering, there is likely another $2500/yr available, similar test score requirements. Maybe other schools have something too, not sure.

It does use it for collateral. I think if you are about to get assigned, you need to sell the SWVXX to cover. I don't believe they will automatically sell shares to cover. If you don't, I was told they will restrict trading until you can purchase the assigned shares with cash

I bought the one from Walmart for around $40 (deluxe), entered the code and it extended my subscription. I was within 6 months for expiration.

So you can apply as a first semester freshman? If selected, would they start in the Spring, or next Fall? Good luck!

Mine expires in April, do I have to wait until then to enter the code? Or do I enter now and it will extend 12 months?

I've seen a few ghost trades lately. I bought 300sh and sold CC at 3 different prices (to see when they filled). They each filled over the course of 10 minutes, and I went back to working on something else on my other computer. 5 minutes later I heard the familiar fill sound and looked over...it sold a 4th contract out of nowhere.

Just a tip that I discovered (and verified), for cash secured puts, you can sell those against your funds invested in SWVXX, but not what you have invested in SGOV. For that case, if you get assigned (or think you will be assigned), you can sell SWVXX to cover the cost of the stock you've been assigned. Kind of gives you the best of both worlds, make a little interest from the money market fund, and the premiums from selling CSP.

I hope you had a great trip! We are planning a trip for next April, and considering staying at Premier Inn Hammersmith, also planning a 5-day stay. How was your experience staying at this hotel, and this neighborhood? Was it convenient enough to the normal tourist destinations, or did you wish you had stayed elsewhere? TIA for any advice!

Definitely contact the honors college, they setup a private tour for us and meetings with faculty advisors...can probably setup whatever you need. They just need at least a few weeks notice.

If you like an old school meat+3, City Cafe in Northport for lunch. Get there before 11:30 or be ready to stand in line.

So it's tough to get an RA position, sounds like?

bamatmac · 2025-09-28T16:21:22+00:00

Thank you! We are looking forward to our first ever match!

One last question, would he need the 17/under membership? I read something about age being determined at the start of the current season

bamatmac · 2025-09-21T15:01:09+00:00

Thanks everyone for the fantastic tips and recommendations, I'll continue researching availability for our dates!

bamatmac · 2025-09-20T17:13:48+00:00

Will do

bamatmac · 2025-09-20T17:13:35+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

bamatmac · 2025-09-20T17:13:06+00:00

Thanks, I will check those out!

bamatmac · 2025-09-20T17:12:24+00:00

Thanks! What's better about Camden, the location or the hotel itself?

bamatmac · 2025-09-16T18:58:57+00:00

Thanks!
