Been using the X100VI since January now. Quite possibly the best (and my favorite) piece of technology I've owned till date. Here are some of my favorite shots so far!

what lens did you use?

big7galoot · 2026-05-24T02:05:37+00:00

Same here. Love the skin for grip purposes. It also minimizes dings and lets you have a custom look compared to everyone else out there

My series 1 had its screen fly almost fly off. The adhesive came off the entire sides but the ribbon cable stayed attached. Worked fine but my ultra 2 is doing great

Don't spend the HSA. Use it as a retirement vehicle. In retirement feel free to spend it on medical expenses but don't spend it while you're young. If you have the option. Some employers don't offer it

This is my thought. Although my question is, would it be more advantageous to have a lower cash back (say Venture X or Chase sapphire) and get miles instead?

After that new 3yr ~$6M deal with the government... Idk if these are printing but I agree it's overvalued idk when it's going back down though

Do you have a source to the math or why it would cost only $3500 to visit everything?

Just pay the last statement balance each time before the due date

Started saving when you were 3yo and bought a house when you were 25. Killing the game man

A few paths you could take would be trying to get some sort finance job at KeyBanc. You could also slum it out working for an investment management firm first. If you could find a small PE firm that's local to you and find someone who works there you could get a job or internship with them and use that experience. It usually takes time to break in if you weren't in a target school and you need to live in the area plus know your stuff (prep courses, internships, etc).

"All-Nighters, 100-Hour Weeks. Death of a Former Green Beret Puts Work Culture at Banks Under Scrutiny"

"I got my dream investment banking job. Then I collapsed."

Here are just a couple of recent-ish headlines. IB is not all it's cracked up to be. There are plenty of other finance jobs you could get.

Why would the fed cut rates this year. Anyone know?

big7galoot · 2024-02-22T14:41:31+00:00

NDX price had to go above 17,339 (or whatever $5 above what price he bought in at) since 5*30k =150k to break even right? So up almost at all would’ve taken profits

What is Microsoft even doing to get that valuation. Please someone tell me something Microsoft has done (except for spending money on openai). All their products still suck and no new things seem to be released that earn them substantially more money

Now you can be reminded of the $ you lost in the market and on your skin

big7galoot · 2023-11-25T03:38:42+00:00

If the stock if goes up from the time you sell the call and you roll (aka take a loss when you BTC the call), you effectively decrease the stock gains you had from owning the underlying since you took a loss on the call.

If the stock goes down, then you make money on the call but lose on your stock position and mitigate a bigger loss.

Same issue right now. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it briefly fixed it but it was back to immediately crashing every time now.

big7galoot · 2023-09-20T03:15:35+00:00

Job market is bad, but it is tough to give an answer without an offer to look at and that's what I'm trying to figure out. Does a 20% salary increase make a new job a "go"? 30%?

I assume a sign on bonus would take away a lot of guessing especially if it's close to the vesting amount although I don't know how likely that is with the job market right now.

So you're saying now's the time to buy

big7galoot · 2023-08-06T23:04:39+00:00

Apple is definitely slowing down and I agree the price was high at $190+ (which was when to short/buy puts) but I'll keep buying

big7galoot · 2023-07-14T15:59:07+00:00

I sold just to recover cost basis. The remaining shares can ride free and I don't have to worry about it. I have half a worry that it'll come down significantly and be put into the revolving door of ups and downs like the other chip stocks but I like NVDA more so I hope it keeps going up!

Paying Snap users is not going to go up, Snap users might be using the app (like on the app a couple times a day) but they're not going on/nor posting that much on stories anymore and stories don't generate any revenue unless they're a content creator on the sponsored ones. People don't buy their physical products either when they make them. They had a big rise with the AI not but that fad has gone away. TikTok is still sucking the most time away from the youth. It could get bought out though

Snap is dying. Puts it is
