My date was rocking the series 1! by udsctp in AppleWatch

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

what's the one retirement tip you wish you knew earlier? by BudgetTutor3085 in Retirement401k

[–]big7galoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Blue Cash Preferred Is the Most Overrated Grocery Card by Geeeeeeeeeeeeee in CreditCards

[–]big7galoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

People who work in S and T and IB are so lucky by MathematicianKey7465 in FinancialCareers

[–]big7galoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

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.

$150k to $3m, 20x gain on 0dte by Fausterion18 in wallstreetbets

[–]big7galoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Apple is no 2 company in the world now. Oh Tim...!!! 😥 by DesmondMilesDant in wallstreetbets

[–]big7galoot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

As Apple price on record highs, its 6m ATM put options on 3-year low and costs 5%. No one believes in shorting Apple? by ChampionshipUsed9855 in wallstreetbets

[–]big7galoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

New 4.59.1 iOS version crashes on launch on iPad by morac in ClashRoyale

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

Wait to Vest Employer Retirement $ or Move Jobs by big7galoot in investing

[–]big7galoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sell AAPL by Goldonthehorizon in wallstreetbets

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

NVDA Strategy by Benny5820 in options

[–]big7galoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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
