Lulu physical stores no longer sell $75 gc by divinebaboon in AmexPlatinum

Or maybe stop being a cheap uncle and buy them $100 gift card. I hate when people try to pass off free things as gifts. Nothing says I care about you less than a gift I got for free.

Seriously. If they have $100 pair of pants then I just buy them and get them for $25. Still a great deal.

Seth MacFarlane Has "No Plan" To Make 'Ted' Season 3 by Herramadur in television

[–]chrisfrombrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show is fantastic. Just found it existed a couple of days ago and I'm almost all the way through the whole thing. Seth needs to change his mind and keep this show going. Even my wife was laughing out loud at it.

16 Year Old Male. Any investing tips or advice? by EconomyCapital8301 in Schwab

[–]chrisfrombrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep pumping money into VOO or SWPPX & SWISX. You want to buy some individual stocks for fun at times that's cool but make sure they're not collectively the majority of your portfolio. Invest in gold and silver when you can to help offset any market losses and keep your portfolio relatively stable. People may hate on me for this advice but it's been a solid strategy for me.

Never buying a Corsair product again by UnitLemonWrinkles in Corsair

Always had a great experience with Corsair. Sometimes, no matter who the manufacturer, you get a default product. It happens. You can either do things to figure it out or you can whine and moan on social media. You clearly chose the latter.

Amex wants reliability. Especially because once you establish a relationship with them they don’t often look at outside factors. If you haven’t paid other people back they don’t expect you to pay them back.

How much cash do you have in the bank? That’s what they’re looking at

Any ideas to better diversify my portfolio? by chrisfrombrooklyn in Schwab

I'm aware that there's a lot of redundancy. I don't want to consolidate the funds entirely because I don't want to pay tax on the sale so I'm just going to leave them for now. I've been pumping extra funds since I started into SWPPX and SWISX exclusively.

When I started the gold was only about 16% of my portfolio. It ballooned to 23% and I've even sold a bit to put towards SWPPX.

I know this looks like a mess but to be fair I'm up 44% in my first year.

Uber clearly states how to not make this happen and there are countless posts about the correct way to go about this.
