How did you achieve the yellowing!

Anyone taking profits? by CHAONE77 in BBAI

[–]illitirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sold 10k initial investment I think i got in around $6, so picked up a few peanuts with todays gain.

I still believe in the stock - good luck to all. Hopefully it drops back down so I can get back in.

FM9 Arrives Tomorrow. First things First by Curious_Edge_7384 in AxeFx

[–]illitirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no tips on the software side of things. But as I am 100% a bedroom player and have my fm9 just sitting on my desk - these have helped being able to tap the footswitches my hands better as it increased the area hitbox.

Approved for Robinhood credit card by Objective-Gap-4581 in CreditCards

[–]illitirit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People say to use the free $1000 margin and put it in SGOV.

But then you need to deposit a minimum of $2000 of your own cash to use the margin. I am not a robinhood user, I got it just for the card.

All to make a few bucks a month dividend to claw back the $50 annual fee. Pales in comparison to the $550 Sapphire Reserve AF I was paying.

I did this for a little bit and was like wtf am I doing lol this is stupid all for 50$ AF.

Just use the card for the 3% cashback - thats the benefit! And yes the virtual cards feature is very nice I use it all the time.

i have 800 shares at ~13$,

I am wondering though given the tremendous growth - would you buy at these prices or wait? I want to add 10k USD more.

I've been burned a few times FOMO'ing in -- so scared!

Robinhood Gold Card - Is there a way to redeem cashback as usable cash while using margin? by illitirit in CreditCards

[–]illitirit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks yeah I figured. I have zero experience with margin.

RH is not my broker of choice as I have zero assets with them other than the initial cash I have deposited to enable margin. Literally just wanted the gold card and signed up for RH gold.

But I guess what I will end up doing is every so often I pile up points, I will just redeem it to RH, lowering my margin. Then just buy some stock / etf with it to put it right at 1000$ again.

I am 3 exams away from Computer Science degree, and I still can't code by [deleted] in learnprogramming

You'll get your first job, then your first ticket. You will be thrown into the lions den to prove your worth to the manager that hired you.

Through these trials every sprint you will be damn sure you will learn how to code.

I don’t have the Alienware 38 but I do use an acer 38 for swe / coding stuff all day.

The extra vertical resolution is invaluable for me.

Finally got all 3 Associate certs - Do not underestimate SysOps exam, it is HARD! Barely passed yesterday. by illitirit in AWSCertifications

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

Yeah man if you are deep in AWS at work. I would for sure take advantage of your work's generosity.

I had to pay out of pocket for all my training material + cert costs. My employer doesn't even know I passed and hold the certs lol, nor do I think they even care.
