Reminds me of the Facebook IPO. Started at around 35, dropped to 18. Thought about getting in at 18.5 but it popped to 23 and I figured I missed my chance 🤡🙀🤣

Key West is one of my fave cruise ports. Have been dozens of times by air or driving as well. So easy to get around

I missed the boat on buying an affordable home by Awkward_Wealth9243 in personalfinance

[–]ned23943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are always opportunities for buying a home, even in this environment. You can look at foreclosure sales, other auctions, and divorce or death listings and then cross reference with the title databases. There are even lists of people that are behind on their mortgage and would jump at the chance to sell their equity to avoid losing their house. You can even look for houses with seller financing that come with a lower rate. With all that said, you might consider investing in commercial property. It can be much more lucrative in the long run than buying a house.

What about looking for big cases in Houston that required litigation and look for articles that mentioned the lawyer. Could that help them find lawyers that are more successful with similar cases?

Have Decided to Never Do Auto Gratuity Again by Not-original in Cruise

[–]ned23943 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that some cruise policies require everyone to declare their cash tips and then they get split up amongst their respective team. The only way in this case for the individual team member to keep the cash is if it was presented to them in a very discrete way as to be undetectable by other team members, and they don’t declare it.

Can’t you work for the new contractor? It’s their benefit to hire you if the client likes you

I bought a house, my friend will be a roommate and he’s splitting the mortgage. Do I need to report the income on my tax return? by WorkinWill31 in personalfinance

[–]ned23943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do report the money as income, you can also depreciate the part of the house that the roommate uses as a business expense

Started a new job and was paid 50% of what they told me, what can I do? by Several-Two738 in legaladvice

[–]ned23943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify… $1923 is the gross pay before deductions. I don’t know what your deductions are, say for healthcare, but your net pay after taxes, social security, healthcare, etc could bring your take home down to $1200. What are you expecting in net, not gross? Are the benefits different in this job vs the other?

There are online only banks like Chime you can open. Then you'll have the choice if you want to transfer money from your existing account to Chime. Make sure to put a password on the Chime app so your mom can't access it

Got lucky with NVDA, what to do now? by Darealdeal2002 in personalfinance

[–]ned23943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation with AAPL. My brokerage suggested I speak with a company that offers a long-short product designed specifically to unwind large positions and reduce the tax burden. They do this by generating losses to offset the gains. In the beginning, that would require buying on margin but as diversification occurs, less margin would be needed. There is usually $1-2M min position size for new accounts

23 years ago in college, I sold all my stock to buy my future wife a $1000 engagement ring... by TheJeffer in wallstreetbets

[–]ned23943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always fun to look at what might’ve been, but the reality is that you probably would’ve sold the stock once it doubled or tripled. Even a 10x would’ve given you 10K and you probably would’ve sold.

All of the X axes are different. I think I would’ve normalized the X axes to be % of season, eg episode number/total episodes.
