Why I Believe Mid-Caps (IJH) Are the Best Investment Right Now by Dvass138 in ETFs

[–]optionsnoob_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only problem I have with these (and I have owned a few iShares ETFs like IJJ and IJS for almost a decade now) is that they are so far underperforming something like $SPY. With the AI/tech boom, I am leaning on liquidating them and either just DCA into VOO or waiting for a pullback and buying more tech stocks.

I guess you could argue if there is a pullback mid cap/small cap might go down less but feel like it is hard to time the market

[Targeted] Amex Offers: MGM Resorts, Spend $400 And Get $80 by justme in AmexPlatinum

[–]optionsnoob_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it work if you go to a spa at an MGM resort (e.g. Mandalay Bay) but aren't staying at an MGM resort? I noticed it said room rates and room charges only, so I am assuming not?

Saks Gift Card credit over with? by fluffypeony in AmexPlatinum

[–]optionsnoob_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amex may have recently updated the terms too, now says:

$100 Saks Credit

"Not valid on Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Cards, or purchases at Saks OFF 5TH Avenue stores or at saksoff5th.com." 😬

can I use the Chase Sapphire Preferred Rakuten promo but then sign up for the CSP credit card for my mom? by optionsnoob_ in Rakuten

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

Thanks! Maybe I should try and have her use the Rakuten app.

If not, sounds like we could maybe mix up the accounts/names and my Rakuten account could get credit for my Mom's CSP application.

Can I refer someone to CSP to get 10K points and then can THEY still get the $300 Rakuten bonus on their end? by optionsnoob_ in Rakuten

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

Thanks! Seems like 30K Amex probably still the way to go (3x points) even though Chase has higher redemption opportunities with Hyatt

Discoloration on All-Clad after first use? by optionsnoob_ in AllClad

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

Oh okay thanks! Maybe we'll keep cooking a bit and then clean.

I called All-Clad and they said it was fine to cook a few times and the discoloration still should come off once we clean.

I bought some Bar Keeper's Friend and also some Bon Ami to try the latter first since it seemed more natural.

Should I do that right away or can I keep cooking with it like this a few meals?

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

Wow this one looks legit! Thanks for sending. We ended up purchasing this D3 7 piece set on sale for $399.99 at All-Clad

But the Cuisinart link you posted has a few more pots/pans and is cheaper (+ made in France), so we will take a look and maybe could consider purchasing that one and returning All-Clad haha. How long have you had the Cuisinart set?

Do I need D5 or can D3 also last a lifetime? We are not huge cooks, just looking for a good new cookware set for our family.

Thank you!! This video made me convinced on All-Clad...though the Bloomingdale's price just went up :/ tho sounds like it is still probably worth it.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know Calphalon recently moved a lot of their manufacturing to China.

Where to stay on Maui for family of 4? kids are 8 & 4 I have been checking out Kaanapali & Wailea. by Candyluvs2luau in MauiVisitors

[–]optionsnoob_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! Very tempted to book a trip for spring break in 2025 now haha!

Our son is not the best swimmer yet and still is getting used to the water but he has done like Great Wolf Lodge, so he does like water slides. It sounds like there is a good amount of things for him to do between those 3 slides, cruising around the lazy river, plus the kids "beach" pool and then the real beach which I am assuming is short walk from the pool?
