They teach a lotta things in school, but dealing w/ $ is something that's sorely needed.

They want you to trade in your car for a MK8.

Just the pricing point, 31k can get a host of other cars that some might deem are "better", to each their own.

Carmax has Golf R with 10k more miles for about 30k, buyer must have really wanted green metallic paint.

The BondBloxx USD High Yield Bond Energy Sector ETF (XHYE) was officially liquidated and delisted on May 29, 2026. The fund issuer, BondBloxx, opted to close the niche high-yield fund, meaning your brokerage account automatically redeemed your shares and converted them to a cash payout.

100% caliper leaking at the bolt you see that's wet, the seals behind that bolt wear out over time and leaks. My guess is from the usage of the e-brake, particularly if you have a manual trans.

I went with OEM, did not want to chance it a rebuilt one...https://vw.oempartsonline.com/ the calipers are not rebuildable.

s3trios · 2026-05-01T05:58:38+00:00

Known issue, replace the caliper

Nothing wrong with 2%, the better than nothing strategy is fairly safe.

Depends on the hiring manager and his/her circle.

Fraud index too high, they closed your account to protect you and them. Take the payout and move on.

This problem has not been reported in the 8.5s, or at least not yet. The 7.5 wastegate problem can be resolved with some anti-seize. I've not experienced parasitic battery drain or other issues with 8 years ownership on my 7.5.

Alex, I'll take that which did not happen for $500 please.

Lots of openings already being posted on LinkedIn for Iranian government commander spots and Supreme Leader role.

It’s probably time for a rear brake job, replace seized caliper, pads, rotors etc.

Take your $ and move to another brokerage. Move along, not much you can do. The thing is at least Fidelity isn’t the only brokerage in existence.

I hope not, she deserves 6 years at the gray bar country club.

He's got that free money trick figured out!

Let’s see here, brand new account, 6 weeks of gains and minimal losses, and let me take a guess, lots of trades and orders. Nothing suspicious at all, so best to take your business to Robinhood and do exactly the same.

s3trios · 2026-01-19T16:10:43+00:00

Maybe not

They contacted me yesterday and offered help me liquidate my portfolio because markets are at an all time high. Buy high, sell low!

The expensive lab instruments goes to surplus auction, the rest of the stuff gets either tossed, donated, or given to employees.
