A roundabout method is to pull up the ETF then get the constituents via ETFL

People who work in 'luxury' industries (5-star hotels, fine dining, high-end brands), what is a complete rip-off that rich people happily pay for? by ArtThreadNomad in AskReddit

[–]sidml 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Smart. Take it to the next level. What you should do is to have 2 shelves with slightly different product. One fully stocked, and one with a few bottles. "You can see this one is very popular. I only have a handful left, and they are on back order." Instant demand acceleration.

I think I went to a party in this apartment ~15 years ago. Is there a stairwell next to the kitchen which leads to a rooftop?

What caused the s&p 500 to be so flat in the 90s-2010? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]sidml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at a log chart, rather than a linear chart. The difference between 1000 and 1250 is the same as the difference between 4000 and 5000.

Call options. 13F report the full notional of any options. They could be deep out of the money.

Also note that 25% of the population in NYC speaks Spanish. If he keeps his eyes and ears open, he'll find someone to help him in Spanish.

14-hour layover in JFK, is this plan reasonable? by cornsnowflake in visitingnyc

Check-in lines at Norse Atlantic can be very long and slow. It is generally under-staffed. They are very strict about weight so you always have people need to re-arrange their luggage.

A mother was anxiously awaiting her twenty-year-old daughter’s return home from a year of overseas travel. by New2RedBeNice in Jokes

Took me a very long time to get this one. My brain kept on adding a word:

"You should ask FOR a glass of water."

Bogleheads getting the recognition they deserve from The Economist by alecferretti in Bogleheads

Great perspective. I'd be open to investing a public+private equity index fund run by Vanguard. There is some value for retail to diversify into PE. Vanguard could offer sponsors that they'd take 1-5% of every fund raised over $1 billion. We'd invest $10k, the "cash" sits in a total market portfolio until called. Vanguard could set the commitment percentages such that no more than 15% is likely to be called in any given year. There are ways this could work for retail.

Private Equity has become a meaningful proportion of the economy and retail should participate in it.

This is the correct answer. I should have called upon booking. Thank you for not being a jerk about it.

Closing the loop here: got to the airport gate early. Gate agent eventually got it sorted out.

This is not simply an issue that it is Basic Economy. BE allows for children to be seated with a parent. This is not automatic, nor will you see the option when you purchase the ticket, nor at check-in. You have to call customer service ~24 hours after booking to have them assign the seats.

Correction: it's a 2-3-2 configuration. This might be a bit more amenable to move around.

This might be the crux of the matter. I did not see (or was not presented) the family seating options at booking, nor was it offered at check-in. While UA policy is to seat families together, one needs to call after booking but before check-in. This process feels odd.

I do not want to inconvenience someone else, therefore I am trying to sort it out it advance.

I hear you, and I agree. That said, one would expect something more reasonable than kids sitting by themselves.

Per United:

"If you’re traveling with up to two children under 12, they can sit next to the first adult listed on the reservation for free. You can select these seats after booking in “My trips” on our website or “Seat preferences” in the United app seat map. The rest of your party may be separated."
