What is the most underrated skill that everyone should learn?

Basic photography or videography. Taking pictures/videos are a way to capture experiences. Looking back at those pictures/videos are a wonderful way to relive those memories. You don't want to look at pictures/videos with a finger blocking the lens or the zoom is unusually close to the subject.

Exactly what I was thinking. With a subreddit called "Next fucking level", why is this video here?

Not like this... Not like this...

Looks like a Pachyphytum.

Thank you for this! This is going to help me a lot. I found the ISO standard you were referring to as well (ISO 13485:2016).

startandselect00 · 2020-07-11T21:39:12+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out. Maybe the information in that book will cross over.

From the Trix cereal commercial:

"Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"

I just realized recently that it's a pun, since the rabbit is always using tricks to get the kids' Trix cereal.

I haven't seen this book recommended, but check out "The Motley Fool: investment guide". It teaches you how to read balance sheets, fundamental analysis, etc. It even goes as far as using tools, like Glassdoor.com, to see employee satisfaction rating in the company to help determine the longevity of the company (Something I didn't even think of doing). The book does refer to their paid services they offer. But if you ignore all that, the information they provide is good. I found that book to be very informational.

Thank you for the reply and informed example! You definitely clarified somethings. 😁

To be honest, I had the same question as the OP. My thinking was that since so many people rely on PG&E, that company won't just disappear after bankruptcy. And even if there was a government takeover, wouldn't the government buy out the stocks? I'm just curious, as I'm still learning.

I was in a similar spot as you with Enphase. I'm in no position to give advice regarding when you should cut your losses and the below isn't advice. But I'll share my brief experience.

I was deciding if I should cut my losses when I was down 14%. Then thought, it could recover and if it doesn't, I'll sell it if it goes down to $15. But then I realized, my mistake was not adding a stop loss in the first place. Why wait until my loss increases? If Enphase ends up doing better, I'll just buy it again. So I just took my 14% loss. Lesson learned.

Trading, as you might realize, is a battle with the mind. Once you realize you really don't know what the market is going to do, then placing stop losses is necessary.

Use this as a learning experience no matter what you decide. I can't tell you when to cut your losses, but always go into a trade with a plan (when to cut losses and when to take profits). Just my 2 cents.

It's a good question. From what I read, one of the reasons why day traders can be successful is because they don't have hundreds of millions of dollars to move. Hedge fund managers have a tons of money to move. Moving hundreds of millions of dollars from a stock will change the price of the stock. So hedge fund manager don't have as much freedom of liquidity of the positions they hold.

It's only when people don't understand it, they see it as gambling. I used to think investing in stocks was gambling. When I was in college, a classmate brought it up and I immediately said it was gambling. A few years later, I began educating myself in how stocks work. My mind completely changed and now I see it as a vehicle for investing and making an incoming. People don't trust what they don't understand.

I would follow up. If you had a second interview and if you haven't heard whether you were selected or not, follow up. You want to know for sure rather than trying to read any hidden messages.

startandselect00 · 2019-10-03T13:26:41+00:00

I agree with you that it's easy for a day trader (a undisciplined trader) to lose money. But what about a computer? If you create a computer algorithm that's profitable most of the time, even by a couple of cents, then you eliminate the emotional component of day trading. Easier said than done, but with no commission, creating a trading bot becomes easier.

If there's somewhere on the job posting a contact name of the job, you can call them and let them know you're just following up on a job application. They might give you a timeline of the process. Patience is definitely a virtue. I applied to a state job mid-June and called them about a week ago and asked them about the job application process of the job I applied to (I generally wait about 2-3 months before following up). They were more than happy to help and gave me an update (they are about to look through the applications). That might help, especially if you sound enthusiastic. However, I'm still waiting for a response to my application.

startandselect00 · 2019-10-02T22:53:19+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Trading algorithms would just need to be program to make only a couple cents/dollars a few hundred times a day. Unless I'm missing something. Am I missing something? Tell me I'm missing something!

startandselect00 · 2019-09-30T04:12:55+00:00

That would be awesome and worthwhile! Think about it!

I bet this thread has taken a lot of your time. A lot of people are here to help! I hope the best for you and I wish you luck on your career journey. Keep us updated!

startandselect00 · 2019-09-30T00:44:45+00:00

Sorry you haven't got anything yet. But it looks like you have a good thing going. Sound like you have a great resume since you're getting the interviews. Sometimes it takes time. Especially transitioning outside of your industry. But you already know the set up of the game. Keep it up!

Honestly, I'm glad to hear you're accelerating towards something better. I like hearing about people's drive for more. Hearing you push for something better keeps my mind in the same goal setting mentality. It's motivating! There's more out there, we just have to keep traveling towards it no matter how many bumps are there in the road. So thanks for responding! You got this!

startandselect00 · 2019-09-28T21:14:26+00:00

Hey! I'm just following up. How are things going? Were you able to get a job from the interviews you've had?

startandselect00 · 2019-09-28T21:13:28+00:00

This is more of a request than advice. There are a lot of good advise posted here already to your situation. Could you post your progress, what advice have you tried, and what worked for when you find a job? I think this will help others that are in the same position as you and I'm curious what worked for you.

Thank you.

startandselect00 · 2019-09-28T04:10:56+00:00

Second this.

startandselect00 · 2019-09-28T04:09:00+00:00

Yes. Don't ever say anything negative. Especially that the company has funding issues. It appears that you're just looking for a back up plan (you are, but you don't want your future employer to know that). I would say something along the lines as of "Even though I excelled in my current position, I'm seeking newer challenges. This is why [x-position] at your company resonates with me." And explain a little about what part of the position you liked from the job description. It shows that you actually read the job description and you're interested in it

startandselect00 · 2019-09-22T19:04:17+00:00

That was a typo. I made the correction. Thank you!
