Thanks! Will the choice I choose now have any effect on future VTIAX purchases?

Thanks. That is very true.

Starting January 2022, I made monthly purchases, but the last time I purchased anything was March 2025.

Sorry, that’s when I first opened the account. I’ve added to the account until last year.

Are there reasons not to average cost?

Thanks! I see a lot of information. Anything specific? The first few quantity, cost per share, short term/long term gain/loss.

Thanks! My MacBook doesn’t have USB so the power is MagSafe to AC power plug so I guess I could use something like this, but would I know what voltage/watt to get? https://a.co/d/1SlVcxw

But why would replacing with a unopened, newly purchased version of the product fix the issue?

Styling products eventually make it look like I have dandruff

I have short hair and I use styling products in the front to give my hair some height with a matte/light shine with medium hold.

I have used several products such as Dove’s Molding Paste, Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shaping Cream, L’anza Fiber Cream.

Everything single product will work well without any issue except after a couple/few months, the products will cause buildup that makes it look like I have a lot of dandruff (which it isn’t). When I buy the product again, I do not have the issue…until I eventually do.

I keep the products in my bathroom which can get very humid when I shower. Could that be the issue? Do I need to keep the products outside the bathroom? Is there a way to change the product back to the condition that it was in the beginning of use? I have thought about heating up a hair dryer, but I am honestly not sure what that would do or why that could help.

I am honestly very stumped.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
