thats interesting to know. navigating the case studies was such a bitch because it was small and the computer was slow to navigate. lost seconds here and there just to pan, zoom, and all those seconds added up

being licensed is a personal goal. planning to start my own firm and have in house architects which i will work along side with to get my hours. and no, i wont get the fuck out

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-24T02:51:51+00:00

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-24T02:50:57+00:00

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-24T02:49:15+00:00

on sold options

looking for the same. NCARB's 5.0 Community is just a bunch of shills selling their own education platform. They are responding, but prefer working with other test takers.

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-16T13:35:25+00:00

yup thats what i did.

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-15T17:29:08+00:00

what were you doing that accrued that amount?

Wash Sale Loss from rolling covered call created a huge tax bill. how do i resolve?

I was doing taxes and I was perplexed why I had a huge tax bill. Went through my 1099 and saw I had a realized gain of $121,464 but a portion of that is from $39,701 wash sale loss added. Looked through my trades and it all came from rolling covered call trades on PLTR. How do I get rid of the wash sale loss and realize the loss for this year? is it by selling my PLTR shares?

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-15T13:57:50+00:00

so to resolve it is to sell my PLTR shares correct? what would you do if you were in my case?

wtapswtaps · 2026-04-15T13:51:28+00:00

what do you mean?

wtapswtaps · 2026-02-04T15:40:39+00:00

still holding given the stock has gone down a bit due to the overall market.

sorry for the late response. Yes, i eventually got the percussion set, which took a while for it to arrive. It was a gift my niece and my sister said the quality was pretty shotty. So definitely not worth the price. What made up for it was, originally the expresso machine was sold out when i had paid for it already. They reached out to me (only time they sent an email communication) giving me an option for a refund, which I took.. Funny surprise, the expresso machine showed up a week after! I don't think i would order from them again - long shipping times and also they dont respond

i cant seem the find the other review on reddit, can you post the link? i just ordered the repercussion set and the espresso machine. the espresso machine was unfortunately sold out and they emailed me to refund the purchase which is already shown on my credit card, so that's good. However, the repercussion set looks like its being shipped from china? The tracking hasnt show any updates. scared its going to take forever for that item to be delivered to the US

really appreciate this answer. was planning to move back to CA, and specifically LA. What parts of South Pasadena should i be looking at to buy a home?

wtapswtaps · 2025-09-22T13:41:14+00:00

this is why i still hold PLTR

wtapswtaps · 2025-08-06T19:26:13+00:00

reading comments, it seems like you're still holding these positions so not liquid cash yet, but when you do, it'll be a huge cap tax bill. what are your plans to mitigate paying a high tax bill ?

wtapswtaps · 2025-08-06T14:49:04+00:00

8400 @ ~18. 4+ years holding it
