    Was looking around for some deals and noticed TDOC is down around $100 now. I sold back in July at $156 for minimal profit, what happened to bring it down so far?

    How is KD trading around $18 not criminal? I get that it's old tech spun off from old tech but dat p/b. I'm loading up.

    Anyone planning on buying into this? Or waiting to see if it drops more? Anything in particular you’re looking at?

    Whenever the Senate decides to move/do anything with the BBB bill. Since it’s shelved for the time being, all signs point to having the back door Roth still in 2022; if they do something related to tax reform next year, it would be difficult to include that provision but make it apply retroactively to 1/1/22 since many people will max out their IRA at the start of the year

    With Manchin pretty much killing the BBB, guess I'll keep doing my mega backdoor roth contributions over taxable for the foreseeable future.

    As it notes this is up to 12/17 but really interesting to see the churn underneath the surface for the indexes, Mega caps are essentially keeping them a float at the moment.

    I feel like in 2022 the best strategy will be to sell options against shares or to sell cash secured puts. I've been selling calls against my shares of TQQQ and UPRO and I've been able to get 1-3% on weeklies. The market could be ultimately much more flat and we can still make crazy money.

    I'm in TQQQ at 138 and I first sold $150c for $8.00, then rolled a week for 4.50, 2.00, 5.00. After this week im rolling again and I expect another 4 or 5.

    If its a flat year that would be amazing to keep this going

    That was my first real strategy. Since the market takes the stairs up and the elevator down sometimes, I got burned a few times. A lot of work for not much profit over holding

    I’m about to over contribute to my 401k. Salary has changed a few times this year and I’ve made adjustments each time to keep it on track but when the salary changes hit vs when the adjustments apply ended up with my 2nd to last paycheck of the year taking me to and slightly over the max and the last taking all being over.

    I’ve scoured my plan literature and I can’t find what our plan does. My hope is that it automatically changes to after tax contributions. I guess worst case scenario my last paycheck doesn’t contribute and I miss one week of company match (we get paid weekly.)

    I think most payroll systems will just cap the contribution when you hit the max.
