    Ughhhhhhhhhhh no no no never do it that way. That is rough.

    Pull all $ from external account (I love Ally's account linking capability, I just pull it all in to there), once requirements have been met, pull all $, once balance is zero, close out account via chat.

    link is out there but maybe letan has a referral link

    I did the Chase $900 bonus in 2024. Can't believe it's still out there. Wonder if I can do it again now

    it was an email I received and said it was valid until April but the links aren’t working any more. Hope they didn’t take it back. Also says you can bring the email into a branch office. Looks like it may be targeted at existing Chase customers as I have the sapphire

    Didn’t the $900 require a business checking account too? I cannot believe it was a straight up consumer account unless the holdings had to be super high.

    Ah now I remember I did the $300 component but didn’t wanna lock my money up in the savings account. Didn’t look into what it was returning since I’ve just had those funds in money market accounts anyways.

    In 2022 I was working with a customer and I’d go their tech center weekly. Every time I’d show up a few minutes early and the security guard loved to talk my ear off bc he owned a lot of stock in my employer and we’d done quite well recently.

    He also wouldn’t shut up about Palantir and I always just internally rolled my eyes and said “hope it works out for you”. I should’ve listened!

    I work for a well known SaaS company and my last employer was #crm so due to RSUs, my two by far largest holdings are tied to these companies so I've lost a lot money the last month

    On a day like today I am reminded why I just plow $ into s&p ETFs and only own one individual stock: Apple

    with that being said some of these tech discounts are beginning to look pretty appealing.

    Hold, depending on your goals for the account.

    If you don’t want to be overweight in tech, then buy some stuff that isn’t tech.

    If you don’t plan on withdrawing from the brokerage until retirement, who cares. If you may need access to liquidity from the account in the near term then diversify.

    Actually think my IRA is a bit too diversified and my Taxable brokerage is too growth heavy. Need to rebalance a bit. Just bought some AMD shares in the ira and turned on small daily recurring for the time being.

    Man, to each their own, and no judgement, but just reading about individual stocks has me feeling anxious. This just further reinforces me 100% of the time buying index funds and turning on autopilot. FWIW, 80/20 US/ex-US split between all retirement accounts, 100% IVV for my brokerage account, and 63/30/7 US/ex-US/real estate split in my 529s.

    I don’t think anyone is advocating long shots in their retirement account. But given the amount of time between now and when most itt are retiring there are opportunities to buy more volatile stocks then VTI/VT/VOO and get a better return. Obviously that is no guarantee. And again no one is saying to go full Wall Street bets and put your entire retirement account balance on options. FWIW most of my retirement account is in fairly broad ETFs, but having like 20% in individual stocks isn’t too scary as long as they are “real”’companies. To each their own though.

    Agree. That was just me thinking out loud. It was more a statement of my own risk tolerance than telling anyone else what to do.

    Should also note that these are based on Robinhood 24 hour trading.

    for example on RH PLTM trading at $20 right now. It closed in after hours trading at $21.28.

    The mining stocks could absorb a lot of downside in the metals prices and still not be overvalued. :twocents:

    Start with a piece there and pick up the metals on dips

    If you are playing the debasement thesis the trendline is not broken.

    I did buy a bunch of fintech stocks today + a little more AMD.

    Also saw that the Pelosis sold 10k DIS stocks and moved money into AB. I did the same because DIS hasn’t been doing much for me and I figure allocating some money to Pelosi trades will probably work out.
