Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you fairly well aged?

I imagine the later in life you are, the more you've accumulated, the more you have invested, the higher the gains you'll see during market upswings, etc.

Kindof my point. Saying I am up $XX is kindof meaningless.

My buddy is up over 20mil, started with 200k since March. Day trading full time and makes very risky plays. High risk, high reward I guess. I don’t have a stomach for moves like that.

Been a while since I posted here. It's been a crazy ride and what I will say is that for every winner in the short term stock market gain there are hundreds of losers. If I exited every position I have in the morning I am up 26% since April but there was a point when I was up 220%. Should have bailed out then. I am slowly exiting out and plan to do so until I am out of all short term trades in my TDA account. All my long term retirement money is in a 401k and that will remain. Manually trading stocks is a complete crap shoot for me. Been entertaining though but as I get busier with the job that pays the bills I have less time to spend waiting on and watching stocks looking for an exit.

Doesn't sound like it's a worthwhile value proposition but I'll give your buddy 50K and enter into a contract with him for half the returns, I'll take 100% of the risk too. Some kind of proof of prior returns would be required.

Anyone going in on DoorDash for tomorrow’s IPO? What about Airbnb?

My employer was paying a 12.5% match (if I put in 5%) up until July. Because of COVID, they dropped the match for everyone who survived the ~14% staff layoff the month before.....

Probably 85% match up to like 3% of your contribution or some bullshit lol. No company matches 85% to the max IRS limit, and I'm almost positive unless he proves me wrong. I know since I work for one of the companies who has the highest known 401k match in the country, for every dollar you put in till max.

[BzsBimmer]

Well I’m at 100% match... of the first 5% lol

This proves my point above that I just made lol.

[IllSic_Design]

Lol bravo then, excellent troll post

[BzsBimmer]

Maybe they meant that they contribute 85% of their salary to their 401k contribution?

Are they above the 12.5% contribution that I was getting if I put in 5%? Just curious about how our pre-COVID rate compares against the alleged top match in the country, in case I need to re-negotiate once COVID is over.....

Don't get ahead of yourself - that said 85% of ELIGIBLE compensation. Not 85% of your salary.

Your eligible compensation could be 2% or 3% or something low like that. How about you prove that component too!

[mbanks21]

I deleted my pics fyi, here's the glassdoor link proving it's 85% of contributions. I've also worked here for a decade so I'm aware of the rules.

Without getting into where I work I'll say its over 40%, dollar for dollar up to the max IRS limit. Your company let's you negotiate this?
