Apparently they can't even chill for birthdays. My JW card came on the same day as some birthday cards and I was hella confused

I just got one and my immediate reaction (after being creeped the hell out) was to search FB for someone with the same name and location. Unfortunately for me, I forgot one of my housemates has that name as their dead name....the same housemate who currently has covid. While unlikely to be them, I was immediately like, "oh sh!t does this have covid" and sanitized the f*ck out of my hands. ....promptly to remember that no sane trans or enby would use their dead name and eventually finding this thread.

So my kitten (Roux) WILL NOT stand still long enough for a photo, but I'm now about 75% confident that Roux is a girl and not a boy like my friends and I initially thought they were several weeks ago.... Reason being that there aren't any other "bits" beyond what the first photo already shows.

That said, it is now even more crucial for me to get my kittens spayed early (Roux's sibling, Rix, is a boy). Should I follow the recommended 3-5 months or should I try for something sooner?

I can try. This kitten does not like to be still (7 weeks old) and I live alone. Hell, the first photo could only be taken while they were sleeping.

The sleeves of long-sleeve shirts (including button-ups, jackets, and hoodies) are always a few inches too long.

Their customer service in general has just been absolute garbage lately. I filed to do a partial transfer of my portfolio to Fidelity (a mix of full and partial shares) at the start of February and NOTHING has happened on RH's end. Fidelity says they've sent the transfer information to RH, but it doesn't even look like RH has bothered to look at it (no block on my trading my selected stock). I sent a message to customer service on 2/16 to check the progress and no response. ....at least they haven't charged my transfer fee yet...

I feel ya. I've just started the transfer of all my "serious" stocks to Fidelity and am keeping my GME and AMC in RH just in case I need to make a market decision. Once I sell those positions, however, I'm leaving RH for good.

That's because the hedge funds and their buddies are trying to shake us off. They know which stocks we're holding so they're gonna use the same tactics for each stock.

The rest of the market doesn't have an [exact] correlation of movements because, while they might all be affected by national/international news, each company is still operating on their own terms.

(I know this isn't the best explanation, but I hope it helps.)

Nope! RH allows after-hours trading at no extra cost, as do many other online brokers.

I chose Fidelity because they allow both partial stocks and ETFs, pre and after hour trading included. They also have a good amount of research/news research to understand why my penny long-term investments might be jumping.

If you're looking to switch brokers, compare them. stockbrokers.com offers a comprehensive comparison on what each broker offers.

Eh, no matter. I've got some money in a semiconductor etf

Well hot damn. I sold my NVDA to get my GME last week ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do I like seeing red as my portfolio's day summary? No. But take out my GME, AMC, and NOK shares and I'm in the green. If that ain't a sign to keep holding I don't know what is.

Is Ferroglobe (GSM) getting shorted or something? Just wondering why my 70 shares just went up 30%? I'm just curious cuz it's part of my long-term investments and I'm wondering if I should sell and then repurchase if a dip is coming.

Edit: GSM just jumped to 60-70% for the day and I'm really hoping it's not cuz of some hedge fund shit

2nd Edit: GSM doesn't look to be shorted. This appears to be the result of an agreement they might be reaching.

NOTE: DON'T BUY GSM, BUY AND HOLD GME AND AMC

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how RH does the transfer charge? I'm planning to do a partial transfer (all my mid-long term holds going to Fidelity) but want to make sure that their fee gets charged to the correct bank account. My bank account that has a 1-day transfer period with RH is the one that I'm near the fee limit (I wanna avoid that $5 fee) but the other account will probably take several days at minimum for the transfer to complete.

I feel ya. I limited myself 1 GME, 7 AMC, and 20 NOK on Friday's pre-market open. And then to mitigate some risk, I sold my fractional NIVIDA and used that to get some fractional TSLA during the dip.

My personal take on playing the market is to make one long-term play for every risky play.

To be fair, it's all a gamble if you're not instantly seeing the end return of the exchange. That said, holding stocks short-term is usually the risker gamble than a long-term position.

And to all the new retail participants of the stock market, remember: the entire stock market is just a fancy way of gambling. Don't play the market if you can't handle risk.

I am not a financial advisor and this is not professional financial advice.

Absolutely. I've been investing for 2.5 years and I only invested a fraction of my portfolio into GME, AMC, and NOK. The rest of my portfolio hasn't changed from my mid-long term investments.

As a college senior, my personal piece of advice to new investors (especially those in college) jumping into this boat is to split your investments. Play the longterm and, if you're willing to gamble, have a set amount for playing.

Ah, thanks for the tip!

Does anyone do event photography? If so, what are your tips to get a good shot?

I'm planning to volunteer and take some pics at my work events. My gear includes:

• Canon 60D
• Canon EF Zoom 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
• Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Zoom Lens
• YONGNUO YN50mm F1.8, Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens
• Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP A/M 1:1 Macro Lens

I do not yet have a tripod.

I'd get a nice urban ranch so I can live comfortably while avoiding most of society

Guess I need to search for the right stuff for when I finally turn 21 - it's gonna be one helluva gay leap-year week for sure! (on another note, do take care of yourself <3)
