Scared LEAP Virgin

First time LEAP buyer. Been watching this and the $600 strike for a week. Seems like there’s been good price action and finally decided to buy today. Down 7% since the buy but hoping MSFT doesn’t get slaughtered this month after the nice gains so I can get out for +20-30%. Does the inclination go to paper hands ever go away?

ABC form check

Been working abc for a few months. Think I’m ready to go up in weight from 16kg to 24. Hell of a workout - 15 rounds EMOM 2x/week with pushups, swings, squats, farmer carries 1x. Then flip the next week.

Yet another person asking for advice

Late to the game. 35M, married, children. Have about $17k in vanguard Roth and trying my best to get more aggressive about investing for the future. Currently have Vanguard robo-advisor putting me in the following funds (which I’ve been in for years.) Is it worth taking off the robot and just doing 100% VTI or VXUS?

Late Bloomer Questions

35M, married, two kids. Finally hitting my stride professionally and trying to grow savings and retirement options. Fortunate enough to be in a public pension (so long as it holds out,) Roth IRA (not fully funded,) and a small trust I’ll inherit upon my parents’ passing.

Starting to throw odds and ends into VOO, SCHD, and JEPQ to grow a dividend portfolio in a RH brokerage after setting aside money in savings for the kids monthly. I’m not a “check the market everyday” kind of guy. Based on doing some reading over the past several months, these 3 seem to be highly recommended here and just broadly as solid dividend options. While I have an appointment with a CFP in the coming months, I just want to walk in prepared and not look like a total schmuck. Will these three be enough as long as I’m consistent with DRIP/contributions as I’m able?

Might be the most capable Casio I own

Got this one on clearance at Walmart and oddly feels sturdier (or at least as sturdy) as my DW5600. My kids and I have definitely put it through its paces enough to warrant putting on a nato and getting a spot in the regular rotation.

What are the odds this is legit?

I’ve always wanted this one and got lucky with my DW5600 on Amazon a few years ago. But I know counterfeits are all over the place on Amazon - especially for models that are no longer in production. Ships from a Japanese store so that gives me some hope. Thoughts?

Tough little bugger

The f91 survived an outdoor workout in SC. Forgot to swap out for my g shock and I’m impressed by this little guy.

Need some help

Have a cube xx with an SD I got from a seller on Etsy that was running Knulli and was excellent. Played right out of the box. I admittedly haven’t touched the device in a year since having another child, but now only the stock cards work. Any ideas on how I can get the card I bought working again?

A gem

Truly did not expect to enjoy this watch as much as I do. I understand the hype now.

A surprisingly fun pickup

Grabbed one of these for $13 at Walmart last week. Didn’t think I’d be that into it but it’s been on my wrist almost exclusively for the last several days. Super lightweight and the backlight is pretty stellar for what it is.

Wally World haul

The local Walmart is usually dry as a bone but I got lucky today.
