Experienced analyst’s next steps

I have been in the workforce some 25 years working extensively with sql in different roles and dabbling in a few other tools such as tableau

I am currently taking time off from work and contemplating completing a course/degree/certification in some sort of data analytics or data science as one last hurrah.

What would you recommend if I don’t want to commit too much time and money? If things go my way I would work as a data science professional for 5 more years before hanging it up

Choosing 13u team

For next year kid has been accepted to slightly higher level team than previous years but not quite AAA. He probably could make a legit AAA team but should he choose to keep semi stud status on the first mentioned team or roll dice and potentially be a middle of the lineup or even bottom half of the lineup kid on AAA?

What’s most important obviously is reps and development under good coaching. But with his playing window potentially closing in a year or two is finding out how well he can compete at the highest level and being on a higher skilled team that can compete and win.

Hail damaged roof replacement at no cost to owner

Several companies have come by saying they can inspect my roof for hail damage similar to my neighbors and once approved they will replace it at no cost to me. They have good reviews and no neighbors have complained yet. I have seen them replace a few roofs on my street.

Is this legit?

Also they said my insurance premium is even likely to go down due to the high quality materials they would use. Is this true? Is there any chance it can go up

13.5 yo with bone age 16 - potential growth by slowing down growth plate closure

I am waiting to take son to endo but anxiously have been doing online research. Kid’s height growth velocity slowed down significantly (90th percentile down to 70th in 9 months) so took him in, and was informed of advanced bone age.

Hormone levels are normal so I assume growth hormones won’t be prescribed. But if he goes on inhibitors, what kind of growth can he realistically see? Will it be immediate? How long could he expect to be on the meds?

Fee comparison - IB vs TOS

For people familiar with both, what can I expect to pay for the following

3,000 monthly trades
Straight stocks - long and short
$10k average buy/sell amount

I have been using TOS for the first few months of trading due to their no commission and intuitive interface but I still pay some fees - around 20 cents per round trip. I have found order fills to be slow.

Was it a fluke

I paper traded for a good two months with decent results - 60% win rate, profitable on 65% of the days

Went live and was profitable 6 of the first 9 days. Then came Friday. While some of the stocks tanked double digits over the course of the day I still lost on them and by days end I gave up all my previous profits and then some. Were my 6 winning days a fluke?

I picked perhaps the worst stock to trade - mrvl. Its volatile price movements were hard to track. I should’ve avoided it after the first two losing trades. I should’ve ended the day when I hit my daily loss limit. I abandoned the rules I made for myself

TOS system issues today

Market orders weren’t going through. It processed multiple orders in a single batch. Position size was 6x what it was supposed to be

They resolved and fixed my positions but still not a good feeling

Is this common?

Can’t fix sagging door for the life of me

I’ve tried tightening the top hinge and putting in cardboard behind the bottom hinge. I’ve even used pliers to pull the 1, 3, and 5 top hinge sections towards the door but the gap in the top left of the door seems to have gotten worse. Are there any sure solutions?
