How long did it take you to confirm you know what you’re doing?

I’ve been wheeling for 5 months with a small portion of my IRA as an experiment. Broadly speaking, I’ve generated roughly 25% return in the 5 months (NOT annualized) on that small portion, which I would consider success as it has exceeded SPY and QQQ gains over the window.

I acknowledge the last 5 months involved a huge bull move where one could just sell CSPs on anything and make money. I’m happy I was able to navigate the small downturn from the war and maintain the return. Got assigned a couple times but chose strikes that allowed me to be within reach of letting shares go.

With my return over 5 months in consideration, when would be a good time to increase my allocation for wheeling? I hope to someday perform the wheel on a larger, non-IRA account as a second income source. Thanks yall!

Edit for additional context: initial allocation for wheeling was about 25k, and amount has grown to roughly 31k

Halloween night in Seattle - appreciate recommendations from out of town

Hi there! Coming in from CA for 1 night for a friend's kid's 1st birthday during the day on Halloween, and my wife and I were hoping to explore fun Halloween events/gatherings in SEA during our night. We'll have a car and can get around so open to the general SEA area.

Things we enjoy, in no particular order: extravagant Halloween decorations, bar crawls, non-wild events (i.e. no raves), good food

Thank you!

Recommendations for a magician for adult's birthday party?

Hi all - hoping for recommendations for a magician for my wife's birthday party coming up. I've reached out to Amasingh and TopClass magic but was wondering if anyone had perosnal experiences with other magicians. Amasingh was recommended on other Reddit threads, whereas TopClass was recommended through a friend. Both also highly reviewed on Yelp.

I saw there were others but they exceed our budget quite a bit. Thank you!

Gardening noob and new homeowner here... how often should I be watering my trees?

Hi all! Just moved over to the Fair Oaks area, and frankly never had to take care of a yard before and could use some advice. The house came with an irrigation/drip system and I am wondering if anyone had tips on how to set my system up... for context:

  • Mainly trees, no grass - most temperamental tree is probably our Japanese maple
  • Direct sun exposure, especially the Japanese maple all afternoon

I'm currently doing every other day for ~20 mins around 10pm, and 25 mins for where the maple is... some people are saying I need to increase the frequency and/or go longer with the watering. So much advice it's hard to decipher what is truly helpful. Any help would be appreciated - thank you!
