Hello

Why buy Walmart

is it really taht good of an investment(

#

nah

#

not for short term

but its good to hold for long term storage

#

like small gains over time

#

Wouldn’t you rather just throw your money into VOO instead?

#

like does Walmart really beat our VOO long term

#

Yeah that’s why I feel like Walmart is just bad

I have like 2-3k in both VOO and SPY

I got 3k on VOO/SPY (1.5k each) 3k in other more niche ETFs (Tech, Renewable energy, etc) and like 2k on randos

#

there is no finance channel here but i wanted some thoughts

#

i currently pay 32 percent tax from paycheck and im in cali

#

i get a fat return at the end when i file my taxes

#

i am getting an EV and there is a 7.5 tax credit in cali but from what I understand its up to 7500 refund on what you owe

#

so if I get any refund (above zero) i am losing on the program

#

is there a specific amount or a tip to get zero withholdings from my paycheck so I can start increasing the amount I owe at the end of the tax year

#

single and no kids curious if I can just set my allowance to 3 or 4

# latent sandal is there a specific amount or a tip to get zero withholdings from my paycheck so...

Mega late but don’t do this. If you withhold zero, the IRS will charge you an extra penalty for not fronting them enough money.

You can use their withholding calculator to make tweaks, but it’ll probably spit out something close to your current amount.

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/tax-withholding-estimator

latent sandal
#

a bit late 😔

#

i only done it for one paycheck tho

#

i still paid state tax and all the medicare/social security

#

just zero federal tax

heady bloom
#

You should bump your withholdings for the rest of the year.

#

(Not a lawyer or accountant)

latent sandal
#

i don’t even know what i’m doing 🥲 i thought i had an understanding

#

bump withholding means pay less taxes right?

#

this from google -> When you have too much money withheld from your paychecks, you end up giving Uncle Sam an interest-free loan (and getting a tax refund). On the other hand, having too little withheld from your paychecks could mean an unexpected tax bill or even a penalty for underpayment.

#

i’ve had too much money withheld for 40+ paychecks. and only 1/2 where it was too little

#

wouldn’t it balance out overall? unless you get penalized per paycheck and not overall fiscal year

heady bloom
#

I mean you should withhold more than you were before you did this. Say you went from $100/paycheck to $0, and you have 10 paychecks left this year. You could withhold an extra $10 from each to cover the amount you didn’t withhold.

The tricky part is that you don’t know if it’s “too much” or “too little” until you do your taxes. You’re better off erring on the side of them owing you money. Don’t get audited for an EV tax credit. Just my two cents.

latent sandal
#

so i just don’t get the EV credit, that’s lame. i thought tax projections were a thing :/

#

i def overpay my taxes so one paycheck won’t be fine, are audits that bad if you just pay what you’re supposed to? would a penalty really be more than a tax credit? how would people even take advantage of it if this is a thing

heady bloom
#
  1. Tax projections are useful, but the important number is how much you actually owe.
  2. I’m really skeptical the tax credit is structured that way. Usually it’s based on your entire tax payment, not the difference between withholding and that amount. A lot of them will even let you go negative in terms of your tax payment.
  3. Yes. Don’t get audited.
  4. The penalty isn’t a set amount, so it’s hard to say.
  5. A lot of tax credits are actually just set up badly. That doesn’t mean this one is, though.
hallow swan
#

P sure the credit has nothing to do with withholding.

If 10k was withheld from your paychecks, and your tax liability was 9k, and you got the EV credit of 7.5k, then IRS should send you a check of $8.5k.

The burden of withholding usually goes to your employer

can someone convince me why $HOOD is not a good buy? Their book value is more than marketcap, and like 90% of it is cash. They have ARR of 1.8bn. Making a ton of money from interest and will now be profitable. And when the market turns trading revenues will go up.

carmine lotus
#

Their book value is not more than market cap, market cap is about 1.06x book value

#

Idk why you said arr instead of just annual rev, it's not recurring unless you're talking about robinhood gold subscriptions, which obviously isn't gonna be $1.8bn

#

They're not profitable in their latest financial report, it shows pretty much the same losses per share as last year

#

MAU went down overall since 2021, signalling slowed growth

#

I guess if your bet is that it will pop off when stonks go up sure

dusty scaffold
#

bet should be if fed lower interest rate / another cypto bull run

#

rn i think both have a reasonable probability to happen

hexed rose
#

When adjusted for inflation, the average return per year for the S&P 500 for the past 20 years was about 7%...not bad at all when you consider that we had a bad recession during this time frame

#

And the S&P 500 has done better historically over its entire lifetime, so it's a pretty good sign

if the S&p 500 crashes, idk if america will still be around

I say buy the dip lol

#

well if you're at retirement age it's difficult to do that

hexed rose
#

How come?

novel iris
#

because you're probably at the end of your career and have your money tied up in investments and/or a home

hexed rose
#

My plan is to have so much invested that even if the S&P 500 dropped to half its value I'd still be able to live off of interest alone....hopefully lol

novel iris
#

yeah but imagine seeing your investments you built up over a lifetime just cut in half

hexed rose
#

Buys dip anyway

#

Stonks!

novel iris
#

with what cash though?

hexed rose
#

Savings

novel iris
#

i mean you might have lots of liquid cash in savings but also why would you? You're also at retirement age so you need that liquid cash to live if your investments suddenly plummet

#

or you can keep working pas your planned retirement age

#

im sure that's fun

hexed rose
#

Always good to have enough liquid cash to survive for several months with 0 outside income

#

Just in case

novel iris
#

several months is not going to correct a recession

#

especially when you need decades worth of cash to live into your golden years

hexed rose
#

Yeah but it gives you enough time to find a job if you happen to be retired

novel iris
#

yeah but now you have to keep working

#

which is the shitty part

#

also difficult to find a job in a recession obviously

#

especially if you're old

hexed rose
#

What if I pull all my money out of the stock market before things get bad and invest in government bonds?

novel iris
#

yeah ideally you wouldn't really end up in this situation anyways

hexed rose
novel iris
#

because as you reach retirement age you would do that

#

you would start to cash out slowly

#

and go more conservative like bonds

hexed rose

#

but some people have/had a lot tied up in company stock

I will think about this

#

So you say to not invest in crypto at all?

#

Like don’t touch it

#

Aight ok

#

Thanks bruv

#

Ok VOO and QQQ are def solid

#

Is your investment strategy to just buy ETFs? No day trading, crypto

#

And hold those etfs long term?

#

Wow ok

#

I just realized this recently

#

My brother and I each put around 3-4k in an investment account 2-3 years ago

#

He just bought some tech stocks and etfs and hasn’t touched it since

#

While I went around and day traded/tried crypto etc

#

His portfolio is at like 7-8k+ now

#

While I got nothing

#

Lmao I should learn the lesson to hold long term

#

Damn I’ve heard this a lot

#

It’s like stepping over quarters to get dimes

#

Trading is a big distraction

#

Yea the time is probably the worst part, since the time you spent scanning the markets and trading, could have been put towards profitable skills

#

So no crypto or day trading at all? Seems so profitable but in reality im down a ton

#

From short term stuff

#

Shit ok this is very informational

#

In relation to CS, is the thing that we should be focusing on to generate income be learning in demand skills?

#

To get good TC for example

#

damn bro this is a wake up call

#

because I honestly didn't know what direction to take

#

I knew that good internships and ng role will get to a good TC

#

but then I also had a 'fuck a 9-5' mentality and wanted to trade/do entrepreneurship

#

I need to decide on my 'path' and just stick to it

#

one sec I enjoy cs and want to grind the internships and stuff

#

other sec I say fuck 9-5

#

so you're saying its faang or broke?

#

explain

#

ok I see what you're getting at

#

so now I think the people that say that internships or faang/quant stuff don't matter is cope

#

I seem them on reddit sometimes celebrating 70-80k ng salary

#

that shit is wack compared to what you COULD have gotten

#

2-3x the salary

#

for same work hours

#

zon wlb is bad?

#

So am I getting this right:

#
  1. Faang (except Amazon)
#
  1. Amazon
#
  1. Banks (capital one, JP morgan etc.)
#

in terms of 1 being the best, 3 being the least preferred

#

so any other company is mickey essentially

#

how about faang+? say figma, roblox, databricks, datadog, linkedin, stripe, plaid etc.

#

where do those stand

#

Im curious what you were going to say about this

#

are certain FAANG companies more 'fun' to work at

#

so what matters is:

#
  1. School profile (school prestige, ranking, GPA)
#
  1. Previous experience (internships, how prestigious the company is)
#
  1. Leetcode skills (being able to solve OAs, technicals very well)
#

^ this is how you land offers at top companies?

#

great advice, super helpful

#

I was wondering if you could give me some tips personally

#

I have only 1 previous internship experience at a random startup, and am a Junior

#

have 0 offers currently for Summer 2024, though have reached a few final rounds and have a few finals coming up

#

what would be the plan/method?

#

great, this is a cool point you make. I think its a good idea to look for an internship -> RO pipeline rather than trying to get a big N internship but the company has a low RO rate

#

Thing is, I am most definitely sure I will not be getting any FAANG+ or Big N offers

#

likely mid-sized companies, such as Motorola Solutions for example

#

I am guessing it will be tough to break into faang then

#

since the internship pipeline is not an option

#

so entry level SWE using external hire is difficult

#

but junior/senior level SWE at Faang by switching from a non-faang company is not as difficult?

#

well I would of course prefer a bank

#

I have already got rej from c1

#

I can't get past most res screens

#

when would you suggest starting to apply for the new grad roles?

#

saying I graduate June 2025

#

what was your journey like? I'm assuming you got an internship or two and are currently a FT SWE?

#

this is a cool journey

#

so stack the prestigious companies above all

#

since that adds to resume value and has high future returns

#

I hear a lot of talk in the #2024_summer about 'crud' work and how some banks and faang suck because they are crud

#

I don't understand, isn't most software crud? it pays well so fuck it

#

true, most of them are quite good though in reality, i've seen meta, amazon, nvidia, netflix, quant etc.

#

ok this is good to know, the importance of web dev

#

for example, is it good to know the Angular framework?

#

and I assume in general you gotta be good with JavaScript, HTML, CSS

#

ok bet

#

and thanks for the tip on specialization

#

I can see how being very competent at one language/skill/framework will pay off more than dabbling in everything

#

also @rigid cradle how important are projects for resume value? I assume they definitely help in learning, but do companies really care that much

I'm up about 35% just by putting a small part of my paycheck into index funds every payday. I started investing about a year ago. How many day traders can say they made that much profit in one year? it's just gambling 😭 just invest in index funds bro

#

the real returns for the S&P 500 are around 7% last century when adjusted for inflation, but there are long periods of secular bullish/bearish cycles that last around 25 years which could mean that if you invested at a high point of a bull run and then there was a secular bearish cycle, you could exit the S&P with even less money than you had originally when adjusted for inflation

#

people are speculating that we may be at the end of a bullish secular cycle because of the S&P's high trailing p/e ratio relative to historical standards (~27 which is higher than average)

#

personally I dont agree with them

Hello, I have been doing remote writing alongside remote software engineering/cs roles since the engineering roles are kind of shaky right now. I launched a group called Potato Kindness, just to encourage writers to share stories on kindness and help the world be a better place. Writers do get paid on monetization similar to YouTube, by views and read. I will leave a link here if anyone is interested in doing this with some of their time in the week, maybe once a week, 1 hour or so, etc. to supplement their income(s) in this kind of labor market. There are also a lot of engineers, CEO, and big companies like Google/Apple/Meta who have teams on the website blogging about their technical engineering, workplace culture, and more so it is one other way to network and get conversations or visibility and engagement with companies. I'm happy to accept DMs too if anyone has questions. The guidelines are all here: https://medium.com/potato-kindness/potato-kindness-accepting-new-and-experienced-talented-writers-c7e102208473 I hope everyone had a great Merry Christmas and new goals entering into 2026 soon.

Hey everyone — I built a small arbitrage engine that scans Polymarket and Kalshi to find cross-market pricing inefficiencies.

It basically identifies situations where contracts are mispriced across the two platforms so you can lock in risk-free profit.

yup really hyped for their IPO

#

also if /r/wsb has taught me anything it's to just YOLO at IPO and maybe you'll brrrr with RBLX like PLTR

solid elm
#

I regret not buying Palantir

elder grail
#

I sold low strike short covered calls thinking it would never happen

#

F

hollow ridge
#

when they IPO'd I was like "nah it's not gonna go up" then I looked back recently and was like shocked_pikachu

bold pine
#

im happy i took the chance with pltr

#

im also looking into roblox ipo

#

and honestly i feel like airbnb will go back up after vaccines come out

#

also according to another trading discord im in, a few of the more veteran traders think pltr is going to be a faang tier company. im not sure how accurate that will be, but im inclined to agree with them. i bought into pltr solely because of it being a data company and the fact that it contracts with the govt is just a bonus. data companies won't be going anywhere any time soon

elder grail
#

True

hollow ridge
#

@bold pine what are your thoughts on SQ?

bold pine
#

Hmm idek the company behind that ticket symbol. I’ll look into them though and see what they’re about and their past success and let you know!

lyric minnow
#

airbnb good yes

hollow ridge
#

oh damn do they have a set date for their IPO yet

lyric minnow
#

no

#

very soon ™️

subtle blade
#

I feel like pltr will continue going up, they still have tons of potential to branch out and get more commercial/enterprise clients

#

And their product is very sticky + they have a reasonably good support model with FDEs

#

They've been investing a lot in R&D type stuff to reduce the cost of deployment and onboarding, which should make it easier for them to get new clients and scale up

solid elm
#

I could have bought at like $11 it's now $27 Is it still cheap?

#

Maybe I'll just wait for airbnb

bold pine
#

honestly even with pltr's price now i would still buy in

#

its slated to be a 200-300+ future stock

#

tbh i don't think i will invest into doordash

#

until i hear more news on how autonomous vehicles are doing

tardy hatch
#

Did u just value Palantir at 700 billion dollars

#

Lmao

bold pine
#

i personally didn't

#

youtube videos do 🤷‍♂️ . i don't think it will be like that. i think its a good long term investment though regardless

#

i personally don't know how big pltr will get. im surprised at the sudden growth it is having right now. i thought it would be more gradual

tardy hatch
#

It’s all fomo

#

And the youtubers have positions

#

And r trying to pump them a lot of the time

bold pine
#

fomo? fear of missing out?

#

i assume thats what that means

#

not surprised if so. again i don't think that "this is the next faang company and we need to buy in now!" type of thing because i don't think pltr is built like that at all. i do think it will make some money though even when all the hype is gone down

tardy hatch
#

Yea fear of missing out

#

I watched the PLTR earnings conference

#

They actually missed by like 1000%

#

But fudged the numbers a lil

#

To make it seem like the beat

#

They counted the earnings from their direct listing as part of their quarterly profit so instead of losing .9 they made 0.04 or whatever

#

But maybe it was priced in

bold pine
#

lol brett said they aint slick

#

how long do you personally think this hype will go on then? or no telling?

tardy hatch
#

It’s impossible to say
