And just like that the markets close green across the board but our dozen or so TDS posters on the money board that get laughed at on the political board thought this was be some gotcha moment for trump.

They really thought investigating a weasel like Powell would be detrimental to market performance….lol

Every situation is different

My wife wanted to stay at home with kiddos at that age so we most likely would have put the money in brokerage and replaced her income that way until she decide she wanted to work again.

Wondering if the military applications for Graphene will help move the approval to the front of the approval pile?

Certainly Cant hurt that the DoW is going to be one of the first customers

Looks like shorters are back if he is saying his shares were leant out.

With no material updates to the manufacturing facility, contracts with customers, stock listing to Nasdaq or epa approval, the shorters are going to keep driving it down

Impossible to know for sure but a few things are working in small caps favor. The lower interest rates should help and deregulation as well.

Will be interesting to see how the current case at scotus is ruled related to a President being able to hire and fire at all of these “independent” agencies like the EPA

If regulation is cleared on a lot of innovation that we see in the small cap space it might usher in a new era of growth.

Regardless the bottle neck that had been placed on small caps via regulation hopefully Cant get worse at this point.
If interest rates continue drop you should put some in a Russell 2k like small cap index.

Agree, I think $250k tax free for the rest of there natural lives or the next direct kin if they are deceased is a more befitting but anything besides an insulting low $15k is a good start.

I Didn’t make it. Entire sales division (cyber security) was let go. 100 folks

Like ATT …Verizon is getting out of cyber security sales and back to core focus on mobility

Agree and VZ has taken a costly approach to B2B sales amd chickens are coming home to roost

For instance they have two separate sales teams Wireless and Wireline for most enterprise customers.

Raising Canes for instances has Wireless rep and wireline …insane

Correct….lot if not all of the corporate stores will eventually turn to franchise

Silver lining is that some of the rif store employees will get rehired by the franchise store owners

Billy Bob is on T-Mo commercials

TMo is doing the country western bit because the big knock on them has been that their coverage area is not good in sparsely populated areas.

Guess markets are gonna react favorable to this??
Oh I didn’t realize that…I guess I thought you could do both a trad and Roth

I am able to do a back door Roth amd the normal 401k

But to y’all’s point it’s through work
Right but I still would just do a traditional ira (tax deferred) in addition to her Roth IRA if there is no match

Is your wife’s 401k matched? If not I wouldn’t bother with it. Work 401ks are usually pretty limited in investment options

Start or continue to contribute to her own personal IRA instead which has practically anything/mutual funds available to invest in.
