They probably skew the odds a lot

i've really only lost money on predictit... usually the rules are broken and i don't get the payout due to disqualification. i tend to buy sub 10c rolls though, so maybe one will pay off eventually 😛

@ophiuchus VIX went down but VXX went up. Thoughts?

VXX is daily futures for VIX, so not the same

@John O - 855-MAKE-10K got it

seems legit

lol I guess they paid a lot for the vanity number

But you better not have any homes of a raise, or they'll have to get a new number

I just got off the phone with them. I bought their Get Started in Sales package. Will report back with results

NVDA 17% down on earnings report

@ThisIsChris is it partially due to their top of the line model catching on fire and the resulting recall?

@Tanner - SC haha not that I heard of, more likely because they missed revenue expectations by 60 million and had been priced at a high multiple

@ThisIsChris Excess inventory from overproduction when crypto demand died.
> Nvidia announced its third quarter financial results, but a worrying glut of graphics cards in the channel, which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang chalked up to a "Crypto hangover," impacted overall earnings and guidance. The news sent the company's stock plummeting 18% in after-hours trading. Nvidia expects the oversupply to require "one to two" quarters to recede.

Gasoline is cheap!

I have a tax question.

I’m driving quite a bit for IE purposes, and I intend to mark so on my taxes. Will I need to provide documentation like odometer readings? How does all of that work?

Is IE your employer?

I found this from TurboTax

Yes

You can deduct the miles driven in a personal car for work.

The more documentation you have the better it is at tax time. Here is the IRS' own words.

@Matthias

okay someone explain this to me

to rent a house or get a mortgage you need proof of income

but once you move, you won't have that income anymore

so how do you get prove of income to move somewhere far away?

Maybe a job offer letter will do?

@Jacob @Ecarttev yep job offer letter, paystubs, and proof of assets.

okay so this is my plan for when I finally move

don't buy at first

because that's a huge decision

rent a place for a while, and, while I'm there, learn about the home buying process and physically examine potential homes

and then buy when I'm ready

Save while the times are good, y’all. Live below your means.

Yeah, I'm getting out soon.

Yeah I've been selling off holdings for over a month and I pulled out my last holdings two weeks ago after I've been bleeding for months, just before the most recent cratering. The market does seem to be bouying on speculation that the fed is going to save it by not raising interest rates this tuesday or wednesday. I don't know what to make of that, but my short-term short position on S&P500 wasn't great this morning.
