When they spoke and gave me advice, I felt like I had a better handle on what they were telling me and understood the options they were presenting because I had spoken ahead of time with other knowledgeable individuals. It gave me time to prep and have good questions for my tax preparer rather than having to think on the fly while I was on their dime. I think it made perfect sense that you thought some advice from people on this forum. I enjoyed reading the knowledgeable advice. I think the snarky people need to get a life.
Thank you for your reply and thank you for articulating my exact point that many here in this community have a great deal of life experiences that can be shared to others.
Yes, I do have a CPA. Yes, I do have a tax attorney. Yes, I do have a full service commissioned stock broker. Yes, I have a personal banker. Yes, I am not (gambling) with my retirement accounts but with a small 100K cash account just to play the stock market "ON MY OWN". Luckily, I made a few bucks and I realize that I may give it all back, but at least I having fun. There are many traders this last week who are making more in $GME & $AMC in a week than they can working for the next three years.
BTW - Killing it on $LODE and I received the buy recommendation from a poster on reddit, who may be some kid with no experience what so ever. Thanks again
