Nah, I didn’t even buy back into my QCLN because it seems to heavily track TSLA. I’m all about value not high-fliers.

TSLA now higher market cap than FB

FB is up 2% today

Since March of 2020:

BTC ~$5k—>$40k
TSLA ~$80–>$800 current P/E ratio ~1500

A 1.5k P/E isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A 1.5M P/E

Right, it was a joke about your issues related to selling/receiving your funds and timing the market.

Just got an email my online bank is shutting down. (Simple). I’ve been using them for like 7 years so I have no idea where to go next. Anyone have any suggestions? Just a basic shared checking account is all I need.

Capital One is solid. I also know lots of people like Ally.

Another +1 for Capital One. APY for their savings has went down from 1% to 0.3% though over past year or two.

I’ve heard good things about Ally but don’t use them personally (my main Checking acct is Chase, but they’re limited geographically). My emergency fund is in a high-yield account with Barclays–IIRC they and Ally are usually near the top for APY on Savings accounts.

Do they have an app with decent UI? That along with a “protected goals” account were my favorite parts of Simple.

~ish? Idk if it’s as good as Simple. TBH i only use the app for depositing checks. That part works well though.

lol why does anyone use a bank over a credit union? Mine gives me 1% dividend per month on checking balance. And, you know, isn’t evil.

Inertia. I’ve had a Chase account forever, but basically keep a <$200 balance in it at all times. Direct deposit goes in and then payments and transfers immediately go out. If they started charging me, I’d leave.

I’m a degen and have moved almost half my savings to USDC on BlockFi which pays 8.6% APY. Liquidity sucks, but it’s funds I can’t see myself needing immediately under any circumstance.

My friend trusts it enough to hold 3 BTC on there for the last couple of years so meh.

I’ve yet to find a credit Union without archaic design.

Hadn’t considered using a credit union tbh. I have paychecks on direct deposit and bills on autopay, is using a regular bank a leak in this situation?

L O Fucking L. If you care about your savings, take it out of here immediately. No remotely safe bank pays 8.6% in a world of 1% 10-year treasuries. If you want to gamble, then whatever. But recognize that this is a risky gamble and not just a normal high-yield savings account.
