Yeah imo at best we will be where we were after Obama and the JCPOA. At best. How many billions will Trump and Cruz and the GOP Senate be shoveling to Iran, after they bully-ragged about Obama giving Iran back their 4 .2 billion in frozen assets? Rumors are it is 14 billion plus another 14 billion, PLUS 300 billion in reparations (according to Iran who I believe about as far as I believe Trump and Kegbreath) but who knows? Will Cruz and Lindsay even blush? Will we make 90 days? If the spice flows, a defeat is a victory, I suppose.

The spice must flow. However, we must wait another 5 days for the details of the MOU, and 90 days afterwards for the "details" on the nukes, which will be.....fun.

Short squeezes are the only way stocks CAN go up anymore because shorting is so rampant. Longs then get the regular price appreciation PLUS the previously forgone price appreciation that shorts temporarily stole from them by attempting to profit off an asset that they (the shorts) have zero investment in. Not for nothing, but short squeezes are created by shorts, not longs. If nobody ever shorted, there could never exist short squeezes. Furthermore, there is no reason to ever short a stock. I’ve made decent money in the stock market and I’ve never shorted a share in my life.

TLDR: AI is not in bubble its a revolution. Don't be confused, this is not about Artificial Intelligence which is not a thing. Its not Artificial and it certainly is not intelligent. Its a program backed by fast data connections. The fast data and fast computer is what is valuable, as it can and will make all jobs faster and more efficient on every level. Antropic alone is not "AI". Even Jensen says AI but he does that to communicate to the layman. If you are in a job that produces lots of files or have anything that is remotely redundant, it WILL be replaced with computer software. Running these task remotely requires an electrical brain and compute power. Thats where the spending is going. Weather or not we are over building data centers now is irrelevant. Its coming because there is efficiency and money in it. If you can not compete on pricing using remote computer power you will lose market share becuase you ate not priced low and efficient enough. Yes the industry will have lost of waves but the next 10 years will be enormous advancements, and in 20yrs its a space revolution, Space flights become common, space maintenance of satelites, space surveillance for gov't and home. Telescope observations, home monitoring from space. Space Traffic Control. Space Data centers. VALUATION Add in runaway inflation accelerated through higher multiple evaluations which creates more spending and thus more demand for goods PLUS govt debt servicing. Sounds like if we keep chasing stocks, wich I think can run much much higher. We will have stagflation, higher interest rates and less and less jobs. At some point we will have to shift to world stable currency. The solution will need to be debt payback by the govt and, provide people more time off through corporate efficiecy increases.

When Dell or Broadcom rise in value, that does not mean an equal number of new dollars “entered” the stock. A small amount of marginal buying can reprice every share. If the last trade happens 8 percent higher, the whole company’s market capitalization is marked 8 percent higher. The seller gets cash, the buyer gets shares, and the quoted value of all existing holders changes. So a trillion dollars of added market value does not require a trillion dollars of new cash. Some money is moving off the sidelines from retirement funds, hedge funds and other large investors. They were waiting for the next big thing and now it's arrived. The biggest real source is hyperscaler capital spending. Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and others spending their real operating cash flow--it's a firehose of money--and some debt on chips, servers, networking, data centers and power. That money becomes supplier revenue and earnings, which then justifies *their* higher stock prices if investors believe that the revenue is going to continue to grow. Is it a bubble? Probably not, in my opinion. A) TSMC is not producing as many chips as they could sell, by a long way. NVIDIA and others are begging them to up production and they won't. Spending would be twice what it is if there were enough chips. This braking behavior from the only foundry that really matters means things haven't gone off the rails. B ) The chips are being used to make money right now. Anthropic and OpenAI and others are very profitably using the chips to serve the models they have. They're not profitable overall because they are spending like crazy to build 2028's and 2029's models. If THOSE can't be served profitably--if people don't want to pay to use them--then valuations tank. If AI becomes more and more useful as the years go on, people are going to pay more and more to use it. If near-future AI can't be used economically or doesn't increase productivity enough for people to use it more and more, then these valuations won't be justified. But if in 2029 Anthropic can basically sell you 1,000 150-IQ engineers who work smoothly together, work 24/7 and at 10x human speed so that they can do 32,000 hours of high-level output per real hour on the clock--or 640 man-years in a week. That might cost $8,000,000 and to hire those actual engineers would perhaps cost $128,000,000. PLUS you'd have to wait years to get the output instead of a week. You can definitely imagine a drug company or a military contractor gladly paying that bill as frequently as they can if it means they get better medicine or radar absorbent materials to sell in half the time for less R&D investment.

ePlus inc. (NASDAQ:PLUS) reported strong Q4 and full year fiscal 2026 results, with net sales for the quarter up 20.6% to $576.2 million and diluted EPS coming in at $1.00. For the full year, net sales increased 22.1% to $2.44 billion, while diluted EPS from continuing operations surged 64.1% to $4.71 per share. Adjusted EBITDA grew 49.5% for the fiscal year to $204.8 million. Quarterly performance was heavily driven by the core infrastructure product segment, which saw net sales rise 25.0% to $466.1 million, offsetting a slight compression in consolidated Q4 gross margin to 24.6% due to product mix shifts. Backed by a strong balance sheet holding $410.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, the board approved an 8% increase to its quarterly cash dividend, raising it to $0.27 per share.

It's not a peace deal it's an agreement to talk about a peace deal 🌮 is dim but brighter than 90% of wsbers. His greatest fear is a deal which has the WSJ saying lmao this is worse than Obama's JCPOA. He knows there is no universe in which he gets a better deal than JCPOA (which restricted uranium enrichment to 3.7% vs 60% and never contemplated anything as mad as restrictions on the strait). A 60 day MoU buys him a 60 day reprieve, PLUS however many days he spends vacillating over signing it. That's why it's "pending his final approval" ATM: who really thinks he has ever spent more than 3 minutes thinking about a decision? Bet accordingly. Specifically the market wants to believe in fairies same as 🌮 does so is probably good for as long as he temporises. Secondly oil reserves are fuk and more fuk with every day the strait stays closed. Oil may lurch down with prospects of a reopening, but medium term calls.

With all the money that silly athletes get paid, think of how many lives you could save, how many houses you could build, how much life saving medical research you could do, how many hospitals you could build, how much better you could make everyone’s lives when people are struggling way too much to survive, YET all those dollars are going to a silly game that provides no societal value. PLUS you’re tax dollars are funding it because the tv networks and other big corporations get big government contracts that they then use to pay athletes millions of dollars so that’s the REAL upwards transfer of wealth, but people will never appreciate this.

So SpaceX needs handset manufacturers to change the chipset to use the spectrum they purchased for 17B last year. They have no deals with handset manufacturers to do that, and they are just HOPING manufacturers decide to change them, when these same chipsets already work with ASTs spectrum. PLUS 5G dont work with their current version of satellites and it will be several years until they get a new version tested and deployed. My god ASTS will corner the entire market. They've already got 99mbps with their first version and the new versions are set to double that.

I think FIG is priced incorrectly. Around 95% of the S&P 500 uses them and 80% of the fortune 2000 companies. 40%+ revenue growth trading at 9x price to sales with 80%+ margins. And, their AI product Figma Make is now limiting token usage to 3000 tokens. This is going to improve their margins by not giving unlimited generations, and create a new revenue stream of being a major token seller (the tier below Anthropic and Open Ai) Figma is sticky bc of the workflow and the ecosystem. Teams build their design system libraries and collaboration inside of Figma. U can’t switch easily bc it’s how a team works together The market should get excited about recurring SAAS revenue PLUS consumption based AI revenue

NorthernMan77

This is one of the most studied options trades out there and there's actually real research behind it so let me give you the full picture. The trade you're describing is the pre-earnings IV run-up. Thesis is that implied vol expands in a fairly predictable curve in the 2-4 weeks leading into earnings, and if you exit before the print you sidestep the IV crush that destroys most long premium earnings plays. Real edge, real research, but not a layup. # The research Most cited paper here is Gao, Xing and Zhang's "Anticipating Uncertainty: Straddles Around Earnings Announcements". They found long straddles bought a few weeks before earnings and sold the day before generated significant excess returns historically. Key insight wasn't that earnings moves were predictable, it's that the IV ramp itself was the source of edge. Diavatopoulos and a few others also showed OTM options exhibit the strongest IV expansion in the runup window, which is part of why your OTM call idea has merit but also why strike selection matters so much. NVDA pattern over the last 8-10 cycles roughly: * ATM IV starts climbing 15-20 trading days before the print * Ramp accelerates in the final 5-7 days * Stock has rallied into the print in maybe 6 of the last 10 cycles But "rallied" is doing heavy lifting, in some it was 2-3%, in others 15%+. The 4 cycles it didnt rally, two were sideways chop where IV ramp barely offset theta, two were actual selloffs where the trade lost money even with IV expanding. Positive expected value historically, but variance per cycle is huge. # Case studies worth knowing Feb 2024 NVDA, the AI moment print. Stock ran from \~$680 to $785 in three weeks. Anyone in OTM calls 3 weeks out made multiples even before the print. This is the trade everyone remembers and why this strategy gets so much attention. But this was an outlier, AI narrative going parabolic, most cycles arent this clean. Aug 2024 NVDA. \~$130 three weeks out, climbed to \~$129 by the day before. IV expanded but underlying barely moved. OTM calls flat to slightly down because vega gain didnt offset theta and small delta drag. Anyone holding through got crushed cause NVDA beat but sold off on guidance. That cycle taught alot of people the IV ramp alone doesnt save you if the stock doesnt cooperate. Nov 2023 NVDA. Chopped sideways for two weeks then dumped 3% the day before. People in OTM calls 3 weeks out lost money even with IV ramping, vega gain was real but small (8-10% IV expansion on those strikes) and didnt offset delta loss. Practitioner data. CMLviz published numbers showing pre earnings long straddle on a basket of high IV expansion names had a 60-65% win rate held from 30 days out to 1 day before. Real edge but losing trades were big enough that position sizing matters alot. # Your actual setup Strike selection. Strike matters more than expiry here. Going too far OTM (15-20%+ OTM) is where this trade kills people, you need a meaningful underlying move PLUS the ramp. Sweet spot on names like NVDA is 30-40 delta, roughly 5-10% OTM. You give up lottery ticket upside but delta participation saves you when the stock cooperates but doesnt moonshot. Below 20 delta is basically pure speculation on a violent rally. Expiry selection. June 18 is overkill if you're exiting before earnings. NVDA earnings are mid-late May, so closing 2-3 days before means you're holding 3 weeks max. June 18 means paying for 6+ weeks of extrinsic time you wont use. You actually get more vega per dollar on closer expiries like May 30 or June 6, because longer dated options have more vega absolute but lower percentage vega (more of price is already extrinsic). Tradeoff is more theta if the ramp is slow to develop. # Structures Long call (your plan) is highest conviction highest cost. Pure delta and vega. If both work you print, either fails you bleed. Call debit spread caps upside but cuts cost roughly in half and reduces theta drag. Loses some vega cause short call has positive vega against you. Better risk adjusted, worse if NVDA rips. Calendar spread is pure vega, profits from IV expanding more on long leg than short. Lower cost, lower variance. Downside is you dont benefit from a big move cause both legs pin if stock blows past the strike. Not really the bet on NVDA. Diagonal. Hybrid, sell short dated OTM call buy longer dated less OTM call. Cheaper than long call, more directional than calendar. # Risk management * Define your loss exit BEFORE entry. Most people define the IV ramp exit but not the "this isnt working" exit. If NVDA dumps 5% in two weeks are you out? Write it down or you'll cope your way into holding through earnings. * Size like it goes to zero. Long calls die. Especially OTM. Set size assuming you might not see the money again. * Track everything. Entry/exit IV, entry delta, strike, expiry, P&L, what the stock did. After 10 trades you have data specific to YOUR execution. * Don't average down. Adding to a losing earnings runup is how small losses become portfolio damaging. * Don't get cute with the exit. "I'll just hold through" is the worst case. ATM IV on NVDA collapses 30-50% the morning after, easy. Holding erases the entire vega edge. If you're getting deeper into earnings plays I'd really look at joining a community where people run this stuff in real time. Im in Cash Flow University ([joincfu.com](http://joincfu.com/)), tons of options traders in there running earnings setups, IV ramp plays, calendars, diagonals, all of it. Saved me months of trial and error on strike and expiry selection. # Few more things on NVDA going in * Term structure. If front month IV is already elevated vs back month, ramp largely happened and you're buying near the top. Most platforms show this. * Catalyst events. Analyst day, conferences between now and earnings create mini IV bumps that help or hurt depending on entry. * IV rank/percentile. At 80+ before ramp even starts, less room to expand. At 30-40 more room. * Sector trade. NVDA doesnt trade in isolation, it moves with AVGO/AMD/TSM. Sector selloffs hurt this trade even if NVDA news is fine. Bottom line. Trade is legit, real historical edge, but not a layup and variance per trade is high. Strike and expiry matter more than entry timing. Lock exits before entry. Size for total loss. Track results. Find a community to learn in. Cash Flow University ([joincfu.com](http://joincfu.com/)) is where I do most of my learning, between live trade walkthroughs and people who've run these setups for years its been a huge accelerator. Earnings season is the same setups with different tickers, so getting good at one or two goes a long way. Good luck, hope it prints.

>market is extremely overbought so any black swan event or series of missed earnings calls on the mag 7 could cause people to start pulling money out of the market and send the house of cards crashing down. Irritating that people including myself THINK that way but then you see we've had MULTIPLE blackswans including but not exclusive to: * A once-in-a-lifetime global trade war between the top 2 global economic powers * Rate hikes from near 0% to around 4% * A once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic * A once-in-a-lifetime global economic halt due to said pandemic * A once-in-a-lifetime all-time high for unemployment * A once-in-a-lifetime attack on our democratic electoral process PLUS a literal insurrection by a sitting US president * A once-in-a-lifetime European land war * A once-in-a-lifetime massive commodity spike * A once-in-a-decade massive inflation spike * A once-in-a-lifetime global central bank rate hiking cycle INCLUDING unprecedented speed of rate hikes by the US Fed from 0% to +5% * A once-in-a-lifetime end of ZIRP era * A once-in-a-lifetime global economic/manufacturing re-ordering as society slipped from unrestricted globalization to friendshored trade blocs. * A once-in-a-decade middle east conflict * An extremely divisive and toxic election with accusations of assassinations, staging assassinations, mud throwing, internal bickering, replacing the incumbent candidate, etcetc. * A once-in-a-lifetime attack on our democratic electoral process (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-lifetime US presidential crypto con * A once-in-a-lifetime US presidential crypto con (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-lifetime "liberation day" where the US declares trade war on the entire world * A once-in-a-lifetime global trade war between the top 2 global economic powers (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade middle east conflict (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade commodity spike (AGAIN) * A once-in-a-decade massive inflation spike (AGAIN) At this point, I think the market MIGHT crash if we DON'T get a """""""""""""""""""BLACKSWAN""""""""""""""""""" within 6 months

Morgan Stanley is expensive — charges 1.25% PLUS additional fees anytime you buy/sell anything (it adds up!) & your account is only as good as the FA :/ or they just stick you in a bunch of ETF’s anyone can do themselves. Unless you know the FA is worth the cost, ideally find one who charges under 1%…

SkepticalInvestor21

Hey, I appreciate the honest question. The reality is pretty sobering - studies consistently show that 80-90% of day traders lose money over time, and that's with proper training and capital. Even prop trading firms have high washout rates. Your finance background is solid, but trading for income is fundamentally different from portfolio management. You need significant capital (most pros suggest 6-12 months living expenses PLUS trading capital), iron discipline, and honestly, a backup plan. Have you considered freelance financial consulting or remote analyst work while building trading skills on the side? Your ESG expertise is actually in high demand right now. That way you can test your trading strategies with money you can afford to lose, rather than money you need to eat. The successful independent traders I know didn't quit their day jobs until they had at least a year of consistent profitable trading under their belt.

He’s combining domestic oil (13.5mmbd) PLUS natural gas liquids (9.8mmbd). Natural gas, yes, is generally 95% methane, but the other 5% range from ethane to hexane (in declining % order). Ethane/propane aren’t really useful for gasoline production in current refining set ups, BUT it’s extremely useful for plastics production (and heating of course), and, for example, we don’t have to waste crude oil to crack it down to ethane for polyethane production. What dipshit in chief is leaving out, is all those countries produce a lot of natural gas, and therefore natural gas liquids too, that he conveniently leaves out of this chart.

> Trump is an old man who is likely going to die soon. He truly doesn't give a fuck about any of this, not even money at this point. The ones close to him are pulling the strings to use up all of the presidential power that is quickly running out due to his time in office or maybe his health. I'd argue that if he has little time left and isn't motivated by money, that's evidence that he's far more motivated by his legacy. I believe he genuinely believes that if he wins a war in Iran and achieves regime change that improves the country, he'll be seen favorably in the future. My evidence for this is: 1. Attaching his name and image to everything. Trump accounts for kids(so they attribute their wealth to Trump), renaming Kennedy center to Trump Kennedy center, Trump banners with his face on them in DC, "Trump-class" battleships, putting his face on National park pass. 2. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace" - Donald Trump, 2026 3. How much Trump lashes out at the Media for covering him unfavorably(to the point where he weaponizes the FCC), even though he never needs to be elected again(2 term cap). Not saying there can't be corrupt things happening behind the scenes that we don't know about, anything is possible with this administration. Just saying it's very much like him to focus more on how he looks than what's best for the world.

I disagree with; the 20% people throw out seems like a traditional way of looking at this and don’t personally subscribe to this anymore. Markets nowadays are NOT the same as they were decades ago. With growing prevalence of 401ks over pensions where people consistently invest PLUS greater retail accessibility a decent amount of the volatility that was more easily seen in the past has likely smoothed. I think all of those guardrails need to adjust for how markets are invested in and accessed today.

It couldn't be more obvious that poet will be selling 100g, 800g (both types), and both ELS products as soon as their lines are finished set up (said to be soon).The products were qualified last year, and the production line qualification for all five in house products are imminent. For FIT and Lessengers, it's also becoming clear that they're licensing the platform for 1.6T to Lessengers and FIT who showed those poet inside transceivers this week, to be available next quarter. The timing, availability, lack of PO, silence re numbers all indicate licensing, which POET alluded to one time late last year. The hints about even bigger entities to be revealed in the next few months, combined with the SEC investor anonymity for the 150 million capital raise, PLUS poet estimating that they can get to whole transceiver passive assembly this year, all suggest even bigger announcements this summer. Then, the Russell 2000 listing in May will add more gasoline on top. Management needs a prodding to do better on the investor relations front, no question. But, this will be an extremely interesting summer.

We run algo trades and are averaging 22% over the last +15 years. Plus we tax loss harvest along the way so the taxed equivalent would be significantly higher. We could perform an average 10% annualized and still beat a 13% annualized AND STILL have more tax losses to utilize for other sales. Example: we actually beat the SP500 last year returning 18% gain PLUS, off of a $1M starting value Jan 1, we also produced well over 170k of tax loss.

What you're missing is that people who max out these accounts are going to have significant RMDs and significant taxed assets outside their Roth IRA. If you think of it as starting with $21k pre-tax and having either: 1. $16k compounding with zero taxes forever, or 2. $16k where it will be taxed on withdrawal and $5k outside of the account where a portion of the growth is taxed (dividends/distributions every year) PLUS capital gains are taxed when you sell. $21k looks better now, but if you factor in actual buying power after all taxes are paid, the $16k will have stronger buying power in the long run. It's only a matter of timeframe. A lot of people look at 65, but the real question is "when you will withdraw", which could be 70, or 90, or even after die by your heirs using Roth. With Traditional, you're forced to withdraw and pay taxes long before then, so you lose the long term benefits. There isn't clean algebra you can do on this, but I've run a bunch of different scenarios and this is true as long as you are a number of years from withdrawals (like 10+) and at almost any retirement tax rate, unless rules change significantly.

Most likely it's currency. When the dollar weakens, foreign assets priced in euros, yen, or won go up in USD terms even if local prices are flat or down. Your fund's return is local stock performance PLUS the currency move. On a day where the dollar drops 1-2% against major currencies, that alone can swing your foreign fund into the green regardless of what the underlying market does. Check if USD weakened today vs EUR and JPY, I'd bet that's most of the explanation.

Yemen closed the Red Sea. Yemen has no navy, no airforce, no telecommunications PLUS it's the poorest country in the Middle East. but it still made passage into/out of the Red Sea too dangerous and forced insurance rates sky high. Yemen even threatened a US Navy aircraft carrier.

''A big short term issue is their current obligations coming up, they will HAVE to dilute/offer shares as part of the payment arrangement, no two ways about it, and then refinance their debt, they have a LOT of money coming due soon, and so this indicates about a 15% dilution, PLUS more debt.'' I like the CEO's reaction to this. People tend to worry about the payment obligations, because their recent acquisitions are too succesfull. What do you prefer, a too succesfull acquistion, or a poor acquisition? He prefers the first option (and me too, actually). The market is bearish because of too succesfull acquistions... Sounds ironic.

Assuming 3% inflation, $6M is roughly equally to a little over $3.3M today. At a conservative withdrawal rate of 3% that's $100k a year. PLUS social security, which for a married couple in your shoes is likely at least another $30k a year (even more possibly) Not sure, why that is not enough to live on. That's a very nice income, especially if you have your home paid for.

A big short term issue is their current obligations coming up, they will HAVE to dilute/offer shares as part of the payment arrangement, no two ways about it, and then refinance their debt, they have a LOT of money coming due soon, and so this indicates about a 15% dilution, PLUS more debt. Sure, it is not a bad business, and I own quite a bit, but, thats their current negative. The neutral/uncertainty is also big, they are very reliant on current monetiziation of places, via affiliate links, which may or may not remain profitable long term, they are trying to get away from this, but it is still a big risk of displacement. Their larger growing segments of recurring revenue like optic odds, are "overpriced" many say aswell so it isn't certain those will remain popular long term/that those services will remain necessary forever. I think they're a great cigar butt though, I don't think they will last forever, but if the business can maintain for 10 years, which I do expect, and then slowly taper off, I think it'll do well as an investment, with their debt paid off after only a few years, they will be printing money for a little while.

Thanks. Lets imagine 2 scenarios: 1) its a $30 spread - 116 x MU 420 2/13 and sold -136 x MU 450 C 2/13 PLUS another 20 of the same shorts with 20 x MU 420 3/6. MU has now steadily climbed to $425 ($25 is either far enough away or way too close) up and its approaching my short call strike ($450) and due to the quantity, I dont want to make another very expensive mistake by closing out immediately. 2) MU opens at $460, $10 higher than my short? Bc of qty, I don't make a 5 or 6 digit mistake. Thank you all!

Sagelllini

Because when you "stop playing the game" you tend to lose in the long run, especially when you factor in inflation. [Here are the numbers.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q_Ws85WaWWbvAgXgc-_RDo99mZjOOx5uBgMWakuAPLA/edit?usp=drivesdk) Start with $20MM, 4.7% return, 4% withdrawal rate, 3% inflation. After 8 years, your portfolio starts to decrease. You run out of money when you are 34 years in. I guess that's OK if you were 70 when you started; 50 not so much. To maintain the economic value of a portfolio, your returns need to be your withdrawal rate PLUS 3% for inflation. At a 4% withdrawal rate, the Mendoza line is 7%. And 4.7% guaranteed ain't 7%.

If we could make robots in a traditional form factor that had the dexterity of humans we could configure warehouses to suit that. The problem is that reproducing the dexterity of humans in any robot form factor is really hard. Humanoid robots have that problem PLUS the additional problem of locomotion. It's a fundamentally stupid idea that sounds really cool as long as you don't think about it too much, which makes it perfect for Elon Musk. It's also not a given that we'll be able to easily make robots that are actually cheaper to operate in the long run than a $15/hour or whatever human laborer.

I strongly suspect that SOFI will have tailwinds during the second half of this year due to changes to federal student loan availability. Graduate PLUS loans will no longer be available starting July 2026. Without Grad PLUS loans, more student borrowers will need to turn to private loans. SOFI's business model targets young high-earning customers, so it is very well situated to offer loans to borrowers who will be able to repay. I have SOFI shares and LEAPS right now. I think I was too early on the LEAPS, down 15% and will probably sell. I'll be selling CCs and accumulating shares until around July, and I might buy more LEAPS after the Grad PLUS changes go into effect.

since late 2022/early 2023 it's gone line this: end of remote work (return to office). 2 rounds of layoffs totaling 30k+ right before the RTO as well (my RTO date was may 2023). from there we shifted from hybrid (3 days in office, 2 remote) to full in office with no remote. then as of 6-ish months ago they pushed a "return to hub" where many/most employees need to move to a hub location (so Seattle/Virginia) by a certain point or lose your job. then the recent news is 2 more rounds of layoffs (around 30k total again) PLUS they released a new internal tool to flag folks who aren't in office by a certain time and/or spending "x" amount of hours in office which has never been a thing for salaried employees at amazon historically speaking. basically at this point i just feel like a cuck if i stay, lol.

It.would be a tax advantage whether or not your tax rate in retirement is higher/lower. You're thinking of the difference between a 401k contribution or a Roth, as opposed to 401k vs Brokerage. For sake of argument in a simplistic scenario, say OP has an extra $1,000 income to invest for retirement. If he goes with a brokerage, he really only gets to contribute 75-78% (or $780ish dollars) of that now because taxes are due now. But if he goes with a 401k he gets to contribute the full $1,000, which means that the extra $220 will grow and compound for years. So in retirement: Brokerage: Pay taxes on whatever $780 compounds to by retirement (minus $780) 401k: Pay taxes on whatever $780 compounds to PLUS whatever $220 amounts to by retirement. The 401k will have significantly more money.
