You should always have about 1/3 worth of cash in your accounts ready. I wonder if it was down to the earning or the spaceX explosion. Either way, I think I can risk a little.

I have some cash in a savings account, but that's for emergencies and therefore not for investing

Can she roll over for the year after?

You've never been tempted? My trading platform will loan me a silly amount of money just like that.

We would have to consult a tax expert. Maybe @patgilm can answer that question?

No, margin trading is for someone who knows what they are doing. I'm not that someone

I've never heard of that and that's a bad thing to do to have your net worth decline so much due to inflation...

Im adopting his style of questioning at work too, when someone is full of it, you just need to ask a few simple questions and then let it unfold !

Most of my money is either in my home or investments. I keep a small amount of emergency cash in savings, so I agree with you, 1/3 is lot of money that is either collecting a very pitiful amount of interest or none at all. Of course with the markets the way they are right now, my portfolio is looking a little "down" these days

This is why certain auto makers are so resistant to electric vehicles their cash cow service and parts business is all but gone.

no idea where you got this pearl of wisdom from. now i have heard of having at least 3 months of living expenses in liquid form just in case.
most people sadly couldn't get far beyond one missed paycheck.

No tax expert here, only large corporate accounting. Sorry, can’t help you there.
