- Podcast is a portmanteau of iPod and broadcast! iPod’s name was originally given because it was the smaller version of the mac computer, like a pod of a mothership.
- Porsche going public, ~75B.
- Apple One is Apple TV, iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade.
- Apple Card is 3% back at Apple. 2% on Apple Pay (basically everything else).
- Registered the Carta account to sign LP docs. Basic info, wire info, w-9, accredited investor / qualified purchaser / qualified client. And then, specific fund info: LPA (~50pg) and subscription agreement.
- Schwab’s webapp is garbage. Failed 2FA, failed withdrawals, failed trades. Tried multiple times today to liquidate a few positions, all failed. Ended up doing it from the mobile app.
- BoA’s “autopay” feature for business credit cards (and customer support) is also garbage. 2 hours on the phone in total.
- There should be a single link on all main pages; this is one of the first primary things an account owner sets up.
- Can’t go through mobile app, links you to full site.
- Full site has nothing on the payments menus. You have to go through the transfers menu (it’s not autopay, it’s a recurring transfer……….). Once you do, there’s no option to just do something like “pay full statement balance on the first of every month, from my business checking account to my business credit account” – crazy.
- Called – had to wait for robomenus hearing “set up autopay” as “order checks” as well as encouraging the download of the mobile app for better support (devops SWE inside me screaming).
- The first human I talked to only knew the Personal side. They transferred me to the Business specialists, repeating the whole process above.
- Then they said that my business account was not categorized in “Bill Pay” mode, it was “Payments and Invoicing” mode – a setting that occurs when the account is setup. So they had to transfer me to the P&I team to help with autopay.
- That hold was over an hour 🙂
- Then they said that they were the Fraud department, not the Payments and Invoicing department. Transferred again.
- This one then picked up and said they were the Small Businesses department (lol, jesus christ) and transferred me over to Payments and Invoicing (888-287-4637).
- End of the road, last woman knew! It’s not an “enable online banking” or “enable eBill” issue. Older accounts are Bill Pay; newer accounts (like mine) are Payments and Invoicing. However the new system does not use the old BillPay infrastructure, it uses the Transfer tooling to handle autopay. And the transfer tooling is only capability of sending a Fixed amount at a frequency, not the dynamic “full balance” or “statement balance” etc. So if you want to pay your exact bill amount, you cannot do it automatically – you must do it manually. Fucking insane. Breaks my software heart, could roll this feature out in less than a day. They said that they hope that feature is released soon and I’ll get an email notification when it’s out.
- Remember, inherently; if you buy a bunch of a stock, it will go up, and then you hold a lot of that higher-price stock. But then the same thing happens when you try to sell it off; price will go back down as you liquidate. So, if you can find opportunities to buy normally (affecting the price) and sell abnormally (without affecting the price), you have a profit window.
- An example: Buy a lot in the morning, when liquidity is lower. Prices will increase. Sell it in the afternoon, when liquidity is higher. Prices will still decrease, but not as much.
- Another: lock in a price ahead of time with the seller (futures contract, whatever): then do the normal buy, and the fixed sell.
