Everyone has good insight so far - I would add that this video[1] from CGP Grey comes to mind about picking a theme for the year ahead. It's easy to get bogged down in the details but I try to follow a heuristic of taking action is infinitely better than sitting down and endlessly ruminating about it (of course easier said than done).

This looks great! I found a bug on Safari on my iPhone where the sidebar download button leads you to the TestFlight beta download instead of the actual app. I'm glad the wellness space is being explored more and more with technology.
This rings true for myself and a couple of my friends who grew up relatively poor in a wealthy area - our test scores on the SAT and relevant subject tests boosted us into private schools that we would not have gone to otherwise, which then led us to well-paying jobs right out of college. Last I checked, my high school implemented affordable/free SAT tutoring for all students and I hope to see more of it nationwide as I believe it helps immensely in socioeconomic mobility.
Anecdotally, I've been able to almost completely curb my lifelong nail-biting habit with NAC.
do you have any resources for how to get into professional house-sitting? sounds like it would expand horizons in a very accessible way!
I don't think you understand - the assumption that they already got out doesn't hold because shorted shares/float data is publicly accessible[1]. Now I'm sure what happened today allowed them to cover some of their losses partially, but not even close to all of it.
Robinhood would not put themselves in such a precarious position if they had already exited - also as for the price target of when they actually do start covering their shorts, they are still currently short more than the available amount of shares on the market - the current trading range of around 200-300 cannot be the squeeze.
This is ONLY if you enable margin trading via Robinhood Gold - they increased their margin requirements recently on GME and this will not happen to you if you are trading on cash.
I honestly feel bad for all the employees, especially the early ones with equity that were looking forward to cashing out after the IPO - now they have to deal with immensely negative PR and federal investigations.
This makes no sense - if they had closed their short positions of millions of shares and had the squeeze happen, the share price would have spiked far higher than it is now.
We love the "free" market
As a college student who often pays for or pays others through Venmo for various expenses, the splitting/combining transactions seems super useful for not losing that information. Will definitely try it out!
Beeminder comes to mind when thinking about losing money when you don't hit your goals (goes to the company). I've been too afraid to try since I'm a student with loans, but maybe it's time.
