- Can a company buy back stocks when you leave?

- vote Realtor says companies giving money to new hires to buy a house This lady realtor told me that biotech companies have given new hires money for a down payment for a home in Bay area silicon valley which I guess was the starting bonus.

- vote What if: you could buy shares in a private company Where would you put your money? Hypothetically of course.
- vote Microsoft should buy all the other tech companies and form a union Microsoft in itself as of today is so diverse. It's like running 100s of mid sized companies.

- Idea: A way to buy things for different companies using 1 login Hi All Can I get some feedback on my idea: A site where users are able to purchase from different vendors.

- Is it a good investment technique to buy same big company stocks every month? Being a private company, I don't get any stock options. All the income I get is in cash. As I hear in Blind that a lot of folks get RSUs and earn a lot from them, I was thinking of ways I can try to catch up wrt TC. Today, I invest any left over money in the beginning of every month into Vanguard ET

Why don’t we all just get like a million people to just quit at the same time and make these companies be unoperational? Why should only a few men be so wealthy in this country? Elon musk, Gates, Jeff
- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th

- Once again, Index Funds prove their worth Far too often, we assume that past performance is a predictor for future performance and use brand value as the reason for buying stocks. If you asked a layman before the stock crashes, they would have said Netflix, Meta, Peloton & Shopify were solid stocks to buy. Diversification is important. Day
- #Thankful 🙏 After years of Twitter stock underperformance I’m #Thankful that Elon bought the company. If you haven’t yet heard all existing unvested RSUs become cash equivalents on same vest schedule at 54.20 / share which is a big jump from last refresher. Also no comp changes for one year. Given the likely
- vote Would you work for Elon Musk? After Musk’s proposal to buy Twitter I’ve seen a few MAGA lovers very excited as if, somehow, he will free Twitter from all “wokeness”. However, none of them currently work for Musk. They are all working on other “woke” companies. I just wonder why? Why don’t they just move to Tesla and enjoy all

- Missed the Stock Market bottom. What to do now? So it is clear that Corona won’t have any impact on the stock market. Facebook rose 40% in a month and so are other big tech companies. I lost money, sold, then didnt buy anything for the last 2 months thinking it will drop. But since earnings are pretty good, I think it is safe to say stocks will
- Betting against Coinbase COIN is at $122 with P/E ~8.5. Crypto trading isn’t going away and with good potential in every aspect of finance including e-commerce and even retail.

- Why do people spend 1.5M - 2M on a home Why are people ready to buy ~2M dollar home in Bay Area by putting > 500k down and then pay 5k-7k mortgage for next 30 years.

- Twitter conspiracy theory I think Jack Dorsey had it planned, he approached Elon to take over, chose a puppet CEO so he can stay out of it. It’s all too fast, why the rush from board to meet on a Sunday? It’s not that Elon is going to buy another company if Twitter didn’t respond.
- Is it better not to own home in Bay area? All these folks who bought home in Bay area will be enslaved because no matter how much profit they make, they don't want to loose on property taxes.

I see a lot of people rich suddenly and are buying 2M or 3M homes, where were these guys back in 2019 when the homes prices were below the peak price in 2018. How did many people become rich all of a sudden. The stock market didn’t go up muc
