Just checked online. The Chase Sapphire comes with 40,000 bonus points if you spend $3000 in first 3 months, which is worth $500. The points can be redeemed for "Travel Rewards" whatever that is. I assume airline tickets. Doesn't mention any cash back rewards. Cool thanks for the tip! Loo...

Not sure what the right forum to post this is. The Chase banks in GA are giving $200 to people opening a new checking account. On the site it says $125 so not sure if it is different for other states. After reading the fine print all you have to do is maintain $1500 for 6 months to avoid all fees, a...

I don't know if what you saw was for one year or not. Each fund might have a loss or a gain. For both loss and gain, it could be long term (you've held those shares more than a year) or short term (you've held those shares for less than a year). These things are taxed differently, so you want to kn...

I'll do some reading on the links guys. Like I said the 401k form work. It is my fathers company, since I am related it counts as an owner contributing. I was told that if I contribute it will become to top heavy. Literally none of our employees contribute to the 401k program (small company).

This sounds like there is a 401k, but they won't let you participate. Is that what you mean?

This is correct

Thank you every one for the replies. So many posts to quote! :D I think I edited all the original info in my OP ShowMeTheER-I think your right about selling the expensive cost funds. I didn't know if it worked out to my advantage with capital gains tax etc? They were through Suntrust bank when I was...
