the factory poly finish on both engineered and LVP products are far superior to anything that can be performed on site. 3 coats of a high-quality oil-based poly applied during a professional refinish wouldn't get you anywhere near the durability of a factory finish.

I'd imagine that if the bank isn't issuing a 1099-INT that they will still issue a 1099-MISC to the IRS but won't send one to you. I don't think so. If someone issues a 1099, they are supposed to send it to both you and the IRS. 1099-MISC has a $600 threshold that must be be met before the issuance...

I would like to point out that the damage remote learning has caused many schools (public) will not magically disappear next year.

How are people handling these bonuses when it comes tax time? I got over $2k in bonuses in 2020 and while most have provided me a 1099 which includes the bonus amount as interest earned, Citi has not.

Sorry, no matter how many times I try, I just can't bring myself to the line of thinking that debt is a "negative bond" that needs to be included as part of the asset allocation. Debt is a liability not an asset. To each their own. Out of curiosity, if you don't think of debt as a negativ...

I think everybody is free to have an opinion on a stock. Sure, opinion is fine. However, how and when someone with influence expresses their opinion matters to some people, like the SEC.

I’d prioritize the 457b before the 403b. This is because of the reason you stated.

It is possible that the investment options in one are far...

I have not run into any such restriction on high limit orders at Vanguard. For example, at least once I've placed a sell limit order more than three times the current price.

Sure, the hedge funds got caught with their pants down and are paying through the nose. Greedy? Sure. Foolish for getting over-exposed? Of course. But they aren’t dumb.
