Ours has none

Euros, right?

She left about eight months before the match, but they still paid it out when the date came.   

that's good to hear, wm.

my employer matches half up to 6% (my contribution) every pay period but we also get an additional 5% because we used to have a cash-balance plan that they scrapped so now they just roll everything together with Fidelity. if i get one more promotion, my employer gives me 10% of my salary every pay period regardless of the amount i contribute (plus the 5% from the old cash-balance plan)   

and i work at a non-profit so some of you have shitty benefits.

this is part of the $80 mil process

That plan is more of a 28% annual returns for the rest of my life. I think any setbacks are going to kill me because the current principle is more than I will be adding in the future.

If you didn't have a bunch of buy orders executing at opening bell this morning, then welp, sucks for you guys!   

Apple opened at $94.80, well under the $125 average over the past month.
Netflix opened up at $88.75, well under the $120 average of the past month.

Get rich fellow wild wild cats!

Did you realize these gains yet or are you going to ride it higher?

I'm planning on letting it ride honestly...i'm in no hurry to get out at this point and I think that after the Fed decides what the heck they're going to do with the rates, we'll have a great 2-3 year boost. I'll probably sit on it for that time then figure out my next move.

those fees are ridiculous.

If you guys haven't already you should take advantage of this bounce and get out while you still can.

[ShellShock]

Hopefully you all had some $GOOGL shares today and saw that nifty jump after their results and buyback program release

if you've owned it for longer than like a week and less than 3 months, you are still down. (Didn't look, but I bet my range is close). Need full disclosure for the noobs when you share info like this.

I agree. If you're buying Google right now you're probably not a great investor though because it's at it's all time high and has been floating around the high for the last couple months. I've been holding onto my shares for a couple years now and i'm hoping that the momentum with this stock keeps up!

Hopefully you're moving up your stops pretty tight.

I usually move them once or twice per month. IMO, any more than that seems a bit excessive.
