Legitimately did my first auto detailing client today on my off day š¤£. Asking my former tech (under-employed, super tech who is beyond a talented tech) if she wants to run my business (let her handle bookings and operation; I've got all the assets and book keeping down; we've both got word of mouth/clientele). I could seriously do this when I retire living in a weather sensitive 4 season area (always something to push)
Learn stock picking. In my view, far less risky than speculating in crypto where intrinsic value is difficult if not impossible to estimate. Stocks have quarterly reports where you can count on proving your thesis to be right or not and the market will reward or punish you for it. Whereas in crypto, who knows when/why a price rises or falls except based on the unpredictable whims of the collective psyche?-Buy some VTI every paycheck. It's up 19% YTD.
-Next time crypto crashes, buy some BTC, ETH and ADA. They are already up 50-260% since July.
-Buy an investment property for passive income.
-Consider an ice cream truck. Everybody loves ice cream.

Btw the primary reason I stumbled onto the pharm subforum is because Iām researching GoodRxās stock (GDRX). Been on my watchlist since its IPO last year. Looking to me as a potential good swing trade to open a position on next week. I read a pharm thread about goodrx posted in 2020, can anyone explain how they get away with compelling pharmacies to accept them at a loss? Are pharmacies obligated to accept goodrx?Learn stock picking. In my view, far less risky than speculating in crypto where intrinsic value is difficult if not impossible to estimate.

Below is an explanation i found on reddit. Accurate?
āpharmacies are contracted with numerous PBM's(pharm benefit mngr)
PBM negotiates price with manufacturer
PBM then negotiates price with pharmacy
Every pharmacy has a different PBM price
Pharmacy charges cash price as the highest PBM price, this can be a difference of 10x the lowest price
GDRX partners with PBMs to sell at the lowest partnered PBM price.
PBM's agree because otherwise someone is paying U&C price(cash price) which is good for the pharmacy, but gives no cut to the PBM.
Essentially GDRX and PBM make money, pharmacy doesnt.
This is why pharmacists hate GDRX bc they cant charge their idiot cash price which is where they make their moneyā

You are confused. Once upon a time, āintrinsic valueā mattered. These days just about every single stock is trading far above its fundamentally sound price. Stocks are so grossly overvalued they are just as speculative as cryptos. Have you ever heard of a utility crypto?
And thank you for descending from on high to visit our lowly forum while search for information on your IPO. We are graced by your presence.
āLearn stock pickingā - wtf - have you not heard that the only stock you ever need to pick is GameStop and/or AMC. Diamond hands b****.
lol @ āstock pickingā. I find it funny when people talk like they are some sort of authority on the subject. Your better off picking out 3-4 letters from banana grams to advise in āstock pickingā
Quick question - what is an, āidiot cash priceā

Just be the top 0.1% of Onlyfans "content creators" bro

This is a great question, Owle. My guess is pure speculation and is likely as good advice as someone who thinks the exact opposite. I recognize that everyone who is investing in financial markets, in their current state, are simply contributing to the ever expanding bubble which will inevitably pop at some point (this is inevitable - just the same after a bubble pops you can inevitably expect the bubble to start to grow again).
With that said - it is my opinion that the āthingā that is driving this bubble is the feds policy that essentially allows the injection of massive quantity of dollars to be added to the system to keep it going. Reverse repos are absolutely through the roof, interest rates are practically non-existent, and our social stimulus programs rely entirely on creation of dollars and inflating the currency.
So - when the feds current policy becomes unsustainable (likely due to inflation) this bubble will likely pop. I am watching for a reversal of these current policies to mark the āpopping of our current bubbleā. When this happens Iām selling out and I may even try shorting the S&P for a season or two (recommend Proshares short S&P).
Most importantly - anyone who pretends to know they have a grip on when these bubbles will pop are likely full of it. For me - aside from some sort of terrible world event - Iām watching interest rates and the phasing out of social stimulus programs. A wild guess is next spring/summer (especially if the child tax credit monthly payments get axed).
For now - I buy the dip and keep riding the wave.

Which stocks are you in? Got any good picks?
No side hustle per se. I work another pharmacist job per diem -- $68/hr. Easy money and my former workplace
Sometimes I see people in high wage jobs doing menial side hustles like selling Rodan & Fields. I always wonder why they don't just pick up an extra shift.
The lumber shortage is over. Prices have come way down recently.You could probably make a lot more now with the lumber shortage. People charge crazy prices and customers pay.

I suppose to some people it is better to sell face lotion vs spending another minute in a retail pharmacy.
This is the point that I am at. I would literally rather sell Mary Kay rather than work retail (mostly the principle of it). There are a lot of successful men that sell Mary Kay.

I had a classmate who did one of those MTMs that requires you to pay them up front for all the products to distribute to your ponzi group. A few months later they tagged everyone in the group asking for the money they owed LoL. So embarrassing.

You are right - it is freaking embarrassing. I become embarrassed for the person pitching a MLM scheme and the pressure they place on you to say āyesā to their questions.
What is even more embarrassing is when they find other people that sell MLM garbage (IE Mary Kay MLM victim invites a scentsey candle MLM victim) to each other. They all feel like they owe something to each other because they got the other person to buy the cheapest thing on their sales list - it becomes this ruminating cycle of buying from each other to show support but all of the profit goes to the upper levels.
Apparently you can buy dildos in some MLM group these days. They all sit around talking about which one works the best.. I suppose it would be interesting to be a fly on the wall at that āpartyā.

LMAO this is exactly what happened with my wife. Her friend sold Rodan and Fields and my wife was pressured to buy it from her, even though it made her skin worse. The crap was something ridiculous like $100/mo. This friend posted ads nearly everyday, I stopped following her. Kept pitching about how life changing it was in order to recruit more people to join the ponzi scheme. I think she stopped selling after a year or two.
Those Tupperware parties where they sell dildos instead are called "passions" parties. My wife was invited to one and said I would be her +1 LoL, we had no clue what a passions party was.

How many dildos did they want you to buy?
Geezeā¦. I dunno - Iām kinda intimidated by them. Maybe itās just me but I donāt like the great big giggly ones.
It was weird. I think they wanted everyone to buy two . I went to a marykay and bought nothing. Oh well. There's a pediatrician selling Arbonne.How many dildos did they want you to buy?

I have owned a grand total of three pair of figs I think. Maybe two. I actually really like them but I canāt justify that kind of expense to myself.Did anyone invest in FIGS, the expensive scrubs? I guess only poor students and new grads buy them.

I have a few sets but honestly I prefer Cherokee Infinity.
I have never, in my entire life, worn scrubs. However I am curious about them.
Do they feel like you are naked when wearing them?

I think the brand/fit definitely makes the difference. The figs I have are fairly form-fitting, so they're a lot less comfortable than my Cherokee Infinity. Those are more like PJs.I have heard people claim itās like wearing PJs but to me it just feels like wearing comfortable clothing.
That seems like a fine line to be differentiating. Then again I don't own PJs so maybe they're more comfortable than I'm thinking.I have heard people claim itās like wearing PJs but to me it just feels like wearing comfortable clothing.
I would feel like the man if I wore some super loose scrubs and some leopard male-thong underwear with them. Then just walk around all day feeling super confident. Maybe accessorize with a gold chain around your neck..

I bought shares in November of 2021. I have a percentage of money that I put into what I would consider ālong term growth stocksā and lulu was one.Brother in laws gf was obsessed 5+ years ago. With I bought shares. When did you buy ?
I am also super long term bullish on anything manufactured home related. Check out a company called Cavco (CVCO).

I dont care who feels what about the āReddit crowdā and the market shenanigans they cause - all I know is I have experienced the largest cash explosion of my life investing in amc. First time I have ever gone from 0 to 800% in the matter of weeks.

I concur. If you traded like me, you would have bought the dip at 42 and sold at 32.

In swing trades - I force myself to give it some time. Whenever I think, āright nowā I always wait a bit. Seems to workā¦
I mentioned theta as a crypto once. Check out that price action over the past few weeks - I held through everything and missed a huge swing opportunity last night. No biggie Iāll catch the next one
I do some consulting work on the side.
Consulting firms that work on pharmacy operations/compliance projects would hire me as their subject matter expert and I basically am their "go to guy" whenever they have questions about pharmacy arena.
I would tag along for site visits (they pay for your trip + meals) and it really is interesting to see how other pharmacy departments operate.
Work isn't always available since it's project by project based but hourly rate is high and pretty much no stress as an independent contractor role.
