re: Best company to open a Roth IRA with
Posted by thunderbird1100 on 6/13/25 at 8:36 am
People are very down on robinhood here overall here due to the whole fiasco from a few years back with meme stocks but I've used them for a long time now and think the perks on transferring retirement accounts in (3% match on the amount transferred if gold member) and the match they provide on new IRA contributions (3%) is pretty awesome
$7k/year matched at 3% is $210 extra into the IRA (And yes it's on top of your $7k contribution)
IF you have a fairly large 401k to transfer in 3% match will go a long way there too
I have an old ROTH IRA at etrade I'm contemplating transferring in which has about $15k in it. Would be another $450 they would match on that transferring it in

re: Ethan Frey...Is the plan for him to take over for JJ at 1st??

Unless he doesn't care for the college experience, he would be best served coming back and earning a position.
One year as a DH isn't enough to assume MLB GMs are salivating. Some guys are leaving regardless of where they are drafted. I sincerely hope he is getting good advice.
He's been flying up draft boards, mocked in Top 4/5 rounds by a lot now. Which means a signing bonus north of half a million. If thats what happens (getting offers over half a mil), we probably cant compete with that.

Is Cam Johnson going to stay at OU? Dude had a pretty disappointing season starting as a weekend starter to barely seeing any action at all by mid-season.

Are we just assuming Frey is gone?? I feel like there's a greater than 50% chance he's back and I would expect him to start at 1st if so.
It would be a surprise him coming back, he's a junior and loses all leverage. All depends on what kind of offers he gets from MLB teams but I would imagine its significant enough he would sign over what maybe he could make here in NIL for a year.
Frey is #130 overall right now on MLB.com's board which would put him in the more than half a million range in terms of signing bonus
We cant compete with that IMO

Speaking of offsets, I'm getting really tired of the touting of very small ($5-10/mo) benefits to varying subscription services that don't rollover as a justification for increased annual fees.
This is becoming the new normal and its awful. Didnt AMEX start all that crap?
Oh here's $120/yr of credits to something you dont really use as an added benefit to us hiking the fee by only $100....btw cant use $120 at once, it's only $10/mo actually :lol:
Infuriating

They are as bad a pitching and fielding team as we’ve seen all year. They were awful. I don’t understand how you can be so good at one thing and neglect every other part of the game. They literally couldn’t catch pop flies. They field like a bad high school team.
They weren't near as bad fielding over the season as they were this postseason. They had 13 errors over their last 5 games. They had 56 errors in the prior 55 games to that, so about 1 a game. To have nearly 3 a game in the last 5 all postseason games is brutal.

Not to take away from WVU, but eyanson clearly didnt have his best stuff either. The first HR was great hitting but a lot of what followed was a lot of mistakes from Eyanson, walked more guys than he used to as well.
The heat/humidity affected most pitchers who had to stay out there, you could all see them kind of hit that wall, especially when out there throwing 20+ pitches in an inning.

Mods got to clean up these burner duplicate accounts of people to troll on. This account was first used a few times back in Aug 2024, then ghosted until December, then ghosted again until now. 30 some posts in almost a year all bundled in 3 very clear groupings

Pretty crazy to make it 44 times between the 2 of them and have 1 title to show for it, and that was almost 70 years ago

WVU has to be asking themselves why we shelved a reliever throwing 101 this late in a game out of hand :lol:

They’ve done it every offseason he’s been there. I guess you can do that when you never have to worry about playing in a super.
They did not come close to this kind of pitching talent in the last portal go around, they only had 1 top 100 overall pitcher in 2024 cycle. Another guy just inside the top 150 and then their 3rd pitcher was ranked outside the top 300

Eyanson doesn't give up HRs and has given up one to a guy with 4 on the season and 1 on the season entering today

Reaves hasn't played a ton but he's got to be up there on the team in loud outs
