Du schreibst, dass **DU** gerne eine Abfindung erhalten würdest.
Das ist ja aber kein Wunschkonzert. Laufen denn gerade Restrukturierungsprogramme in denen MA aktiv angesprochen werden, bzw. sich aktiv melden können?
Unter der Annahme, dass das so wie von dir beschrieben klappt, ist es in Anbetracht der Pendezeit und allgemeinen Zufriedenheit im Job sicherlich kein schlechter Schritt.

Since you're already familiar with MA's, you may find success with this combination of MA's:
5 SMA
10 SMA
20 SMA
50 SMA
100 SMA
200 SMA
1000 SMA
Observe all kinds of timeframes and ticker symbols with this combination and you'll find very interesting patterns, good luck.

I keep a runbook of all of the scripts that I've built with AI to test strategies and claims in books and on social media. I have at least a dozen or more scripts testing price based strategies and claims. The main takeaway from the results captured in the runbook related to price levels were:
One verdict for all geometry. Horizontal pivots, prior-period/MA/round-number levels, Fibonacci retracements, and diagonal trendlines - every pure price-geometry construct tested is indistinguishable from a randomly placed line. Apparent "bounces" are (a) a zone-width catchment artifact and (b) ordinary mean-reverting microstructure near recent swing points. A drawn line needs coupling to commitment - volume at the level, a volatility regime, options gamma - to be anything but arbitrary. This sinks the geometric premise behind most chart-pattern / trendline / Fib content shared on social media.
My plan is to get ahold of tick level trade data and options data to test some of the other price level based strategies next.

Albert Einstein says: If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
this a basic rule to identify sincere people from salesmen/scammers anywhere.
regarding trendlines/MA's , sadly to say, they are used randomly, meaning: no 2 traders will agree on any trendline/MA.
on the other hand, measured lines/time-based MA's can be very accurate in future S/R.

Rotation, quality growth was all up big. V MA ISRG SPGI RACE and suchlike

I’d rather visit any neighborhood sub shop (North Shore MA) than a chain like Jerseys Mikes or Subway. Also, I’d rather invest in Chipotle if I was looking to invest in a fast casual chain. I started visiting again and portions are decent and price for a bowl is $10. Chipotle is dirt cheap when compared to sub and sandwiches. Even McDonalds is freaking $15 for a concoction of chemicals bound together by other chemicals.

Exactly my thoughts. Both great companies, no doubt, but MA really went on a downturn while V stayed fairly strong.
I - myself - added more MA shares.

Learning technicals will help. I sell when it's under the lower 30 day bollingerbands, and under 40 RSI. Wij Rate is 85% (also paper trading)
You can alsoo watch 100 and 200 MA. If they're trading upwards and the 100 is above the 200 it's a good sign.

I would bet most buyers of visa grabbed mastercard as well. MA was actually discounted to visa which I havent ever seen

For me semi's dropped as expected to their 50-day MA went back up to the 20-day MA and will likely find strong support at 50-day MA again. It has a higher chance of going up from her vs braking below. My guess for semiconductors we have entered into a trading range for 6 months to the next 1.5 years. We are currently at the low part of this range.

Sorry you’re going through all of that. 
Do you live in a state with paid family-medical leave? In Massachusetts, family bonding/care can be approved for 12 weeks. It’s paid by the state’s PFMLA with options to “top off” with workplace’s PTO or long term disability bank(if applicable). Some other states like California, Oregon, Washington, NY, NJ, a few more have their own versions of PFMLA too. Though I think CA, MA, NY and NJ are the top 4 PFMLA programs in terms length and payments. 

Silver is under its 50wk MA but there is no sign of demand slowing down ever

Your 50.5% isn't a bug, it's the market talking. For a diversified basket of liquid US equities predicted with common technical features on daily bars, \~50% is what an efficient market looks like empirically. Those features were arbitraged out years ago. The 70% IS → 50.5% OOS gap is actually a health check that your CPCV is working. If OOS had come in at 55-60% that'd be suspicious for leakage. The dramatic collapse means the model memorizes noise in-sample but can't find signal that generalizes, because it isn't there in that feature space.
Horizon matters more than label type here. 10-day triple barrier on liquid US equities is a window where every retail-visible feature has been mined by institutions with better data and faster infrastructure. AFML's event-bar argument is real but subtle. It's about sampling information more evenly, but if the underlying features are still 20-day MA of returns you haven't changed the feature space, just how you slice it.
The pivot isn't more models or tick data. It's a different feature space. Places retail can actually compete: earnings surprise vs consensus, options unusual activity + IV term structure, filing text sentiment (10-K/8-K), insider transaction disclosures, ETF creation/redemption imbalances. Event-driven features that don't need co-located infrastructure to exploit at retail cadence.
On the Citadel 51.5% point, they hit it through latency-sensitive stat arb between correlated assets with sub-millisecond execution and $0.001/share economics at scale. Retail at 100ms latency and retail commissions can't play in that game regardless of feature engineering. Trying to replicate it retail is the classic failure mode.
You haven't wasted 3 months. You've built a testing framework most retail devs don't have and empirically confirmed the easy features are dead. That's a real result, not zero output. Next step is a different feature space or asset class where retail has a structural edge (small-cap options mispricings, event-driven flows, crypto regime detection), not more models on the same daily bars.

>Ideally, we're talking about high-conviction plays with market caps under \~$150B that have clear potential to become future $1T megacaps.
If you had such high conviction that a $300-400b company today is going to $1t some time in the future, I'd invest in those companies today, rather than hope there is some big market crash to jump in. Of course it doesn't hurt to always have some dry power on the side at all times. If you are so confident, why not take the big gain, rather than hope for a bigger what if gain? What if it doesn't happen?
My holdings in MSFT AAPL MA VMW (now AVGO) back in 2008-09 went down over 50% from tops and today they are all up over 10x from my buy in.
My holdings in MDB NFLX SHOP NVDA all went down over 50% from tops in 2022-23 and they are now all up over 10x from my buy in.
Point is, I didn't get big gains because I got them during a big crash, I got big gains because I bought consistently growing companies and held them through bad macro events because micro was good. Look how far apart those dates are - big crashes don't come that often. Even if you got lucky and took advantage of a crash, what are you going to do, just wait for the next one? By that time the CAGR of the SP500 will have probably met or beat your return - this path requiring zero effort and no luck/timing.
During March 2020, I took advantage of buying EXPE MAR and TTD with dry powder. Okay TTD was looking great for awhile, now just barely positive. So sure, if you can take advantage of a big downturn that's great. But they are so rare you can't just wait for them or opportunity cost of time is going to nullify any short term big gain.

Die Frage ist was die Alternative ist. Du musst ja schon einer Firma die Möglichkeit geben dem MA ein Fahrzeug für seine Arbeit zur Verfügung zu stellen. Klar kann man vorschreiben, dass das eben getrennt werden muss. Dann haben wir haot viel mehr Fahrzeuge, die viel Mehr Parkplätze belegen und so. Hilft vllt den Herstellern kurzfristig, aber finde ich langfristig nicht richtig.
Sinnvoll fände ich persönlich, dass man Efahrzeuge auf 0,5 anhebt Hybrid auf 1 und Verbrenner auf 2 Prozent. Das ist IMHO zumutbar und führt nicht direkt dazu, dass alles doppelt angeschafft wird.
Das wäre vielleicht durchaus kontrovers.

Are you willing to Earn like a Doctor but live like an MA from 32-37 years old?

Es kommt auf die Nutzung an. Die KI meint, bei 0.25% entspricht das rund 25% privater Nutzung. 1% sind dann etwa 50% private Nutzung.
Ist die private Nutzung höher, dann entsteht durch den Firmenwagen ein steuerlicher Vorteil.
Der Handwerker oder Aussendienstler, Vertriebler, etc. soll das Ding ruhig so nutzen. Aber es gibt ja sicherlich nicht unerhebliche viele Fälle, in denen ein Wagen einfach schlicht nicht notwendig ist.
Dennoch wird der als Gehaltsbestandteil "verpackt", weil er in der Pauschalbesteuerung halt guenstiger kommt, wie wenn man den Bruttowert auszahlen wuerde und der MA dann die Karre selbst least.

Who cares, MA trades at 32x earnings and this trades at 8x.
