Waiting for 1099 to do taxes.

I made a total profit of 113$ from stocks and crypto and dividends total. Do I need to wait for my 1099 to do my taxes? I figured with such a low amount of profit. I could probably just report the $113 income and be done with the instead of waiting another three weeks to do my taxes.

Lump sum investing ideas, like to diversify

Posting a message from my friend who is not on reddit. He is in US from 2 years and is on work Visa and will stay for 4 more years.

His message: I have 25k cash and want to know where I need to invest. I am new to financial markets in US and I am here on a work Visa. Interested to explore multiple options. I am willing to learn as well if someone points me where to look at how to start financial planning. The horizon i look for is 4 years and after that planning to go back to my country. This is the first time I am thinking about saving money and till now I haven't saved much in my country as well.

Saving your profits?

What do you do to maximize your profits and use the profits instead of watching them go up and potentially go down and watch profits go away. I am a long term investor my dividends get reinvested. I have a stock broker and I know taking profits out you get taxed and I never know when to take my winnings and bank it and leave my initial investmet in the stock?

Hey, I'm new here and need advice!

I came here for advice on investment strategies other than putting money in my savings account that can help me accumulate money quickly. I'm 22 and want to be fairly well set up by the time I'm 30. I'm saving up for a car as of right now. Any suggestions are welcome!

Opportunity to earn from an untapped market

Hey there

I'm seeking a $300 investment for a companionship service providing personalized connections for individuals combating loneliness. In exchange, you'll receive a 5% equity stake in the business, entitling you to a percentage of the revenue for as long as it operates. Funds will be allocated to ads and ad revenue growth, capitalizing on a unique and growing market. By investing, you'll contribute to a socially impactful business making a positive difference in people's lives. If you're interested, let's schedule a call to discuss further.

Best regards, Samuel
