Question - short-term capital gains tax punishment on stock with multiple purchases

So I know us "poors" (with less than 25k in our portfolio) are punished for selling a stock within a year of investing.

But what I don't understand is how this works if I've bought a stock both more than 1 year ago and less than 1 year ago.

Let's say I bought 20 shares of $VOO over 1 year ago, and then 30 shares of $VOO 6 months ago.

Do I have to wait another 6 months to sell any? Can I sell 20 shares safely? Is there s

Best short ideas

The idea is to long oil/gas and short tech and goldminers starting here, but all short idea are very welcome.

Current short ideas so far:

•NEM (Newmont goldmining) is valued at x100 last year free cashflow (x37 average last 6 years), and they have 12.5Bn in net liabillities (total liabilities minus current assets). Imo, gold will decline this year as the 10 year yield rise in step with Fed-rates and energy prices.

Is Shopify ($SHOP) stock a buy? - Shopify's profitability could be boosted by rising subscription fees.

Management has some big questions to answer in a few weeks.

Investors have some big questions heading into the next earnings update from Shopify ($SHOP 1.44%). In early May, the e-commerce platform specialist will reveal whether sales volume trends are stabilizing after slowing for several quarters. Shopify might also show progress toward shoring up the company's finances following a tough year of losses in 2022.

Let's take a closer look

BRK-A vs BRK-B

BRK-A is at $496,000 and BRK-B is at $321. BRK-A is supposed to be 1500 times of BRK-B with no difference in voting rights. Right now, BRK-A is at 3% more than what it is supposed to be. Question to the experts here is, will BRK-B appreciate 3% to match its A or the other way around. If it is former, there is an easy 3% for takings.

how is your 401k doing? i just found out that the 401k plan i’ve been funding with every paycheck for the last 5 years, is down 4% all time

i’m trying to gauge how mad i should be. i’m definitely going to investigate and figure out the fee structure and how the funds are invested. it seems almost criminal for it to be down that much all time. should i manage it on my own? should i pull it all out and use it in a down-payment for a house? or should i hope that the idiots managing it figure out what they’re doing?

edit: i might be confused. it’s a vanguard fund and it’s 100% in vanguard shares.

Question on company release news

Appears to be some workflow for companies to release news through various news outlets. Would imagine the news has to be submitted some time to those outlets prior to it being received by the public. Does anyone know what the time gap is? If even a few mins, appears to be an opportunity for some people to trade in front of the news (realizing it'd be illegal).

SP500 dividends question

Sorry for the potentially dumb question but i wanted to clarify something about the SP500 dividends which i couldnt by just googling.

I read up that the historical dividend yield of SP500 is 1.3%. My question is this annual or quarterly?

Do i get?
1000USD + 1.3% = 1013USD?
or
1000 USD + 4x1.3% = 1052 USD?

Also - if i reinvest my dividends straight back into the stock does the compounded interest get
