Why is that? If I don't short shares, why do you think I couldn't handle trading? I made high 6 figures in 2020 without ever shorting shares.

Thanks guru for the only simple confirmation I was looking for.

I guess that's somewhat my question. I've never shorted stocks before and with this instance, I discovered that I could hold negative numbers of shares and I'm not sure how to profit from it and was hoping for an explanation. I mean... if suddenly I can make money when the momentum is down, it...

I use the TOS platform and was trading both AMC and NVDA at the same time. For faster execution I use the buy/sell buttons, only changing the number of shares as I trade. On a couple occasions, I mistakenly used the high number of shares trading AMC for selling NVDA, which left me with a high...

Yes, I can see how it could come to that.

Ok, fair enough, maybe selling as an investment isn't the best solution. The property is valued at $5M, growing about 10% a year. We wondered if one of the family member wanted to sell (after giving priority to the other family members), would they find a buyer... From your reply it seems...

So...buy NVDA before the split or after? Does it make any difference other than perhaps waiting for the excitement of the split to die down and return the share price back down some?

Doesn't matter what makes it rise ad long as you don't sit on it.

Wow...didn't have to take a test when I applied 2 years ago...

I refused to buy when it hit 515 after a relatively long time around 500... :banghead:

Whatever the reason. AMD can't seem to match that performance in the same category.

Just thought I'd kudos to a company with stellar performance in 2020 AND 2021.

Is this something that's done? A high value property is owned in common by several family members in California. Is there a market for selling a % of the property strictly as an investment?

I wasn't in trading then, but I bought a 2nd hand Porsche that I returned 9 months later for just about the same reasons. All it took was one dealer paid maintenance to instantly recognize that I was being fisted with a smile. Only people who can truly enjoy these cars are those who couldn't...

I'd say the outsized losses aren't an issue if they are compensated by even more outsized gains. Bottom line is what I care about and go out of my way to free my mind of the woulda, coulda, shoulda of the day.

I was trading the T-line , as you'd suggested I try based on the youtube link you sent. It's not as easy as the hindsight chart explanations (and newbie me, I was trading off the last price instead of the bid/ask...), but with a bit of practice, I can see making a little money doing this, even...

In the last year and half of trading I've set my buy/sell limit orders and thus never considered the spread because days could go by between one and the other. Over the last week I've started day trading very volatile stocks in the 8 to 30 price bracket moving 0.3 to 0.6 quickly and couldn't...

Yes, I think that also happens. Based in Singapore so the ping is a bit slow.

Right... but now I know what I'm doing wrong... I'm buying off the last price, which is obviously off a few cents from the bid or ask price... duh!
