    Anyone trade HYG?

    Fed said they were "also going to support junk".

    Are we in a stock market bubble?

    Have read that with the market decline but with earnings expectations, the markets are once again at "all time highs" of P/E. With earnings expected to PLUNGE... and for how long nobody knows... I wonder if the market players will ignore earnings and keep supporting the price with their total...

    Why do people use Tradingview if your Broker let's you use Charts for free?

    Hmmm.... can't discuss TA with you as you obviously know nothing about it.

    Why do people use Tradingview if your Broker let's you use Charts for free?

    You presume much, Grasshopper. That line of thinking will not take the pebbles from my hand, so it is not time for you leave-- Master Po.

    Why do people use Tradingview if your Broker let's you use Charts for free?

    Personally, I think you should get more into TA. Regardless of others' opinions... "Price TA" is the real deal. It reveals when "the market" is buying/selling. NOTHING is more important than getting in tune with that. .

    Blame the VAXers, they have put us all at risk!

    I support "total 100% suppression of illegal immigration across our borders"... regardless.... even if it means "arrest/shoot violators on sight". Look.. if you don't have secure borders, you don't have a country. DUH! For many years we've had a policy of legal foreign immigration, which...

    Where did you get THAT notion?

    Blame the VAXers, they have put us all at risk!

    Yes... at every turn the Police will be asking for "your papers".... just like the Nazi Gestapo. C19 is the current "excuse". If that doesn't stick, there will soon be another.

    Blame the VAXers, they have put us all at risk!

    Search the web. Many stories about the harm induced by vaccines... toxic metals (especially mercury and aluminum)... and faux vaccines which contain NONE of the antibody-inducing components they claim (while still containing toxic metals). Personally, I think vaccines are the new wave to "cull...

    ‘everything that is wrong with America’

    Oh, and they burn them ALIVE... so all of their pain as they die releases adrenalin into their system... say it makes the meat "more tasty".

    How do wash sales work for investing after daytrading it?

    You didn't probably didn't really lose it. Even if you entered every trade by hand, the IRS likely catches all of that and makes the appropriate adjustment for you. Same if your tax preparer (like TurboTax) downloads the info from your broker.

    How do wash sales work for investing after daytrading it?

    Isn't exactly the IRS's money when they take if from you and then give it back...

    How do wash sales work for investing after daytrading it?

    Yes, but the losses get added to the cost basis of later purchases, thereby reducing the taxable gain on those (equal to the disallowed wash sale losses). Bottom line, maybe shift a bit of tax from one year to the next, but overall no net financial impact.

    How do wash sales work for investing after daytrading it?

    Agree. I see wash sales as a moronic, no value, time waster.... should be abolished. I'd love to see the explanation as to why wash sales are still on the book.

    Klarman Made $1 Billion Hedging Markets. He Still Lost Money

    Hedging is NOT a "no-brainer". Sometimes BOTH sides of it will go against you.

    The Federal Reserve: The only game in town

    So that's it? A major function of the CBs is to keep anyone from feeling a pain when they stub their toe? Recessions used to be times of "rebalancing"... "healing".... where weakness was cleaned from the markets and strength flourished. (Kind of like draining the pus from an abscess. Now...

    The Federal Reserve: The only game in town

    Where have you been? The "point"... Fed Only Game In Town? How's having the BOJ being the only game in town working out for Japan? Anything we might learn from that? Might we expect similar here? (You're not going to make points with me if you argue like my wife!)
