    Chromebooks query

    I own 2 Chromebooks, one of which has had updates discontinued for over 4 years. It still works fine for almost all websites. However, any website that uses the latest HTML 5-specific features can have problems. The updates are coming from Google, not the manufacturers. Google simply does not...

    Rethinking stock picks; theft, debt, labor intensive...

    https://tinyurl.com/45nsdprb The top three charging stations: EVGO is down 57% over 2 years, CHPT is down 67% and BLNK is down 82%. For comparison, SPY is down 0.3%. I think you simply picked the wrong sector to invest in and are looking for someone else to blame. Do some basic research...

    First Republic Lost $100 Billion in Deposits in Banking Panic

    Not an immediate problem, since the Federal Reserve, through its new Bank Term Funding Program, can lend FRC up to the full face value of their mortgages or bonds (the previous program only allowed lending up to the market value). Now FRC just has to hope the mass withdrawals subside, and that...

    My experience: GOOG from powerhouse to worthless in 2 weeks.

    Well Google knows absolutely everything about me. My cellphone is a Google Pixel, my cellphone provider is Google Fi, my email is Gmail, my TV streamer is YouTubeTV which is owned by Google, and I use Google Docs to create documents.

    Owning a stock both as long as well as short

    On numerous occasions in the after market I have desperately wanted to short a stock or ETF, but could not because the shares were Hard To Borrow, or there was no tick down to allow the short sale. Having long shares in one of my accounts would have been desirable. The after market is not like...

    Owning a stock both as long as well as short

    I had never heard of threshold securities, and had to Google it. How does your statement apply if the OP has already shorted the shares using a different brokerage account than the long shares?

    Owning a stock both as long as well as short

    Other than trying to dodge taxes as @RobertMorse stated, I can see one other purpose for simultaneously holding a stock both long and short. If a stock has very few shares available to short, and you expect a major announcement, after market close, that could drastically move the stock price...

    Pension age is raised 2 years in France, now Paris is burning.

    Really? The NY Times which is pretty liberal has had it on their front page for days. Maybe you shouldn't be getting your news from sites such as https://choiceclips.whatfinger.com/2023/03/27/france-burns-what-the-hell-is-going-on-deep-state-media-globally-is-hiding-it-all/ that features...

    Gammon explains Wokenomics & the Banking Crisis :D

    I second that sentiment. Now if I could only get rid of the SIVB stock that I had bought as one of my hedges against a big KRE short.

    How Goldman’s Plan to Shore Up Silicon Valley Bank Crumbled

    Looks like you just skimmed the article instead of reading the whole (admitted long) text. SVB would gladly have paid the depositors pretty much whatever they wanted to not withdraw their funds, or deposit new money. That would have kept SVB in business. SVB did sell a good chunk of their...

    KPMG Gave SVB, Signature Bank Clean Bill of Health Weeks Before Collapse

    I am guessing that KPMG followed standard accounting practice when they gave the banks a clean bill of health. However, if the big auditing firms now decide that banks with too much assets tied up in long term bonds are at risk, and fail to give them clean audits, there will be more bank runs.

    Grayscale vs SEC

    GBTC is trading at a 35% discount to NAV not only because they are not full ETF, but also because they refuse to provide an audit proving that they have the number of Bitcoins that they claim to have...

    Coinbase Pauses Conversions Between USDC and U.S. Dollars as Banking Crisis Roils Crypto

    FDIC insurance means nothing in SVB's case, because unlike the big retail banks, the vast majority of SVB's deposits were from institutions with well over $250K FDIC deposit insurance limit. And institutions tend to act much faster to withdraw their cash than retail depositors.

    Looking for new broker

    A bit of nitpicking, but by having your money in several brokers you will be increasing the risk of one of them going belly up. However, you will be decreasing the risk of losing all your money from one broker failing.

    Silicon Valley Bank...People can not unwind their positions??

    I seem to remember that the price of oil futures was negative a couple years ago and that many holders were unable to unwind their positions. This sort of disaster can happen with any type of investment.

    SPY versus SPLV and RSP

    Okay @SoyUnGanador and @ph1l, I get it now. All previous Adjusted Close Prices are adjusted downwards so that it appears as if the stock price has increased by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. Clever.

    SPY versus SPLV and RSP

    I am confused. Yes, finance.yahoo.com adjusted Closing stocks prices take into account dividends and splits, but how do you factor into the Returns calculations that the stock/ETF has paid out a dividend? Do you also download a dividend history and add that back in to the calculations?
