Oh I forgot you’re all daytraders here. I don’t really know the dynamic around here because I’m not a regular. But honestly that was a stupid f*ck in answer. Hope it helped you come in your pants.

It doesn’t mean dick how the market opens.it’s how the market closes that matters. I think there’s more to come. 2 banks closed in two days? Sorry not a coincidence.

We’ll know more tonight….supposedly…… https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-12/fdic-auction-for-svb-said-to-be-underway-final-bids-due-sunday?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=twitter?sref=cv51C53O&leadSource=uverify%20wall

in this case, you might actually be right, if we get that black swan event and SPX FALLS TO 3000, that’s what we need. Weak hands gone. But prolly wait 2 days for things to settle. I’m guessing though that this isn’t a black swan event. But WTF do I know. I hope it is. Sitting with a crapload of...

on TD Ameritrade, you either put in for the next scheduled auction, or you search their inventory. Two different systems, two different sections of their website. Buying at auction, you know the exact yield after the auction takes place, from inventory you know immediately when you buy, actually...

thanks OT, I’m an old trader too, retired as a broker/Planner 3 years ago. The firms all offer something like $5,000,000 supplemental insurance. The problem is, when you look at what their total coverage is, it would never cover all the accounts with over SIPC. Does IB give you the ability to...

again, Lehman and Bear where also to big to fail. Like I said , I know it’s probably not necessary, but being retired, I don’t want to chance it as far as additional risk, I think if I choose the right firms, the added risk is pretty minimal. That’s why I’m looking at Fidelity and E-Trade...

That’s what they said about SVIB. And WAMU. And LEHMAN, and Bear Like I said, I know it’s probably overkill, but one thing I learned from 20 years in the business, is that anything is possible. in what way am I increasing risks.

Fed now between a rock and a hard place. They need to keep ratcheting up rates. But if SVIB turns out to not be the only bank with this problem stemming from bond losses, then they’ll need to add liquidity to the markets.

What’s their charting/trading platform like? Can you compare it to TD?

TD. I’m using ThinkorSwim

I know this is overkill 100%, but because of the suddenness of what happened with SVIB, I’m gonna move about 25% of my money to another broker, it will be my bond account. Maybe another account which is mostly buy and hold dividend stocks. I’m thinking either Fidelity or E*Trade. I’m not a day...

Soy, I’ll give you this, your f’n funny

You missed the point

Wow! The last 4 pages of this 6 page thread was nothing but a shit hurling clown show of insults. What a time sucker

How many hedge fund and institutional money managers to you think don’t know that or haven’t acted on it yet?

BMK answer is spot on. And in this post (quoted above) you answered your own question. If you just want to collect the interest, then you are a buy and hold bond investor. Buy treasuries, or corporates rated A, (or AA if that makes you feel more comfortable) and hold them to maturity. The day...

The advice to get a job is spot on. Corporate or working for a solid small business. While you’re doing it, trade on the side, look at it as a side business. That will get you out, socializing, and learning about yourself, your likes and dislikes, at the same time. You might find you enjoy...

I asked the question because I know traders that are strictly technical, fundamentals don’t matter to them. Other than day trading, that doesn’t make sense to me.

A real question might be, how much fundamental analysis do you want to do before taking a trade. This relates to the thread I started yesterday . https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ta-vs-fa.372615/ Personally, if I find a chart I like, and based on the chart it looks good, I then mostly...
