No, you can send them money first without notice in the same way, referencing your name/account number, and it’ll show up. They’ll just send you an alert to check and confirm it afterwards IIRC. If you’re low on margin, send the money now and worry about the follow up later. You can send a...

Classic works for me. Happy to hear what ppl like better in mosaic.

The company raised $5M by selling new shares to select investors. Good for those investors, good for the company, often bad for everyone else.

It’s like a partial covered call on a long stock. You own the stock, more or less, but you’re not quite sure how much. Less if the price rises, more if it falls. They’re dumb securities with a fake yield, priced in already, to trick retail. Hard pass.
