    Loaning out stocks I own to the broker (or someone else)...What can go wrong??

    Loaning out stocks I own to the broker (or someone else)...What can go wrong??

    At Fidelity they offer this...I am sure Schwab offers it too. It looks like steady income...But what are the downsides to doing this? If the other side goes bankrupt, would my stock be tied up in the courts?? I can see the benefits of the income (with stocks I do not wish to option). Can you...

    Selling Options for passive income by Robert Kiyosaki

    I read a couple of his books. They are good and basic...Follow Rich Dad, not Poor Dad and you should be good. If you have skills (and common sense) you may want to wait for a recession. Then buy the worst house in the best neighborhood...Turn it into a rental. You do the sweat labor (you can...

    when orders are sent from broker to market makers or to the nasdaq what info is sent?

    Very old, boring, retail trader/investor here. I'm going to share what I have seen (and asked both brokers in different ways), what is happening. I have accounts (including Roth IRAs) at Schwab and Fidelity. First Schwab...They are a "free" broker who makes good money from MMs for PFOF. They...

    Can we talk powerwalls (storage) for solar...

    Too tired to think right now...Poor sleep night. Didn't look at them all. I know Cnet, they seem to be insightful for other (computer/tech) things. I'll take a look later with a clear head...

    Can we talk powerwalls (storage) for solar...

    I can't get an honest answer. It use to be Tesla powerwalls were (are) the best. They cost the most and were the best value. This was about 3-4 years ago. I look to see if this is still true. But, everyone comes to the front of the Google search, to try and sell me. For a car, I could look...

    You are right he/she did say solo... I looked at some of his/her earlier threads from a few years back. This thread made me think he was new to investing... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/vix-futures-question.353789/ They could be a professional (highly educated), but not...

    Borrowing from a solo 401k

    A couple of things...Are you fully funding your 401k? With the company match, it can be easy money that you don't even see. I know you are limited with the choices of investments, but find the one (or two) that you think will be winners. Example, go from a money market fund to an index fund...

    Renewed a treasury at Schwab...5.56% yield to date (April 25, 2024). I am beginning to put the maturity date of our treasuries on the calendar. I hate that Schwab uses the float (or a diddly/squat checking account), while you wait to make a move... Carry on...

    Instead of having the service tech picking up the robot (for service)...Tug (or the robot) drives/walks into the truck to get serviced. https://aethon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/healthcare_box_video.mp4 PS Unless you're Luke stuck in the middle of nowhere (Tatooine/Modesto), working on...

    Bottom fishing...Amazon

    Don't know if this is a rabbit hole (on what I envision)...I also see a real driver in the truck (last mile). I can see a robot grabbing the package, delivering it to the front doorstep, recording the delivery, going back into the truck, and grabbing the next package for delivery. The robots...

    Bottom fishing...Amazon

    I should have been more clear. I don't think drones will catch on...Too much crime and liability. On the self driving truck, I am not talking about the last mile. What I was thinking of is (example), a self driving big rig going from a distribution center outside of Reno to a distribution...
