My old broker (maybe 15 years ago) said that after hours market trades were made if a broker (examples; Morgan Stanley, Schwab, Fidelity) had an "in house" match up of buyers and sellers. They were the market maker and made the trade after hours if both sides had open positions during after...

Shares in grain trading firms fell Wednesday amid growing concern the Trump administration’s tougher trade policies will provoke China to punish U.S. farmers. Shares of Bunge Ltd., the world’s largest soybean processor, declined 1.3%, while Archer Daniels Midland Co. fell 0.8% after The Wall...

Know when you are out of your league... Forget those startups Google, Facebook, and Amazon...AOL will be here long after those losers are gone!! Never trade in Puerto Rico (electricity)...

Was it from your thread...How do YOU plan to avoid the next 2008 crash? QQQ??

You may need an attorney to figure those out. I thought doctor/dentist were S-Corp...But I may be wrong. Just wondering if a trading broker will allow an S-Corp or LLC to open accounts?? If I was Schwab or Fidelity I would not touch one of those in the option field...Just me. You may want to...

Two things to think about...# 1. Braces Dental and eye (besides medical) comes into play for the whole package of benefits. Have you considered funding an IRA or SEP IRA this year? I funded IRAs and Keoghs over the years. The Keogh has been pretty much replaced by the SEP IRA now. During...

I'm thinking Mr. Burns pays to get Mr. Smithers on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Something happens to Smithers...Can't do it. Homer (having bought a BA and MA from some online university) gets the job. He meets with President Trump. He then goes before congress for conformation. Of...

Just a copy and paste I saw online. I know margins are much tighter, but it looks a lot like today... As people became comfortable buying stocks, speculation became comfortable, too. When stories of overnight fortunes were reported in the news, regular folks wondered: Why not me? As the...

Was thinking more of what you were saying. You seem to be saying..."I want to preserve capital and still profit greatly from a major bear market". Isn't there always an inverse relationship between risk and return in almost anything? I could put you into some Puerto Rican or Venezuelan bonds...

Put your money on the sidelines...Money market. Wait for the Fed to meet at least 3 times. Two of those three times should each have a 1/4% rise. Put money in a CD...Repeat!! When you say..."can this market get any worse", come back in.

Take with a grain of salt...2 easy option ideas. QQQ $173.16 Buy QQQ on a dip...Real money (no margins). Do a covered call for Jan 2020 at about $200. If the market flops (30% drop) write another call in 2020 for way out of the money...Waiting for the market to return (if it's a long bear...

I do covered calls (sell to open) at Schwab...Many would say this is the most conservative option out there. When the option gets bought, Schwab will cover their back side. They will say (in the execution page), potential loss all...The total price of the underlying stock minus the option...

No idea??

I've often wondered what happens when someone has a stroke (heart attack), and is in the hospital? It will take a while for their power of attorney (if they have one) to clear out their trades. If they die, it will take awhile for the estate to get the brokerage to change over the names and...

Don't know. I know this happened... To prevent a stock market meltdown, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq did not open for trading on Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001. When American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. and...

Being on this site for a few weeks has opened my eyes... It seems like there are a lot of "Comic Book Guy" type of people here...Really sad.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac?? AIG???

My brother had my mom (widow) in Thornburg Mortgage...Great yield. I told him to get her out of it, just in time. I knew there was something fishy going on with so many loans out there.

Tandy Corp., My Space, AOL...What could possibly go wrong? Or was it those great concept tech companies...With no earnings??
