Any thoughts on these two? I have cross-posted this to the ETF forum...

Some REITs invest directly in real estate, e.g., they are landlords, and they own shopping malls, or medical office buildings, or hotel properties, and the income is rent. Other REITs invest in debt instruments secured by real estate, i.e., mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. If you...

I would take a look at preferred stock. Works a lot like bonds, even though it is called stock. Better yields than junk bonds, with roughly the same level of risk. Many portfolio managers consider preferred stock to be in the fixed income category of assets. Preferred stock issued by solid...

Buying an option is not analogous to "renting" the stock. When you own an option, you do not have voting rights, and you do not collect dividends. You cannot sell the stock. And on the expiration date, you do not "give back" something that you "rented" or "borrowed." I'm not sure where you got...

The author of the article is arguing that mutual funds can close and refuse to take money from new investors. ETFs cannot do this. And the author thinks that closing a fund can prevent losses like those that occurred in ARK.

Most of the cited text from the Optum website has been copied or paraphrased from IRS Publication 969, which I have attached. The IRS has not updated this publication for 2021 or 2022. But the basic rules have not changed. If you choose to read this publication, you need to be aware that was...

This is an interesting article. I have to admit that I am commenting before I have even finished reading the article. The problem of how a large influx of new cash can create difficulties for an ETF is very interesting. But I am trying to figure out whether this sort of thing could potentially...

So you have found a way to borrow money at an interest rate of 0.5%, and then turn around and lend that money at an interest rate of 1.7%. What could possibly go wrong? Ummm... let's see... What if the interest rate at which you are borrowing suddenly goes way up, but the interest rate at...

LMFAO That is soooo obviously not a real forex broker in the USA. I called the contact phone number, and after about seven rings, I got a robotic greeting that said something like "I'm sorry I can't take your call, please leave a message, and I will return your call." The greeting did not even...

Most sane conservatives capitulated years ago to the party of Trump

I've never been served by a robot in the USA. I'm not saying they don't exist. And I don't live in NYC, Los Angeles, London or Tokyo. But I've never seen a robot server. I would much prefer to be served by a competent human server than a machine. And I generally do not like "self-serve" style...

To further answer your original question... If you get an early assignment, i.e., before the day of expiration, in most cases, there is usually not a lot of risk, because your potential loss is still limited by the long put in your example. If your account doesn't have enough money to hold the...

It's not common for an option to be exercised/assigned when it is out of the money. If you are close to expiration, e.g., one or two days away, and the option is out of the money by only five or ten cents, then it might happen. If it is the afternoon of expiration, and the stock is trading...

This is an interesting read, from early 2018: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/jan/19/post-work-the-radical-idea-of-a-world-without-jobs And here, from 1992, is Mr. Pink, explaining why he doesn't tip:

Okay, so is your securities license active? Do you have a day job working for a broker? BMK

What exactly do you mean by "working as a streamer"? You are going to be live streaming... ummm... what? Investment advice? Trading recommendations? Commentary on why a stock is going up or down? Or something else? And I think your original post is missing at least one word, possibly more...

You cannot get a credit card or debit card "directly from the card company." MasterCard and VISA do not establish card accounts for individuals. A prepaid card is simply a type of debit card. It has different rules. It is usually not tied to a traditional checking account. You cannot write...
