    Did you have naive trader cloud cuckoo land expectations

    I traded one time in my life...The rest is investing (many with covered calls). In the year 2000, I KNEW the dot com bubble was going to happen. You had 100 companies not making profits...It was smoke and mirrors. They would all say "this is the greatest concept since sliced bread"...Think...

    2024 Recession Bet?

    Over the years (about 30) I've seen people move to ADM and BG, if they believe a recession is coming. But those two have been "discovered" for safety, so it may be an non play...

    Inherited IRA - Anyone ever have one?

    If you are not doing exotic trading, I would say Fidelity or Schwab. They have dedicated people who do this all day, every day. They know the ins and outs of the process...Hand holding that you may need.

    TDA...Look what I found in the bowels of the disclosures

    "You can totally sue them"...Arbitrate!! Suing is so harsh a term...And in the small print is not allowed. I don't think any broker will do business with you without signing an arbitration clause. And of course, you are forced to chose from their people who do the arbitration...

    TDA...Look what I found in the bowels of the disclosures

    I don't know...I just noticed (and focused) on the automatic exercise. It just seems that you MUST give notice to allow an option to execute... PS For me, if it was a large trade, I would want a hard copy of my choice to execute!!

    TDA...Look what I found in the bowels of the disclosures

    Was just skimming through the fine print at TDA. I came across this section about automatic fills for option expiration. It may not be automatic... I am responsible for instructing you as to my intention to exercise options contracts before the expiration date. Absent proper and timely...

    Anyone thirsty...Investco Water ETF (PHO)

    I already own stock in LAND and FPI. I also own stock on wheat futures...WEAT. My daughter and son in law farm in Montana (wheat, barley, and peas). The price of wheat is down and the price of nitrogen is up by 100%!! I was an almond grower for over 30 years. I got out of it twenty years...

    Anyone thirsty...Investco Water ETF (PHO)

    I already own this stock. Had about $6,000. laying round Fidelity. I bought 100 shares at $53.27. I then optioned the Dec 23 $56. for $1.90 ($190.00). Extra income for now. I don't intend to option my other 200 shares...Let it ride. Was thinking of Dr. Michael Burry (Margin Call...

    Taking my long term capital losses today, instead of end of year...PayPal

    Just listening to what my kids say (they are in their 30's...Much more savvy than me), PayPal is dealing with Apple Pay and having to clean up a lot of fraud from criminal activity. Both were a concern to them...

    Taking my long term capital losses today, instead of end of year...PayPal

    It wasn't a leap...Those usually expire in Jan. I did a leap, then another 1 or 2 options (covered calls), before selling...

    Taking my long term capital losses today, instead of end of year...PayPal

    Just being honest...I bought back my leap on PYPL for $7. then dumped the stock at $61. something. I lost over $9,000. on this trade...Minus two options, where I got about $2,500 to $3,000. in option money. They have been losing market share (not gaining). Young people are not using it...

    I believe at Fidelity, they charge more for BATS executions with small orders.

    Getting a fill from other exchanges...

    I then wrote another covered call (2) for the Jan 24 $210. I got $12.30 ($2,460.) for the 200 shares. A little extra income...I hope it won't get called away. I won't lose any sleep if it does...

    Getting a fill from other exchanges...

    So I am trying to buy back my CAR (Budget/Avis) option...Buy to close (close) for my Aug 23 $240. I want to do another call (sell to open). I am sitting there not wanting to give up my $10. (two calls $5. apart). I have it at CBOE...I could have gone through Fidelity routing, but PFOF might...

    Thoughts on using event contract to hedge or trade high impact events risks?

    Just saying...A lot of the Google reviews are people who have posted 1-2 reviews. I am very wary of that...Insiders/friends, asked/forced to review their own product, but don't review other products (services). I'll wait six months or a year and get back to this company... I was at Morgan...

    Dusting off my LEAPs again...

    So why can't Mainland China duplicate (steal) and sell this product?? Is it produced in China? Could Dolby, Bluetooth, Apple, and Amazon squeeze them in any way?? For the right price, would Amazon what to buy them?? It looks like big bucks to repair such a small item...If it can be done at...
