    Another buy I was to embarrassed to share yesterday...Gold mining stocks GDXJ

    Yeah, I hope it doesn't get called away...Just me. I will take a high option premium...Nothing wrong with that. I'll write another option in Nov 23. The price went up 3.25% today...I must be an idiot. I could buy my option back tomorrow and sell the stock...Make about $50. in two days. Hey...

    Another buy I was to embarrassed to share yesterday...Gold mining stocks GDXJ

    I had some extra money in my Roth IRA...Wanted to put it somewhere. I bought 100 shares of GDXJ junior gold mining companies. I was wanting to add gold and I felt if gold rises, one (or more) companies could be buyout candidates. So I bought the stock at $39.68...I then optioned the Nov 23...

    Rethinking stock picks; theft, debt, labor intensive...

    When I go to evaluate a company that I may want to buy, I am reconsidering many things. A couple years ago I bought EVgo (EVGO). Yeah, great concept (grow charging stations around the US). It was a start up company (with large debt and labor costs), but I thought it could grow through those...

    What happens to spread options during bankruptcy?

    I've shared this before. I had a covered call (a oil exploration company) that went bankrupt. I was trying to clear the call (for tax purposes). I was able to clear it though some South American pink slip exchange...

    noob questions and how do people get rich trading!?

    Are you working?? Fund your 401k/IRA to the max...With an S & P 500 mutual fund. You can learn to invest/trade, but it takes years. You need a cushion of money before you can trade (don't blow up an account)...First things first.

    Has Yahoo Finance become unusable??

    I have used this product (yeah, I know it's free) for over 30 years. It is still my go to for basic research. I have the slowest DSL that AT&T offers (cheapest). But Yahoo feels almost like dial up in their delays to connect. Are other people seeing this problem??

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

    So I went looking for a down pillow this afternoon (The odds of finding a real one, that is not online is about .00naught)...I'll double check with Kalshi on the odds (joke). I was thinking (while driving around town), what I talked to her about. What I would like to do...I think it would be...

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

    I called and talked to Luana...She and the company seem legit. She answered many questions, that many of you will be getting answers to very soon. I told her she really needs to delegate to others, many of these questions. She also gave me a number of someone in the company, who would provide...

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

    Hey, I called the 646-995-0104 number. No name of the company...The mailbox was full!! Do I even bother to call Schwab...What would they say about you?? It sounds cool...But now a little fishy. Baron, have you done your due diligence on this company??

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    I can't think of anything more safe than short term (less than 1 year) US Treasuries. A treasury bond fund can rise and fall. Holding short term bonds to maturity is a known quality. It's just the manual trading (every time I have a few thousand bucks in Schwab Bank), that becomes the headache...

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

    How is it backed by Schwab?? How can you prove the other side has the assets in place to fulfill their commitment/contract?? Thinking FTX... Will the other side put money in escrow/trust account to complete their transaction?? 50 years ago my dad told me "never contract with someone who has...

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

    Will Joe Biden finish out his current term?? Will Israel bomb Iran?? Will there be a peace accord between Russia and The Ukraine?? Some type of protection against super inflation... That last one I am interested in and would love to talk further about how it could be structured!!

    Facing tough contested Divorce... ideas?

    The attorney (on both sides) will bleed you dry!! Take up with this guy...He is worth millions...Or traded millions (he said so...Unless he lied). Can you see this entered into evidence?? https://conferences.moneyshow.com/moneyshow-las-vegas/speakers/15b20597891b48138e147507f4da6ede/ken-calhoun/

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    Yeah, Schwab doesn't have a default...Just to their bank. So I have to manually buy the shares. Just a headache I'd rather not deal with. Years ago, both Schwab and Fidelity would sweep automatic to a money market fund...

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    Finishing off the thread. I called Schwab about the two Schwab bond/money market funds. They said they could not sweep into them...They must be bought. But then I looked at their website (with a Schwab rep on the phone), and the minimums changed on their US Treasuries!! This happened over...

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    Took a night to sleep on what you said... My mind works different that most people...I was ADHD as a kid. Most albums (from 60's or 70's), I can tell you what the next line of the song will be...Good at Jeopardy type person. I remember someone (smart person) mentioning about 20 years ago...

    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    Fidelity does (maybe not nightly...It seems they all do a couple days float, which is fine). I will have to call Schwab and look at the other options including the two goverment bond funds. Just hate to see them rise and fall vs locked in... Thanks people...This is one of the best uses of...
