    Schwab is taking me for a ride!

    First disclosure...I own 100 share of Schwab. I have been praising their name on the boards here, for basic individual investors (not day traders). So I am sitting with just over $9,000. in our sweep trust account, (into Schwab Bank)...Earning less that .005. Sick I know... I look on their...

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    I don't know if any of these are good examples...If memory serves me correct; Didn't Robinhood limit what options people could trade when Me Me stocks were hot...GameStop and AMC? Didn't IB lock up a few times in the last few years when the market was very active? I know better safeties are...

    What's it feel to have an IQ of 150+?

    I knew a guy who was above 150...He became a ditch tender. He was on his own most of the time. He had to communicate with farmers and coworkers, but much of his time was doing his job. His son in elementary school, was at a high school level in 6th grade. The teacher had him learn to ride...

    Owning a stock both as long as well as short

    I asked my CPA one time..."can I sell a stock in my Schwab trust account, then buy it (less that the 30-31 day rule) in my Fidelity Roth IRA account" (or vise versa)?? He said I could, but it's illegal. The chance of getting caught is .000squat. If I were running for public office, I'm sure...

    Should I sue my real estate agent? or do I have a case.

    As others have said (if not in writing), he/she was not your agent. I live in California...Was a Realtor for about 15 years. When the market was red hot, buyers would have to do many things to become the winner. My daughter wrote a personal letter, on why she wanted to own the house (small...

    A message to Dest...7 minutes after Baron closed the thread

    Yeah, that's what I did. If there was an occasion that had an interesting thread (it would need to be very interesting and relevant), and I needed context from Dest's post, I can look back. Otherwise, there is plenty of good info on all the threads...

    The biggest bankruptcies in the World history just started...

    I use to make loans (first deeds of trust) for commercial/industrial buildings. I would have a good loan to asset value and the property must be a going concern. Also a fair to good location. I may look into a 3-5 year loan (amortized or 20 to 30 years...Balloon in 5). One of my favorite...

    A message to Dest...7 minutes after Baron closed the thread

    Hi Dest...Hope you are well. I have decided to block you. It really is nothing personal. It is more for my benefit. I have an addictive personality...Had it for years. When I deal with one issue, I can develop a transfer addiction to some other area. Reading your threads can do that to me...

    Why Roth IRAs are so valuable...

    I think there will also be some type of maintenance fee for each customer...$15.-$25. per client. These fees are only the electric provided and probably by the size of an average house. Go above what is allotted and pay extra...Something like that.

    Why Roth IRAs are so valuable...

    Yeah, I would do that if I was younger. At my age, it's more estate planning. You start to have the government looking into your affairs if you own overseas. I'll collect silver dimes, rather than own outside even my own state. In every state you own property (when you die), you have to file...

    Why Roth IRAs are so valuable...

    I'll share some of my holdings...Very boring companies, outside the US. I buy these for security...Not even for income or growth. Just my style...Diversified assets. Please feel free to invest in these...Help my portfolios (trust and Roth)!! GMAB, GSK, GNC.AX, IPH.AX, CDUAF, BBCA, EWA, RING...

    Why Roth IRAs are so valuable...

    I'll just add this to why (now and in the future), you want to have a lot of assets, but very little income. Grow your assets...Not your income. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/california-power-companies-roll-out-fixed-rate-bill-proposal/

    My wife's strategy...Let those option people come to me!! Novartis (NVS)

    Getting back to you Des...I don't fully understand the trade. I'm older...Old dogs, new tricks. I could spend hours figuring it out...But even then, not choose to make the move. My wife and I usually buy stocks in round lots (for options). Most of the time it is just 100 shares (want to stay...
