An outsider looking in. You would know the answers, if you had activated these trades. Des was right (sometimes he gets it right), you do not have a basic comprehension of things like taxes or trading. Yes, I use investopedia too...As an add on to my knowledge. It is a great place for...

Bought Bank of America today...Love/hate relationship with them. My grandfather knew the founder...When it was called The Bank of Italy. My grandfather would bring his watermelons to San Francisco...A.P. Giannini would set up a little stand next to him at the farmers market. He would make...

I bought back the Apple Jan 19, 2024 $190. option. I didn't want to lose it. Buy to close (1), .65 ($65.)...Then did a sell to open covered call. Sept 24, $225.00 I got $2.60 ($260.) for it... I have another Apple option coming up in March 2024 at $200. We'll see if I buy that one back too...

New buy and covered call in my Roth IRA...CVS. We already own 100 shares in our trust. I wanted to add, since I don't see anything good/great out there to buy at this time... I bought 100 shares at $78.95 (I've had that price [good till cancelled] for a couple days). I then sold a CC for the...

Des must come back!!! This will wake him up...

Even if it was mixed with others, I should have got my fill. The SEC needs to make that correction for the smaller/retail trader... I'll even be willing to pay a buck or two to have that trade fill...PFOF can lead to unsavory practices in my mind. I wouldn't mind if Fidelity or Schwab asked...

So I tried to buy back my option on Apple "Buy to Close" at 35 cents. The option went to 34 cents, but I didn't get a fill. I called Schwab...I asked was my order placed on a market at the time of the 34 cent fill. They said "yes"!! But they said the reason it wasn't filled was because the...

Had the local tech guy (working out of his garage...But good quality), install Windows 10 (from Windows 7). He told me I would like it much better that Windows 11. But, he did give the warning...Windows 10 will not be covered my Microsoft after December 31, 2024. We intend to buy a new...

About this issue...Think or swim!!

Give Schwab the 3 days to get it right. HUGE amount of accounts they have to integrate into their system. They had to do it sometime...I am sure they are working around the clock on this issue. They want to get it right... Disclosure...Schwab stock holder here. When I first saw that Schwab...

I've made money on his water prediction from years ago...PHO

Over the years, I feel I am pretty good with predictions... It's my timing...That's my biggest issue!!

Dude, I feel like you're baiting me. I'll play along... Don't use margin...Too costly. We are talking about volatility, yes? Choose VIX (or still better yet, QQQ or SPY)...Any disaster will increase vol. Use a put for Jan 31 up to Mar 15, 2024 for direction. Thinking of the election, middle...

Yeah, I did. It was later at night and I didn't get much sleep the night before. So often we just scan threads...Gleaning what we can. What struck me was more the idea of using margin for doing (any type of) leaps!! That woke me up. Show some grace dude, I messed up...

Just a mistake dude...No worries. I was scanning the tread and you look at the title of the thread. I did look up one of the indexes and saw volatility...But forgot. In 95-98% of society's vocabulary, vol does stand for volume. It's used in business. Ask any med student (or former)..."what...

Well excuse me...It's even used in business terms. See below...Cambridge "Business" written abbreviation for volume. (Definition of vol. from the Cambridge Business English Dictionary © Cambridge University Press) Dec 27, 2023

Non trader here... If you have a little money, why not a leap (call or put), way out of the money on QQQ or SPY?? The volume will come on major moves...Play the direction, not the volume.

I just read the Bloomberg article about B. Riley...Funny and scary at the same time!! Was thinking of this video...BOOM

Just wondering how AI would handle commodities?? Examples...The Middle East blows up? Ukraine bombs large Crimean ports (wheat)?? Am just thinking geopolitical and how AI would interpret the events...
