    This 30 second ad really bugs me...

    What is says in your link...That is what I see!! Criticism of Regulation BI Some critics see Regulation BI as a weak replacement for Regulation FD. Jon Stein, founder and CEO of Betterment, a digital advisor, said, “Regulation Best Interest will likely hurt retail investors who need quality...

    This 30 second ad really bugs me...

    Fisher Investments... I know what they are saying...But many people may not see behind the screens. They are stressing a fiduciary relationship with their clients. I am also hearing hour long infomercials talking about fiduciary relationships. This use to be your real estate broker...

    Why is a thinly traded bid/ask on a stock not showing up at other brokers or the general market??

    I'll use Schwab and Fidelity as examples, with RGT as a thinly traded stock. The stock is traded in penny increments. Bid say $14.50...Ask $14.40. So I will go to Fidelity and put my price in the middle to buy...$14.45. I will then check on Schwab (and refresh continually)...The $14.45 will...

    Bought more RING in my ROTH IRA today...

    I had about $3,500. in the money market account...Earning .01%. I needed something that required 100 share, to do a covered call. I could have went with Wells Fargo or BP. With the government printing money this is a wait and see. More social unrest and RING should do fine...

    Bought more RING in my ROTH IRA today...

    Gold mining ETF...Over 1/2 of one percent on the dividend. Looking for tax free income...Hard to find with these new highs in the markets. Bought 100 shares at $27.52...Did one covered call for the July 21 $29.00. I got $2.70 ($270.) for it. Just a place to park money for now.

    How do you legally withdraw money from Roth IRA accounts at retail brokers after age 59 1/2?

    My wife and I have 4 Roth IRAs combined. We have worked for the last 15 years to know many of the ins and outs. Not an expert, but studied it quite a bit. You do not have to touch your Roth when your are 59 1/2...You can (meeting all the requirements), but you DO NOT HAVE TO!! You do not...

    What kind of Commodities do you trade?

    I just do covered calls for income. I'll buy things like JO Coffee and SLV Silver. But I consider things like EFTs, RING (gold mining stocks) and MOO (ag stocks) a way to play sectors without dealing with the commodities themselves. Also if you deal in sector leaders of the commodity, you may...

    I bought two more stocks today, Sysco (SYY) and gold mining (RING)

    The RING I was just adding to my positions. I don't know where to put money on the side to make it work. Did covered calls on both stocks. My thoughts on Sysco...We will open up sometime. A solid company that is in colleges, schools, and restaurants. The restaurants will come back at...

    On my 3rd CPA over the years...I'm 65. I live in the Central Valley of California. My wife and I pay $600. per year. My CPA is fair...I really can't say great. He went to the local college...Took him two or three times to pass his state boards (California boards are very hard). He is good...

    XOM

    I have 100 shares of XOM in my Roth IRA...a old options expired worthless months ago. 10 minute ago I did a "sell to open" on this. June 21, $45. I got $1.65 ($165.00) while I wait. As long as the middle east doesn't "blow up", it should expire worthless. I just can't see people traveling...

    "We have acted as agent"...What does this mean??

    Yeah, you're right...I'm 65 so I may need some slack. BKR88's link spells it out... MMs come into play a lot. Who and when they send out the orders to other MMs effects the trade too. That can be a whole another thread or book. Schwab and Fidelity will still not tell me how quickly my order...

    Two ETFs...How are they being played timewise...JO, RING

    Just wondering if some of you "experts" could tell who is trading these and how...Gold mining and coffee futures. Is it seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks?...I don't know, that is why I'm asking. It would seem with lower volume, people would shy away from these two. I usually just buy...
