    Bought 100 shares of Google today...

    When my wife and I die...This will be the person in charge of executing the back end of our trades. I am sure they have people under them doing most of the work. But it still won't be cheap... How much does a Trust Officer make in California? The average Trust Officer salary in California is...

    Bought 100 shares of Google today...

    I've shared before...I'm sitting on about a million cash and bonds. About a million invested in the markets (ETFs, closed end funds, stocks, foreign stocks). I'm retired (67) and do not want to do trades that are too complicated. Keep the cash flow going...Old dog, new tricks. In Schwab Bank...

    Bought 100 shares of Google today...

    Checked on the net..."Set it and forget it". It was a Ronco ad from years ago. I am NOT an active trader. Find a good entry (on quality), then do a leap. I'm playing with my grand kids right now. Do you really think I want to be glued to my computer...

    A quick move in my Roth IRA...WEAT

    I've changed my mind. I don't think Russia will bomb the Black Sea ports. They are limited on what they can do, (having to use Iranian drones and soldiers in other area). So I put in my offer for Jan 24 $12. sell to open for $1.00. I'll sit an wait...60 days. No need to hurry...I don't...

    What type of stock is Avis/Budget (CAR)??

    Was 1/2 way out the door (running errands)...Wanted to come back and ask a question. I am sure someone could answer this by running a formula. Could you give me one or two major companies that had a P/E of 4 that was a pump and dump?? You can't use Boeing when two planes crashed within...

    1987 and 2008...Brings back memories

    A few people on other threads mentioned 1987. I know some of you were too young (not born) when that happened. The SEC made changes, so there would be more free flow of markets (not locking up). But for those who lived though it...A wild ride. You couldn't get a hold of your broker...No idea...

    What type of stock is Avis/Budget (CAR)??

    I've asked this before in different ways over the years...I can't seem to get a handle (put my finger) on this company. Is this a value company, a meme company, is there large short selling involved? I do own 200 shares that I bought real cheap during the shutdown (Covid). When it hit...

    Why are ECNs and Dark Pools not available for Commodities and Futures?

    So funny...This was never a market for the active trader. Do you even remember this in 2020... US oil prices turned negative for the first time on record on Monday after oil producers ran out of space to store the oversupply of crude left by the coronavirus crisis, triggering an historic...

    A quick move in my Roth IRA...WEAT

    First option from March, expired worthless today. I made money from the option, but not the trade. I plan on holding (not optioning), till we hear some news about the Ukrainian war. The first sign of chaos in the Black Sea area, I'll option again...

    Fidelity holding my ask option again...

    The tick size WAS 5 cents. Schwab and Fidelity will not allow (error message) if you go below what their system offers (tick size). It did show up in CBOE at $1.10...And it got filled at $1.10. See top of thread...

    Fidelity holding my ask option again...

    You are correct...It was kept upstairs. Here is my post for a few weeks ago. Just the main issues. I'm really ticked at Fidelity. The worst thing is they were saying this was in MY best interest!! I own 500 shares of Farmland Partners (FPI)...Option expired worthless on Friday. I wanted to...

    Fidelity holding my ask option again...

    I believe this applies to stocks...Hence dark pools and MMs jumping me continually. I didn't see anything about options...Though I just skimmed the papers. Also, I didn't see where the one proposal had become law...

    That is fine when stocks/options are going up. If they stay the same or go down, it becomes a different story. Many times like trying to catch a falling knife...
