I hate him too. I have a couple lotto calls to skim some cash off of him.
I cancelled and they offered me a lower price to bring me back.
Yeah their expected revenue was lower
Because people getting lower prices and buying the lower tiers
I
Beat on earning, but barely moved.

Same, at least I think I'm ready. I have a little bit of cash to deploy in my M1 HYSA, but trying to stay patient as well.
Most of my holdings are near their 52-week high's or at the moving averages... I'd gladly buy more with the excess cash but prefer to do so at lower price levels. Not really interested in opening any new-new positions rn.
Again..I'm still kicking myself for not buying more Netflix!
I have a dumb question about the market that I've been thinking about: you know how they say there's another person on the other side of every trade? Is that 100% true? Some of these options contracts or day trades that folks exit early and at crazy gains, who is BUYING to complete that type of trade? Institutions or other entities that just need to accumulate shares no matter what?
I've wondered that too. My thought: After a big run, FOMO chasers are buying those high priced contracts trying to get in. Bearish side, I have no clue.
Thought so @ ppl chasing on the upside. I think what made me wonder was that sometimes ETrade would take forever to fill my lil midget orders, barely any gain, but I see other folks get in and out like its nothing. Then started wondering about who is on the opposite end of those huge moves in order to have them fill so quickly. It's interesting.
You right tho bearish side who knows
I feel as if soon as Biden won the election, some folks have been angling for a recession.
good, i got 2 of the 3
2 of the 3 he likes, or dislikes?
dislikes lol
He made a case... I was on $T as an option myself.
What I read in the book is you're mostly trading against a market maker. Their interest is different then your. Market Makers want you to win. They make money by the spread. They want you to win so that you come back and trade more. More Liquidity means more commissions. MM's mostly have a neutral position. Neutral is safe. When you enter the option position they hedge it immediately.
You go long a CALL XYZ. They sell you CALL but they also do another trade long Underlying XYZ + long PUT.
He explains it better then I ever could
I forgot that marker makers also keep an inventory of options and stock they make the market in.
And they hedge across all their open positions. So forget my example.
i looked at PNC bank the other day as divdend play, i think it pays like a 1.50 a share. And its been increasing divdend by the year.
The PNC stock is astronomical. You don’t need to do all of that to make a nice dividend return.
Most of my stocks giving a dividend are in the $10-$35 price range. I also own more than 1000 shares in each stock. I received a little more than $200 in dividends from FULT. They’re a $13 stock that should be around $17.
Not here, I've never spent any time to learn about them.
.. nah not yet, maybe when I hit hardcore preservation mode.
Right now I'm holding straight cash for emergency or to reinvest eventually. Other than that all equities.
I grabbed some ibonds when they were like 6%
Anyone putting a
Yeah I was on a fidelity webinar yesterday and they were saying bonds were a good way to hedge against a recession. Safety net...Not all of your money but some....

yea when the market was really down, ibonds was at 9% at one time. I hate i missed that. The reason i missed it was because I thought it was hard to setup until someone said you can go online and it was easy to do.
