Need a chance to retire between today and tomorrow. Hope we can get some runners in today. Have to remember to sell when the profits are good. Can't get stuck holding the bag.

I got it in on the dip to $11 and although it dropped from $40, I’m stilling holding that MF overnight.

I’m like the brotha that is hot at the craps table right now and letting it rid :lol:

nobody take my advice. :lol: :smh:

Still holding that $UONE from $11. I might close if it hits $30.

I should've held UONE. This stock market shit is hell, boy.
It comes with experience and luck, brotha.

that is why I said don’t listen to me :lol:

got in at $11, ride to &40 and didn’t close until today at $30.

honestly, should be worth more as this is basically the parent for TVONE and even at current stock price the market cap is just $400M. Should be ATLEAST $1B, which puts PPS at around $70 a share. Maybe it is a buyout candidate?

Anyone know how to open a VTSAX??
How much do I need to invest in VTSAX?
If you decide to invest in VTSAX, you may wonder how to buy your first shares from Vanguard. Currently, the minimum amount needed to invest in VTSAX is $3,000.

If this is your first time investing in the stock market, congratulations! Owning stocks is one of those financial behaviors that often demonstrates the difference between wealthy and “rich.”

If you don’t have $3,000 to start investing in VTSAX now, Vanguard also offers an ETF fund (VTI) composed of the same portfolio. You can invest in VTI starting at the price of just one share (just over $140 at the time of this writing).




What is VTSAX?
VTSAX is an acronym that stands for “Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares.” VTSAX is an index fund designed to track the performance of the entire United States stock market.

For a little more detail, let’s take a look at a summary of the VTSAX fund from Vanguard themselves:

Created in 1992, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to the entire U.S. equity market, including small-, mid-, and large-cap growth and value stocks. The fund’s key attributes are its low costs, broad diversification, and the potential for tax efficiency. Investors looking for a low-cost way to gain broad exposure to the U.S. stock market who are willing to accept the volatility that comes with stock market investing may wish to consider this fund as either a core equity holding or your only domestic stock fund.

What type of fund is VTSAX?
To fully understand VTSAX, it may be helpful to have definitions for both mutual funds and index funds.

A mutual fund is a portfolio of many different stocks you can purchase together.

An index fund is a mutual fund that’s created to reflect a larger market.

VTSAX is both a mutual fund and an index fund. Or put another way, VTSAX is a collection of many stocks (more on that later) that track the American stock market as a whole.

A Profile of the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund
VTSAX is one of the largest index funds in the world. If you choose to invest in VTSAX, this means you certainly won’t be alone in carrying about its performance. It’s a popular choice likely owned by everyone from the new investor to those with generational wealth.

That being said, it’s important to learn more about the composition and historical performance before making your own personal decision.

How many stocks does VTSAX hold?
As of April 2019, VTSAX held 3607 stocks.

What stocks are held in the VTSAX fund?
The top 10 holdings in VTSAX are all generally considered to be household names. These companies make up nearly 20% of the fund’s total worth and include:

  1. Microsoft
  2. Apple
  3. Amazon
  4. Alphabet (Google)
  5. Facebook
  6. Berkshire Hathaway
  7. JP Morgan Chase
  8. Johnson & Johnson
  9. Exxon Mobil
  10. Visa
While the VTSAX provides a diversified portfolio over picking single stocks, there are a few industries that are most heavily present (you can probably guess which industries by using the list above). They are Technology (20.9%), Financial (19.5%), Consumer Services (13.7%) and Industrial (13.5%).

Texas and Cali have mandatory mask requirements. Mask stocks are moving in AH. APT and NBY are two.
I went ahead and bought into NBY after hours on webbull at 1.06. It’s going to be interesting to see how that developes tomorrow. I love the after hour and premarket trading on there I’m new to them. But I’ve read you can only have 3 day trades per 5 days. I’ve been with E*TRADE so long and I have unlimited day trades with them I’m trying to decide whether or not I should move my portfolio over. Etrade gives that little allert when you trade on unsettled cash but I’ve never had a problem but I try to only day trade on settled cash. I made a quick run on UONE today. I got in around 15 and sold around 23 comfortably. I’m not greedy lol. That was a nice run. I’m back in DDOG again today at 82 it’s at 88 now AH. I’m going to ride it again for a few days. Thanks for the tips you post!

Buying ETFs is a great way to avoid the minimum opening amounts. Then if you really still want to you can roll your funds into VTSAX in a tax deferred or Roth account. In my Vanguard brokerage I buy VTI and BND for the total bond fund.

I opened my M1 IRA with ETFs at the beginning of May which required only a $500 initial deposit.

Started with VOO, VYM, VXUS, VQN but Im about to add BNDW (Total World Bond) and VTEB (Tax Exempt Bond) to my portfolio July 1.

They're at $0.35 now....you think it'll run like Hertz did?
well they were at $16 a share a year and a half ago. They just secured $125 million debtor-in-possession financing which included $50 million in new money. I'm sure it'll see a substantial increase......not sure if it will be as high as HTZ, but enough to make a profit.
