I get bars and coins, but I collect coins, if you aren't interested in that, just go straight bars. The cheapest ones are miscellaneous packs. -
Buy physical, don't waste money on paper.

@Chollowa Fidelity (FNF) at $36.30, down 26% from is 52 week high, is probably a safe bet. I mean, these disgruntled are going to go somewhere, and I'm sure some will fall in Fidelity's lap, especially because they didn't pull any of the shenanigan that other firms committed.

Hmmm. CLII for its potential merger with EvGo. My real long in that industry is Enphase (ENPH), been in it since it was a bit over $6. I got into them after California made the mandate that all new construction has to have solar panels. They are in the business of making microinverters (DC to AC), which is the on of the largest margin businesses in the industry; they are also in the energy storage business, another high margin venture. Its down a good amount off its high. I did my first option calls this past week, for GE and Ford, fairly cheap and I expect them to gain 50% to 75% in the next year (as long as everything doesn't crash). If the steel tariffs stay in place, Cleveland Cliffs is a good pick. In the past year they have made acquisitions that has produced a vertically integrated company, while also consolidating the market. I could go on and on.... Really though, I'm a slow long growth kind of guy; I probably wont retire rich, but I'll be comfortable (currently my portfolio cost basis is ~$138k, and I'm about five or six fold of that in unrealized gains, but I've been investing since I was in my mid teens). I say that because my philosophy falls in line with the Hare and Turtle, don't try to get rich; so if you have decent wins, just put them in something like Microsoft. Just going throw this out there, I keep a financial well being Onenote Notebook, called Investing with Friends, that I share with people. In it are my (and a younger friend's) notes, positions, some of the articles I read, things you should know about the market, ways to save money, etc... A bunch of people follow it, most just read, but anyone is welcome to put their notes down as well, or ask questions. Its a work in progress as I started it because Covid seemed to get a lot of people around more interested in financial freedom than they were before. If interested, shoot me a message with your email, and I'll add you. Like always, you could lose money.

I'm thinking past these events. I'm talking about fundamentally it is priced about where it should be in a couple years. Just saying its a safer bet than most at its current levels.

Its funny how pizza "parties" never go out of style. Maybe we are just conditioned since grade school, but it always work.
-
I would do Nokia to play it safe, its priced decently at this level. Buy for the long haul if interested in getting in now. With that said, I am not a financial advisor, just dude that enjoys numbers.

Unemployment Question.
Commodore D replied to Commodore D's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Thank you. Yeah, I teared up the night before looking through all my files, polishing my succession plan, and writing my resignation letter. Also choked and teared up when HR asked for my personal email to send the separation info. I wasn't even looking, never have, love what I do, but because of Covid I made a LinkedIn page. I responded to the three of executive recruiters that reached out, three offers were made. I took the one in the middle (about 20k short of the top) because its WFH anywhere in the world with good airport (I'll stay here in Shaker, great schools, stupid cheap). I had to do it though; I've been making P and VP level decision and impact ($Bs M&A synergies, defining Industry 4.0) for the past four years, yet those haven't been my titles, not even titled at the D suite, just compensated like it. I can see the ceiling and its basically council to the peers with whom I came in with while they become Cs, PS, and VPs. The outside let me know I didn't have to wait. Plus the people with whom I will work with / for, didn't come through the company ranks, they were brought in for their talents, and they are in search of their replacement. This puts me so much closer to my goal to "retire" by 45, I'm an 80s baby. If the right opportunity came (VP of Ops and up), I'd go back, as I'd like to revisit my vision. -
Ah, didn't think about margin trading being a possible difference, as I don't do it.
-
Ok, understood, I guess that almost works for you.
-
So what do you do when opportunities like the Covid Slam happen? All your in account "money" would be going down, and transfers from outside accounts, especially five figure ones aren't immediate.
-
Unintentional humble brag, I just don't pay attention to settle time as I always have enough liquid funds to do what I want to do.

That Mandel magic. He and family just knew he was going to be President, it was his right.
-
If nine other people agree to send you $10, I'm down for $10.

Sofi is good, but don't trust me, I shill for them as one of my bestfriends is cousin to a founder (he's stupid rich now though and has cut almost all ties to the family, his mom had to make an appointment to see their first child after eight months). For real though, they are good.
-
No to the majority of them, especially Mandel. Yes to this guy who should have been rolling into his second term.

Said to a buddy earlier today when he was comparing it to Occupy Wall Street, marching, protesting, rioting, voting are all just minor momentary inconveniences to them, you have to Debo them pockets for it to start to matter.

Its happening across a lot of the apps. Had my RH that I never use (trying to buy DOGE, not on the platforms I use) asked, caught me off guard.
-
Option wise, I've only ever done three in my almost 20 years of investing; and they were this week (call F 2022, call GE 2022, put GME 2022), so it looked fine for me. Don't know about instant deposits, I had money there since the beginning. They settle up fine as far as I've notice.

Shorts don't expire as long as you are willing to pay the interest.
-
I've always been against RH because they sell their information to the firms that "own" them. So the give them a heads up on things like stop losses, make up positions, etc... All the tools to bilk money out of uneducated investors; and they target heavily that investor.

Fidelity and Sofi (for crypto).

This has been an amazing learning opportunity, they are going to have to change the rules, all the slight of hand moves are being used. Fairly certain I witnessed a short ladder; have only ever read about them. So cool.
