Ol' Jack always says... what the hell. |
I would be thinking more long term at least in the beginning until I get a good understanding of what is going on. I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, I'm not looking to get involved with what is going on at the moment. Gotcha. | |||

Nope. TDAmeritrade is fee free for stocks and ETF. Maybe there's a few for mutual funds? Dunno, I don't use it for that. There's a few for trades on the OTC market (which Robinhood doesn't even have access to.) | |||

I think this was the case at one time, ISTR the fee being $6.95, but I am pretty sure they no longer charge this. They certainly claim to be "commission free" on their pricing page. From the site: $0.00 commissions. No platform fees. No data fees. No trade minimums. Introducing $0 commissions on online stock, ETF, and option trades.* When you add this to our best-in-class platforms, award-winning education and service, and a network of over 175 branches, you'll see why TD Ameritrade is the smarter way to trade. *Applies to U.S. exchange-listed stocks, ETFs, and options. A $0.65 per contract fee applies for options trades. | |||

The squeezers who don't get out early (and it may already be too late), are going to get stuck with shares not worth what they paid, especially if they weren't early buyers. And, in the long run, it seems likely that GameStop goes broke and if they hold the shares they'll be worthless. It it sort of fun to see the big players get outplayed, but it won't end well for a lot of the little guys who get in on the "fun." The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I would think some GameStop executives who were sitting on stock options with a previously underwater strike price may have used this episode to cash out. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

According to Reddit, the squeeze isn't starting until tomorrow. GME is holding up OK for the time being. The share price swings pretty rapidly though, having halted trading several times this morning. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. The interesting thing is that "getting in early" really just means having gotten in before Monday. Even if the share price retreats by 50-75%, if you got in before Monday, you should still be walking away with profit. I think most of the holders at this point have already taken out their initial capital and just trading now with their profits (in Reddit parlance, "House Money"). The real losers are the people who buy shares for the first time yesterday and today simply because of news. If you don't have experience trading on momentum, you are really likely to buy at a peak and get screwed. | |||

Many publicly traded companies have rules regarding when their executives and other option holders can trade to prevent the appearance of illegal insider trading. Typically, this consists of a trading window of a few weeks after each quarterly shareholder meeting, plus disclosure requirements. Essentially, you've got to plan your trades way in advance. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^ Yeah. I have been lucky in the market by not betting on momentum and looking at fundamentals. The big guys will figure this out and crush the kids trading from the bus stop. This sort of stuff happens every once in a while, kind of like when the whiz kids from MIT learned card counting and hit the casinos. | |||

https://twitter.com/jgrantaddi.../1354836013512863747 This is referring to Robinhood and other trading platforms that manipulated the market in their attempt to keep Redditor's from manipulating the market, who were trying to outmanipulate the hedge fund guys who have an exclusive and free license to manipulate the market. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I can’t confirm also I’m in over my head. But is it true Robinhood is automatically closing positions for clients? “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson | |||

That's what I'm hearing. If true, that is fucked up. | |||

Just saw that report on zerohedge https://www.zerohedge.com/mark...ed-shuts-down-buying "Update 1445 EST: Users are starting to report that Robinhood is selling their GME shares without warning. Screenshots like the one below are starting to make their rounds on social media. Meanwhile, platforms like Webull and Merrill Edge have also joined in the restrictions. " | |||

It's not you, it's me. |
