There are non crazy billionaires doing things the right way and some other crazy ones doing it the wrong way. We will be fine.

If Tesla goes under, at least someone else will be able to buy their carcass for pennies on the dollar.

Harry Potter on Ice posted:Allowed? What's stopping you The "Firmwide Personal Account Dealing Policy" at my new company doesn't allow for day trading or options trading of any kind, unless part of a mutual fund. Also have to get preclearance before any buy or sell I make. And since my brokerage account is actually with them they get informed of all trades I make in real time. Already got in trouble for buying FSLR without pre approval. It's a giant garbage handcuff that is total bullshit. Especially for the options trading.

I have a vague and screwy question about stock. I was contacted about some stock from an estate I inherited, and there is apparently some small account that I hadn't known about or claimed. . A stock service called "Keane" called me and said they wanted to help get this unclaimed stock at Wells Fargo that ostensibly belongs to me and get it either reissued or cashed out. Their fee for cashing that stock out would be 30%. I had seen mail from this Keane place before, but always chucked it out as yet more junk mail. The value of the stock is about four grand. What the poo poo, they want 30%. I only have some info from Keane regarding this--the last four digits of the account number and of course, what I already have from court. A) is this even the right place to ask about this, and B) how do I get this stock reissued to me or cashed out without this company? I've had other things reissued, but that was with my documents I already had.

The stock was held in a Wells account? You should contact them--they'll be able to tell you what you need. Might be a pain in the rear end, though... if you're lucky it's a payable on death account.

I'm sure there's some paperwork shuffle that could be a small or larger pain in the rear end, but I have a hard time envisioning what kinds of red tape would come in that would make it worth paying someone $1200 to handle it so that all you need to do is sign papers. Maybe the tax events you could run into are tricky? Still, taking an afternoon to study it would be like paying yourself a few hundred dollars per hour. I imagine there's quite the market for doing 'services' like this for grieving families who don't want to deal with any more bureaucratic hassles that already come up when it comes to death and estate management. It's a prime opportunity to capitalize on extremely low price sensitivity if you have the stomach / lack of compunction for it. I mean, I guess there's some cases where the survivors are overwhelmed emotionally or logistically so even with killer fees the inheritors are grateful for the help, but at the very least it feels like you have the upper hand so if all else fails you can respond "I can let you do it for 10%" just to see what they come back with.

They're probably a service that tracks unclaimed funds, searches out the owners (if they've moved, etc) and tells them about it. Probably pretty legit, and I'm sure they help a lot of people find money they never knew they had, but 30% is absolutely ridiculous. One of these services contacted me a couple years ago - I had some money from an old security deposit unclaimed - and instead of going through them I just went directly to the state's unclaimed property website and did it myself in like 5 minutes.

As far as web content goes, Dough has a pretty good video tutorial series going over different strategies and whatnot. I've been enjoying OptionAlpha's content as well. Lots of video tutorials and PDF guides for free along with weeklyish podcasts. I was big on Tastytrade but they've worn me out pretty quickly. I still try to keep up with Market Measures and the other shows based on research and backtesting but they have approximately zero focus on risk management for some reason.

I mean I wasn't really wanting to be in FSLR but I figured at 37.5 I'd buy it happily and hold it for a longer time frame so why not get some premium out of it, which is pretty much the perfect way to write puts.

That's an odd one for him, I don't see CMG as much of an activist target. Theres no spin off to do, no assets to sell, and cost cutting isn't going to bring sales back.

The CNBC talking heads, who I assume know more than I do, have said the upside on TWTR is at best low $20s in the event of a takeover. Maybe potential buyers are waiting for a dip back down to $14/share or lower to get a better deal?
