At the end of the day, he's still a really old dude, and he's going to do some really old dude things. If I recall correctly, every morning he counts out exact change in bills and coins to buy his sausage McMuffin at McDonald's.

I sold my BRK/B at open on Wednesday so fuuuuck AAPL. The KO earnings/AAPL hype plan worked out. If he was any other old man he'd be kicked out of NFM for holding blizzards upside down over everything. I'm really a fan tbh but AAPL is absurd.

Exited the Marine terminal business (less predictable cash flows than their pipeline and storage business that has been their bread and butter for 20+ years). Cut the dividend enough to keep it funded and also fund expansion via cash instead of equity issue. It's about what I expected. Premarket is more or less giving up yesterday's gain. Now up big after open- this is about what I hoped would happen WTW an absolute dumpster fire Covered my AAPL calls for a big gain but lost on the QQQ puts. Was ready to dump them at the open where I would have gotten over .90 per, but held like an idiot and got out of them at .65. average price was 1.07 Edit: goddamnit...

greasyhands posted:What? The phone isn't monitoring heart rate and tracking sleep (accurately- a smartphone by your pillow is not accurate) and won't monitor glucose, blood pressure and other things going forward. The phone is the interface to the device and Garmin and Fitbit are the only good platform agnostic solutions right now. Again, I'm not saying long FIT, but I dunno what you're talking about saying a phone does everything a wrist monitor does. I get an actual discount on my insurance through work for wearing a fitbit- they won't give the same discount for my phone pedometer. Do you actually use one? Fair enough but I see no barrier to entry into this and as another user pointed out Apple are also trying to enter the wellness section with some of Apple watch's features. They even have partnerships with some glucose, blood monitoring companies and sell their devices on their official apple retail/online stores.

So yesterday's runup was triggered by Trump tweeting that things were going well regarding trade discussions with China. Today, his staff denied Trump's statement and everything is dropping back down. What is this universe.

So twice now I've had one option of a spread exercised on me way early (read 2 weeks for one and 5 months for another). RobinHood has decided both times to cover the margin call by exercising the option purchased for protection rather than just selling the assigned shares and selling the purchased protection option. Why do they do this? Their strategy guarentees the max loss on that spread rather than a smaller loss that would be had if they just sold the components individually. Just because some fool wants to exercise their purchased option super early, why does that mean I am forced to do the same? I understand that I will be forced to take a loss because the margin call needs to be covered ASAP, but it doesn't need to be the max loss.

paternity suitor posted:You get what you pay for Seeing as this is still happening after like a year, if you call yourself a brokerage there's kindof the expectation or implied promise that you can make a trade in short order somehow barring some major circumstances. Report that nonsense to the FINRA because that's the only way I got them to even balance my account after my mishaps with them. They literally didn't know until the FINRA forced a human to figure it. E: I guess the money they save on redundancy probably covers any handful of claims against them. I bought short term QQQ puts (nov regular 165s I think?) when it went below about 169.50.

I think that list is pretty old. I like my TD Ameritrade account but I pay for it dearly. Ally is also cheap, but their interface is god awful (and I had to call and unlock my account after they detected that my clock was set to UTC...). I've heard good things about etrade in this thread and otherwise, but I haven't tried them.

Today, his staff denied Trump's statement and everything is dropping back down. Maybe the stock market is reacting to ongoing earnings and economic factors and not the twitter ranting of idiot politicians. The 10-year treasury spiked nearly ten basis points today with the 2-year not far behind. The jobs report showed significant wage growth for the first time and I think investors are spooked about inflation and this economic cycle reaching a late stage. We seem to be in this see-saw pattern between tech/momentum stocks and the rest of the market. Today was a "rest of the market" day with yesterday a tech day.

Then in september when they brought up dividends I went to make a joke and suddenly it was at 1.50 so i sold it immediately.
