Here's something I should know but I'm not sure about.

If I sell a stock, Schwab shows the funds as available to trade immediately. Does that mean I can literally use them that same day? Or do I need to wait out the 3 days till they're settled?

I mean use them to buy another security, not for cashing out.

You can use them right away. You can’t withdraw until settlement.

Do you have margin on your account? You can trade but if you do it frequently you'll be listed as a pattern day trader.

No margin, I'm too chicken poo poo for that. It's just this one trade so I'm not worried.

Yeah, it's a free ride violation but generally that just means you might get a phone call. Just dont close this new trade for whatever trade date plus 3 business days and you're fine.

I own one and I think that TSLA belongs in the 200's MAYBE. Their best bet right now is autonomous uber.

Sold a 910/905 put spread expiring Friday, so please get ready to open your short positions now. Leaving an order open to close it out at 50% profit.

Bought it back when TSLA spiked ~970 for about 25% profit because take profits.

Then they went ITM. Lol dodged that bullet :v:

Just so I can gauge my situation, what happens if the market tanks tomorrow and my put goes wildly in the green. Would selling it put me at risk of getting the trade annulled or something like that?

Even with that drop, TSLA closed up $5 from the open.

Which was up ~100 from yesterday's close.

Consult your broker but generally you would get your account frozen and be limited to cash and closing transactions only for 90 days. If you dont want to talk to your broker you can search for Free Ride Violation

This is legitimately terrifying, I understand irrational markets and short term blah blah but the market is not responding to a literal black swan (Yes, China suddenly disclosing a viral outbreak and shutting down qualifies as a black swan)

It's... really weird. Reminds me a little of the bliss of early-to-mid 2007, when if you were paying attention you could see the housing situation deteriorating daily but meanwhile the markets went to new highs.

Chinese Starbucks knock-off Luckin Coffee (LK) is up 15% today, which puts it above levels from a month ago before the anyone had heard of coronavirus. Seems legit

I got a margin agreement on file specifically to to not worry about this. Fidelity, at least, makes it very clear when trading what you can do without “using” the margin, and having the agreement on file at all eliminates settlement violations like this even if you don’t use it.

You can open up from yesterday’s close with bad price action that presages selling.

Sold a few more DIS calls before close. Wish I would have dumped them all. TSLA day trade for 50%.

It'll hit 1000. Probably not tomorrow or this week but it will continue to burn shorts. Fun day though.

Yes the DNC is backing the open homosexual that immediately alienates a big chunk of the base

Well, I went with 666 shares of Buttigieg because it's the sexy number

And 285 shares of TRUMP! because that's how many electoral votes he's going to get

Pete worked at one of those consulting companies that comes in to your place of work, looks around, bothers the people who can extract data into providing headcount, salary, and benefits and then recommends doing the same amount of work with less people.

Edit: they call it benchmarking to other peer groups and I've yet to see it done well and generally it just fucks with the morale of people working.
