Webull Canada is going to give me CAD$10K for free once my transfer goes through

Does the US have a bunch of transfer promos like this? Why are brokers givng out free cash?? I kinda get it if it was managed investing with 1% fees but no they're self-directed accounts

>>60655182
I got 100 from schwab, 150ish from webull, and am supposed to get 50 from tastytrade

>>60655182
they loan out your cash and equities

>>60655202
Webull is giving 1.5% interest on uninvested cash so I actually like that, still bad compared to just buying a cash high-interest / money market ETF but better than

Loaning shares out I guess I can really fuck over brokers if I'm just transferring out $1M of SPY or something? Barely any money they can get from loaning, never mind that I'll prob wont be selling so no commission fees either lmao

Why do people even rob banks when banks will give out literally free money

How does the transfer work? Can I transfer some of my scotia itrade to it and get a cash % back?

>>60655300
im transferring from TD and Wealthsimple and yeah thats basically it, transfer in-kind and it'll just transfer your portfolio as is (do not pick the in cash/sell everything option lol) -> just triple check before you submit the transfer

The redflagdeals thread for it is active but the actual title doesnt mention the 2% cashback since it came after the initial promos -> you can look under the OP's post under community notes for more details, or the more recent discussions

https://forums.redflagdeals.com/webull-webull-deposit-transfer-earn-bonuses-up-10k-possibly-existing-users-only-referral-bonus-up-10k-2767651/

I had scotia before when they were charging me $24.99 per trade fuck that
After I hit around $100K with scotia I transferred to CIBC for a 1% promo cashback back then, transferred to Wealthsimple for the free iphone15 promo (if u transfer 100k into them) and then to TD when I had ~$150K for another 1% promo but I'm going to transfer prematurely (and not get that 1% promo) since Webull is offerring better and my portfolio went up a lot more so I can get $10K Webull, instead of $1K from TD

I really dont get it, they are just giving free money. I'm ditching Webull after the 1 year hold and prob moving back to CIBC or Wealthsimple whoeveer has a better transfer promo after Webull promo

>>60655327
Holy, way too much reading
I just want to transfer a few stocks in my scotia itrade though, does that work? Or does it have to be whole portfolio?

>>60655334
Yes this is possible but I'm not sure what the process is with Webull. It's a pain to do partial transfers since you have to list out each stock, instead of just clicking 1 option (in-kind)
Frankly, I didn't even check if there was that option. I do remember seeing 1) in-kind , 2) in cash, 3) ??? I didnt even look at the 3rd box maybe that was the partial transfer option ???
Seems more trouble than it's worth, I just did in-kind and will be transferring everything so I can get CAD$10K
you'll get 2% of whatever you transfer so it's easier to just do the whole thing

If ur scared abotu Webull being chinese, they're still CIPF insured and really the actual custodian is CI Financial, Webull is just the front (just like how moomoo canada is actually just an IBKR reskin). Whatever data the Chinese get from me, it won't be worth $10K lol

>>60655981
Its the classic carry trade to exploit interest rate differentials, when you want decent returns outside of bonds, and arent bullish on equities. Usually high end traders would also use a forward contract to hedge downside risk.

Like, is there a reason you'd be bullish or bearish on one side right now? People seem pretty bullish, and I want to stack materials/producers right now (separately, AUS is a good proxy for China's economy, it goes up when theyre building shit, coal too)

I have ideas, but I'm not good at executing on macro

>>60655989
>differentials

>>60655989
so i don't even probably have margin to do that but was looking at a long januaryish? i can't remember. anyways i though of it again recently, instead i just did ITM FXY puts which i've since rolled out, but the idea was people were still thinking about "yen carry" even though most of the positioning was squeezed out but the short stance on swissy remained, and given swissy has the same carry trade but the leverage hasn't been squeezed out yet, that could be a spicy trade. haven't seen sentiment change the entire time since, people still think yen carry is squeezeable while ignoring franc while momentum is even in favor now, making it maybe look like a better entry than it even was before

I am once again asking you faggots why you aren't invested in mining stocks?

Your metals will do a 3x MAYBE.
Mining stocks are a leveraged play on metals and if you're young you should be doing higher risk, more reward plays like that instead of buying "safe" boomer plays like buying physical metals.

I have a question for pic related anon.

I’m 34 and my Roth IRA is 100% VTI. I was thinking of adding SCHD, but I checked out your QQQI and now my noggin is joggin about allocations for dividend income.

Is there any reason to start adding SCHD/QQQI to my Roth or should I wait until I’m closer to retirement?

Why did you include them and could you put them in a taxable account?

>>60656262
>schd
nigga are you retarded
the only point of dividend funds is hedging against tech degeneracy, if you're a degenerate doing 80+% tech then hedging a bit with schd makes sense, but why for the love of god (unless you're 60+) would you ever invest in it over an index fund unless you hate money

>>60656276
money come in smile go up. not much different than sandp if your income is sub 60 a year.

>>60656280
so we're in agreement, 5% dividend appreciation vs 20% stonk growth means dividend investors are retarded

>>60656276
He does not want to "think about money". That's why he goes the divident route. Less votality, less "angst", less panic.

>>60656297
but if thats the case just get VOO or if you're young SCHG and get even more money why go with consistently subpar selections, dividend investing has value if you're hedging against growth but why would anyone build a portfolio around it

>>60656332
That’s precisely why the FUCK I ASKED ABOUT his allocation to QQQI/SCHD.

I wanted to know his personal philosophy in that choice

My god.
>just get VOO

>>60656389

>>60656402

With 5 shares, I'm now OFFICIALLY a SRPT investor and potential baggie.

Yo what, Civ VI Platinum for free on Epic Store

Having listened to Dave Ramsey in the past I never even considered the possibility of car payments.
But just as a curiosity I examined the possibility of financing a $60k car in the most safe terms possible - $25k down and only 24 months repayment schedule.
The initial payment + balloon are the entire car's cash value. The 24 months of monthly payments is essentially only the interest - an extra $9k.

Why are people doing this to themselves.

>>60656577
In europe cars cost 20-25 k

And they are better than us gas guzzling shitboxes

Here are some popular investing scams you should avoid :

1) Gold / silver: When you 'invest' in gold through the stock market, you dont actually own any gold. You simply pay for exposure to its price fluctuations. Even if they were historically as inflation hedges, these metals have lost that role to crypto. So invest in crypto instead of boomer rocks.

2) Dividends: Unless you can throw literally half a million in a dividend etf, you are losing money. And if you can afford to do that, you have beat the game already.

3) Yieldmax etfs: Gigantic scam. You basically pay to receive 1/3rd of the income you can make from selling covered calls on the stocks and missing on their upside. So you are literally paying to get ripped off.

4) Bonds: Nobody, even governments or institutions buy bonds for profit. They buy them for political leverage or if they are literally required by law to do so. Guess how much political leverage, you, the retail trader have. Buying bonds is guaranteed loss.

>>60656615
>2) Dividends: Unless you can throw literally half a million in a dividend etf, you are losing money. And if you can afford to do that, you have beat the game already.

why lie?

time and time its been proven that compounding over a long time is the superior strategy.

>>60656615

>>60656746
There’s a bit more nuance to dividends, it’s not really an all or nothing situation. Traditionally dividends have been seen as evidence that a company is profitable, and paying a healthy dividend has helped to boost the share price as well. That’s all changed a bit in the modern era of tech firms running on enormous P/E ratios, or even a loss. For them a dividend signals that they’ve got nothing better to do with their cash, no growth-generating areas to invest it in, so if they started to pay out in any significant quantity then it might bring their share price crashing back down to earth. In this sort of environment dividends have become something which you only really get from boomerish stocks, more traditional industries without obvious prospects for rapid expansion. Inevitably that means you’re sacrificing some upside potential for a steadier payout, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get good share price performance as well. I bought shares in a mismanaged company which was paying a 5%-odd dividend. They sorted their shit out and the price went up by about 30. The dividend payment fell to about 3%, but that still meant that by the time I sold I was getting more than my initial buy in in dividends each year.

I will say as well that a high dividend can be a big warning sign - it means that the share price might have tanked recently, or the management is making large payouts to try to push it up, so there’s a good chance that it won’t be sustainable and they’ll have to cut it before long. What you want from dividends is not big payouts now from a static company, it’s moderate and sustainable payouts from a growing one. Like in my example above, when the share price goes up so will your dividend yield compared to how much you invested in the first place.

>>60656778
>What you want from dividends is not big payouts now from a static company, it’s moderate and sustainable payouts from a growing one.

I just want some fucking dividends. I’m gonna buy schd close to retirement and it’s all just going to fucking work out

i financed my 30k car over 3 years for 3.99% interest with $0 down
i had the cash to buy, but im glad i pay by cash since i 3x'd the cash while financing

i needed a car regardless and a used car for a 20k came with 50k km mileage so it was better to just buy a new car for 30k
2023 was unfortunately still fked for the used car market, maybe still fked now, my 2009 shitbox was dying and i didnt want to risk getting stranded

I think I'm going to buy some Crypto on Coinbase, stake it to earn interest and short the same Crypto as CFD on a broker and collect 10% interest there too.

There's no point in gambling your money on stocks and options if you're waging and just starting out.
You're risking a months salary for what? a few hundred profit at most?
divvies are the way to go

>>60657197
My goal is to park enough money for at least 2k a month in dividend income.
Once I have enough stacked I'll start selling way otm covered calls to retard algos, generating even more revenue while keeping my hoard safe.
This is the only investment where you get excited when it's red to add more to your stack.
Some of my SCHD sub $27 buy orders went through on friday and I wasn't worried about catching knives or whatever.
If you can only put a few thousand towards investing this is the way to go, nothing else will generate meaningful wealth for you at this point imo.
You guys are right about the yieldmax shit though.

>>60657197
theres no jobs in this shithole so i will gamble for a living

>>60657197
Take it from someone who did the div thing from age 20-30, its a waste. You dont need the income, go compare the total return to spy or voo. If I could redo it I'd go qqq or schg. My yoc is great and also, it doesnt matter.

>>60655687
THE HOUSE OF ASSAD HAS FALLEN JOHN LENNON

>>60655900
Well if its tightly regulated and not tight on supply then those are not going to keep up

>>60657210
To add a caveat if their is a lost decade divies will outperform but in all likelihood you have only 1 lost decade in 30 years investing. Optimizing for maybe 1/3 of the period does not make sense, I do see the value in doing this after 20 years tho

>>60657210
These are revenue generating assets not just stocks.
I am getting $100 a month by doing literally nothing and risking very little.
Eventually you can start genuinely supplementing or replacing your income entirely.
You can split the dividends up, reinvest 50% and put the other 50% in VOO etc if you want.
Why wait when you can start the snowballing now?

>>60657224
Because if you just bought voo and traded it for divs in 20 years you'd have more, even with a tax hit

>>60657228
VOO is too expensive to get covered call income from compared to schd or spyi.

>>60657234
Cc its a hit to total return long term unless you do like 5 delta and then what's the point

>>60657240
if schd doesn't hit $30 by september i will consneed to your strategy hows that

>>60657274
Both work well enough, you can still make a good retirement off schd,im just trying to save you from the mistake I made. I still hold those divies but I stopped adding more to it until im closer to the endgame

>>60657240
>Cc its a hit to total return long term
Thats not true

>>60657328
It is, eventually you blow up. As I said earlier with 5 delta you can avoid this but then fees will eat up the tiny premium, or if you manually do it its very labor intensive and is poor $/hour unless you have a huge stack

>>60657346
.15-.25 is fine if you sell 30-45 days out and at relative peaks on the line. Its literally retard proof, time is on your side. How are you fucking this up? Are you selling like a week out

>>60657377
It can work for years yes but if you try to do that for 20 years straight you blow up

Bitcoin Cash? More like Bitcoin Crash, amirite?

>>60657382
What does “blow up” mean to you. If you do it right the only downside is capping your gains if something suddenly moons, and even then, you just roll out until it settles down

>>60657182
I live in southwest Virginia, those glowies pay for our stuff.

>>60657388
In this context, blowing up would be underperforming the underlying. You cant just "roll out" indefinitely, eventually you hit a bad streak

Buy SBSW

>>60657403
If you implement this for years on an index tracking fund or index beating stock, it would take a lot more than one bad options sale that you cant roll out to underperform over the same time horizon. You would have already locked in years worth of additional gains. Capping gains with contracts once does not mean blowing up your acct. you can just immediately buy back in if you want the underlying back in your folio

>>60657426

Nothing this guy is saying is wrong. Wielded by a fucking retard trying to use ccs as a divvy replacement or worse, the actual engine of returns, without looking at or considering any price action, ccs will be implemented the wrong way and arbitraged against the wrong phenomena. Anyone that believed covered calls and covered call ETFs are equivalent implementations of this strat basically automatically disqualify themselves from discussion. Im not saying this guy is saying that, hes obviously intelligent, but people parroting this video may be getting that takeaway. Selling covered calls at any point in time on your stock regardless of recent price action is a great way to underperform in exactly the way hes suggesting. The strat requires that you slightly time the market and sell calls at a local maximum when it is less likely for your underlying to moon in 15-25 days. The entire strength, however, is that you dont need to guess perfectly, because theta bails you out.
He said it himself right at the start, at 2:03:
>unless options are overpriced
thats exactly when you sell them

>>60657546
I think April was the high and svix will do better tho I would not buy it, too risky

>>60657561
In addition, my credentials are that i successfully sold covered calls on fucking SOXL from 2020-2022 and was not exercised once. I almost got caught in the final moon mission to 70 but rolled it out successfully and sold at like 60 or something

>>60657546
Buy it as a hedge?

I don't do stuff like that but I saw people on twitter buying puts on high yield corporate junk bonds? That must be an ETF

Nigger you have invested 50k + to make 100 a month. I have a literal eurofag 12 k poortofolio and I make 100 per week selling 1 put. Dividends suck unless you put a million in them and get 3k a month.

>>60657685
are you retarded? I posted my positions several times. it only took around 13k for $100 a month. at 50k you should be well over 500

>>60657689
>10% yield
You are investing in a ponzi scheme

>>60657689
13 k invested in hood can net you 5 times that a month from covered calls

You just have to push some buttons

>>60657699
spyi is not the same as a yieldmax shitter
>>60657707
yes and then you lose 20% when it dumps

>>60657713
You have unrealized losses when your divvy etf pays out as well. Plus you have 0 upside because its a fucking divvy etf.

Look, dividends have their place, and that's when you retire. You cannot contribute to your portfolio anymore due to not working, and now you want your portfolio to sustain you. But investing in dividends in your growth phase is like giving 80% of your salary to a pension fund.

Can any leafs give advice on Fairfax? I was advised to be careful of this one because it's owned by an Indian tycoon and it seems too good to be true. It's the 24th holding in Vanguard's FTSE Canada fund, it resembles Berkshire and I can't find any negative information about it. It's either this or CSU for my TFSA.

>>60657949
is fairfax doing any ai shit because you got the whole venture exchange and you're picking a credit rating company at this time

im trimming my ai d______s position and theres still plenty other shit with upside after that to buy after
even intermap on venture still has lots of juice left (prob hit $10 if it ends up winning potentially $200m contract from indonesia that no one else is positioned to win because it was such an obscure product/tech that no one wanted to develop until ai gave it a breakthrough)
yes im investing through a tfsa and fhsa too

Study the different ETFs, which sector/market they focus on. Fees can eat away at any potential gain limiting your growth. All sectors in the market go through cycles, the market also goes through cycles. These cycles matter less when you are young, but when you are near/at/in retirement a down cycle can affect your portfolio/retirement income until it recoves (depending on how much you have - if you have more than enough then a normal down cycle is not concerning). At 34 you have time to invest, learn, and make adjustments for your needs. When you are young its good to stick with the most stable growth ETFs. ETF help spread risk. You can also invest in several ETFs like VOO, SPY, SCHD at any percentage you want and monitor growth of each every every year and direct more or less money into ones you prefer. I suggest you consider a small amount into certain newer stocks that have potential as their rapid growth can dramatically increase your portfolio. You monitor the growth of those companies and sell some of that stock and invest more into your ETFs for save keeping and more growth. For a taxable account growth stocks non div ETFs are best to avoid getting taxed which helps kill your gains. If you need money you can always sell some stock then pay capital gains if needed. You will learn how it all works along the way.

I don't think they're doing any AI bullshit, no. I just need a few reliable Canadian stocks alongside half VFV because Canadian index funds don't perform well enough. I just started investing a few weeks ago now that I've graduated university and before I was using one of my bank's mutual funds which was taking me for a fool robbing me with a 2% MER. How are you picking out these AI stocks? One of the only other sources I'm using are the boomers over at the Financial Wisdom Forum which influenced me to buy some CGO after it dipped, but was probably a bad decision since their earnings have been dropping for the past two years. And if you could bear with me being so new could you please tell me why it would be a bad idea to pick a credit rating company now? I plan on investing in BMO too.

Where can I buy minute-to-minute trading data on all S&P companies for the last six months?

>How are you picking out these AI stocks?
they get shilled to me, even PNG.V was shilled here back in 2020 (although it did crash then had to recover) and i just verify which one has a good value and already making profit
PNG.V is too late but even that has a ttm pe of ~50 meaning it's actually profitable and not burning cash (i.e. diluting on shareholders just to pay rent). unfortunately it's too expensive now, basically a 1 billion market cap already, better to find something that's still cheap, easier for company to go from 100 million market cap to 500 million market cap (5x), rather than 1 billion to 5 billion; after all a $100 million contract is probably easier to win compared to a $1 billion contract, or whatever their ai solutions is expected to win (maybe quantity over quality)

you just buy when it's cheap, just dont get into ai companies that can be easily replaced, e.g. liquid cooling ai solutions for data centers lol i forgot the name but one ticker that dealt with that got heemed when amazon just decided to develop their own solution

can any /smg anons help me out? started out investing in SPY, VT, SWPPX, RSP, UNH, and BRK-B. a majority of my portfolio is in SWPPX and VT, but I don't feel like I own anything. im relegating my involvement to Vanguard and State Street. I heard an anon say for accounts below 100k (im at 50k for stocks (poorfag I know, but I have real estate and other investments)) should just pick 5 stocks and stick with them for growth. but do any of you try and mimic the top 15-20 holding of SP500 fund and actually hold the stocks in there? "VOO and chill" reminds me of the scene from boiler room where the average joe gets scammed by the investing group.

instead of SPY id do like 7% MSFT, 6%AAPL, 6% NVDA, etc going up until stock #20 and then filling the rest with RSP. that way I actually own equities

>futures

>>60659431
Look at the top 10 holdings in each ETF. Let's say specifically VOO, if you buy apple, microsoft, google.....you are making your own 'ETF' of the top 10 stocks in VOO. If you buy VOO you buy all the stocks they buy. You can someone else's ETF or make your own and rebalance it your self from time to time (adding more of one stock vs another). Or you can buy several ETFs, some 'cash' in a treasury ETF, a bond or two at 4.3%, maybe a little in a few high risk high growth stocks. You will read endless debate about the 'best' approach when there are many approaches that will work for you. I can tell you how many times I read people can't be the market (ETF), my portfolio performance measure says I average 50%/year since I started, about 460% total so far. You may do better, or worse, its a learning process, invest do not gamble and you are better off than 99% of people.

1. Unless you have specialized knowledge in a specific business/field, it's better to stick with tech. This is not to say other industries are bad, they just require more research. Tech trends can be picked up through osmosis, especially if you personally use the products. Similarly, unless you have an inside track on a specific company, it's better to stick with large/mega cap for most of your portfolio.
2. Pick companies you won't sell in and out of for 5 years or more. If you are like most of retail, you invest a set percentage of your salary every week. So smart DCA-ing is your only approach. By sticking to a small number of stocks over a long period, you are achieving diversification through time.
3. That said, it's fine to have a few speculative investments, like small cap companies or crypto. Just understand that they are riskier, require more of your attention, and keep the amount small enough so that you won't cry over losing it.
4. Do keep investing in an ETF. Even riskier leveraged ETFs are fine as long as your time horizon is sufficiently lengthy, and you have the stomach to keep investing even when the market is down. In fact, investing more when the market is ugly is crucial to winning with leveraged ETFs. You have to be positioned before the run.
5. If an investment goes down because of macroeconomics (the entire market is down), power through it. Hold, and invest even more. Buy the dip. If the VIX is high, buy. If sentiment is down even though the business is still great, buy. Conditions based on emotions fluctuate all the time.

smallcaps you have the advantage as retail, you can go in and out instantly without having to worry about liquidity, if you picked a company thats actually profitable and growing you get to dump on institutions when they can only START buying in when it's over $100m market cap

smallcap tickers you and i already missed out on
TSSI
ZDC.V
PNG.V
IMP.TO (-> this one maybe still has upside to $10 even after 10x but hard to commit to with a large position at this point)

theres fewer and fewer, many that had their run might still have a 2x or 3x left in them since the ai bubble hasnt really started yet until we see people speculating on ai smallcaps with no actual business, so far the ones i pointed out above have actual fundamentals (but too late, prob only 2x or 3x left in them and thats if ai bubble is in full force)

it's not a bubble until russell 2000 is also overbought, it is not even the beginning

well i mean this is why you can't just take what the company says at face value, you need a third-party industry expert validating them

not gonna bother, the most i can prob reasonably risk is maybe $2K-$5K so it won't have much impact to me even if it 10x's
i'd rather just keep the money in a play that'll "only" give me a 2x or 3x that is at least a legit business with multiple third-party sources (big public customers) that give them contracts..

interesting to keep in my watchlist and see how much i miss out on for not gambling

god it feels so shit trying to ride Intermap up for the remaining potential upside to $10 though even if they do get a huge contract (Indonesia), this shit was already 10x from like last year

but at the same time I scoffed at TSSI also being a 10x last year even if Dell could potentialyl give them much more business that overwhelms their market cap, so it still went like 5x more from $4, but i skipped it lmao coz i was too obsessed with something else (basically a value trap in hindisght)

And most of that "healthcare" are HR admins and nurses from Haiti.

When Elon bought Twitter, he facilitated the transaction via a holding company. It was publicly listed and had a nominal $10 share price and no business activity. I was allowed to buy options so I dropped $50 on calls. Nothing happened, their transaction went, and I lost money. Kek

I got junk mail today with an offer for a personal loan. It doesn't list an interest rate on the loan, but does list numbers -- $21,000 loan, $371 payment per month, 5 year repayment term. This maths out to a 2.4% interest rate.

That's lower than even bonds are. I'm seriously tempted to pursue this to see if I can actually get them to give me the loan, then just dump it all in bonds or a HYSA for risk free money. Seems stupid not to do it, if it's legit. Plus hey, extra credit score pumping is always nice.

>>60660411
Just wait for a better offer. Rates will be negative next year.

>>60660411
Its common to give loans a name, like "2.1%" loan but its actually 20% or more. Read the fine print. Its a scam.

>>60660426
Oh, I'm sure it's a scam. I'll have to call them to figure out what the scam is, though, there's no details on the letter. It's probably just a "oh, you don't actually qualify for that loan, here's the loan you do qualify for" deal though.

Still though, if I could get the loan they put on the advert, putting it in bonds at 4.5% returns would net about $1300 over 5 years. Which would be neat.

Scammers are not looking for smart people, they are looking for senior citizens with alzheimers who cant reason and give away all their money. If you think you can outsmart them, they have a ton of lawyers who wrote the loan contracts and if you sign it what is going to be your excuse when you get raped and credit destroyed?

Are you a Euro?
The USD stopped declining and maybe even strengthened a bit recently, so we gain more

This is a lot of cope however since I'm down like -15% YTD on currency alone even though everything I own has gone up

>>60660973
yeah the etf is in eur, but that shouldn't matter, right? unless the blue line is in USD for some reason

maybe it is

>>60660976
The ETF is in EUR, but all of the companies earning money in there do so in dollars. I bought and index fund in EUR and was in the red for weeks while the S&P was growing all the time - turns out that the euro was strenghtening at about the same proportion as the S&P, so it was entirely up to currency difference.
If you buy with a strong Euro and sell with a stronger dollar you're doing a convoluted version of currency hedging.

>>60661011
but value is value, the ETF I hold should have the same value in euro as the S&P in euro - unless IBKR ignores the "main account currency" setting for this chart, and it would just match if I were to switch that to usd

i have some stuff i bought back during covid and i just didn't do any more investing until really this past year.
i can't do anything about it but if i would have just bought more shit when it was on sale i'd actually be in a very good position instead of just an ok position.
i mean, i didn't have the foresight at the time, but i just stopped looking at it for years and missed out on a lot. and now i'm nearly 30 and i feel like i shot myself in the foot somewhat?

I used to feel like that but as long as you hold, over time these ATH feel cheap. They won't feel like this right now it'll be a lil scary to hold for the next 6 months but there's so much growth in the US economy and stock ownership only reaches more masses each year, Think India, Nigeria, Indonesia and other emerging economies all hopping on Robinhood and throwing their meagre life savings at the S&P500. Over literal billions of biomasses it amounts to the most capital there has ever been injected into the markets, each day more third worlders gain internet access and want to get rich quck, stocks and crypto are the obvious vehicles.

Also if the stock crashes then the ETP would also lose money since they hold the stock to sell calls, these ETP seem to be only worthwhile for bonds which are not volatile and another way to siphon money from retail who lack understanding

covered calls isn't a strategy that is supposed to be applied passively like DCAing
you should be the one selling the calls at your desired strike price and expiration date

Its just easier for me to think of income as something you buy in exchange for total return. There is some nuances and exceptions like sideways markets/option mispricing/weird tax stuff but basically if I do not need the income then I do not trade my total return for it

No

Thinking about buying SBSW tomorrow. Normally i wouldn't do this because it's not on the DC insiders list. But alas a small bet won't hurt and i'm feeling lucky recently. Any comments?

aren't small credit spreads good?

Damn PEW got raped, glad I didn´t FOMO in. Netflix share price is quite amusing, I saw a couple people complaining about it having beat but share price still going down even though it has been overvalued since 700 USD lol. 2% EPS yield right now, basically only growth prospects being deals to get people ensnared into the monthly subscription for cheap or raising the subscription which would just lead more people to piracy.

why rely on AI for that, you can easily look it up and compare multiple companies probably faster that asking AI. Not sure why everyone wants to trust AI for their work and thinking.

He´s only retarded if he asks ´AI´ but doesn´t fact check it. Otherwise it is a bit faster for me at least, but it isn´t always correct.

thanksgiving at my moms is so fuking lit dudes, the gravy, stuffing, bird, sweet potatoes, but mostly its the 100+ year old apple pie recipe, the plebs in my family prefer the pumpkin pie but they have poor taste
