Some fuckery is afoot with GME at the moment, if anyone is still paying attention. Halted at $119 after dipping to 70 something.
People are saying the SEC restricted short selling of GME, but not sure if it's true.
I am mostly off the hypetrain but kept 1/3 of my shares because I'm comfortable with that amount going to 0.

It's recovered half of today's losses so far.

lol, hate when that happens.
I grabbed some more SPY when it dipped into the 370's last week

Short sale restriction is supposed to kick in once an equity loses 10% of its value in a trading session, but if it continues to dip that means people are just selling and cutting their losses.

Halted twice in the last 20 mins. I'm hoping it goes back up to a decent number to minimize my losses
I am getting the fuck OUT around $200 if it gets that high

I sold at 93. I thought I wouldn’t mind losing my initial investment but I did.

Yes you can buy shares via a European broker. However when you deposit money into your account it is EUROs.
So you would have to convert it from EURO to USD via your trading app. DO NOT start trading unless you do this or else the stocks you are buying will be money used from the broker. They will charge you a margin fee

I use degiro cause you can choose an account there that doesn't allow margin.

Any reason to choose SPY over VOO? Nearly identical holdings, market caps, performance, etc. while SPY gets the nod on dividends and VOO gets the nod on ER and price. I ended up going with VOO over SPY years ago when I started throwing money into the market and just curious why SPY seems to be so much more popular.

WHOA! That's a long time.
What do you mean by the bolded?
Does Trivago like staying around $2.15? If so, I'm guessing it makes sense to buy it if it hit under $2 right?
Hmmmmm.......marked.

I don't think it actually has higher dividend I think it only looks higher because each share is more expensive when taken as a percent voo is higher

Other than Playstation are they expected to do well?

I would be a little skeptical. Even with PlayStation, there's uncertainty due to components shortages and no clear timeline on when that will be rectified. Sony Pictures is almost certainly in the red, and they have no dedicated streaming service to provide alternative revenue.

I'm holding. Up only 0.30%.

Good point. I know they have focused a lot more on Playstation as they have sold off other aspects but I havent not kept up.

Thinking the US Stock Market will crash in the next few months once the Stimulus is stopped.
Currently back up to 25% gains across the Portfolio.
Gamestop really went down quite fast. I expected it to stay up for another week.
Not sure if any UK Investors here are in B&M Shares, but they are paying their 2nd Dividend in the space of 2 months!?!

How to Use Benchmarks in Investing
Investment benchmarks are used to evaluate investment funds and portfolios. Funds and investment portfolios generally have established benchmarks for standard analysis.

Ok so...this might be a duh moment but calls/options are starting to make sense for me.
It seems like as long as the market volatility is stable they are a safe way to try and make some money but you just have to have the capital to input. Like looking at some AAPL calls I am seeing some of them that go out to march lets say have very low risk as long as your have the $1500-$2000 to put up for the premiums. And as long as the market doesn't totally tank you are unlikely to have anything terrible happen?

Personal advice dont mess with calls/options unless you really know what ur doing. The best investment strategy is still to buy and hold.

Not buying anything yet but I am trying to understand it more than anything.

Maybe, but those are basically gambling on underlying while owning stock is much more safe. I personally am not ready for such level of stress so until I have time and put effort into a strong case I am not touching those. Yes, there's leverage but those gambling mechanisms are shady business.
To me the best way to actually use options is to protect losses or to insure gains through puts at least on a basic level.

I know we talking about options BUT GOOGL options baby!!!
Alphabet logs 6% jump as ad-sales rebound spurs 23.5% revenue gains in Q4
- Alphabet is jumping postmarket (GOOG +6.1%, GOOGL +6.4%) after easily surpassing fourth-quarter earnings expectations with a quarter showing a healthy rebound in ad spending and broad revenue gains companywide.
- Revenues soared 23.5% overall to $56.9%, and operating income jumped 69% to $15.65B.
- Net income meanwhile jumped to $15.23B from the prior-year $10.67B.
- Higher revenues were driven by Search and YouTube as consumer/business activity rebounded from the pandemic onset.
- Google Cloud saw a substantial uptick in revenues, but was a drag on operating income, losing $1.24B for the quarter (and losing $5.6B in fiscal 2020).
- “Our strong results this quarter reflect the helpfulness of our products and services to people and businesses, as well as the accelerating transition to online services and the cloud," says CEO Sundar Pichai.
- Revenue by segment: Google Search & other, $31.9B (up 17.4%); YouTube ads, $6.89B (up 46%); Google Network Members' properties, $7.41B (up 22.9%); Google other, $6.67B (up 26.8%); Google Cloud, $3.83B (up 46.6%); Other Bets, $196M (up 14%).
- Operating margin rose to 28% from a year-ago 20%. Traffic acquisition costs rose to $10.47B from $8.5B

I saw some rooms in Clubhouse with this title and just dismissed it as craziness.
Goddamn. End of an era for sure. Wonder if this will change the stock at all.

Really excellent explanation of why Robinhood did what it did last week.
I'm still leaving the platform, because they fucked up their communications and I'm not confident in their long-term solvency, but man, if they just put out this proper explanation last Wednesday evening, I feel like things would have been very different for them.

Vanguard vs. Fidelity: Which Should You Choose?
Both Vanguard and Fidelity manage huge mutual fund portfolios, but Fidelity is the better option, having opened up its platform to cater to investors at all levels.

The one thing he forgot to explain is that Payment Order Flow Businesses are the worst when it comes to this kind of situation.
I personally would have recommended to close Robin-Hood completely and transfer shares to more capitalized broker that is able to meet net capital requirements
Also if anyone wants to learn more about how settlements are done see below.

This is bullshit though, they should have made a public announcement during trading hours instead of waiting until 45 minutes before premarket opened.
Watching the stock go from about $500 to $340 in that time was the longest 45 minutes of my life and regardless of their stated intentions it had a very clear positive effect for Wallstreet Hedgefunds and a very clear negative effect for retail traders.
Fuck Robinhood.

Robinhood CEO calls for real-time trade settlement
- After receiving a $3B deposit demand from the National Securities Clearing Corporation last week in the height of the GameStop (NYSE:GME) -56% rally, Robinhood (RBNHD) is now calling for trades to settle in real-time.
- CEO Vlad Tenev writes in a blog that the current two-day settlement period, known as T+2, exposes investors and the industry to unnecessary risk.
- "The clearinghouse deposit requirements are designed to mitigate risk, but last week’s wild market activity showed that these requirements, coupled with an unnecessarily long settlement cycle, can have unintended consequences that introduce new risk," Tenev says.
- He adds that the industry moved to two days from three days four years ago and stakeholders, including the SEC and Depositary Trust & Clearing Corporation, see the benefits of shorter settlement time.
- Technology "is the answer, not the oft-cited impediment," Tenev says.
- Robinhood whittled down its list of limited stocks to six today and boosted trade limits on shares.
This by the way means no more Citadel. But it move towards brokerage fees.
