OT: Stock trading

[aburks41]

CNBC going on about pensions being invested in Hedge Funds. If a hedge fund is shorting stocks with PENSION FUNDS then they need to be shut down immediately. That is incredibly incredibly dangerous

It may have been said here before but probably worth repeating, if you're thinking of going into any of these names, only invest what you're willing to lose. I'm sitting on the sideline watching this debacle unfold and while I like the idea of Main Street vs Wall Street, it's not going to end well for some.

Exactly. I would gladly throw some $ in for the fun of it, but only money I can afford to lose. Treat it like you would money spent at a casino in Vegas.

Curious to see if these stocks are available to me via Fidelity when the market opens.

It's not going to end well for a lot of folks. There is no doubt in my mind that there are a lot of newbie investors that have not a clue how this all works. Think of folks who have an unhealthy predilection to gambling. This is really no different and it has more of a feel of legitimacy - I'm trading and investing.

As for the Wall Street crowd, there big boys and if they get banged around a bit so be it....imo.

So I have access to all of these WSB stocks on Fidelity.

Edit: Robin Hood is trash.

 

[Brochacho]

Man, rich people suck. They got exposed by the layman and took their ball and went home. lol.

HOLD THE LINE

My guess is A LOT of folks will be looking for a new trading platform after this. Makes their name completely ridiculous.

I'd still bet on Wall St for the same reason casinos tend to stay in business. Wall St has more money to ride stuff out and make the long play.

And apparently just change the rules if they're losing.

I sold a couple different stocks after hours to free up some stale money in case I wanted to jump on something quickly. Robinhood hasn't put those through yet. Not sure if they're so jammed up or just slow on purpose.

$nakd still a good buy at $2.50?

 

[August_West]

I love how these shenanigans explode crypto

 

[Dooch]

I've been trying to sell some of my AAL shares thru Fidelity and it's giving me an error every time.....such BS

 

[HuskyHawk]

So if I were to futz around with these, better AMC or Naked?

 

[tiger8mush]

Robinhood
"Due to ongoing volatility, some securities like AMC and GME are position-closing only."

 

[UConnSwag11]

yeah, the guy who was tweeting about UAVS when it was cheap is saying $NAKD will go over $5 long term I believe

 

[tiger8mush]

$nakd still a good buy at $2.50?

5 mins ago it was at $2.50. It's now over $3.25.

 

[Dibbie]

As an older more conservative investor, it feels so good to be a small part of this movement!

When the stock market tanked last March due to Covid, I was looking to shift my Vanguard 401k to aggressive stock funds to take advantageof the drop. Their website system wouldn't let me do it, and when I called I'd wait two hours and then get disconnected. I was only asking to be able to make changes. I complained to my company's HR, and Vanguard made a change without my consent.... Vanguard sucks. I recently closed my account and moved my money elsewhere.

I grabbed NOK and Naked just for kicks

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I got out of half my position yesterday at 2.65. If it spikes to 4, I'm dumping the rest. I'll take my 3-400% one day return and be happy.

Naked seemed too weird, a small position in NOK similarly just to peek into the party
