I just got done grading my 25 graduate capstone papers, coincidentally .... ergo, scotch awaits!
(And good call on infrastructure investing; it's been a large part of my portfolio for years.)
Anyone playing cryptocurrency outside of the big ones that seem to be 'respectable' (eg, BTC, ETH) truly is throwing their money away unless it's for a quick in-out trade akin to a pump-and-dump scheme.
Bump up.
Any takers here for KSS, currently priced at $14 and yielding 14% dividend?
90% payout ratio and unsteady track of divs in recent years .... not for me.
Deep value investor is a different breed, most of us here do not belong to. With th…

My daughter transferred some money from her bank to her brokerage account the other day. The stupid bank sent her a text with a link to confirm. She asked my opinion--Dad is still good for some things :) --and I told her to call the number on the…
I am a computer illiterate.
Does security features in an OS translate into prevention of virus and malware being implanted in your device? If not, what are the means thru which these things get into my device? I am starting to use mobile Apps on …
When asked about the markets in 2025, online Magic 8 Ball came up with "Outlook good".
You can now buy with confidence.
The one I got from my broker said "Outlook Hazy: Please Shake Again" and charged me a commission....
@Balu. antivirus products are not necessary on Macs. Maybe for peace of mind, but I don't run them.
At least for Macs, more important are good adblocking software in your browser or home network, which stops a lot of cr*p (both legal and maliciou…
WSJ if you don't pay full price. Apart from the editorial pages, their news is pretty much down-the-center ... which is surprising given it's owned by Murdoch.
Bloomberg's website is okay. BusinessWeek has gone to $$#%$% over the years imho.

Per Seeking Alpha this Turkey Day morning....
"The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:ICE) and Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) are watching closely as the SEC approved the first U.S. stock exchange that would operate during most hours of every weekday.

As the US exchanges haven't decided on this yet, the likely 24/5 trading is by using foreign exchanges or private trading involving willing market-makers, hedge-funds, and firms' inventories.
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. Or Schwab's own …
Adding another 1000s of T-C to my income account. GTC order partially filled today.
If called next year, that'd be an extra $5K cap gain per 1000s tranche, which would be nice. Otherwise I'm happy to continue taking the QDI every quarter.
It's ironic that OEF fund companies rolling out active/transparent ETF variants of their existing funds often end up saving some of their 'secret sauce' for the relatively non-transparent OEFs ... which may end up making them a more attractive vehic…
Orders placed to close out PBA and SOBO. Reason? Oil imports to/through the US from Canada may be endangered with the proverbial 'drill baby drill' attitude starting in 2025 ... and the SOBO Keystone pipeline may face tarriffs bringing Canadian oil…
For those wondering, I'm just treading water today. Not buying or selling unless something happens. Tomorrow may be a different day, but unless there's a good opportunity somewhere, I'll probably still be sitting on my hands.
Edit: I did buy som…

He is saying all of Trump followers / supporters are the cult. The real enablers of Trump are Mitch (the tap dancer) and all other Republican politicians who and …
does MAGA realize the judicial system is a tax-funded public good that can also be the target of wasteful litigation? and some citizens have initiated many hundreds of frivilous cases? sure, it will keep him out of prison, but what will trump do…
@rforno,
Call your United card customer service to see if they no longer require you to charge at least once a year to extend the expiration of your United miles.
Thanks. Though tbh, it's become force-of-habit at this point to run some niggling p…
Back when I was trading futures, they were the only way to act on things during the overnight sessions. There's a chance I might dabble with this 'feature' on stocks a few times just for kicks and to see how it works if there's something I want to…
I put nearly all my spend on Amex plat (non-Schwab, only b/c I like the # and don't want to change)....I burn those 1x points for upgraded travel to conferences/vacations. I do get value from the various benefits associated with the high annual fee,…
Careful what you say about mein leader's company. The leader is goot. Heil mein leader. Orange might sue you for $10B if he doesn't like your comments - just ask 60 Minutes.
But you should still vote for him. His tariffs will fix us all. Fix…
Wow. This thing is trading at $55. I was not following this stock but it looks like its low was on Sept 24 at $12. Last 2-3 days, it climbed about $20.
Far far too volatile and far far too likely to be gamed/swayed by nothing more than emotio…
I may have a 403(b) from the university, but *all* of my investments are in my taxable accounts that I consider as 'retirement accounts'. So just focusing on tax-deferred/exempt accounts doesn't present a complete or accurate picture, umho.

In after hours trade, always use limit orders even if the security is God like.
Alwaysalwaysalways in afterhours .... actually, I use limits 99% of the time during the trading day as well.
Rick,
I would be interested in those ETFs with narrow bid ask spreads in the after hours.
SGOV spread is 1 cent as of 1705, which is the same as it was during the regular session. I presume I could sell some if I wanted to ... but not going to wor…
@linter If your fill happens in the last minute, can you sell the next day & all is good? Or do you check brokerage every day, say in the last 10 minutes? Or do you receive confirmation via text or e-mail when your order gets filled?

Added a slug to the shares of SOBO I got from the spinoff from TC Energy earlier this month. Halfway to a 'full' position now. Given its one major pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, it could become like another Williams (for crude) and/or …
Quick update on a Schwab issue I had mentioned previously,
I recently noticed that in all my Schwab accounts I am now able to place a buy stock / ETF order first and then place a sell MM order to cover for the buy. This means that I am also able …
Targeted tarriffs for specific reasons/situations are normal international economic policy.
Blanket tarriffs on everything is isolationist policy and will throw the US (if not world) economy into huge disarray, I feel.
Using 'tarriffs' as a sledge…
have you tried buying, say, PRWCX in the morning and selling, say, $100k of MM later on? or even the equivalent amount from a fund you hold but no longer like, say, VASIX or similar? that's just switching the order from what you do but, again, n…

Investors and day traders apparently did not like what they heard from former President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
Trump gave a whirlwind interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on Tuesday, during which the ex-presid…
