Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[无名的]

fukk this stock shyt, I have stock in Cere and tlm. They ain't doing shyt fam

Breh you gotta be patient.



But you do realize TLM was acquired for $8, right? The lower than $8 current price reflects the risk premium built in for a deal that could fall through... there's not much money to be made there now. The deal will either go through for $8... fall through and plummet (depending on oil prices)... or a better offer will come through and who knows where the price goes. The last 2 aren't likely... so you aren't going to get much more out of TLM.

most of Vanguards funds are cheap and perform well - i messed up and picked some randon mutual funds and those were my only losers (although it was precious metals and a high income fund).

So I got the invite to sign up for Robin Hood and free trades. Has anyone signed up yet and if so how is the experience?

i got an invite, but i am not on an iphone/ipad

they do not have an android app yet unfortunately..i would have moved all of my OX over.

strategy, I'm in right now.

Iron condor on the RUT -

iron condor allows you to sell premiums on a putspread and call spread simulataneously to lock into a profitable range.

Basically if you believe a stock will not move below or above a certain channel you can utilize an iron condor to make money on this trading range.

I have the RUT Ironcondor for Feb 1050/1060 and 1260/1270. So basically i believe Rut won't fall below ~1060 and go above ~1260 in two months.

Looking at the chart for the past 5 years - shows that RUT has never traded that high - so while a risky play it's manageable.

Going for 2.75 per contract (so you will make $275 per contract if the range is held by Feb ) - RUT is currently at 1216

Everything I hear about Vanguard is great, but the 3k minimum deposit is too much for me right now.


How about Schwab?

I picked Vanguard initially years ago because of the low fees but I now realize it doesn't matter how much in fees they charge it is how much of a return they are giving you net of fees. The vanguard funds I have are just passively managed so I was looking for the lowest fees possible.

I can't really comment on Schwab I've never used them.

Greece might screw things up again. 3rd election now and they still can't pick a president.

Maybe time for Greeks to break out their drachmas.
