Good question.  They have the same rules, it appears, as others like TD.  3 day trades in a week, unless you have $25k or more in the trading account.  How they flag or enforce it, not sure.
They warn you as you’re about to go over the 3-trade limit — if you still choose to execute the trade, they give you five days to meet the 25k balance requirement. If you don’t do that, they ban you from trading for 90 days.

 
Maybe I'm in the minority of people, I'm going to take a 30 to 40 percent income dip this year.   So I'm going to spend less.  Many people I know are going to spend less.  Maybe that drop in spending doesn't affect the companies in the s and p 500.  Maybe most people aren't having that drop.  But I'm pissed at the double whammy of an income drop and net worth drop
Dentist lives matter.

The companies are going to be affected, have been. But I do think you're among the group being most impacted. 

On the bright side, you're also among the wealthiest in the US. I assume and hope your practice comes back strong in the near future.

Going to be a lot of demand down the line as myself and others canceled their regular cleaning due to virus concerns.

I get it.  My dropped income is still top 10 percent and my net worth is still top 10 percent, still pissed though.  If I'm going to take a hit everyone should take a big ### hit

How about waitresses and restaurant owners, I'm sure they are taking a bigger hit than  others.

 
Zoominfo, ZI is live.  Opened at 40, up to 42, now around 39.

And I am out. Sold at opening. Wow.
Good job. This why I wouldn’t touch it and it’s still ridiculously overvalued. The company isn’t getting a dime from this 60M shares. It’s all insider holdings and warrants. Basically, it’s almost $400M in dumping on a stock that 5 days ago had a market cap of $250M. Insiders are literally selling for more than the company was worth 5 days ago. Sinking ship meet rats.

Also, the current float (after two company dilutions to stay listed) is 96.3M shares. This diluted the shares by 29 million shares. That dilution should automatically send shares down 30%+ and it’s down 16%.

It’s just simple math. The insiders just jumped off the deck into their life raft. Trade this stock very carefully. Some idiots on RH lost a lot of money today. Some smart people got out high but the stock isn’t work $6 a share. That’s a billion dollar market cap on a stock that was in danger of delisting and had $300K in revenue last quarter.

I appreciated your shove, it got me to dump all and not just half. 

 
DOJ approved Schwab's deal for TD Ameritrade.  
My IRA's are in TD and I manage my g/f's in Schwab. I like TD's platform soooooo much better than Schwab's I'm going to be annoyed if they change everyone to the latter's. It's not terrible, but I just really love TD's plus Think or Swim.

Massive hit.  I could make a long list of people that got destroyed by this, but somehow it's not enough to wreck the Dow and s and p.  The gap between small and big business has never felt wider.   If the Dow was hovering around 16 to 20k that would feel more accurate

Glad to help. The top stocks at RH aren’t good companies. GNUS is 100% pumping and dumping. If insiders were confident in the company, they wouldn’t be registering to sell what amounts to 60% of the current float. That would be like Amazon insiders registering to sell $720B in stock today with half of that being brand new shares meaning regular investors taking a loss of $360B due to dilution. It’s laughable that the stock isn’t even down the dilution amount. Pure math, if you add 30% new shares, the stock price should go down 30%. The company is no more valuable before and after the dilution because the company made $0 on this registered sell. Good luck to anyone still in it or any of these RH beloved stocks. They can drop like a rock at any time.

Laughing gas not working anymore huh?

Must suck to get drilled. 

I'll be here all week.

Stock Market does not equal the Economy

 
Damn I suck at this. 

Bought CYDY and CLDR at highs while everyone is making money on Chinese coffee with fraudulent books and Kids TV shows that no one ever watches. 

At least LUV is up and that it's all just gambling money.

Man, seeing some videos from the casinos are crazy. No masks, no social distancing and a lot of folks who probably have at least one of the underlying health conditions. 

Guess we’ll see what this virus is all about. But if that doesn’t lead to a spike, not sure what we’re doing. Otherwise, guess it’ll be important to get that liability waiver in the next stimulus bill.

Hey, don't feel bad. I'm sure I'm the biggest loser with CYDY, currently down 20% and opportunity cost of not using those funds buying pump and dump stocks that snowflakes are making $$$ on.

Fwiw, out of my current "play account", my holdings are -3.3%, +36.6%, -0.28%, +75.4%, and -8.67%. one guess which is the biggest loser.  (But not for the guys who have been in the longest)

 
I miss out on quite few of the quick trades I see others post about too.  My play money account is pretty much 100% invested right now so I have no powder until I sell something or add more funds (usually end of each month).  Just try to keep my focus on being balanced with my plays - short term vs. mid/long, in stocks and ETFs I want to be in and at amounts I feel comfortable with.

Ouch, I felt good about buying LUV when it dropped to $23 in mid-May.  Selling at $26 is now looking like a bad decision.  Crap.

 
HTZ up 120% today on seemingly nothing. Bonds still hanging at $20. Don't have access to CDS but doesn't seem to be any news. Sold some naked call against this one. Will look to hedge out with a bear call spread but premium was too much when I did the trade. 

 
Purchased shares of BETZ, the new sports betting and online casino ETF by Roundhill, at $16.01.  NERD, the esports ETF by Roundhill has been around for a year and has done fairly well, so figured I would give it a go.

Had to look this one up.  Seems to cover a lot of the stocks people post about here.

Some things going up up up for some reason.  Wow.  Dave and busters up 30%??  Airlines no longer a bargain geeze.  
I’m starting to feel even more sure we will have a nice dip to, depending on how much you’re in now, but a bit more. I’m only about 15% cash, so I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this year. My IRA has the most cash and it’s up 20% YTD and my next two accounts are 100% and 90% invested and they are both 30% up YTD. That’s puts me about 30% ahead of the S&P this year which ain't bad.

I’d love to add a few more stocks I should have bought in March, SMH.

Congrats. I'm still down ~5% on the year overall, plus contributions. 

 
Sometimes you can be right and wrong.

sold “it all” and went short.  Not perfectly timed but I’m up on my short so far.

but somehow the internals of the market have caused my personal stocks to be up ~10% so I would have been better off holding.

cant own em all I guess

It’s a bit of luck and some good stocks. AMZN helps, that’s up 30% and pretty much drives the biggest portion. CYDY definitely helped too and I’d love to see it run a bit more. Kind of in a lull news wise (as expected, can’t rush a trial) and being OTC hurts. Note that all my 401ks (just under 20% of my overall) are basically right with the S&P. Also, I actually haven’t done any short term purchases. Probably should have but I’m pretty conservative and definitely have a long term outlook which is why I am so heavy tech wise. I figure my wife and I max out the 401ks so I get enough of the S&P/Dow that I want to buy stocks that I like and believe will be big down the road.

Just throwing out some tickers and how they’ve done since I’ve started this about a year ago. These are all long term, but I bought TWLO, SWAV and TTD last May and they are at 60%, -20% and 90%. I bought MDB (80%), OKTA (75%), ZM (210%), ZS (130%), APPN (30%) and FSLY (175%, added in March) in October/November. I added SEDG (50%) and CYDY (150-180%) in January.

I added a bunch in late February though the bottom week in March with mostly good results. SHOP (130%), ETSY (90%), DDOG (85%), DXCM (70%), HUBS (45%), CRSP (44%), AYX (35%), ROKU (20%), HCAT (10%), FLGT (5%), HQY (5%) and of course LK (-80%).

The funny thing is that the ones I bought recently that haven’t performed as well was because I added them too early in the downturn. I liked the prices but should have waited just a bit more. For instance, I bought HCAT on 2/27 and those shares are barely positive. I DCA’d a little more and those shares are up almost 60%. It was a stark drop off. My only regret was not just pushing all in when I was buying on 3/16. That was true bottom for a lot of what I own and for so many stocks I was watching. I let the fear of another drop cloud the fact that they were really cheap. Anyway, hope it doesn’t seem like a brag just what I’m in now individual stock wise.
