Does your mm account pay interest on some regular basis like weekly or monthly, and if you sell from the money market account to buy a stock or something else, do you not get the interest for that period?

Regarding money market accounts that pay around 4%, can someone explain to me like I’m 5? Is this accessible inside of a Roth or just a cash/brokerage account? In Fidelity, for example, does money need transferred into a specific “money market” fund or if cash is just sitting in the account...

Definitely have been picking up ADX. I like some of the individual names as I like to write covered calls on them when the chart looks extended

Weeeeeeeeeee “investing” is fun. Anyway, what’s some favorite blue chips that pay nice dividends (4% +) that are getting into steal territory? My appetite for super risky stocks has been pretty much ruined, but surely these blue chips are safer and starting to have some nice upside, right? To...

FLGT - Add it to the list of things I thought I was buying on a discount…50% ago. I am not sure what to do with this one. On one hand they’ve got about a much cash and equivalents as their market cap. And their core business has been steadily gaining. On the other hand they keep losing board...

I think the market likes that they have a plan to cut expenses.

I’m an owner and think it’s pretty undervalued here, but I do have to say their operating expenses are astounding, and they plan to grow headcount while most others are cutting costs. Couple that with the stories you hear of boatloads 20 something’s making $250,000 + there to not accomplish a...

Facebook down almost 75% from its highs.. :x

Oh I’ve got plenty of that too.

This averaging down thing ain’t been working so well. I feel like I’m just digging a hole deeper and deeper. And that’s for what I thought were good companies. Don’t even get me started on growth.

If it makes you feel any better I’m in the same boat. Absolutely murdered over the last year+.

Really not enjoying the fact that after losing boatloads in speculative stocks, I bought what I considered safer investments over the last 3-6 months which have also done pretty poorly…. MO, T, INTC, META, UL, LYB.

I’m already fairly heavy but considering adding some more. It has been relatively weak in the market, though…

Here’s the market dilemma. Wish I would have bought more a month ago, thinking we were going lower. Now I hate to buy here cause I could still see retesting those lows….or lower, or not!
