I'm sitting on some 10oz bars, how do I cash in?
That's the downside of selling physical metals. A shop will almost positively lowball you while in the midst of jacking up their retail. Once it settles in to a price you can probably sell to a local shop for 5% under spot. But during big fluctuations you usually get hosed. You might try and do it on CL or whatever, but the only way I'd do that transaction with a stranger is in a bank lobby. But they are all closed, I think. I'll pay you spot if you ship them to me.

Sorry, I'll always be against financial transaction taxes like this. It would have large negative impacts on the ~80 million of Americans saving for retirement using employer plans or pensions. We can agree to disagree on this one.
So how do we move the power to the 80 million and away from the big 10k that are generating the most gains?

 
Can get some decent deals on silver at or near spot on eBay if it’s being held back everywhere else. There were just a bunch of pre 64 silver quarter 40 rolls on there for $206 each with free shipping. Spot is around $204.

 
Bern's dinner for two set me back $400 last time I was there (with private dessert booth and good wine).

TD Ameritrade could not find that symbol.
Berns always kills me for 4 bills wine for the wife old fashion's for me and then the dessert room.  

Are you guys in Tampa proper or the burbs.  New Tampa or WC whatever you want to call it here

Biggest thing that matters to those investors are the fees charged since most funds will track a broad index. Fees have been pretty relentless driven lower over the last decade or so for a variety of reasons. If you tax the transactions institutions use to administer those funds, it's pretty obvious that would reverse.

I don't think random hedge funds shorting small cap stocks (or message board people pumping them) really impacts them.

 
AGQ might be a good play here. It is a 3x  silver bear. I made a bunch on it earlier this year, but lost it all and then some. I guess my hands were too diamondy on that one.

Over the last year, SLV is within a buck or two of yearly highs, while AGQ is off 20. But man is it volatile and risky.

@General Malaise do you have thoughts on this?
Actually, changed my mind

Anyone in here looked into Sangamo Therapeutics, SGMO? They are partnered with quite a few big boys in the industry, and have been very well written up. Seems they have a lot of runway in the stock price. Only one phase 3 with Pfizer so far, but lots of potential.

 
3rd highest is SLV. AGQ is an Ultra bear play. Be careful, it can drop 20% before you get back from the bathroom.
I'm confused by your usage of the word "bear" here.  If silver prices advance, AGQ should rip.  It's a levered play to higher prices in the commodity.  A bearish ETF would do the opposite.

Review our options for BTC trading again, please. I'm just buying stock in GBTC, since its easiest and I don't lose everything when (not if) I lose my passcodes. I was considering CoinBase and that one Chamat? told all the RH users to go to.
Exchanges like coinbase and kraken give you the most control because you have an actual wallet address and physical control of the coins.

If that's not a big deal to you or you are worried about losing the keys to the account.  Cash app, paypal, and Robinhood all offer direct access, they just hold it for you.

Im wavering on GBTC.  Currently it is the best direct asset backed stock for IRA exposure, but obtc is about to undercut it's annual fees by 75%.  I've also read recent articles speculating that the launch of an etf would eventually turn the current premium into a discount which seems hard to fanthom.

I like both $MARA and $MSTR as alternatives to gbtc, especially in the short term.

Mara is a btc mining company currently holding at least 120 million in btc reserves as well as the planned production of 55-60 coins daily by this summer.  Microstrategy because they are the largest private btc on the planet that can actually utilize their btc in the future.  It's potential in defi markets is unfanthomable.

Personally, I'm only holding a handful of actual coins these days.  95% of my investment is in gbtc/mara/mstr/DMGGF/HVBTF

 
Sold off my $NNOX this morning (I think @Nick Vermeil might be in this with me) - FDA is asking for more info again. Still more than a double again. I’ll still keep an eye on them but this is the second time the FDA has asked for more.

 
Are there SEC regulations that prevent any of these hedgefunds from negotiating a workout regarding the shares that they owe  on their short positions?  Can they not just say to whatever firm they “borrowed” the shares from, that they will pay them $X, which is something less than the extortion market manipulation price all the Redditors are holding out for?  Then the price would plummet — is that illegal?
