Really wanted to hop on some TAIL, but Merrill Edge won't allow this stock to be traded. WTF?

I'll bet they don't allow leveraged items, either. Do they do TVIX, TMF, UPRO?Really wanted to hop on some TAIL, but Merrill Edge won't allow this stock to be traded. WTF?
Today is an odd trading day. Most things are behaving normally. EPD went down 10+% and is now recovering - I suspect a huge indiscriminate seller. VTR is way down - I guess on senior care concerns with Covid. Not sure, but it's likely getting to a good buy point - that's a super blue chip company.
Whatever one imports into Turbo tax easily. When i first opened one up back in the early 90s Ameritrade did not. I would guess they all do now.

The rep I spoke to couldn't give me a clear answer, just said it was on a blocked list. He suggested in might be because it's an actively managed fund, i.e. with the puts.
I've been looking at VTR since it was around $60. Very tempting to dip my toes in here.

I have both TD Ameritrade and Schwab - I hate Schwab's interface and love TD's. I hear nothing but good things from Fidelity customers and will likely move my TD accounts there if the merger keeps Schwab's interface over TD's.

I have them both.
I prefer Fidelity because it is an easier experience for me, but TD is fine
What an afternoon rally. Makes no sense to me, but this has been fascinating to follow.
I love Fidelity but I don’t do nearly as much day trading and charts as some of these guys do. I’m just glad I have almost all my accounts in one place including both my wife’s and my current 401ks. It’s really convenient. My wife has one T Rowe Price 401k that I need to rollover but haven’t gotten to it yet. I have yet to have any issues trading and they’ve got the $0 commissions as well. No problem buying CYDY either even though it’s the one CV related stock with no pop yet but I’m sort of patient. C’mon Chet!

Haven't experienced the others but have Fidelity and have and zero issues with the interface. I like it and would recommend it.
That’s why I’m just going to try and load up on stocks I like 5 years from now and reset/add things as I put more money away. It’s ludicrous to try and follow it every day. Unless you’ve got no job or you work in the market, it’s too hard to short time it. On two calls this afternoon and I went from down a little to up 5% and that was on top of starting the day up 4%. You know tomorrow will likely be a bad day as well.

Yup. I’ve bought so much Disney in the last few weeks that amazon is going to get jealous.
I'm out...again. 2900-2920 is resistance. Could break thru that and run though. TLT took a pretty nice beatin yesterday afternoon and today. Keeping eye on it for an entry point. Already 10% off its high.
Index put/call ratio 230% on Monday. Highest in at least 5 years (will have to check back more). So more than 2016 and more than 2018. Prior high reading was 12/21/18 when it was 113%.
Current: Put/Call Ratio is 115%.

A high put/call ratio can create a short squeeze, propelling the market higher. More gamblers in the wall street casino are betting the market goes down than the market goes up.I like this webpage: https://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/

I'm with you - pulled my last 20% out end of day. The 2900-2920 range was close enough, and the way things move in a day, we could hit it and shoot down 5-7% before you know it.

With all of this "work from home" stuff going on, I'm thinking MSFT may be a good play. Companies may decide that this work from home experiment may be a better than having everyone in central locations. And if so, there may be some doubling up on computer hardware, and more cloud Office use. I'm having a tough time seeing how coronavirus will hurt short or long term revenues.

I work at a unnamed northeast bank with significant operations centers in India. Even though our stock had its #### handed to it this past week an EVP was given the go ahead by the management council to move forward with a ~$10M purchase of 3,000+ lap tops for the teams in India. the story going around is India is completely sold out of laptops. They called every major computer maker and were told it would take months to fill the order even with a large purchase guarantee.
not sure how you play this information

Looking to get back in at some point ... as I imagine many are.
Watching for a good entry point and Market is up 5% yesterday? ... and we're still at the starting line of this Kung Fu Flu marathon.
Targeting AMZN $1750. Unrealistic? What's it gonna take for this to happen? Do we need to wait for earnings reports to fall on their face?
Bottom line, folks have too much money and I don't think this global economy shut-down is even enough to squash people from investing,

Earnings report won’t help. They just had a great one in early February (might have been end of January). That’s why the stock had popped over 2100. Honestly, I think they are a great buy because it would seem that every part of their business would actually do well in this environment.

Congratulations! Understand this was a tactical move/position. At some point you really need to begin to lighten that position up. Find your spot. If a significant portion of your portfolio is in $TAIL take some profits now. You are in an ideal spot. Unburdened by losses. You can really take advantage over the coming days/weeks/months. Really good job.

Watching way too much CNBC. I get zero investing ideas from there, but it is entertaining.

When are we launching our powder?
I have the powder at the ready.
Got to be a couple more weeks right? Sadly Seattle seems to be "ahead" of the rest of the country in terms of infected and we are in shutdown mode. City putting plans in place to help all the small businesses, places closing down.
