It's opening at 3 times it's ipo price.  Isn't it much more likely to fall today than rise regardless of how good the company is?

And this is where I assure you I am not the expert.

I just know I am a buyer of the company over the next several years.

eta - I can't even figure out what time it opens.

Welp.  I don't want to gamble and I have to run out for a few hours.

Hope it is in a reasonable place when I get back.

Set the limit for the max you're willing to buy. I set a limit for 27.00 on SLQT yesterday and got it at the open price of 26.20,

 
NARI is now showing up on Schwab.  When I type in it's symbol nothing comes up but when I then click on the arrow next to the symbol letters it pops up.  It shows a stock price of $41.49.

Heck it was just 8 years ago in May that FB IPO'd at $38 a share.  I sold the majority of my shares at $43 on the day it was issued.  It trickled down to $19 and has been on a skyrocket ever since.  It just hit an all time high yesterday at $237.  

I remember folks on here making fun of people investing in FB.  Really wish I would have held those shares.

:hey:   Never imagined people would use that garbage and that the fad would wear off.

I still don't get it.

 
What is the best site to get the most current stock prices? I have been on Marketwatch.com but not sure what else is out there. Thanks.

I open up the yahoo page for every stock I am looking at.  The stock price updates in real time in the tab even when I'm not looking at the page.  It doesn't update in real time during extended hours or with an OTC like CYDY.

So over the past 6 months I finally started in the investment game with the purchase of my first few stocks (CYDY for the win!  a 10 bagger for my first purchase!  Thanks @chet) the intent was to try to learn a bit and start putting some money to work for me.  I’ve recently been advised by an acquaintance who is done fairly well over the last few years investing. He told me that I need to get into option trading. I’ve done some reading recently on it watched a few YouTube videos as well but would love to tap in to the collective wisdom here. What advice would some of you experienced investment traders say to a newbie like me wanting to start option trading? Any books or videos you suggest watching as well? TIA!

I asked the same question last week. @FreeBaGeL pointed me to Option Alpha on YT. While the guys an obvious dork, he explains it pretty well if you like to be slowly spoon fed. 

 
Prostitute approached Bossman last night ...

He explained to her "I like my woman the way I like my money .... free"

Still figuring it out. I lack the confidence and conviction to trade just yet. Probably should be doing some paper trading in the meantime.

That makes sense and makes me feel better at the same time. Spent the last two days digging in pretty deep and I’m still pretty overwhelmed by the numbers, terminology and how it’s all fits.  Puts I still don’t fully understand, I understand the mechanism I just don’t understand the concept (for lack of a better description).  For calls I completely understand why it makes sense to have something at a lesser value that increases, I see the value there.  For puts I don’t understand how it makes sense to have something at a higher value than it’s worth, who would buy it then? Why is it good to have a put at 200 a share for example and have that value be dropping to say 140. Why is that a good thing and who the hell wants to buy it at 200?

BMLN coming back to me.

No. 2 yesterday, 2 today. I want to keep it so badly though. Its traded 30 million today and the float is 80 million.

Hence why I think it will take off to newer highs since the low of 3/23. A ton of runway to sprint.

What is the problem you are having.

Got an email from Schwab with a link that took me to a page that said this:

We're writing to let you know about a Dutch tender offer that you may participate in.

Offer Details: 

·The Bulldog-Ancora Group (the Group) is offering to purchase for cash up to an aggregate purchase amount of $70 million of the outstanding common shares of Adams Natural Resources Fund, Inc. (the Fund) through a Dutch Auction process.

·In the offer, shareholders can offer (or bid) a specific percentage of not less than 83% of the net asset value (NAV) and no more than 88% NAV, based on the NAV per share at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date of the offer. 

·Holders wishing to maximize the chance that the Group will purchase their shares, can elect to tender at the price determined pursuant to the tender offer (no bid).  However, that election could mean those holders will be deemed to receive the minimum percentage of 83% NAV per share.

·The Group will then determine, from the various bids submitted, the purchase price based on the lowest single percentage specified (not less than 83% NAV) that will allow them to purchase shares having an aggregate purchase amount not to exceed $70 million.  

What this means for your account and shares:

Holders may elect to:

·Tender with Bid:  Tender all or a portion of your shares at a percentage specified by you (in increments of one percentage point), subject to proration.

·Tender with No Bid:  Tender all or a portion of your shares at the percentage determined by the Group, subject to proration. 

·Decline/Take No Action:  If you do not wish to participate, no further action is required and your shares will remain in your account.

¨Please note: If you submit instructions to decline the Offer, you will not receive further reminder notifications for this specific offer.  If no response is received, you will receive reminder notifications up until the Schwab cut-off date.

I'm guessing go with the "decline" option?

Understanding Options - Michael Sincere is a book I recommend to understand how options work and how to trade them.  It's a quick read and easy to understand. 

For a comprehensive book on all things options, there is Options as a Strategic Investment by Lawrence McMillan.  This book is huge and not so easy to understand.  Some call it the Bible of options.
