As far as I can tell you get flagged as a pattern day trader with or without margin.... I use SoFi mostly nowadays and it sends me warnings even though I'm using my own money. Webull did it to me before even though I was definitely using my cash...

You’re wrong.

You will always matter. At least to me.

This market has sort of an oaky afterbirth

I love that these were written in 1922, I think that is a good comparison to where we are today and where we are headed

Just trade cash only w/out margin. Problem solved.

wouldn’t 95$ calls be worthless if the buyout price is 95$?

At this point they are just Dapper Cramer.

I have a house already, was looking to move possibly. My rate is 2.8 though so just going to hold off.

Yeah. My job forces me to hold for 30 days before i can sell. I hate them for it but deep down i know it has saved me a lot of money on shitty trades.

I don't think the Fed is aiming for that. Estimates are 5.4% by July it seems and then hopefully there will be good enough data to pause.

Here's my question: why do they make out PDT to be a bad thing? What are they trying to prevent?

I’m not sure about people being any hornier now than they were a year or two ago. People also bought a lot of clothing during the pandemic to make themselves feel better, so the return to normal might not mean anything.

One argument you could make is all the Onlyfans girls need to base their “content” off of something and many have wishlists for things like lingerie, so effectively this is the first time in history that horny single men are buying a substantial amount of lingerie.

In addition to all of the above, it appears reasonable for the Fed to raise the “target CPI” up to 3-4% and call it a day

I don't see how policies like this are allowed to even exist. Truly scummy. We can gamble our life savings on lotto tickets but we should have our money locked away and stolen for our own protection if we research a stock and make educated guesses as to when or why it may go up or down multiple times in a week. Like, ok, sure, it's bad to risk money but wouldn't it be safer to risk $100 instead of $25000? Why are we only allowed to take risks with extremely large sums of money that 70%+ of America will never see? It's vile and the people that make these laws should be promptly replaced with WallStreetBets degenerates and I'm not even joking.

"Yes, yes, indeed we have a market. It is the market that will do market things, as you outlined perfectly. But still, despite the market conditions things will happen."

The fuck you talking about

The Feds just as easily might do away with it too. If holding the interest rates at even 5% does enough damage to bring inflation down over the next 2 years, they will consider it a "success". And the moment they even decrease rates once by 25 bps, markets will lose their minds and rally to new highs. We are entering a new era now, where "Japanification" of American and in turn global economics is underway - hopefully, a very slow process unfolding over several decades before we sell next few generations for our immediate needs. The classic debt cycles will be abused worse than rule 34 hentais about Sammy the assistant.

Tipranks is total BS. A few years ago I saw saw one guy who had about a 90% success rate. But Tipranks gave him an extremely low rating even though he had already sold the stocks (and had a sell rating) before they went down.

OP’s portfolio surges 8.1% [after being down 78%].

I tried to trade 1 options contract once just to see if it operated the way I thought it would. I basically spent $200 to confirm that I am just as stupid as I thought I was, maybe stupider.

Oh Jesus, I thought you were joking.

Gentlemen: do not Google this.

That’s exactly my point to the OP.
