Yes, hopefully it holds throughout the day.(prob won't lol).
Hello StockEra,
I've been involved in stocks for about 2 years now and so far only engaged in buy-and-hold in a few safe bets. Very recently together with the bank, I created a moderate-risk/return portfolio and this to be managed by them.
I think to know the basics and I would love to make some investment decisions myself again. Is there an "interactive learning tool" that would help with making sure I actually know the basics and perhaps learn some stuff beyond that? I only found this:
www.stockmarketgame.org
Has anyone used this or something similar/better?

I have this 'should I continue to lose money when I could be making money' argument with myself all the time. There are a few things that I own that I don't care what they do short term because I'm going long and have a high conviction in them. Is PLUG one of those for you? That's the question you need to answer.
Amazon is on a rise lately, maybe it can reach it's ATH again after half a year of doing nothing lol (not that I care that much I'm long term)
There was a 21-month period from Aug 2018 to April 2020 when it was basically flat until it shot up with COVID.

Do you mean paper trading? I know ThinkorSwim has that, and I expect many others do also. It sounds like you probably know a lot of the basics, however maybe the investopedia site has some of the education you're looking for.Hello StockEra,

Have you been paper trading on a simulator? Is it time for the real deal? It’s not just about money; it’s also about emotion. Here’s what you should know about paper trading vs. live trading.
yeah... for some reason it and microsoft seemingly went up on this news
Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Bought Roblox, Microsoft Stock
Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, bought Roblox stock the day the videogame firm went public. He also acquired Microsoft shares through options.

Lol.
Damn, he bought 10k worth. His great grandkids must play, lol.
according to the news it's because they announced a partnership with Hasbro
wish I had more than 2 shares
Yep, its a good day for TSLA.
With the Q1 deliveries they had I expect the stock to keep rising all the way up to the earnings report on 4/26, and after that it will fall big time like Tesla always does on good news, LOL.
The melt up right now. 👀
SPY Daily Chart:
QQQ Daily Chart:
IGV Daily Chart:
Question is...are we in the process of some sort of blow off top or is it time for the IWM to catch up soon while the other indices chill out a bit?
IWM Daily chart:
One thing to remember about the QQQ, SPY, and IGV daily charts: They are pretty stretched right now above the 20 day moving average. So even if they come drop lower, like 3 to 5 percent, it may not be a market crumble yet. They are just coming back to their 20 day moving averages. Start closing consistently below the 20 day, then perhaps can start thinking lower.

Does anyone with Fidelity have the credit card through them? It's 2% back on what you spend on everything and they deposit it right into your account. I know some cards offer more cash back on select services but 2% across the board seems pretty solid.
before anyone asks we pay all of credit cards in full each month

I don't have it, but yes 2% back in general is solid. It ties the best card I know in that category which is the citi double cashback card. Others do better in select cats, and some have rotating cats that do 5% back ect, but if you are looking for just a simple way to get money back then yeah flat 2% back is solid.
We also have a thread for credit card stuff
Credit Card Rewards Thread OT
I've been mostly a Debit Card guy. I did own a credit card to keep my credit score up. But wanting to maximize my travel, a huge interest and hobby of mine, I started to look into reward credit cards. So apparently there's a huge travel hacking community online. These are people who min/max...

if you wanted to talk to other people about it :)
Itll probably rise again and then deflate after the doubleclick event. Gotta be on the ball.

ooh thanks yeah I may do that. Guess we have communities for everything.
I like the idea of not trying to buy stuff in certain categories/stores to get special rates. I looked at what the other cards offer and they didn't appeal to me as much. I'd probably make more total just going with the flat 2%

I closed out my 4/30 GME puts for a pitiful profit. Six big down days in a row and today ended flat after recovering from the low, and time is against the puts now. I'll be looking out for another opportunity.
I think I'm going all in, but I'll have to monitor my stop loss like a son of a bitch.
Wait it's opening at $250?
e: Oh, I see. Yeah it's not opening at $250.
Yeah it's just the reference price. It will probably open much much higher
lol I dunno. SOS has been diving bombing the last couple of weeks sigh. Good thing I have actual crypto investments.
Perfect timing for the COIN listing. Although I expect this week's rise of btc goes hand in hand with it.

In relation to my previous post, the program is really good after trying it out last evening and if you intend to use their sinkorswim program, it's a great introduction:
In terms of learning, there are perhaps better... Wall Street Survivor has learning materials that are better integrated I find:
Wall Street Survivor
Fantasy stock market game provides virtual online trading of the stock market while you learn to invest. Manage $100,000 with paper trading while competing for Cash Prizes using our stock game. A great way to learn how to invest and how to buy stocks.

Curious to hear where you guys stand on CDPR. Lot of value went up in smoke with the Cyberpunk fiasco, but I can't help but think they have a good chance of doing a lot better with a new Witcher game. Friend of mine bought and sold a lot of CDPR the last 9 months or so but I think he's out currently.
I played around with it when it dropped into the mid 50€ and sold it off in the low 70s.
They canceled the MP cyberpunk game which would have been a great boost for the financials.
The PR hit has been huge, new revenue boosts are likely years away so i don't really see a lot of value in it right now.
If things go really bad i could see them get acquired by a bigger company
Why the big sell offs of MARA and RIOT? People planning to put that money towards Coinbase instead?
Definitely through the roof but in the opposite direction.

BTC just dropped.
I suspect all BTC related stuff, including Coinbase will follow BTC's volatility. So the next two years will be painful per the BTC cycle.
Crypto all pumped with the expected Coinbase IPO but I feel we're in the sell the news phase with the pending actual IPO
