umm
what do you mean you were short squeezed?
were you actually short selling GME?
or you bought puts?
or you bought in at the top and then sold for a loss? (the last 2 scenarios are not part of a short squeeze)

I have been a holder of vix for awhile, and today was the day it acted like a true hedge. I also hold some call options on it and they rocketed today.

Cool. I am with him though, it is going to hit 500. My guess is on exactly April 16, that is a special day in the GME future, watch 🍿

I usually only keep it for a week tops since it erodes. I actually bought it after hours last night and sold today. Wish I would have bought more lol

How are folks putting high sell limit for stocks? Tried to do $800 for GME and it’s not letting me. Says I have to call the brokerage.

Robinhood was allowing me to put in up to $15k for a while, then when all the shenanigans started and they started limiting the stocks they cancelled my limit sells for everything over $1k.

Transferred all my shit to Schwab, called them up and asked them to set limit sells for me and the rep was able to do it over the phone (their website wouldn't let me put anything over $5k).

Fair warning though it took about an hour of being on hold to get through. Their lines are pretty busy these days with everyone transferring out of Robinhood and whatnot.

What's got me nervous right now is it took me 2 tries to initiate a full account transfer from Robinhood to Schwab and it looks like it's finally going through as of last night...

...but at the moment my Robinhood account is empty and nothing has shown up in my Schwab account yet.

Depends on brokerage I think. For robinhood, they max out the limit sell at 5x current price. I put one there for a stock and it rejected it after a couple days when the stock price fell. Granted it was an unlikely hit in the near term but idk why they cant just hold it

Sold everything I bought in after hours yesterday for an account gain of 2% total today. Yesterdays gain was a nice 6.2%. Good safe and stable week for me.

I wanted to reduce my RH footprint and make it my YOLO stocks and my other account my investments. Looked at fidelity, TD Ameritrade, and dough. Didn't love any of them. Settled on Merrill Edge which I already use for IRAs. Still use RH including for some crypto, also use paypal and coinbase. I like coinbase.

i'm so used to the RH user interface so I'm still going to be using it to look up things quickly
But I will eventually move everything out
Tastyworks is awesome, especially if you want to use options


I tried to open an account with Fidelity this week but got an error
called customer service
was informed that my SSN is already associated with an account

I said, "Is there a million dollars in there? Then it's my account"
The rep on the phone said it belongs to a woman...
I said, "Depending on the account value, I can be a woman..."
lol

anyway
I hope they quickly get this sorted out
I don't want any tax liability created by this mistake

Nothing wrong with coinbase, besides their kind of high fees. But they are the most legit crpyto exchange/broker in the US so no worries using them.
