Interesting. Let me know what you find out about them. Those are new to me.

Ok so I was only partially right, you can add money to them at any time but if you pull any out before maturity you lose 3 months of interest. We opened them at 5.25%, right now they’re offering 4.25%, have another month to decide whether to move it or leave it there

Kulr to the floor? I am yet to buy in and have really wanted to maybe 20 times. When it was rising I guessed wrong every time and never found an entry. Now that it's falling like a rock, wondering where close to the support will be.

Theres a few Tbills that are roughly that same return and you wouldnt have to pay state taxes on the gains from them. If you have Fidelity, it is as simple as opening a brokerage account, putting the money into it and buying them.


Locking some money up at 4.25% for a bit might not be a bad play. I THINK most rates are going to hover right around there and if they do move, it will be down.

Here is step by step on how to purchase them. The Fixed Income, Bonds and CDs link can be found in the News & Research tab.


Just another option for you and others. Depending on how much money you are talking, that tax savings can be significant.

Been tracking it since spring at 22 cents so I know what you mean. I set a buy order at $2.20 which is 60% off its high. That's just a number I was comfortable with, no reason behind it tbh. We'll see if it gets there

I'm buying again at $1.80, just my opinion and another data point for you.

Looking for thoughts on XRP. Is this a stock to day trade or long term hold? Opinions?

I too am curious about xrp, I put in a very small amount early last year on a whim and wish I’d have put more in at that time.

It seems to be fluctuating enough daily that if you could easily make good money trading it daily. It also seems like it could be a good hold with the incoming administration.

It's a shitcoin to gamble on. I've got about $1,000 worth just in case. If it goes to zero I won't care. If it 10x's I'll go to NF and kill a moose.

XRP is not a stock it’s a crypto.

For me it’s a big no to both. Here’s why, for me.

XRP hit its all time high on Jan 7, 2018 at $3.36. Its current price is $2.51, it is still 25% away from hitting a new all time high, over 6 years.

In November 2024, xrp unlocked 1 billion tokens to dump onto the market and existing holders. At the time that was a 18% inflation rate. To just stay flat xrp would have required $5 billion in buying pressure to just stay flat. XRP regularly has massive token unlocks.

I prefer to invest in btc or low inflation crypto. Sure you can make some money on short term holds, but you better be watching the market closely.

If the new administration creates a BTC strategic reserve, which I think is very likely, then all cryptos will pump. Rising tide theory.

Still not enough blood in the water for me. I want to see serious hand wringing with the high fliers before my cash goes back in.

More blood today…. I won’t be able to make another purchase until Friday

Order hit on PLTR pullback. Will likely set another order around 10% under the current price.

I gotta move some money around as I want to pick up more PLTR on this dip as well. It's been a great one for me.

I don't own any tech stocks at the moment. I sold my KULR too early, but I still sold it higher than it sits at the moment after this big drop. I ask objectively, as a guy who makes mistakes and is slow to move and all those things, what do you guys see in PLTR when even on this drop its PE ratio is 326? I just looked up the stock ticker, and I have never seen another PE even anywhere near that high, I don't think I've ever even seen one above 200.

Edit: I'll add that when I google PLTR price forecast, all the consensus price forecasts are lower than the price on today's dip.

I don’t have a premium account with them so can’t read the complete article, but seems like the gist of their argument is proceed with caution if you aren’t already sitting on lower priced shares.

Two questions for people who do options trading more regularly.

Dipped my toe into options by buying 2 call options a few weeks ago that expire today.

One is in the money slightly above the breakeven of $21.07 (strike of $20.50) and one is slightly out below the breakeven of $21.77 (strike of $21).

Does it matter if I exercise the one that's in the money this morning vs letting Fidelity deal with it at expiration? I transferred enough cash to the account to buy the shares. I plan to hold the stock longer and set a stop loss on it rather than selling immediately.

Similarly for the option that is out of the money. If the stock is at $21.50 and I still want to buy more, would I not be better off exercising the option to buy at $21 rather than letting it expire and buying at $21.50?

If the stock is at $21.50 and I exercise the option it seems like I am effectively losing a portion of the premium instead of all of it if I let it expire then buy?
Cost at market - $2,150 + $77 lost premium = $2,272
Exercise Option = $2,100 + $77 = $2,177

If anything in my logic is too out of whack feel free to comment also. The majority of my "investing experience" is putting money into an index fund in a 401k each week so I don't claim to be an expert at this.

Call your broker about exercising long options. Usually short in the money options are auto exercised at expiration since the long contract holder holds the right to. Note that I sell options vs buying so I have never had to exercise a long contract before expiration but if I were you I would contact fidelity. There may be a scenario where if you don't manually exercise that the contract expires and lose your gains.

Looking for opinions as obviously only I can make the final decision.

I bought 10 shares of VGT back when it was $190. It's at $625 ish today. I'm considering cashing out of it and putting that all into NVDA as a long term hold.

Part of me thinks it would be crazy to sell an ETF that has done so well for me, but another part of me thinks I've already made good money on it and there is potential elsewhere.

Thoughts?

VGT hold ~15% of its fund in NVDA.

I would say why sell a total tech etf, that holds a good percentage of NVDA, to put all you eggs in the basket of NVDA?

Spread your risk.
