the market: stocks, bonds, options, whatever

Is your total balance negative right now and that's why they want money?

I think you can sell it whenever, or not sell it, but you should definitely pay if it's a fee, or if they just want you to make your balance above zero then deposit $57 or whatever, you don't want to get banned from buying stocks over not paying $57
 
Have recently gotten back into the game a little bit, beyond what I already am stacking in my IRA and automated Stash portfolio.

Automated five bucks a week and putting a little bit into Vym, vglt, ousa, sret, vti, igov, and some Ethereum as well.

Anyone have any other suggestions for stuff I should look into? I used to be way more involved in it, had at least a grand invested that I had earned a bunch on, but had to spend it when I went through my divorce.

Electrum and I like precious metal. Physical bullion.
Silver Gold.
But the premiums are high right now because of what we expect to happen in there.
American precious metal exchange is my go to for it. But they raised the free shipping minimum to $200
 
Lol, now he'll think I was serious about Rosland Capital

But yeah, always good to have some silver or gold, just not the stuff from TV with super high premiums
 
Yeah, watch out for the "with 22mg of plated gold" coins that cost $20.
apmex.com is where i'm at with it.
Junk silver is a great buy probably still. Pre 1965 Us quarters, dimes, half dollars, silver dollars.
Silver bullion like american eagles or mexican libertads.
Secondary silver rounds and bars. I get those by the ounce when I was buying them.
Gold by the gram and 1/10 of a ounce is what I can afford.
I wanted to buy a half ounce of gold with the stimulus, but I got a telecaster instead.

yea somehow it's negative $57 - if i would've known that there was a way that i would owe money after buying a stock, there's no way i would've done it

and they can ban me if they want - im never doing it again anyway - i guess im a little too clueless on this whole thing


so pay the 57 then sell or sell then pay the 57?

If you're selling then I'd deposit the $57 first in case they have some fee for doing a transaction while having a negative balance, you never know.
 
Open Calls: The minimum cash deposit needed at this time to satisfy your issued call is $0.00


why does it say that? ^
 
Hmm, yeah that's weird. If by open calls they mean call options then $0 would make sense if you don't have any options contracts

Just call them and ask them what they want
 
If you buy biotech stocks that don't have revenue then buy ones like MDGL that have a lot of cash and a drug about to put out late stage trial data (phase 3) for a disease (NASH liver disease) that has no FDA approved drugs yet and is a giant future market

Don't buy ones that constantly need to raise cash to fund early to mid stage trials for weird things like mushrooms

Any of you go for dividend stocks? Or just looking for capital gains?

I've been watching IEP because it's nearly a 15% dividend but Carl Icahn is into all that ESG stuff. If we have a big selloff on recession data or something then I may buy it when it's dividend is even higher
