You can buy SLV but actual hands on silver is getting pretty short now from the big sellers like APMEX and such. Someone said pawn shops are selling it fast as they can.

Still have the wahl trimmer I got in high school and works fine 33 years later. Of course then it was to trim my musouche and now cut what is left of my hair, rustled.

Ebay putting restrictions on buying silver from some sellers. List it as blocked from that seller.

When log into fidelity through the web on the start page is a list of fast/big movers up and down of stocks. And in the comments for them a news story and for many of them just says "restricted by robinhood". lol.

They first phrased the bailout for banks as companies needing the ability to keep their line of credit function open. Turns out that wasn't even needed for a lot of companies as the economy went to shit. But this time it's "ok".

Call that being lucky.

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Yup the clearinghouse (apparently the same one accounts for 75% of the volume for clearinghouses) got really nervous when the volume was getting close to 1 billion. That's a lot of lot of shit to possibly get stuck with.

They normally won't let you short stock without making sure you can cover it.

Ultimate ballsy great move if you manage to make money shorting GME on the way down.

Yeah they had a news article yesterday about how to open an account and deposit funds clearly geareds at those fleeing other brokers. Had how to enter stuff to track that was held with another broker and such.

Fidelity list of top volume and top ups/downs now notes which ones are Robinhood restricted. Top 3 are and various other ones.

The larger firms like Fidelity and Lynch avoided the increased collateral requirement from the clearinghouses since they self clear. The WeBull CEO said it went from 2-5% to 100% for the smaller firms since they had 1billion shares on the hook suddenly. Should have planned ahead when you let...

Interview with CEO of WeBull. Talks about why the clearning house upped the collateral to 100% on certain stocks. If true whole thing sounds like a clusterfuck that I can't believe it took this long to go off the rails. @30 minutes gets into why some brokers could sell and not buy. Clearning...

Probalby not, haven't slept in 3 days. I don't siri, maybe I should.

Back when phone taps were the thing the mob and other organized crimminals would meet person to person in a public place, sometimes cover their face with a newspaper so they couldn't be filmed talking and such and other extreme measures. Not saying people need to do that, but always amazed at...

Investment thread in grown up stuff. Be very hard to tldr or even tldw.

Noted, put insane high sell order and adjust it as needed will keep a broker from lending it out to shorters through a clearinghouse.

I kind of wondered on Wed. when all the videos were out about the shorts borrowing the stocks from investors where that stock was coming from and who was getting stuck in the middle if things went sideways as they obviously did. Getting paid 25% interest is nothing compared to all the sudden...

Yeah a video I watched earlier. If the parking meter out in front of your house was $25, and the ticket for not paying was $0.25 then you're going to break the law.

So the same companies that shorted to begin with did more shorting right as the broker shut down the ability to buy stocks and only sell and those people were only selling or unloading their stocks and made more money on a short. Seems fair.

Start page at Fidelity even has a fidelity article about how investors took it because of crappy trading sites.

Got involved in a land war in Asia? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Don't know the ownership breakdown of Robinood. But what is to keep a hedge fund or investment firm that's own the hook for billions and billions in a situation like Gamestop shorts just buying or "donating" some serious cash to RH to have it shut down the buying. In the end even a large buyout...

Imagine trying to explain reddit and robinhood to Biden.

Someone said they've been on hold to talk to someone at fidelity for an hour.

GME volme is pretty low. Less today so far than yesterday in the first hour.

Like I said earlier, hope people have been taking profits along the way.

Kind of like an election.

GME down to 132 but volume is very low.

Reddit itself is going up and down.

I half assed thought the first next big meltdown in the market was going to be automated trading bots fighting each other in a death loop.

Never used RH wonder if something like this is so far down in the fine print that nobody ever reads.

2021 says to 2020, hold my beer.

AMC volume, game stop didn't look bad at all. Volume 146,032,144 90-Day Average Volume 54,617,125

I don't even have fidelity page open right now. How high is the volume? I know yesterday gamestop hit 10x their 90 day daily average for volume in the first hour. There can't be that much volume they're bogging brokerage sites down can it. Got to be just plain fuckery.

American Airlines up 60% and the note said social media hype.... https://www.fidelity.com/news/article/top-news/202101280430RTRSNEWSCOMBINED_KBN29X12T-OUSBS_1

Seriously Fidelity is free, has a good website. Full featured. And has a phone app and a desktop app for real research and trading, Active Trader Pro. I had one issue and I called at 11 o'clock one night. A real live person that was in the United States answered the phone and had the answer...

Someone posted on another forum a screenshot from the reddit sub very very early on. I thought about dropping a little in, but didn't. Oh well. Pretty sure it was before it was posted here. The person that posted it was still asking questions about how it would work and such.
