    Jysin, every day is different for me, real v paper. If you know anything about ToS, at the top of the page, green means real trading and brown means simulated. See below. I made roughly $1,400 today. Roughly 1,300 of it was real and 100 was simulated. 93% of my trades today were real...

    You are looking at old information. For instance, there is no longer a 100k minimum for HTB. And last month, before I took vacation, I could get shares. I took two weeks off, come back, and can no longer get shares. Something changed. Now that I signed up for HTB (45 minutes ago), I can now...

    I'm in the program now. And no, TD just said they don't allow HTB for paper trading at all. I've been able to get TSLA to short until it got to $1,200. When it gets higher, there are no shares at all. edit: now I can short in paper trading also, so they said wrong. When I got approved for...

    I'm not on HTB, thanks. I didn't know it existed. And yeah, wondering how the fees are.

    TD Ameritrade still can't find me one share to short. Everybody and their brother has been shorting it ever since the slave labor news.

    I did go long. Now, the last few days, if you shorted TSLA you'd have made about $100 a share.

    My December day trades. About $6,700 in 13 trading days, in maybe 6-7 trading hours total. February 1 will mark the one year anniversary of committing myself to this, its been interesting. Was short TSLA most of the month. It's easier to be shorting when the stock is a downward trend anyway...

    Yeah, you just need to be indexing or putting your money in your 401k at this point. It doesn't matter what you give a shit about, the market will see differently. If the pill is as effective and readily available, it will effect the DCF of every stock in the market.

    I can't do small name bio stocks. Its not fun, the volatility is super high, and they are easily manipulated. Before the vaccine, I was trading in and out of the vaccine names. That was interesting. I remember holding BIIB waiting for approval. They froze the stock, I listened to the...

    And to be fair, no one knows how many doses are available. I've heard a number between 200,000 and 10M. It takes six months' lead time to make the pill. What is the current admin doing to boost supply...

    Covid news is so negative, I don't think the pill is priced in on recovery stocks or oil and gas, just looking at the price action the last couple of months. https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizers-novel-covid-19-oral-antiviral-treatment-candidate

    Data on the Pfizer pill is why you should be long on recovery stocks. Pfizer doesn't think covid will be able to grow without the protease that the pill stops from growing. If you are short recovery stocks, you are going to get crushed in the next 30 days. Biden has already ordered 10M pills...

    Look at all the buyers on travel stocks. When everyone is so pessimistic on something, sometimes you have to take the other side of the trade. At some point, there are no sellers left, only buyers. I do expect this to be a rough trade until unicron burns out.

    I'm not wanting to let him go, he's a good guy, but he's off. He's not stupid. He managed to do something I never finished (getting my CDL, I stopped at my permit). But he has zero interpersonal skills. If I tell him to go do something, he takes it so literal, there is no room for...

    Airlines have been selling off since Thanksgiving, a selloff should take a few days, not a few weeks. Look at the price action the last two days. The market has sold off, and airlines are up. Something like ten firms recommended airline stocks. Do what you want, but its going to be a...

    Did he? I'll have to look that up. I have to remind myself to make the trade. Because in the beginning, I spent so long double, triple and quadruple checking my setup, that the trade was already gone.

    So many investing firms are recommending travel stocks on CNBC PRO this AM for 2022. Saw at least five (its closer to 10) firms saying buy now or soon. Max fear for covid is approaching, they say. Unicron should burn out by the end of January, says Dr Gottlieb.

    I meant for where the story is going, and Multiverse of Madness. I can't believe they tied a cartoon to the movie like that, you could tell in the audience there were people whose mind was blown, and others that were clueless.

    Why wait as it gets lower? The lower it gets, the more upward pressure. I've been shorting it all month, but eventually the shorters end up being jet fuel for the takeoff, as they cover. We have to cover at some time. The time to be shorting was at 1150, its getting to the point right now...

    Nice back joke for Tobey. So to understand the entire movie, you had to have watched Loki, WandaVision and What If. I can't believe they incorporated What If into Multiverse of Madness. Who were "they" that were trying to break through? Kangs?
