Won't surprise me, I think we will see the broad strength morph back into the concentrated strength and I think it's at that point it rolls over. What I'm considering is my ability to time that to eek out that additional gain. It's an issue of $12-20k more gain being possible, which look I'd love to get that just another peg towards goal. There is a danger in trying to get the last 2-3% that part of the rally is lost in one afternoon so it's a tricky one to time.

I don't envy you doing this for a living. As much as I love the market, I don't know that I could just grind on it everyday to feed myself. Its a level of stress I don't want to feel. At least in the business I own, I feel some measure of control. Working for Mr. Market? Fuck that. You are a better man than I.

It's not so bad because I have enough wealth for my lifestyle to not feel any pressure from need. If you had to trade a certain return to pay a bill that would be highly stressful. Only thing I can do is fuck this up is destroy capital, under performance is meaningless to my daily life.

We talk about living off 3-4% of a portfolio but have to remember that I could just hide it under a mattress and it would take me 50 years to run out of money . This is important concept and the more its understood the more capital preservation becomes a priority versus people in the building phase.

Ya this is really silly lol - maybe altman broke the singularity and knows he’s going to be able to create infinite resources soon or something. Maybe stargate is really to wall in an unstoppable ai that’s already loose or invest in it’s futuristic ideas and theories. It’s such an odd announcement.

So PLTR is almost back up to the $80, I bought $10k worth (150 shares) at $66 thinking I should take my tendies at $80 as that’s a good return for a small fish like me who only has $20k total invested not counting retirement.

Am I being retarded?

I sold my day 1 shares in the mid 50s so my advice is worthless.

yeah 60% decliners on the NYSE but S&P and Nasdaq running hard. I see it in TOPT being up 1.4% even with AAPL in the red.

Sanrith Descartes Sanrith Descartes took notice of me/you/me/you nature of last few posts and thought, "Man I wonder if I'm the top poster in this thread since Sanrith is more recent to it. "

I can see it. My toilet is leaking and I want a replacement part now but don't want to go to the store. Amazon getting it here tomorrow isn't fast enough.

except Home Depot doesn't have a good in-store inventory of random parts, they tell you to order it online at which point you go to Amazon...

Anyone here use IBKR? Specifically their TWS platform?

I am considering a switch from fidelity(separate conversation), so I downloaded TWS just to get a feel for it. Holy crap it's different. I'd be afraid to make a trade over 100$ until I understand the app better! But like anything I'll use it for a month or two and probably be fine.

However one thing I cannot figure out in the demo version of the application is half the tools open in a completely new window. Literally new Windows window(alt-tab style window) and the rest open up as "tabs" or "frames" in the main window. I WANT the tab/frame style because then I can organize my entire screen and link things so when I change a ticker, all the tools switch to that new ticker. I cannot for the damn life of me figure out why some open in a new window and some in a tab. This happens in "Mosaic" and "Classic" modes. Example screenshot below.

Only other complaint is that when I link two windows, but click on any option, it switches my chart to a chart of the damn option instead of staying as the underlying. Only way I found to stop this was to delink the windows, but then I need to type the symbol in twice.

Anyway, my problem(no, this is not an actual layout I would use, it's just their starter set):

EDIT:

Never mind. Apparently it's something about the starter tab. If I make a completely new tab then when I select the exact same window it puts it in the main frame/tab instead of popping it out to a new window. Damn this thing is confusing.
