Outside of robin hood what is a good platform to setup to just buy stocks?

I love TD Ameritrade's Thinkorswim platform, and that is what I use. The only thing I don't like about it, is it doesn't off full pre-market trading. Pre-market trading starts at 7am est as opposed to like 4am on Webull.

I use Fidelity for my personal account and Schwab for my self directed 401k, and I help a friend who uses Merrill. I like Fidelity best by far.
Merrill is aids. I manage my mom's accounts and she refuses to let me move her off Merrill.

This shit is crazy.

I hate to have FOMO, but I was explaining all this to my wife and how I read about Tesla here back in August. But I just don't buy individual stocks, and certainly not in amount high enough to make a difference (I'd likely need to put in a good $20k+ to be worthwhile for my net worth).

The Gamestop thing I didn't pay much attention to last week, because I was like "what the fuck?"

But then I saw you all talking about AMC the other day, too.

So fuck, what's the next meme stock? Is there some other company WSB is targeting next?

The top shorted stock list is going around and being discussed.

Seems like this is one of those once in a lifetime things, but it'll probably only last a week.

Yeah. Initial price is a big deal here because most of the wsb meme traders are broke dicks.

Wsb is like... Highly evolved penny stock trading. Combined with internet flashmobbing.

Timing is everything. Pulled some money out of fidelity account and it takes a couple of days to get it wired back in lol.

Seems like at some point the shorts would either say fuck it or run out of credit. Hell put a small amount on the gigantic bump to hedge your bets when it became clear doubling down was not the wisest thing.

Depending on the account as soon as you initiate the wire in the cash should be available for trading even if it takes 3 days for the cash to arrive. At least for me, my transfers in are available nearly immediately.

In the past sometimes it is right away, some times it takes a full two days. No rhyme or reason. Doesn't matter the amount. I'm sitting this one out, hell I could have spent the $100 I got for my birthday and it wold turned into something lol and was totally disposable.

SPCE is more heavily shorted than AMC (of course I sold my SPCE like a week ago but anyways) and its all about moon missions and star trek.

I'm kind of wanting to reenter it because if there is going to be this wave of attacking the shorts, then this is a target. Its already run up 10 dollars above what I sold for last week, but how many times did I tell myself GME was "too expensive" at 50, 60,70 and now its 230 lol

Dont go being an individual. Follow the herd. The herd has power.
