re: Schwab is an overrated brokerage

Schwab has been fine for my non-retirement account, and I use RH for my Roth IRA since they give me a bonus each year.

Wow, you should watch more ID channel shows!! I live in a great neighborhood, have had multiple children that are now grown and gone, and have always kept multiple guns loaded with bullets in the chamber in the house, and conceal carry everywhere I go including church. What good does it do to have a gun in the house in a safe when a burglar breaks in?? It only takes one time to lose your life or the life of someone you love. Would rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it. I also trained my kids to never handle any of the guns unless we were out shooting.
Seems ridiculous with the low gas prices right now....

Maybe for silver prices, but ultimately doesn't sound good for production of copper, gold, and silver, and is a surprise decision by the Trump administration.

Just FYI....top 10 holdings are 57% of total, and 97% of those are technology, mostly magnificent 7.
I've got several of those types of notifications from insurance companies I represent, etc. They all offer the sme things such as credit monitorings, etc. I've taken advantage of the 12 or 24-month free services, but have never had any negative things happen from the breaches.

Dividend ETF Stock

If you purchase a dividend ETF stock such as VYM in a regular taxable account but choose to reinvest dividends, are those dividends taxable each year or no?

re: ASTS, meme stock or real stock?

It's getting crushed today down 14%.....only thing I saw from yesterday was some "issue of notes", so it looks like they're trying to raise capital for their next venture.
Beware of scamming.....seems like I received some kind of similar email a couple of weeks back from some mortgage company saying I had $70 or some such amount they needed to give me.

Delta recently took over Centerpoint.....my Centerpoint/Delta bill is $166 this month. Of course it usually is much higher at this time of the year, but it does seem like it's a good percentage higher this year since Delta took over.

XLE is up 17% YTD.


The top 2 holdings in the ETF, Exxon and Chevron make up 40+%.....any other ETF that's more diversified?

Iren is down 1 percent today


It's up 3 1/2 % now.....
Yep....get really tired of seeing my Robinhood app notifications every couple of minutes to let me know which stock is down 5%+ for the day.....it does seem related at least somewhat to the meltdown of Bitcoin.

Article doesn't say that....they make it seem that it will shut down but that it should be a shorter shut down, LOL.

Got all three of mine a secure CC from Open Sky which was one of the very few I could find that would approve them with no credit, even with a secured deposit.
Should be easy to find with all those distinctive tattoos....
