I see what you're saying Tiny, but I assume TWK meant 1%. That's about what I lost today, and I actually felt lucky it wasn't a lot more.

Days like this are exactly why I am a conservative investor for the most part. I would have lost my ass today if I wasn't. And days like this are why I don't like investing in stocks.

You said 0.01 percent. And 0.01% of $50,000,000 is $5,000. If I'm "off by a couple of decimal points," then you should have written one percent, not .01 percent.

Unless your portfolio is worth $5 billion, in which case you should have written .0001%. That would be two decimal places off too. Originally Posted by Tiny

Is Trump's media channel even launched yet? The longer it takes, the more the left will call it a scam (while they conspire with Big Tech to thwart it).

Shorting SPAC shares and going long the warrants has often been a profitable strategy lately, when the prices get out of whack. The problem is that the fees to borrow the stock can take away the profit when everyone catches on to the idea.

Not sure whether the channel has launched yet.

Please master division and percentages before you accuse me of playing fast and loose with my math.

won't be calling my broker yelling "SELL SELL!" might be calling him saying when are we getting around to investing that 27k i have in my money market from my dividends?

TWK, you need to tell your broker to have your money automatically reinvested when whatever you own pays out dividends. I don't know whether he or she has you in mutual funds, REITs or ETFs, but unless you need the cash, have him or her buy more shares if the market is healthy and you want to hold them for the long term.

Just some free advice and I do nothing for free and I'm not even a stockbroker. But I do invest a shit load of money for my family members for them. And I have the same licenses stockbrokers have. Unlike them though, I am a CPA and a CFA and not just a "certified planner".

My free advice is over now. No more free soup for you!
