I would say Fidelity. Commission free to buy them, unlike Etrade or Schwab
Awesome! I think the clouds add another dimension to the photo. It almost looks like a nighttime image of the moon, but you can see blue sky breaking through the clouds.
ha! that's a crazy story. Politicians are the same all over the world.

yes, I'm using a spreadsheet to calculate total cost basis. Using Libreoffice Calc (which I love, free software). has all the stuff Microsoft excel has, at least for my purposes.
I can't see that I can break down each purchase lot separately on tastyworks, but I haven't played with it enough, since I don't use it much. I have gotten the data I need, so I'm satisfied. I just thought it was crazy I couldn't easily find the value of shares in that broker
Yeah, I don't know. Net Liquid value is close enough to market value for my purposes, but why does it have to be intentionally confusing? Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I shouldn't have to take an advanced trading course just to see at quick glance, exactly what my position is worth.
Wow Wayne, Great story! what an awesome guy. I can't imagine seeing what he has seen. So admirable that he adopts handicapped orphaned children from the Red Cross. Makes me feel that much more of a 💩. I'll have to try and remember stories like this when I'm all upset that I lost xxx dollars in the stock market, or get a flat tire etc. Puts things into perspective.
Hope the entire trip was relaxing, enjoyable for you! 👍️
ok, so I'm trying to figure out my cost basis for a few stocks that I've owned for over a year. I have shares in multiple brokers and multiple accounts.
I have a tasty works account. On the web site's positions page, I'm simply trying to add to the column, the value of the shares (current price multiplied by number of shares). And I can't for the life of me, figure out what category it is.
There is a list categories I can add to the columns, the following is a list of all the glossary terms that I can add. But there isn't an obvious one like VALUE lol.
Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but any idea what it is?
EDIT: I guess, it's net liq It's not exactly what I want, because the numbers do not calulate exactly right based on currently share price, but it's close. You'd think they would just call it MARKET VALUE, or something obvious 🙄

I will miss my little "all in one" pop up window. It gives me all the information I could want. Including if it's Nasdaq, NYSE, OTC. If it's trading halted. Extended hours gain/loss. L2 data, time/sales.
With all the bells and whistles on TOS, I can't seem to find a quick, easy way to get all that info. I'll just have to make do with less convenience.
Yep, I can use both. There is actually a web-based TOS which is a little better for my needs. But it's still nuts that I can't get basic things the StreetsmartEdge streaming watchlist has (like an easy indication the stock is halted, or extended hours performance).
There may be ways of navigating through the labyrinth of settings, and customize a bit better, but I shouldn't have to take a 4 month online tutorial to figure it out lol.
I still have Streetsmart Edge. I will use it until I can't. I suppose I could add another $100 or so to my Etrade account so that the Power Etrade platform has real-time streaming quotes, but I'm not too crazy with the Power Etrade format. I'm sure the Etrade Pro is much better, but I don't plan to add enough funds or trade frequently enough to fulfill the requirements to get it.
I have the Fidelity Active Trader Pro platform, but that is not good at all.
So far, I guess TOS will be what I use. It's not nearly as user friendly as StreetsmartEdge (at least for my needs). I very rarely buy OTC stocks anymore. The OTC stocks I have in Etrade, have been sitting in there for years. I've forgotten about them (which is why I'll get surprised with a $38 reorganization fee). At least I consolidated them into one account. I used to get surprised with multiple $38 fees 😬
Hope you have a great trading day today. and all year!!
Never lol. I was charged $38 recently because one of the old .$0.02/share stocks I own, went through a reverse split, and I didn't realize it. So the $38 reorganization fee hit me. I called in, hoping that they would reverse it, of course they did not. And so, they wanna charge me $5 per stock (and I have about 15 of them) to get rid of all the old very low priced stocks, so that another unexpected reverse split fee is not incurred.
I will either sell them outright, which will cost me $2.95 Commission, or just be a lot more aware of when reverse splits hit the OTC daily list.
But I really want nothing to do with Etrade anymore. I used to have day trader status with them (over $25k) so I never had to worry about $38 reorganization fees they would just be reimbursed, but now they won't even entertain the idea of waiving it. Only have $900 or so with them now.
However, it's a rather easy process to import my watch lists from street smart edge, over to think or swim. So I guess I'll be using thinkorswim.
I'm already noticing so many little things, that I can do in street smart edge that I cannot ( so far anyway ), do and think or swim. For example, right click a stock and an easily get a chart. Once I have a chart, I cannot easily zoom in or out using the mouse wheel, have to use the little plus, minus magnifying glass icon
I will make do, but wish I didn't have to 🫠
delayed quotes. Reason number 5067 why I hate Etrade lol
I suppose I could consolidate the Etrade accounts, but I won't. I also hate Etrade lol. I would rather not use their platform anyway. 😆
I will try to play with TOS more. I really only need a streaming watchlist. I wont be trading from it. I LOVE Streetsmart Edge, so naturally, they have to dump it.
I just discovered I don't have real-time quotes with Etrade lol. So Etrade is out. Have to maintain at least $1000 in each account. I have several Etrade accounts and I don't trade with Etrade anymore. I have a total of about $900 in all accounts. oh well. It will either have to be Fidelity Pro, or ThinkorSwim, if I can navigate through the 8 billion bells and whistles I don't use or need.
hmm. I don't think I have access to Etrade Pro. I see "Power Etrade", but I don't see a stand-alone program (I remember having one).
Maybe I don't meet the requirements, since I almost never trade with Etrade anymore
I'm looking into that right now 😉
😆 Endless possibilities.

Congrats on the cyst healing. Hope your foot is doing better. I myself, just got out of the hospital yesterday. Total shoulder reverse replacement. I'm bionic now. Unfortunately I didn't have Doctor Rudy Wells operating on me, so I won't be able to lift a car engine with one arm ( or fight a giant robot Bigfoot) lol
It's my left shoulder, and I'm left-handed. Which makes for fun times wiping my ass lol.
I was hoping, they were going to do an "anatomic" total shoulder replacement, ( where they just cut off the ball (humeral head) and replace it, but my socket joint was so worn down so severely, probably from heavy weightlifting over the years since the 80s, that they had to do a reverse. That means I won't have range of motion reaching way behind me, up my back, but that's OK
here's my new shoulder😃

WOWI exploding on reverse merger news
Metro One Announces the Signing of a Term Sheet for a Reverse Merger with Leading Virtual Reality Tech Company Inception XR Inc.

yep. not buying. Just interested in watching for an epic crash.🧨
MULN up 19,000% lol. Well, actually they did a 1-100 reverse split, but it has also exploded upward. It was trading in the $7 range this morning. Now $15s. It will probably come out with an offering tomorrow and tank 80% lol
Hi there 🙂 So I logged into my TradeStation.com brokerage account, for the first time in a maybe 2 months. I very rarely use this account. I was surprised to find find out that my account was closed. Even though I had a few low value/"useless" positions, and some money (not much, maybe about $10-20). Of course, I received no email or phone call before this happened.
I knew that they had an inactivity fee, but what I didn't realize, is that they changed their policy, so that now there is an inactivity fee monthly. So currently, you need to make an average 10 trades every 3 months, or you're charged $10 per month inactivity fee. As a result of this, I had a negative cash balance.
I guess it's really my fault for not paying attention to old, barely used brokerage accounts, but going through my emails I can't find any alert from Tradestation about the change in inactivity fee policy. If I had seen that, I would have immediately closed out the account.
At least they reimbursed the $10 inactivity fees, so turns out I can get a few dollars out first before "officially" closing the stupid account lol. Good riddance to Tradestation.
Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Pat, and prosperous New Year 👍️ 😃
