I've got 4k fun money, anyone got some recommendations on some set and forget non meme options? I was thinking of putting some in apple, some in ford, and some in Nintendo. But am totally open to other things cause I'm not very good at analyzing this stuff. Was going to just set it and check back in on it every year or so.

I know this thread is more about trading, but I figured it might be the best place to ask. I used to work for sprint back in 05-08 and they gave me stock. I was young and stupid and didn't really pay much attention to it at the time. And then I moved to another state and forgot to forward my info to the brokerage. NOW sprint stock has been converted to T-Mobile. Is there a way for me to recover my stock/conversion? I don't remember the name of the brokerage.

Thanks! I managed to find a Sprint Employee stock options document online that had the brokerage name! https://www.sprint.com/content/dam/sprint/us/en/hr/benefits/ESPP_Plan_Information_Statement_11-2016.pdf Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Hopefully they can help me recover the account.

SkunkDuster posted:Not sure how much of a hoarder you are, but a similar thing happened to me. I got stock options from when I worked at Western Digital around 2000-2001 through E*Trade. As soon as they matured, I sold them and bought Macromedia stock and spaced it off for many years. When I was cleaning out my basement a couple years ago, I found a folder of paperwork from when I worked at WD and there was my E*Trade info with the login/password and it still worked and I was able to access my account. These days nothing goes in the trash if it's financial based... But back then IDGAF. Each time I moved it was only material possessions that went with me. I didn't really start caring about paperwork and finances until about 2012. And something today tickled my brain about my old sprint stock. Thanks for the help. I will pursue all these options as needed! And incase any of you are vested in the outcome, I will post if I get it back! Kilazar fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Good news bad news Good news! I got my account recovered and I now have access to a Fidelity account and hopefully can transfer all my Robinhood stuff to it. Bad news! Past me was so irresponsible that I wish I could travel back in time and punch past me in the face. Turns out I did get access to the account sometime after I left sprint, and I cashed out all my stocks for what amounted to probably 3 cartons of smokes (I was a heavy smoker back then) and 2 xbox 360 slim's. I know this, cause now that I see the withdrawal I actually remember doing it. I didn't NEED the xbox's.. or the smokes. Kilazar fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Mar 2, 2021 |

jokes posted:I am bored, slightly down, and I do not like market anymore Be more responsible! like I have been for the past 6 years lol. Ever since I stopped making dumb choices like the above, my life and income level have increased significantly on a yearly basis. I'm flattened out now on earnings so now I'm looking into some proper investing. And no I'm not yolo'ing NDRA (though I did put 1k into it after reading up on it, and I like what they do!) I'm mostly following this thread to gamble vicariously through you all. And to learn. I'm mostly interested in long term. I been putting my "spare change" into things like Apple and Nintendo cause again, I like those companies. And this time I won't cash them out for smokes and game consoles. Just hope they are still doing good in 20 years and they can supplement my robust 401k.

I set a stop loss on robin hood and it didn't trigger when the stock dipped under the target. Does the stock have to hit the EXACT value you set in the stop loss?

pixaal posted:Did it happen during normal market hours or extended? If it didn't happen during normal market hours that's why. This was middle of day. I must have done something wrong. Tax question.. if I yoink my money with good gains and let it sit in the robinhood savings account for a couple months before reinvesting, am I increasing my potential tax burden? Like if I dump it into another stock 3 months later and make another 10% do I get double taxed? once for the first profit, then again for the second? Or is it ok to have money idle waiting for pop into something?

Ok let me make sure I got this right. If I want to protect my NDRA gains, I can set a stop order at say 2.60. And if falls to or below it will sell as close to 2.60 as it can? RH also gives me a trailing stop order too. Kilazar fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Mar 15, 2021 |

pixaal posted:0.10 is a bit small and while most people can't see your stop loss I've been told people that shell out the 2k/month for Bloomberg terminal can see them just fine and will intentionally trigger them to get your discounted shares for a quick buck. Basically a 10 cent trail will probably trigger in under an hour, but as far as understanding you got it. Ah ok. Thanks for all the info. I will just go back to waiting for it to break 4.

pixaal posted:This can be solved with a mini fridge, now if you wanted say a cocktail I could understand not wanting to pause the movie to mix another one but a pee break followed by shaking some ice around could be a good intermission. This is me except I still love going to the theatre with my kids. It is a good get out of the house experience. And they are still in awe of it even though we have better at home. It hit home really hard how much I miss going to movie rentals with my parents and or friends when I watched the blockbuster documentary. I would really hate to lose theatres for that specific social and familial interaction.

Robinhood limit sell seems to not work with crypto. I have had a limit sell set at 60k since the 21st. And as far as I can tell btc crossed 60k twice since then :/. I bring it up here cause I worry that my stock limit sells will also just he flat ignored.

Oatly Trip report. Thanks to this thread I ordered a carton of the original. This morning I swapped my kids milk for the oatly in the cereal. And for the first time ever, they finished the cereal as well as the milk in the bowl. Thanks thread for the oatly intermission the other day! I'm going to try the full fat version on them next cause my son really needs the fat. He's a stick and does 3 nights a week of jiujitsu, kick boxing, and wrestling. And eats like a bird at 8 years old. Stock talk Still holding 1k of the NDRA lottery, and I'm still down on apple cause I bought in at 135.

I currently don't see a reason for it to go down (doesn't mean it wont) but odds are that should flip to green today for you. Yeah I was mostly including it to semi stay on topic heh. I plan on holding it long term, so not a big deal.

It's been helping to keep me steady while weed stocks bounce me around. Don't you eat taxes each time you do this though? I was originally doing this until I found out each sale is taxable, then it didn't really make sense to keep re buy in with my original base plus profit forever escalating gains cause it felt like I was also super escalating the taxable burden to a break even.

drunken officeparty posted:10% taxes on a $100 gain 10 times is the same as 10% taxes on a $1000 gain one time. Is that not how it works? But how does that change if you are reinvesting that 100 and it makes another 100. And now you invest that 200 and make another 100.. and then you do it again and again? For some reason I had it in my head that you would be retaxing the gains each time? Is it just the 100 taxed each time? Cause if so then I totally misunderstood how that worked. Do I have this wrong in my head? Kilazar fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Dumb question maybe. I want to dump my gains into s&p 500. Can I do this on robinhood? Or rather what should I do with my gains to secure them into more long term and not just re gamble them? Keeping in mind I already have full match 401k, full safety fund of 6 months in savings, no cc debt. I just took 5k to gamble with and have been doing pretty ok  . But I don't want an ever growing gambling account hehe.

Thanks! So with spy and voo, dump whatever gains I get in and try not to look at it at all for a couple years then is what my plan is. That way whatever price I buy at each week/day/time doesn't matter in the long run right?

Just a robinhood account lol. And it lets me buy partial shares. So anytime I come up with a profit going forward after the initial buy, I was just going to send it that way. Note. Not talking about my 401k account, that is managed by my employer account with vanguard and I don't get to do things with it other thannset target dates and aggressiveness.
