Lot of those 'gray panthers' like the puff-puff too,put a dispensary in the 'Villages' and they 'd sell a lot of product....LOL!

true, but in the Latino community, mexicans at least and prob cubans as well, attitudes toward weed are still super regressive (broadly speaking of course)

word

about FLA, what you say makes sense, but there is a bizarre conservative streak in that state despite the party vibe that makes shit unpredictable

@nvanprooyen care to weigh in?
I think the will of the voters is certainly there. We passed medical with more than 70%. But I'm sure the asshat Republicans in Tallahassee will do everything they can to obstruct, delay, etc. It's what they do.

this could be interesting since AMD, NVIDIA, Sony, Microsoft (xbox) are all bottle necked by TSMC silicon right now

AMD specifically would almost certainly be crushing it rn if not for silicon shortage


Intel, AMD CEOs Urge Biden To Boost U.S. Chip Manufacturing

Top semiconductor executives are calling for President Joe Biden to rekindle domestic chip manufacturing with ‘substantial funding’ so that the U.S. can become more competitive with other countries that have poured significant investments into chip foundries like TSMC. ‘The costs of inaction are high,’ they say in a letter.

I have some noob questions

can you buy stock over the weekend? how does that even work? do you just like reserve a trade and then it goes through once the markets open?

also, I am about to take a big position (for me) in IIPR mostly because I am looking for safer, modest gains over maybe 3-4 months and my money is just sitting in a savings account. But there are all kinds of shit I can buy (I am using Fidelity). Market Order, Limit Order, Stop Loss, Stop Limit... etc

and then there are options. and reddit seems to really like options over actual stock, but I don't even know what the **** that means...

Stock, you can only buy during trading hours. Some apps allow extended trading hours. You have to look at your specific broker for when their extended hours are available. Webull starts at 4 am I think. Fidelity is at 6. AFAIK, and I might be wrong, you have to put in a limit buy order and click the extended hours option to purchase during these hours. Otherwise, a market buy is just buying when the market opens. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Honestly, if you're looking for long term stuff, I love M1 Finance. You just regulate how much of a percentage of your cash you want into a stock/ETF, deposit how much cash you want, and they execute the orders for you at market open.

For example, if you want to deposit $100 between Apple, MSFT, TSLA, & DIS, you could put 25% on each stock, and it would buy $25 worth of each stock at market open. You could do whatever percentage you want as long as it adds to 100%, and you can create different pies. It's not for day trading. I have a ROTH and an Individual investment with them. Mostly blue chip stocks, maybe a couple that are a little speculative, but it's mostly "safe."

Opinion on NIO?

Plus my daughter is getting all excited because a group of people that she works with are big on options trading. I have no idea how it works. Is it risky or sensible trading?
Options are great if you know what you are doing. There are a lot of things you can do with them - all the way from generating money on shares you already own without selling them, trading potential upside on stocks to remove potential loss, use them as insurance to hedge other positions you hold, or my favorite: play them like a lotto ticket for a chance at three to four digit % gains. But regardless of what you do it has a lot higher learning curve than shares and IMO requires you to check your portfolio more than casually once every week or so like some people do with just shares.

Is there a conventional wisdom on time of day to buy?

For example, is there typically a drop when the markets open? Or maybe the inverse?

Not really. Best to not really try and time it. Maybe set a limit order at a certain price if you're concerned about a huge jump screwing you over on a market order.

I make most of my money during pre market hours and first hour of bell. 3-4pm eastern is power hour ans can be lucrative.

I generally try to avoid buying at open unless you are expecting a spike and are trying to get in ASAP. Historically its better to buy at close than at open. However this is probably more relevant to day trading, if you are looking to invest and hold for longer than a few days I wouldn't worry about when you enter - you are looking for the cliche "time in the market" not timing the market.

@HeHateMe Can you give me boomer directions for getting into vechain pls. thanks.
I do it on binance US. Downloaded the app and went thru verification process. It will take time to get your account funded probably, and there are probably other exchanges.

you missed a 20% dip yesterday, recovered nicely.

He is probably way too high right now for those kind of directions. Maybe if he didn't get high every day.

Yes. But u might want to buy vtho and use big pumps in that to buy vet. Vet generates vtho but vtho is seeing huge runs because it is so cheap I guess.

I have to obviously get the account funded still, but I figure I might as well start getting involved in some of the crypto blockchain stuff sooner rather than later. Found a pile of cheddar I forgot I had and figure i might as well forget it again after it is invested into some crypto.

I jumped in with you on VET after reading about it. All in on the supply chain. I bought some with my debit card, but I don't like the fee on cards, so it was just to get in. I missed that dip yesterday too waiting for my bank account to verify. For whatever reason, that Plaid verify doesn't get along with my bank, so I always have to do the mini deposits.
