From what I understand, when I short-sell a stock, the sale amount gets credited to my cash balance, and often have to pay a 0% interest for the position (depending on the broker and how hard the stock is to locate). I also know that because of regulation T, I need to have 150% of the value of the shorted stock in my account (100% of the current market value and 50% more as collateral). I am wondering if there is any broker that will allow me to keep that collat
I am interested in purchasing a penny stock. It closed at .85 cents and the buy is currently .8 (the ask is .81). At what price is it best to set my limit order to have the best chance of the trade executing at open? I currently have it set at the close price of .85, but was wondering if I should set it closer to the bid price. Confused newbie. Thanks for any advice.
If you buy into a vanguard mutual fund before closing time, you get the close price at the end of that day.
But how is your price effected if you buy on the ex dividend date?
For example if the close price is $100 but the dividend is $2 would you pay $98 a share or would you pay the full $100, not receive the dividend, and effectively be penalized the $2 when the shares dropped after the dividend?
Which others can we add to the list?
Flat: ZM, ABNB, SOFI

Dear all, I would like to pick up your collective financial brain. I work for a UN agency and for our pension we have different investment options (this is not a 401K). We can contribute up to 11% of our gross salary and the employer matches it 100%. We can compose our portfolio as we want selecting 20% of this, 10% of that, etc. I am pretty sure we have a "special" option which is the "3% option" which guarantees us 3% net over the CPI of th
Datadog, Inc. (DDOG) shares faced a significant drop in Tuesday's premarket trading.
Why the Stock Dropped: The decline in Datadog's stock can be attributed to the company's revenue forecast falling short of expectations for the rest of the year.
Although Q2 results showed improvements and topped expectations, the Q3 and full-year outlook missed analyst forecasts, causing investor concerns and leading t
i hope this question is allowed here. i'm looking at the income statement for a few companies that mine lithium, and 4/6 of them say they have 0 total revenue, and they've had 0 since 2019-2020. does anyone know what this means? it's messing with a calculation this how-to video mentioned when trying to pick which companies to invest in.

Wanted to revisit a post I made last year about VRCA. See Post history around 250ish days ago. While it played out nicely earlier this year, anyone who held through approvals got cooked. This seems to happen a lot these days with small bios. I have been accumulating shares around $5 and will keep adding with some call options for a few months out. Looking at options for 5 and 7.5c out past the next earnings report. I am intrigued by this play because it’s curren
