Hey , I’m interested in buying a few shares as a hobby. I want to do this as a little hobby, but how serious are some of you stock share holders? Can you actually make a passive income being a stock share holder, and if so how many stocks would you need for you to start seeing passive income from things like dividends? Would be interested to hear experiences from long term stock holders
I’m really interested in buying some Disney shares.
Thanks
The uncertainty surrounding the situation in Russia could have a significant impact on global markets.
The events in Russia are a reminder that Putin's grip on power is not as strong as it once was, and there is a real risk of further instability and civil unrest in Russia, one of the biggest oil producers.
Traditional safe-havens such as gold and the U.S. dollar could see a near-term pop, and oil prices could move higher.
What are every

Not sure if I want to stay in cash for a bit or just DCA everything into SPY. Also, this is not a humble brag, I really don’t know what I’m doing
Hello. I'm new to stocks. I've purchased a few sometime ago but didn't trade much since then. If you sell just the portion that is considered profits (excluding the amount initially invested) and use that profit to reinvest in, for example, another share of the same stock, do you have to pay taxes on any of this? For example initial Investment is $500, current value is $700 and use the $200 profit to reinvest in the same stock. Thank you
On ThinkOrSwim paper money I bought a call option contracts at the strike of 11 while the stock was already at 14.19 so I exercised my contract to buy 100 shares at 11 but it bought at the market price and the active trader average was $14.19/share. Am I doing something wrong? I can’t find anything online.
I bought a lot of nvidia several year ago and currently have over a thousand shares. My portfolio has multiplied In value several times. Seeing how nvidia is near its all time high, I’m wondering if now should be the time I cash out and run. I’m worried about the possibility of a recession and stock market tanking within the next 6 or so months. Anyone else have nvidia and did you cash out? It’s a big choice to make and would like a little input. Thank you.
I have recently seen some promotional offers for subscriptions to WSJ and Bloomberg. Are any of you using these and if so, do you prefer one to the other and why? I’m just looking for general stock market news and insights

Does anyone know how to write off the loss for tax purpose on Russian equity ? I hold around $70K of Gazprom that I would like to write off as loss for tax purpose to offset some gains for 2023. However, according to TD Ameritrade that seems imposible at the moment. Even if I just want to get rid of it for $0 return. Is this correct? The italic text below is part of the actual message replied to me from TD's representative.
Thanks in advance for the
Hi, does anyone know what write down in Micron’s context means?
In financial companies, when they report their profits and loss, they have to recognise their paper loss on their investments, even if they have not sold their investments. That means, the same investment might net you a -$1million in Q1, but in Q2 it could give you a +$2million.
In micron’s context, when they “wrote down” their inventory which resulted in a loss being reported, what
