You don’t actually lose the money until you sell. That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway.

Just as the EV bubble "majors" deflate EV and alt power nano caps are rocketing.
SPI, PECK/SUNW arb, JE, OEG etc. No options tradeable on those
Edit. I covered NKLA too soon
Edit2 I couldn't resist. Started NKLA short again 19.20. IB has borrows. Rate dropped to reasonable from 60%

Anyone notice ACB also imploded. Black market cannabis wins

Feds charge Seattle-area Amazon employee with insider trading
Laksha Bohra, a former manager in Amazon’s Tax Division; her husband, Viky Bohra; and father-in-law Gotham Bohra, have agreed to pay back the stock gains, as well as another $1.2 million in penalties and interest. The U.S. attorney simultaneously filed criminal charges against Viky Bohra.
While vacationing in Europe in April 2018, for instance, Laksha Bohra logged in remotely to Amazon’s network to view the company’s preliminary first-quarter earnings statements. The same day, betting Amazon shares would rise after the company announced its earnings, Viky and Gotham Bohra purchased options to buy Amazon shares at a specified price, the complaint alleged. The shares did rise after the earnings report — by 3.6% in one day, netting the Bohras nearly $600,000 in profit on the stock trades.

My TD Ameritrade account was approved for a margin account. Still reading about the concept, (like I said earlier I’m new to this stuff.) seems kind of a no brainer to use their money to make money? (Minus interest and what not.)
Iffin I’m reading right I don’t want to be in super risky stuff with the borrowed shares? I have 11k in, not sure yet how much I’ll be able to use on the margin. I’m assuming I don’t want to use it all and leave some in the account?
My account was approved today but the totals are kinda wonky, my buying power show differing things between the laptop and app. My costs/share all halved and my gains all went to positive, except one I was far down on?

Switch to IB if you're going to trade on margin. Tough to make money paying 9% interest

Do not do it.
Have you ever been at the card table and thought, “I have a great idea, instead of using my money, I’m going to use Vinny the loan sharks money.”? No? Because that is almost exactly what you are doing. Sure if you win you win more, but if you lose you lose more.

Margin is ok if want to short term trade with some leverage to maintain long term positions for tax reasons, short against a long term holding etc. you just have to have a risk plan and stick to it.

They will liquidate you before you go debit. So there’s that.

Isn’t it all play money? In essence yes, I started with cash my wife let me use. For the last cramped up corona time I’ve been taking all the cash I’d usually spend on fishing/guns/ammo and pilfering it into my account.
Hoping to pay for a cruise next year and keep my original cash. I’ve still got my 100 shares of Carnival and get $100 on board credit for having them, which was the original impetus into this foray. Saw shares trading for $12 that were $50 in January. Carnival has been diluted a lot by debt, but trust me people are dying (heh) to cruise and they’ll be back. The CDC put on the no sail order last april for 100 days, 8 days before it expired they extended it to September 30th. It expires Wednesday, no word on an extension. The cruise industry submitted new guidelines a few weeks ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if the order is allowed to expire.
I personally wouldn’t get on a ship right now and I’m happy my sailing is deep into next year. But, like I’ve said in the past I read cruise message boards and groups, and there are plenty of people itching to fill staterooms.
It’s pretty funny I’m the person Benny was complaining about upthread. It is like gambling, and just like gambling there are ways to increase your odds of success.
