yeah looks like a routine ownership decl edit: there's a 22mil share increase from last year; normal money dumping by blackrock, all those passive funds have to go somwhere.

They are in the aerospace sector as well. Chairman just bought a lot of shares above current price, and they recently acquired FLIR. Flir is a former ark fav, and they've been selling off flir to buy tdy. I'm thinking flir acquisition may be strategic covid/thermo sensors. Are these already common in the usa? If not that's a huge market. In Singapore basically every major public access building (including malls) has a scanner at entrance. Will Biden admin make these mandatory? https://www.teledyne.com/en-us/investors/Documents/January 2021 - Teledyne Investor Presentation.pdf
a wise WS pro had made this point: While There are many reasons that insiders sell co stocks, there is only one reason they buy co stock, they think that the stock price will rise
@adoo this may be a dumb question but is there a way to transfer stocks and options from one brokerage to another
@Dr of Dunk my financial advisor just told me to buy actc another youtuber told me to buy clov; at current price looks good too. will slowly avg in this coming week. could be deep RED and many tears.
lol. I'm looking for opportunities outside of SPACs, but maybe Skippy Handelman knows what he's talking about. The only thing I worry about some of these "truck" and "bus" fleet type electric stocks is whether major cities will be spending like mad on these things with all the COVID issues. In the US, we're still waiting to see how much of a stimulus/infrastructure package we'll get and how it will get distributed. I guess this is as good a play as any of the dartboard stocks since they at least seem to have revenue. lol. That being said, I'm still waiting to see if this GME stuff has any huge fallout with other "normal" stocks first. For example, if MSFT dips a chunk more, I'm probably buying more. Still kicking myself about getting stopped out of SWKS a day or two early after waiting for months on the thing. @(*&(!
To all, in the wake of the recent controversy surrounding RH / trading of GME, let’s share ur experience w ur broker. who is your broker Do you plan to change broker, if so why? Do you trust your broker to get you the best available price when you place a market order? What do you like most about your broker? Schwab has been my broker since I was a high schooler last century. I plan to stick w Schwab forever. On several occasions, on market orders, I have confirmed that Schwab actually uses the Market Maker MASH to make the best bid/ask for me For me, the best part about Schwab is the educational services / seminars it provides its customers. I’ve learned quite a bit about TA / Options trading strategies from professional traders who work for Schwab
I use TD Ameritrade (via Scottrade acquisition) and I was able to get filled on YOLO stocks without any issues this past week. I also don't use margin and I almost always use limit orders so I don't get a crappy fill on stocks in play. In the past, the wait times for customer service were also pretty short (5 mins max) so no complaints here.
1. TD Ameritrade. I started with Datek in the late 90's and had a 2nd account with Ameritrade later. I think Ameritrade bought Datek and then they bought TD Waterhouse, so here I am. lol. 2. No. In the many years I've been with them, the only times I've really ever had any issues with them is during a day or two during complete market collapses like the 2007/2008 collapse and recently during the GME run. I'm not a daytrader, so it's not that big a deal to me. If I saw repeated or a pattern of unavailability or outages, I'd leave. I have thought about splitting up ownings to another brokerage for "safety" and for some redundancy in case I can't trade at one place, though. In that case, I'd probably open up an account with Fidelity. 3. I rarely place market orders unless I'm going into some well-known stock like MSFT or AAPL, and even then I'll usually use limit orders out of habit. 4. The research, ease of transfer of funds, equities, options, futures, planning, etc. They pretty much have everything. Now that they're combining with Schwab, it's combining the best of 2 giants. I really don't need a lot of hand-holding and I just deal in equities. BTW, having worked on order matching and order execution engines for brokerages in the past, if order execution, price improvement, etc. is a big concern, IB was always considered among the best. I'm not sure about now (that was 5 or 6 years ago). I'm guessing they're still considered good. And if you're against PFOF, almost everybody does it. A lot of them also do "intelligent" order routing based upon rebates they get, too. I don't really care about any of that stuff, though, so no biggie to me. I know TD gets a TON of money off PFOF just like Robinhood.
Well, futures are blood red. Congrats to the WSB virgins for screwing over everyone, not just the billionaires.
Futures are barely down and it's still early. They could go down huge tomorrow or be all green. And, on a sidenote, I just found out GameStop used to be Babbage's. I remember going to Babbage's at Sharpstown Mall to buy a couple of games on my Apple //e -- I may have bought my first software there (other than Atari 2600 cartridges). Had I knownw this, I would've bought a share of GameStop in memory.
stock market bubble is popping don't worry, The Fed will fire up the money printers to blow that balloon back up to protect yourself, buy and hold bitcoin instead
They were Babbages? Wow. That's 99'er talk right there. Babbages was a ton of fun. Hmm... If that's the cast. I LIKE THE STOCK now. I'll buy as many shares as RH will let me! Maybe 1, maybe even TWO! To the moon! Lulz. To answer the question, I use Merrill and RH and Coinbase and I hate all 3. Lulz.
