Hi BeDutch, thanks for taking the time to write. Actually, I've learnt quite a lot since I posted the question. OptionAlpha happens to be my go to site..!! Thanks again buddy.

Hehehehe! Absolutely...!

Hi guys, I've found trading to be quite stressful... "kinda". On the one hand, I really, really enjoy it. On the other hand, I'm constantly buzzing and it's exhausting. Then on the weekend, when the markets are closed... I'm bored. At the same time, the constant buzzing can't be good for me...

Well, I managed to find out, so I thought I'd write it here too... for the next person. On my platform at least, if you sell a call and you own the shares, the default is that your shares will go if the call is in the money on expiry. Now, I've bought shares at different prices, so I haven't...

Hi guys, I had an options question I was hoping I could get help with. It's a covered call question. I wanted to know how these are set up in the platforms... with my basic question being this. I have 100 shares of XYZ which I bought at $10. I then sell a call option at $11, and my plan is...

Hello again, I thought I'd post the first steps of my research. Maybe I'll get a "more" comments. :) I've come up with 6 companies, all traded in the US. All currently under 200 SMA (daily). I'll write a little bit about each one. This'll be a way for me to put my thoughts in order... and...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some medium term downtrending stocks, in order to hedge the incredible highs that the US stock market is at right now. I'm using the finviz screener as a starting point, but I thought I'd ask here in case any had any ideas for me to examine more closely. I'm currently...

I'll go an look up "scrip dividends". Thanks again BD!

Thanks BD. So the dividend stock company will hold on to my 20p and, next time, all things being equal, I'll get three shares? I'm surprised that they would be so organised. I got some dividends recently. I did a calculation, and I'm a few quid short (less than a share's worth). So you think...

Hi guys, So, let's say you have £100 worth of stock. Dividend is 4% payable quarterly. Stock price is 40p per share. Zero taxes, cos it's my example... :-) You're supposed to get £1 worth of shares. Two shares cost 80p, three costs £1.20. How many shares do you get? Any input into how this...

Hi Brandon, Thanks for this informative post. I have a quick question for you if you have a minute. I have some Shell stock (AMS: RDSA). It's trading at around 15 euros these days. Maybe recent high (last three months) was 17 or thereabouts. I was asked whether I wanted the dividends in...

Here's my 5m TSLA tradingview chart... there's no 695. It's about 686 or something.. Admittedly though, after seeing your chart 1stinvest, I looked and I could see it on the daily chart. I've got to be very careful with what I'm drawing on these charts... I don't know how I'm going to know...

695 for sure, I saw it with my own eyes... and google, etoro both mention it, but it's not on any of the charts. It's not on tradingview's chart either. What is going on with these BS charts?! Which chart is reliable?!

Hi Nowler, I'm a complete newbie, and I can't answer your question. I had the exact same problem on tradingview yesterday. It makes no sense at all. I really could use someone explaining it to me. I could also use an explanation for this, similar kind of issue... December the 18th, Friday...

This is my first post/reply. I'm a complete newbie. I've been doing research on this same kind of thing (as @JoshK). I haven't been as organised as Josh though admittedly. I have acccounts with Saxo (saxotraderGo), and Etoro. I'm primarily interested in equities. For these, both my accounts...
