I sent you PM but yeah I think tomorrow I'll see. They interviewed the CEO today on CNBC. I think its a solid company headed in the right direction. Good chart for the last year and they have great Fundamentals. They're on top of AI and IOT which is getting huge. [Reply]

I bought into NXTD in the premarket yesterday for 2.8 got out at in two chunks at $7.7 and 6. I don't normally touch pennies but when I saw LFIN hold steady after that CNBC interview w/ the CEO, I figured there was just too much momentum. People are crazy..
That Long Island Iced Tea company that renamed to Long Blockchain and shot up 600% lol! [Reply]

It seems like the tax plan should push stock prices up, though much of that may have already happened on speculation.
I've been pondering pulling a big chunk out to buy some real estate, and will be looking at a property in the next week or so. I worry that I'm going to miss a tax bill runup if I do, but I also feel like the stock market will at some point cool off. It's been, what, a seven-year run? [Reply]

Is now the time to mention that the tax plan will negatively affect housing prices, most likely, especially in higher tax states, due to the cap on mortgage deduction and SALT, including real property taxes?
May not affect you depending on your property location and/or what type of property this is. If the property is for renting, then you should be safe. Not like 1031 like-kind exchanges are being negatively affected or anything. But if it was a buy, fix-it-up and flip situation, that market might cool off at the higher end of the price range.

Yeah, I've wondered about that. My theory is that it'll hurt that $1M+ housing, but it could actually help the housing just below that range. I haven't looked to see if the mortgage deduction is a phase out (which it should be rather than a quantum cutoff), but if it's a quantum cutoff it seems like it could drive some demand down from the $1M range into housing in the $750K range, and that range won't be hurt by the bill (other than property tax deduction caps - did those go through?). Does that make sense, or is my thinking flawed? [Reply]
I just opened a TD Ameritrade brokerage account as my Scottrade brokerage and bank accounts start shutting down in mid January through mid February during the takeover.
I didn't want to wait and have it done automatically because there will be a LONG delay from getting a new debit card and the ability to auto pay bills online. It's been my main bank account since 2009. I loved it and it served me great.
As I logged into my new TD Ameritrade account I am overwhelmed with a massive amount of info. Too much in my opinion.
My questions:
Who here has an Ameritrade account?
Can the screens or tabs be customized to remove the clutter?
Do you have the cash management account as well tied to the brokerage?
Do you auto pay monthly bills like a cell phone or gym membership?
Do you have a debit card?
How quickly do they clear check deposits?
Is there anything negative about the account you can think of?
What's the best features?
I feel like it's going to take me months to get used to it. [Reply]

I use stop losses nearly every day on certain stocks. Especially some of the highly speculative ones where you expect a 20% run up but may get a 20% drop. I'll buy the stock and then just go ahead and set up a stop loss.
And then a stock like X which is up over 50% for the year and reaching a level that could begin to decline. I think when it hits $40 I will put a daily stop loss just in case. It costs nothing to do it anyway.
BTW , scho63 , I use ETRADE so I can't help with your Q's [Reply]

VLO has a nice chart . I know Valero very well as I live so close to their refinery I'm in the kill zone if it blows. Have several tenants that work there.
All these oil / energy stocks have only made a move up the last 3 months so they still have upside potential. [Reply]
