Traditional retail scares the shit out of me. I don't really see much to invest in. Very few, only niche companies with stand alone stores. Anything tied to an indoor mall is pretty much dead on arrival.

Make sure you say hi to me when I am 90 and still working as a Walmart greeter. Sucks when you lose half your retirement in a divorce- it takes a lot of years to get it back.
Yeah hit me up and I will give you some money to convince pest I am funny

Agreed. Except maybe Walmart. It's always going to attract lowest common denominator types. Their free 2 day shipping might take some shine off amazon who would be the only retailer I would even think about.

I doubt any of them release it but it is all driven by inventory efficiency (probably calculated as inventory turns or inventory as a % of sales) and sales/sq ft. That's where amazon is hell on these fools. They set up the infrastructure and make vendors hold the inventory and do the shipping.

There may be a buying opportunity if labor laws relax some or something maybe. But I don't see what is going to make retail more profitable save structural changes or taxes that would hurt online sales.

Alright, I opened an individual brokerage account to play with and I just placed a (small) order for UBQU. Go cannabis, go!

Were definitely getting another rate hike this month. Futures are over 90% now. A 2nd one by June is almost at 50%

Here's a beginner's question...when I am creating a buy order for a stock I'm seeing "bid" and "ask" prices and then a place where I can specify a price, but it is pre-filled with the "ask" price. What is bid vs. ask?

There are a set number of shares available for a given stock. When you buy shares of a stock that means someone else is selling.

Bid is what someone buying is willing to pay per share.
Ask is what someone selling is willing to accept per share.

Bid/Ask prices fluctuate constantly as the share price of a stock changes.

You're entering a market order.

Read this
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bid-askspread.asp
Then this about limit orders
http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answ...-far-apart.asp

That site has good info for a beginner. You can also paper trade in their simulator

For big stocks, I think the difference between bid and ask is so small that it's inconsequential. But for small stocks sometimes it's a pain because you always get the price that's worse and it can make a difference in your plan.

If/when you buy, make sure to put in a limit order, not a market order. Especially on lower-priced stocks. It's just as easy, and it keeps you from getting screwed by market makers.
