Hey there, as title mentioned. I’ve lost my job. 33, I have just over 1.5 million in various stocks BBD,AC,BTE.ENB,PPL and a handful of others. Have a mortgage of 470k on property valued at 1.6. Would switching over to high dividend stocks make sense or going with hopeful growth stocks? Sell some and pay off…

I am a new to investing and when I started learning I thought it was something complicated. However apparently if I keep DCAing into a total market index fund, I would be doing just fine… It sounds almost too simple. I've run the numbers through various investment calculators, and they all suggest that if I…

I know the market has been extra volatile given the recent slide. I’m not trying to day trade or even make short term gains. I finally have enough saved up that I’m ready to start investing into a S&P 500 fund through fidelity. Should I wait a little bit to see if the market is…

Lag effect and rate decrease coming plus war, are we getting close to a new bear market? The longest bear market on record for the S&P 500 was from 1946 to 1949, lasting three years. The average bear market lasts around 14 months, but other bear markets have lasted longer: 2000–2002: This 31-month bear market…

Hi all, I want to know your opinions on any stocks that you can see huge gains on in the future (40-50+ years). Examples would include APPL at IPO, NVDA 5 years ago, or AMZN. What I’m currently thinking is anything nuclear, utilities (mainly electricity/powergrid), cyber security, and space exploration/tourism. I saw the run up…

If for whatever reason, say 50% of the options at a given strike price and date for a given stock get exercised early, who/what determines exactly which option sellers have their contract fulfilled and which don’t? Are all option sales a rigid link between the exact seller and the exact buyer? If so, I assume…

These ETFS all have annual yield rates that are north of 30% each year (some of these etfs even have annual yield rates in the 80% range). My question is: How exactly do these etfs work? I tried doing some independent research on these etfs, but I can’t seem to get a clear answer. I…

All, Here it goes. Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Revenue. Total revenue was $128 million, a decrease of 6% from the second quarter of 2023, and remained flat sequentially. Total fee revenue was $131 million, a decrease of 9% year-over-year. Transaction Volume and Conversion Rate. 143,900 loans were originated, totaling $1.1 billion across our platform…

The stock market has had a rough few days. It could be just a taste of the sluggish returns investors can expect over the next decade, according to Vanguard. On Monday the S&P 500 fell 3% as worries about the U.S. economy was spread around the globe. And while the index has still returned 20%…

Somewhat of a low effort post but just looking for some thoughts on the topic. How many peole are holding both? I have equal positions and am debating if I should sell one of them for some dry powder or just put in a etf like VTI instead. Im worried about the Discover/Capitol one merger…
