If I put in $500 and it crashes do I lose the $500 or do I lose more?

When you buy first (without margin), your maximum losses are capped at the amount that you invest. Sell shares short or sell uncovered call options and losses are theoretically unlimited. Buy on margin and your losses can include what’s been borrowed in addition to your own funds.

PZD is another green ETF (clean tech).

Ecolab (ECL) is an environmental company that hasn’t taken off to an unreasonable valuation yet. Ecolab has a very good business model and is a well run company with good management.

With all of the ETFs, you can go to their websites and see lists of individual companies that the funds are invested in.

What's the best app or website to do this on? I may take a stab at it.

CCIV today. Now if the rest of these spacs would just triple.

P.S. We were talking about MACK a few weeks ago, and I got back into that today. This was the one that had hunkered down waiting on the outcome of a clinical trial for a cancer drug.

Still riding my Nokia gamble. Down 10% right now. Typically I would cut bait (and I still might) but before this pump it had been a $4-$5 stock for most of 2020 and trending upwards. Might have to hold for awhile, but I think it'll hit $5+ before too long.

What sucks is I was on the fence between $NOK and $PHUN on Friday morning, but went with $NOK instead based on the hype. Just my luck, $PHUN doubled in share price and $NOK went down.

Johnny Majors used a common saying quite often. "If ifs and buts were candies and nuts what a Merry Christmas we would have."
At any rate I think of that when something like that happens to me. If only I had .........
