Such a crazy market.

Telsa up 2%. If the masses believe Elon (and I think they will), could go up 5-6% today. Too hot for me...not touching. But, think it could be a wild roll-coaster for people setup to zip in / zip out. In the old days, what we called day-trading. Is there a term for that now?

I posted a few days ago looking for good options to stash cash in the very short term. Capital One 360 Online Savings pays over 3.25% without fees or restrictions. Local brick and mortar banks don’t even pay that much with CDs up to a year or two. No brainer.

I’m guessing it could be another head fake, markets up in the morning, then give it all back throughout the day and even end down at the close. That seems to be a pattern after several consecutive down days. Can’t outsmart the algorithms.

Amazing how many people keep their money in accounts that pay .1%-.5%.

My guess as well...

Makes no sense for market to go up today.

Which this year means....it will probably go up....lulz

But, I'm betting down

 

[VolAllen]

Short CCL?

I keep all my money in this account. It's too easy. I only add to it. I never take anything out, and they pay me $250 a month to keep it there. Not bad.

I think we are seeing the Santa rally into the New Year rn.

Dang! I need to look into that.

Hope so. I had already given up on Santa this year

Short CCL?

Would certainly think so

CCL is up about 4.5%. long day though

The only down side is that the activity is limited. But with CDs with comparable rates, you are limited to zero activity. I can’t remember if C1 was 6 withdrawals per month or per quarter. No limit on the number of deposits. The only other issue that I saw is that they can delay withdrawals for 4 or 5 business days if they want to. But they probably don’t do that unless you’re suspected of being an international money launderer. So VolAllen and Jax_Vol would be screwed.

It's 4 per month I believe. It's really not restrictive at all tbh. I could get it anytime I wanted to.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Would certainly think so

Got to be a pump and dump going here, right? WSB or somebody?

Up 6% now, but bet they aren't holding into close; probably not holding into lunch.

I can't imagine Carnival Cruise Line made money last quarter

Yup...I don't want to join any club who would accept a member like me.

I shorted 500 shares in the premarket when it was up at 8.36, then covered at like 7.77 when it dropped. Was surprised to see it up when I opened up the app again so I just now shorted it again at 8.70

A few days ago I almost did a bearish trade on NKE. #BulletDodged

I think I saw 6 per statement, but I didn’t pay attention if it was monthly or quarterly.

It’s not limited per amount, so it would be easy to just take out bigger amounts if once every week or two or three is a problem.

I use Ally Money Market and CDs. 3.3% MM and north of 4% high yield CDs.

I thought the quarterly earnings were after close. Sorry.

They do have a strong forecast for 2023. But, yeah, it is a report that is a lot of talk without that much meat.

I think it will yo-yo all day, but might close up 5%.

On the other hand, the Nike report is stout. That might be a 16-18% gainer.

Hopefully, 2023 will return to "normal".

I was going to check Ally. Without bricks and mortar stores I figured they could compete.

Capital One does have free ATMs all over the place. Kroger, Casey’s, Food City, CVS. But that’s not a big deal for me. I use a credit card for everything.
