Not what I expected.

Guess selling so much yesterday was a good call.

Bought some back.

Yup. I did not realize I had enabled it when I signed up.
My other accounts (Robin Hood and Schwab) it is not enabled it, so if I did not have the cash, I could not buy it. Simple enough.

I had heard of margins, but did not know what they were exactly, and just did not know I had it enabled on TDA.
Luckily I have the cash to cover it (and as said, could have sold the current stock I had in that account to cover if needed).
It could have been an issue for me if I had used the full amount of margin I had available.

I really have not been impressed with the TDA interface. It has more "useless" info for me. Schwab is similar.
I said it before here, while I want out of Robin Hood for their evil practices, but I still find their interface the most useful and easiest to use and navigate.

Same. Used my sale proceeds from yesterday to round up my share count to an even 500 at 21.43. My OCD is happy now.

Global markets are all down today, this isn't just manipulation of MVIS. Combined though seem to be having more of an affect than either alone.

Delo on R/MVIS. This is very much manufactured.

"Dark Pools showing a negative $900 Million balance, MMs are the ones that operate on those pools, so they sell shares to raise money and mark shares short exempt to circumvent the Short Sale Restriction."

Darkpools


"Short exempt"? How the fuck does that work?

If I knew more of what I was doing, then TDA and Schwab may be more beneficial for me.
I am messing more with Schwabs site and will probably move everything to that one as I am able to.

I don't get it either. How do these darkpools accumulate shares off exchange to start with? Are those under the table deals from someone who was compensated with shares?  None of it makes sense to me.

Thanks. I am "winning" so far.
Not as much as some, but more than others.
Mistakes were made on the way, but nothing major.
I am blessed to be able to have what I do, and am thankful for the info that has been presented here.

I could sell everything now and pay off my house and have a little left over.
But what is the fun in that. :D
I want a lot left over.

I got into this with money I was comfortable loosing. While over the past year I have put in a little more than I should have overall, I would survive even if all my stocks went to $0.

A $125 margin use that turned into a $900 margin call was completely my ignorance of what tools were available to me. I don't blame TDA for that.


This just gives me something to do today waiting for the garage door repairman to call me back for an estimate and timeframe for repair.

IMHO, the lack of transparency with Darkpool trading can lead to to a lot of underhanded shit going on in these private exchanges.  I am not really sure how they are legal...

Interactive brokers reported a fee of 113.9 % and 50 shares available at 9:45 today.

AMC is at 26% or so, so MVIS WAS tight.

600k shares returned at 10:45, fee dropped to 37%.  First time so many were available since 3/25, and highest fee since 09-18-2020
