Question for the board, several folks have mentioned cashing out or at least going to a higher % of cash due to upcoming uncertainly. When you do this, do you mean literally everything? Even mass accumulation type stocks (OA type picks)? Or are you just dropping your medium to longer term type holdings?
I am using a retirement account, if that affects the answer. It's small (minnow) account compared to most on this board, but I'm learning things and getting better. Mostly curious as to strategies/thoughts here. May look to get a non-retirement account going soon, as this one has very limited options ability and I'd like to dabble in that a bit as well.
Thanks!
Personally here is sort of a brief synopsis of what I have done:KT 90 said:

Wonder if this could be a pitbull low or a shakeout of some kind.

Anyone still in on TSNP? It's been on such a tear lately and apparently the conference call tonight was impressive for their future.

So after today's total whiff on going net free with CIDM, all by not being able to trade at 4am EST, I took OA's advice and established an IBKR Pro account. Just do the math on $1.44 exit to be net free compared to where it closed around $0.90. Over 50% swing I could have caught and 'planted' those shares as OA says. I took a minute to reflect if that was a one off and the answer was nope. Multiple times the target exit was before I could trade.
So for me is wasn't rocket science that if I am going to try and be a more active trader I should probably at least have a platform that helps compensate for my shortcomings. I don't even come close to understanding this game but some things just make sense.
PS - I will keep using TDA/TOS until I am comfortable with IBKR then will begin to transfer my activities over.
Well for starters the Lite you are not solving the issue of being able to trade before 7am. Pro allows that where Lite is like everyone else. Also Pro you will pick fixed or tiered for pricing but there are 'free' trades on ETFs. Look at Pricing and then Fixed or Tiered. Most of the fees are similar with a few exceptions. Also Pro does provide a list of features Lite doesn't.zwhag2010 said:FJ43 said:

I couldn't find the price differences or stipulations of a pro acct vs lite acct vs TDA/TOS. What differences are there?

DUDE, that SLS tip is/was *GOLD*.
As soon as I read this I peeked at it, and it was already up. I put 4k on it, and instantly made $1500 within 90 minutes. Geez.
Waiting to see what happens tomorrow, hoping for a rocketship.
This is from the IBKR transfer section. Will be transferred via ACATS and can take 4 to 8 business days depending on unsettled funds, options expiration dates, etc.aggies4life said:
Do you know if you can still trade your stocks while they are in the transfer from one broker to another?
The interactive brokers margin pricing looks great!
I transferred mine from Robinhood after the March disaster. It took on the lower end of the range above.FJ43 said:This is from the IBKR transfer section. Will be transferred via ACATS and can take 4 to 8 business days depending on unsettled funds, options expiration dates, etc.aggies4life said:

"Please note that brokers generally freeze the account during this period to ensure an accurate snapshot of assets to transfer and may restrict the transfer of option positions during the week prior to expiration."
