Yeah I sold mine because I am ignorant. I wanted to see I got my money back and I saw that you are paying 3 dollars to buy and sell. I still have money Etheruem. So I am learning. I want to try etrade to get used to it.

One thing I like about Edward Jones is that I am less likely to go through the hassle of withdrawing because I would feel stupid. So I am less likely to take money out of a roth.

Met with a financial advisor to talk about my 401k. I'm upping my contribution from 6% to 7 and most likely 8 next year.

Didn't realize that 43% of my 401k was in the company's stock and was actually down for the year.
I think I'm going to roll with a target date fund as it seems more conservative and better planned out. 53% is in that but I'm strongly considering adding far more than 53%.

Being honest with TD Ameritrade makes things boring. Can't short anything and can't take options positions that aren't covered.

Right. You should be able to do that no problem. They can't force you to put 401k into company stock. You can thank Enron for the regulations.

I wouldn't do more than 10. They had that at Cabela's when I was there and I figured if they were doing that well, I would be able to extract more money from them through payroll rather than 401k. Whether that's right or not, I don't know. They also had an ESPP that I could get stock at a discount, so I did do some of that.

Target date funds are boring, but as long as they're managed reasonably well, they're a great option. For a while, I just did 100% in a target date fund and left it alone. In theory, that's how they're actually designed to work. If you have a portfolio where you have other stuff going on, it technically messes with your overall allocations. Not a big deal, but I wouldn't ever do like 25% in a target date and then a bunch of other stuff - it defeats the purpose.

Just make sure that the fees (expense ratios) are reasonable. You really shouldn't be paying more than 1% in fees, so if it's much higher than that, you might want to reconsider your options.

I'm noticing the same thing.

I wrote them and they have a section where you can apply for higher tier status for options trading other than covered calls. Might require like $2k in a money market it looks like.

No brokerage firm allows average investors to take unlimited loss positions with shorting stocks or naked call writing without substantial equity of usually $250,000.

Not unusual.

I wasn't looking to do anything crazy like that but simply place a long call on a stock. A few hundred dollars for the premium. Couldn't lose more than that so I'm not sure why that's not allowed?

RJO does in the futures. They make margin calls.

That's it. The world is coming to an end. We actually agree on something.

The investor has some assets up as collateral such as a home or property. No one is going to let Average Joe get short and take a $500,000 loss with no ability to cover the margin call.

You were just looking to buy a call? You normally have to file additional paperwork and show you are a sophisticated investor. Then they have to approve you.

If you own a stock and you want to write a covered call option against it, you usually need a margin account. Your position is protected as if your option was executed and called, you have the stock to hand over.

Yeah. Maybe since mine are hedges they figure I have the physical grain to cover the position but my account doesn't have any physical collateralization on it.

Speaking of which, I just got my margin call. Yay!!
