Holy Crap, SHOP has gone crazy, unbelievable.

I just saw this is coming tomorrow, heads up to anyone

'United States Oil Fund, LP (USO) has announced a 1-for-8 reverse split effective Wednesday, April 29, meaning shareholders will receive one share of (new) USO common stock for every eight shares they currently own. The stock price will increase to eight times its value at the April 28 close, so shareholder net positions at market open April 29 will be the same as before the split, plus or minus market movements. The deliverable on USO options contracts will be 12.5 shares instead of 100.'

I have never invested in USO stock, I know some here have so I was giving them a heads up on this news. Maybe that was the wrong idea.

Same thing here in CA for my recent orders. Said few weeks out and in 2-3 days the delivery was made.

We have the same here in Northern Cali

Any thoughts on the TCO - SPG deal that fell apart today and how this could possibly effect MAC if at all?

Guessing this could be very good

Grabbed another 200 shares of MAC today for the long term

There has been a lot of mention of REIT's in this thread as of late. I wanted to ask the thoughts, if anyone knows good or bad, about SKT (Tanger)? Would this be a decent long term play?

Thank you for any response.

Thank you all for the responses and the opinions on SKT. I have not purchased any at this point but will be watching from the sidelines the next 2-3 days due to the outcome of the election and may make my decision then. I appreciate the feedback as REIT's are an unknown for myself.

Ameritrade is showing this IPO as starting off at $42 a share and starts selling at some time today. Anybody going to jump in or wait for the IPO dust to settle?

This is too bad.

I enjoyed not only listening to input from these two but everyone else within this thread. There has been great information from everyone and I have seen most anyone who posts in here on investing recommendations to "do you're own due diligence".
Really hoping the dust settles and these two do make it back in here, they posted quite regularly with interesting advice as well as a few others with experience in investing, which I have appreciated immensely.

I did notice this and I hope all is well with you. Thanking you for the previous contributions into this thread and hoping the vibe does change back to what it was.

For me, and I can't speak for others, but I do not understand the "shorting, calls, puts, etc" and in no way going to move that way since I have no clue on what I would be doing. I have watched videos and such but still just don't have a full understanding of that process so I stay away.

Sooo, for me, I listen to advice here, do some research on a company on my own and decide if I want to purchase the stock at the current price and buy what I can afford to lose. Due to the advice of others on this thread I have been able to make a very decent profit and am greatly thankful for that. I myself listen and bought into XOM as well, not going to be rich but profiting 39% in a three month period is exciting to me.

This was an interesting read, Thank you.
Seems if you are betting on Ackman it would be smart to own both sides (PSTH & PSHZF)
More bang with psth if he truly selects a unicorn and the hedge fund should gain with a deal with a true unicorn. We shall see.

Macerich is having a nice pop today....

How exactly does this work? Do you buy Ethereum (ETH-USD) then have to mine? Or purchase this and it fluctuates like any stock, up and down for gain or loss?
Sorry for such a basic question but have I have never understood all the crypto and that has kept me away.

Appreciate the response and that clears it up.

After seeing mixed reviews with coinbase (both positive and negative) I will stay away as I do not understand how people can lose their coins and the customer service seems weak to respond but I thank you for the offer. I would much rather just stay with Ameritrade since I have my account with them.

With all the craziness going on right now in the market, I want to THANK ALL in this specific forum for the education and ideas on what to look at for investments.
Since March I have done well and I am planning on shaving some off the top and play with "the house" money. Not even close to making what some have made in this forum (far less, lol) as I know I am not educated enough to play the market but I am greatly appreciative and humbled by the assistance that you all provide to assist those of us that have a small amount to play with in this market. Long story short-----THANK YOU-----and I will continue to listen.

MAC & SKT seem to be having a very nice start this morning.

Doing the same but only 250 shares.

195 shares, nice uptick for sure

This was actually funny to watch. Funny how upset and defensive the Fast Money Halftime Report guy was getting.

I am watching it on CNBC Fast Money Halftime Report on the television.

I am surprised AAPL is not up today with earnings coming at close. Are the earnings priced into it already?

Yes, he did. Didn't see that coming.

What is the better buy right now on PINS, SNAP, AAPL or SE?

They are trying to shut down what has been going on, which does not seem right. Funny how all the wall street individuals are all pissed off about GME and how they all got rolled.

This is a screenshot of what TD Ameritrade offers for buying & selling at specific times of the day.

Facebook shut down the 'Robinhood Stock Traders' forum today. 157,000 members silenced for a short time, Unbelievable!!!

Guess I should have used the term "Bullshit" to get my point across.

I agree, I grabbed 10 shares after hours.

Question Ice, earlier you mentioned PINS tends to follow SNAP. Earnings reports on both companies were very good. My question is why would SNAP drop off after hours and PINS do much better after hours? Is there more of a user base/traffic on PINS that causes this?
I see future guidance is off for SNAP.

Iceman, is this something to be concerned about? Macerich seems to be quiet on this.

I can see this dropping at anytime but many may be waiting until March 9 to qualify for the dividend that is collected on March 23rd. After that, I bet it gets really, really ugly.

Hey Ice, do you see this getting back to where it was since it did have a 1:20 reverse split during April of 20 during the pandemic?

Thank you

Any thoughts on the REIT (TWO) Two Harbors Investment? Looking long term 3-5 years out.

Pays a nice dividend, which may not be as high in the future, and stock price should recover once we are finished with the pandemic.

I have recently purchased a couple hundred shares in the $5.50 range and am contemplating adding to my position with the hope of a recovery of price in the long term.

I would agree with you that the stock has been trending down which is why I recently purchased.

Let's stay on topic, Stock Market. If ya'll want to attack each other, take it private please.

How about FSLY Ice? This dropped big today, time to reload?

BRONX
Yes, destroyed for sure and I feel as oversold. I have noticed what you mention about companies that beat expectations and actually have neutral to forward outlooks getting beat down as well, sure hard for me to get my head around that. Day isn't over yet but only down 3% for today, keeping my eye on it as well.

I know Ice was big on this in the past and was hoping he would chime in on his take with what was reported

If I understand the GlobeNewswire report correctly you would have to hold this until April 10th to actually get the $2.50 dividend per share and cannot sell before that date?
Do the 'Due Bills" have any effect on this?
