>According to an ancient Greek legend, the figure of a gigantic crab was placed in the nighttime sky by the goddess Hera to form the constellation Cancer. Hera swore to kill Heracles, the most famous Greek hero. Hera attempted to kill Heracles in many different ways, but each time his incredible physical strength allowed him to survive. The Romans called him Hercules. Hera cast a spell of madness on Heracles, causing him to commit a great crime. In order to be forgiven, he had to perform twelve difficult tasks. One of these tasks was destroying the terrible nine-headed water-serpent, Hydra.
>During the battle between Heracles and Hydra, the goddess Hera sent a giant crab to aid the serpent. But Heracles, being so strong, killed the crab by smashing its shell with his foot. As a reward for its service, Hera placed the crab's image in the night sky.
I wish I had chosen a different crypto exchange. I had a couple hunnerd buck of ETH still left on QuadrigaCX when they exit scammed. Thankfully got most of it out in time but not all.

can anything like what's happening right now with coinbase happen in the stock market? can a brokerage account get hacked? can robinhood get hacked?
Aaron Carter

Julian Martinez

Ian Diaz

Cooper Morgan
Why don't you shove a loaded gun up your ass and fucking pull the trigger asshole?
John Garcia
whatever it is that happened today. flash crashes? what?
Samuel Wilson
sure they can get hacked, but the assets they broker aren't immutable like blockchain.
it's almost as if irreversible transactions aren't a good thing.
Thomas Diaz
>can a brokerage account get hacked? yes
>can robinhood get hacked? yes
anything with credentials can be 'hacked', meaning accessed by unintended parties and used in unintended ways
All the food company earnings will be soft until Friday, when the BIG BOY puts all the little food companies on his back and drags the entire sector up +4%
Parker Lopez
Theoretically anything can be hacked. In the US, at least, the FDIC does NOT insure money on the stock market. However a non-profit organization, SIPC, does. If youre not in the US, i suggest you look for if an equivalent non profit exists in your country. In general you should never invest anything youre not willing to lose but yeah losing all of it would suck.
Cameron Cooper
>can a brokerage account get hacked? can robinhood get hacked?
Yes to both but you are covered by banking insurance in those cases. It's not as sketchy as crypto exchanges.
Grayson Brooks
covered by baking insurance? which bank? the bank account i use for the brokerage account?
William King
WOWOWOW I straight up called the top in crypto thanks CNBC!
if it keeps dumping like this, I'll be able to afford 1 BTC!! finally!
Jeremiah Ortiz
I am note very familiar with the particulars of how that insurance works and who ultimately covers the claim. It may depend on who was responsible for the breach. In any case, you are covered for loss due to data breach or personal account breach when you trade through a reputable stock broker (be that a bank or Robinhood etc).
I suggest looking up Robinhood's policy on this as it may differ from the information I have regarding my own brokerage.
okay. so reading the policies on potential data breaches and hacks of different broker accounts should be a thing to keep an eye on.
Anthony Robinson
For sure.
Angel Murphy
What % of your portfolio is LCI out of curiosity? I'd never go over 3% for any single holding but I have a feeling people in /smg/ regularly go all in on shit and lose their asses.
Henry Bailey
want to invest in bitcoin from your stock broker? Invest in mining corp. HUT 8 MINING undervalued and is an excellent mining company. +250% since April
Charles Lewis

Owen Hall

Christian Phillips
I figured, just busting your balls.
Noah Edwards
>buy into endp lost 12% >Sell for eth made back losses plus 20% before panic selling Should I get back into the stock tomorrow or keep this in crypto I'm worried Endo isn't done getting btfo by lawsuit's
Ethan Lopez
it was traded at 3.5 usd during the bear market. Now that the bull has started it will go well above that.
Andrew Mitchell
i've read that fdic and sipc also work for people outside the usa
Sebastian White
BTC at 12,345.67 seems like good entry point.
John Stewart
Exited my gbtc position at 1:00 PM central today at 11% ($9K) gain since i was feeling stupid paying so much premium when the coins were going up faster in value than the fund. Good thing I got out when I did
Grayson Thomas
>amdchads If you didn't sell the peak and then buy back in in the high $28 range you aren't a chad.
Nathaniel Walker
I called coinbase sketchy yesterday and people in this thread assured me it wasn't
I have about 50k in debt in student loans. I also have about 45k in my savings. So the question is, do I pay off loans, or do I invest and pay off later.
Jason Rogers
>lost money today >in fact have been losing money hand over fist for months don't worry bros, that just means it'll be that much sweeter when it bounces back haha
>Paying student loans >When bernie is just going to forgive them
Jaxon Phillips
but who cares about the premium? since april 1 GBTC went up 250% vs 235% for BTC
Cameron Perry
yeah, i'd honestly wait and see if papa bernie cancels them.
Leo Foster
you want a company that has a long history (10+ years) of uninterrupted dividend payments with no substantial cuts to this dividend at any time. It reflects a broader company strategy to compensate their shareholders.
Camden King
Well the other thing is that btc is traded around the clock and I want to be in a position to make a move if it does something crazy after hours.
Josiah Martinez
Yeah!
Austin Scott
that's the big thing that prevents me from buying gbtc. unless you get a good entry for a long term hold I hate the fact that you can have those gaps down.
Joseph Reed
and this also applies to ETFs and funds overall? can you give me some examples?
Mein neiger. Been holding 30 since last year. They’ll make me a founder on our moon landing.

ok if a company pays a yield of 5%. Then a decade later the company still pays 5%, and hasn't grown, that isn't so great.
If a company pays 3%, and a decade later the company has 2x the market cap but still only pays 3%, you're making a yield on your initial investment of 6%. (you get more gain from the stock price increase than the div as well)
so the yield that you see when you buy the stock is a very small amount of the whole picture. growing yields can be a good thing, but remember the yield is just a percent of the current stock price. you want the stock price to grow and the payout to grow, in a sustainable way. that comes from the company's earnings. even if the yield % goes down, if the stock price goes way up your actual realized dividend is higher. that's what you want. if a stock price goes down with the same div, your yield increases, but you don't care about yield % because you're a smart investor: you care about share price increase and how much div (in $) you get paid !
high-quality, well run company will find the best way to pay you back as an investor, whether by increasing their value or paying out dividends. they won't try to make their div yield % as high as possible while ignoring everything else, they will try and make their div $ payout as high as possible, hopefully in a sustainable way

You're probably right, money invested in the US or in companies based in the US, is probably protected by FDIC/SIPC. It would make sense
Jaxon Moore
but say the company gives 1% div. if after 10 years the company's value doubles, won't my dividend also double?
Lincoln Scott
>bought F at 8.50 >bought NWL at 14.50 I’m not as Chad as but I’m feeling good.

Zachary Walker
Trump's totally fucked this time. He's going to have to fight Spartacus in the final debate. It will be at this time when Corey Booker removes his mas to reveal he is actually Gary Coleman on stilts and faked his death to spend more time involved in politics. It will be at this moment I spit out my beer in laughter at the clown world, and we'll all go to the polls to elect an actual comedian instead of this wanna be reality television star/business man.
Colton Howard
Finally net profitable on it again for the 100th time

Sometimes flat dividends are good, especially if the company is stable. Older companies in established industries free of disruption can continue to pay out their dividends and remain dependable. Sometimes a growing dividend hampers a company who will have to cut the divvy in the future.
Isaac Jones
He will choose Bernie Sanders so we can have a true Jewish Nigger Dwarf ticket. It's the only ticket we deserve.
