Thanks, appreciate it. Today was bad bc there was no warning and it's not like we havent had worse news in the last two months and it didn't react this bad so it caught me off guard after hours. I still have some ptsd from liberation day/weekend.
And specifically, it's bc I'm in a margin account with no day trades left so I was locked out of selling until 8pm bc I averaged down on a lot of them. My other Vanguard account has the 25k for unlimited day trades, but the app isn't user friendly for averaging down, chart reading, quick refresh, navigation, etc. If I move my money out of there I have to pay a 10% tax and I hate the thought of that. I want to be in cash account but when things are this choppy and bearish I usually offload some sales before midnight and can't switch bc the cash has to settle before switching back so I basically walked into a bad time to be in my margin and more leveraged than I wanted to be. Sometimes I even momentarily forget I'm in margin when I buy a big dip, forgetting I can't sell until after 8pm in these instances or else I would've offloaded in the day on the dead cat bounces. Instead, I got locked out AH with no moves.
Thanks for advice, yeah I heard that before a lot and know it's right. Think sometimes I like to buy those AH dips on most days, but not like today when there's nobody buying and every minute it was dropping until 8pm more and more...
Like that advice though on selling into the HF buy orders in heavy fear, very simple to remember. That's how I could have looked at it to hold a little longer to get this rebound probably. This felt like liberation day, and I just have ptsd from that, when the dip kept dipping, things that looked like incredible dip steals turned out to only be the halfway points to the bottom. Etc.
I pay the $20/mo, it's by far the most useful subscription I have. I have a Cursor sub at work and I do enough hobby dev that I'm thinking about paying for Cursor at home as well (I can't log in with my work account on a personal computer).
Because the enshitification hasn't happened yet. Wait until ads are rolling in, free models get dumber.. etc. and the only cure the users will have is to pay.
I wouldn't say all of it, but they definitely should have some taxes levied that are like, "hey, your gonna pay this tax, but the funds go directly to ATC/ATC-supporting programs like the getting people trained or equipment, etc.." They don't need to cover it all, but like an obvious direct cost to them though. Not just airlines, but UPS and FedEX probably.
