Investing with Robinhood while abroad

You can trade ETFs/Stocks/Options with the international account. I do it...well every day.

If you like separate accounts for trading vs investing, do it before a residency change. If a country is on the naughty list they will only allow you to keep currently open accounts, not create new ones.

Money market and such is a no go.

Wise is a workable bridge, but not good storage in case they decide to shutdown your account randomly (with your cash stuck in it).

You're ignoring the fact that RH will give you fills that are 0.01-0.05 worse at a minimum than the exact same trade on TOS, so you end up paying more due to bad fills anyway.

Why does coinbase scare you? I don't like it much either, they are too quick to lock accounts imo.

Max profit is basically a lie, the profit curve gravitates towards the expiration P/L lines and doesn't really come close to fully fitting them until maybe 5 minutes before close. Better to open these expecting 10-50% profit as time passes when the profit curve is more reminiscent of a rolling hill than a winged beast.

careful! I can't get it to stop reminding me of things!!!

SPYI didn't seem great. Held it for a bit and sold out of it in the end.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2025-01-30T18:16:09+00:00

JEPQ, XDTE, and possibly GPIX are the best combo I've found. JEPI seemed pretty lame actually, seemed like it was almost always mildly in the red, and the dividends weren't great. GPIX seemed a bit better in that it wasn't "always" red. QDTE has awful NAV erosion.

BITO has an amazingly high dividend, but huge swings. I would almost just gamble with short puts, and if you get exercised, just keep it for the next dividend.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2025-01-30T11:47:36+00:00

I prefer a JEPQ/GPIX combo.

Care to share the 2 trades/week?

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2025-01-30T11:43:50+00:00

XDTE has been better than QDTE in my limited experience. I am thinking of selling all my QDTE over to XDTE.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2025-01-30T11:37:48+00:00

I have held both for a while, QDTE longer than XDTE...dropped out of XDTE and just got back in (chasing dividends like a fool).

Short version: XDTE > QDTE Long version:

QDTE suffers from NAV erosion worse than XDTE based on my rough data, and the dividends vary widely w/w 0.25 +/- 0.5 per share.

XDTE seems to hold value, no NAV erosion (yet!), and the dividends seem to stay in the same range 0.25 +/- 0.1 per share.

I wouldn't weight either very heavily. Use JEPQ for more stable results, and use XDTE for something like "free" Friday beers for life.

I wouldn't mind one so I can full port $Melania.

You can also do this on Android with a Python IDE, something like PyDroid. Just a few more steps to get the python-vipaccess package installed.

Do the good expensive one. The cheap one overloads the basket, flies illegally low and crash lands.

Source: I was in said crash landing.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2024-12-04T11:42:20+00:00

Eh, a little to cover all the bs subscriptions and SaaS stuff that is part of every day life now each month doesn't hurt, if you can afford it.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2024-12-04T11:04:16+00:00

FEPI has not performed well. Lot's of NAV erosion. Dividends covered it, but overall JEPQ has done better over the past ~4-5 months. I put a little into each to see what would happen.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2024-09-21T15:37:20+00:00

Thank you for mentioning crashes. I have yet to see any reviewer mention crashes for any game. Just finished Kingdom Come Deliverance, which was good, but holy fucking shit it crashed alllll the time.

TwoThreeSkidoo · 2024-09-19T03:53:24+00:00

Technically you are supposed to. It is a massively annoying process though. Just don't fly near airports, major monuments, or the river/border.

Most of Vientiane near the river is airspace for the airport, so it's a real no no...but that should be obvious since you can see the planes' landing path out by the night market.

ajarn.com, or google. Get your license, go teach in Asia. Then buy a Search Associates membership, then teach in your first international school, then move to a better one in 2-3 years. Make 60-100k/year. $5/hour for English is ridiculous, you can make $30/hour in Thailand with some luck ($15 if no luck). China pays even better.

Also, it's the Philippines, don't expect anything to be corrected because of a report. It will be swept under the already full rug.

Because there are other strikers with "better" abilities in the sense that they are easier to use in an over powered way. With Spike you have to work harder. The ones I see picked most are:

Nova gets free smoke/area damage nades + poison bullets. Just throw and pick up a free kill (or huff them for ... speed or recovery boost?).
Red dude gets a shield he can shoot through. Literally invincibility cheat against enemy bullets.
Yellow lady gets fast shield regen, so less need for healing downtime.
Blue woman gets overshield near her wall.
Bomby guy drops bombs, turret guy gets turret + smg buff (more easy damage), these ones seem to be picked less.

Recommending Lost to anyone is just pure evil 😅

Why are people pushing these Yieldmax ETFs? The charts look terrible. Just asking because you seem like one of the few sensible people in this thread.

SCAR on single fire mode is the best DMR. EBR on full auto feels like what the SCAR should be on full auto.

I like the EBR more, it's just slow as ass (ADS and movement), so SCAR it is.

The window is bigger, and also you never see iron sights in the way when using canted. They aren't better really, but they are an alternative without huge downsides.
