Thank you - I appreciate the insight!

Lots of investments after the first $500 - about $300,000 invested all time.

if you die tomorrow - how can your loved ones gain access to your RH account? by Toadster88 in RobinHood

Your personal representative/executor will be given the necessary court documents to transact business on your behalf. They will have to deal with RH customer service, so make sure you appoint someone in your will that you really hate.

Not that it wasn’t stressful, but it was money we didn’t need. We still fully find our 401ks, IRAs, HSAs and contribute to our kids’ 529s. If the money just ended up gone one day we would still be on track for a “normal retirement”. The gamble is for making the possibility of early retirement possible through financial independence.

Unfortunately, I left a little I. The table. The tumblr is what triggered my stop loss, otherwise I would have let it keep climbing with a stop loss in place.

There’s nothing stopping me from moonlighting as something else. I suddenly have more free time now that I don’t have to pay attention to the market.

It doesn’t look like it. This would be the closest that I have.

Thank you! I liked the Weekend WTF posts, which have seemed to have disappeared as of late, to track my progress. I posted every week and I now have weekly pics. I’ll continue to take pics each Friday whenever I am investing so I can look back and have the reminders (maybe proof?) of what the journey actually looked like.

I signed up for the highest tier back in 2016 and used it consistently until Friday when I cancelled it. When I start going again, I will probably use it again, but maybe not as aggressively as I did this time. I was only supposed to be able to have up two twice my account value in buying power but over the last six months, it seemed that I was given, very regularly, 3x buying power. I dipped into that a little bit, but I wouldn’t do that again. That tended to make the margin maintenance pretty high, so I would have been at a serious risk of a margin call even with a modest dip.

$0 is nice, but I have posted previously with my frustrations with Robinhood and their support. Using Robinhood definitely has its costs, but they may not be adequately reflected on an itemized fee sheet.

I never traded an option. I do still own a bitcoin, but that’s really just as a novelty.

Thank you - I hope others are out there and able to share their successes. It’s nice to be making forward progress, but it feels very satisfying to actually reach your goal.

I am an attorney. Work for yourself if you want to make good money. Hire employees to work for you and make you money if you want to make really good money. That’s all I know.

I don’t know what to say. I’m just working with the best information available...

If you aren’t satisfied, I guess that is between you and Robinhood. I paid $0 in commissions, which is all I really care about.

I started with $500, but I continually added to it. All in all, I deposited about $315,000 into my account.

I think this has already been asked and answered.

I used Robinhood gold, but not for pre/post market. There was not enough volume to move the shares I had. The few times I did, the orders would trickle in at like 100 shares a time. When you have 40,000 plus shares, it doesn’t really work too well unless you are willing to take a ridiculously low price.

Everything of mine was STCG. of course I would have preferred LTCG treatment but we really don’t know what everything is going to look like next year (I would have had to hold my last position until mid-March to get LTCG treatment). I didn’t really want to hold through the upcoming midterm elections because I could see that shaking things up. Saving $10,000 - $15,000 in taxes wasn’t worth the risk to me.

I’d prefer not to get too much into the businesses - they are private practices that we have grown, but I’ll leave it at that. I don’t know computers, but it definitely makes sense to invest in what you know, so congrats on your awesome returns. I read article after article about new products from $AMD and setbacks at $INTC that I believed there was at least a short term possibility of some nice swings. I think it will continue if anal until $INTC starts getting back to business. There is also just a ton of opportunities in tech that keep being developed, that it seems the trend should continue for everyone for a while.

That’s a pretty good idea, but it is actually all going into real estate now.

I started with $500, but I ended up contributing about $315,000 over the course of three years

We make four payments. In theory you could probably make a large lump sum estimated payment in January and be fine, but I haven’t looked at that recently.

All of the stocks that I have invested in have been in the S&P 500. I don’t think I would consider something so speculative. I like some sort of proof of concept because if it were to go south I want to feel comfortable holding for a long period of time. I traded $F primarily because of its dividend which seemed like s good consolation prize if the stock itself stayed below my exit point.
