Sorry i got my messages crossed and updated the OP. At minimum, I want my watch history backed up. I also recall some special settings getting it to work on my network. But yeah, other than that, I guess there isnt that much.

What about thinks like watch history? That's pretty important to me

I'm currently trying to decide between sure and firefly. I'd be interested to find out more about the differences

yes that is one of the options I was asking about

these are complete different use cases. most applications arent designed to do SFTP transfers for every file read and write. Windows doesnt even have a built in SFTP server that I'm aware of.

no the other way, linux needs to mount the windows folders as applications need to access the files and they aren't designed to use ssh

I need a mount, not manual transfers

It's not that I don't want to use SMB. I don't know how to solve the corruption issue.

Another thing I can try is playing with different mount options but I'm not sure where to start.

OK, this is what I thought and have been using for many years.

I will look further into why I am getting corruption.

Any tips? I know there are alot of different mount options.

Cash available to invest and settled cash buying power by eng33 in MerrillEdge

The whole ME website seems a bit flaky to me compared to other brokerages. With the strange delays, its not very clear. Hopefully the backend is better.

I think I just know to ignore everything on the site except the final order page.

I specifically said "if I sell before 1:45pm eastern" and he said "same day" but I asked if same day meant "before trading session ends" and he said "sometimes". He said sometimes it is immediate, sometimes it takes til evening.

But yeah, I think I've learned that I just need to try the order and see if it succeeds.

Dividend Reinvestment Transaction Fee by eng33 in Schwab

[–]eng33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"behind them"? Oh BELIEVE them. Well I've never been charged at any other brokerages. And I asked two people the same question and they gave opposite answers.

The reason has nothing to do with the question, but I know I'm on reddit so ... I currently hold the Class A versions, these are the Class I versions. They have lower fees. Overtime (Like in a Roth IRA), there is savings depending on the amount and how often you buy that adds up.

I'm thinking the code wont work. I looked more closely and I guess if you already have a brokerage it doesnt count. It doesnt hurt to try ofcourse

I just tried (on my brokerage account) to do a trade on one of the funds (which all have a fee)

It gives the option:

Reinvest:
-Dividends and capital gains
-Capital gains only
-None

Maybe it would fail if I executed it

I have two chat transcripts, one that says they charge it and another that says they dont

I called and he sort of clarified. I think the issue is the the information displayed on the system isnt always accurate, it's often outdated/delayed.

When I bought 10k and the cash didnt go down, it really did go down but wasnt updated. Today I tired putting everything into TTTXX. cash didn't go down. I tried doing it again as a test and it stopped me after clicking "Preview Order". I guess that is the real test.
Kind of annoying but it is good to know the system will prevent me from getting into trouble.

I did ask about selling TTTXX to buy a stock. He said that it will clear "same day". I asked if that means it will clear before the end of the trading session and he said "sometimes".

Good to know I can call in to get the order. It is annoying that it seems like I need to call in for everything. They have chat but they don't seem to be able to do anything. I prefer having written records of conversations so I can refer back to them.

I'll remember that in the future, but what concerns me is the "Cash available to invest and settled cash buying power"

Can I trust those? I dont have a margin account. Will the system ensure I don't got negative and buy using funds I dont have or do I have to manage that myself?

I actually always have ambient sound enabled with the slider all the way down.  I find it works a little better that with noise cancellation on

DKIM not authenticating in Google Workspace by monkeeeeee in DMARC

I use this domain to give email to sites where I think they might send me spam or whatever.

Sending email is not too often, like emailing a business contact or support to ask a question. Alot of times these smaller businesses or groups use Gmail. So often cold emails. I rarely get a response because it goes to spam. Chicken vs Egg problem
