I showered early this morning because I knew I was going to be glued to my PC all day with this going on.

I just showered again because I was in a cold sweat for 5 hours straight.

Yup...my ticker is too old for that stuff anymore.

But I could tell a couple of war stories from 25 years ago.

Were you calling your broker back then?

Beginning of E-trade and AmeriTrade and Datek/Deltek/something...I think?

Paying $19.95 per trade

It is a new day.

Any of you guys follow ALAB? Seems like another player in the AI space with rosy predictions?

Welp, up 32% since posting this?

I’m leaning that direction ATM as $470-480 seems reasonable and you get a 3% dividend while waiting. Can’t throw everything into A.I. and technology. Would be more fun if Jax had stayed on board with us!

Hey aeiou - we hit $470 today which I think has us up about 13%! When you cashing out?

Datek. Before Schwab ended up owning most of the “deep discount” brokers. Ameritrade (and the Think or Swim platform). Waterhouse. TD Waterhouse. Scottrade. Datek. They’re all Schwab now.

Touch tone trading was $29.99/trade. It was a big deal when they had to compete and got the price down to $9.99/trade. Brown and Company was another deep discount brokerage.

Then if you were really on the cutting edge you’d get a pocket quote machine. Live stock quotes over an FM frequency. Quotrek. Pocket Monitor.

Mighta kept just a little. Kick myself in the butt.

I recently bought some BMNR just for speculation. Suddenly it had a great day.

So you thinking interest rates are not getting lowered? If they don’t I can definitely see some negative market reaction. If they are lowered, then it’s hard not to predict some positive market movement?

I'm extremely conservative right now in same vein due to Yom Kippur. Historically, September is the worst month. Many would argue it is directly tied to that holiday season.

The Jewish religion has enough money in market, when they stop trading for couple of weeks, you can see the difference.

One of you guys who understands those details better than I can clean up the description and whatever I'm misstating. I'm not Jewish.

Would add, last year, September/October held up very well.
