PayPal up over 5%, attracting interest from buyers (banks). Has lost half its value over the last 12 months.

+7% 220 to beat
ETF or funds over shares is my basic take. The exception is obviously those particularly skilled in trading with some personal advantage but I still reckon net worth bias should be towards most secure over performance.
The ownership question came up in 2008 when quite a few big companies might have gone under. The bank or whoever, big or small doesn't directly hold your shares its done via trust. It wont appear on the liquidation assets and given to the taxman because it was never in their direct control.
ETN is the exception to that. That's a personal debt or liability the bank has to you, it varies from ETF and is not as safe. Dont use those imo unless your day trading but then you sell every day anyway I guess. There'll be articles discussing this properly but I dont immediately have a link.
I used to discuss interactive brokers and stocks in general on the MSE forum. One lady was trading her husband's pension 40k of RDSB and so on, another guy was an accountant or a trader with IB and so on, was good learning for me.
The thread got deleted after 2009 had finished because the mods thought the whole financial crisis story was out of date expired, go back to savings now; far from it!
Topics are reoccurring imo, gold was relevant then as much as now. I still have my 2009 sovereign and a few stocks, wish I held BTC from then but who knew!
Thats how I qualify investment iteratively, I consider AI to be repetition not new in the perspective of ease of use. Like windows 1.0 and so on, it wasn't actually the best product imo. CLI is the best use, win was slow as hell but real world via consumers MSFT was a game changer and investment was valid.
I think that same 40 yr old theme could also apply now .
I dont think this is 1929 or 2008 and Nvidia appears cheap with doubts apparent imo but cant assume either way.

It's the market data for a few different stocks. Seems like it's 50/50 as whether it'll load or not. Does appear to be getting better though.
Yep. All up to date.
Edit: example
Edit 2: and now it appears to be working a few minutes later. So I'll find a stock that won't load, try a few times to no avail, then a few minutes later it more works. That keeps repeating on various stocks that I haven't looked at before.

Maybe. I haven't had this issue until about 2 hours ago and it was working fine all morning. I'll take a look at it later today if it's still an issue.
