Always enjoyed commenting on Stocks, ETFs, etc. that I held, or was interested in. Now, there's a 50-50 chance that a seemingly civil comment like "didn't realize Teslas sales in China we're down that much last quarter, thanks" will be rejected ? It's almost as if Yahoo is trying to drive people away. If the comment problems weren't bad enough, the site has become excruciatingly slow. Any suggestions on other investing sites that allow comments ? I finally found the site I was looking for. The only thing missing is a comment section, but I can live without that. Also love how fast it is relative to Yahoo finance. https://www.financecharts.com/stocks/CAG/growth/total-return Another + is they stick to the rule of KISS (keep it simple stupid) Link above is for ConAgra stock. Most sites that show returns for an individual stock do so using charts. The problem is, when it comes to a dividend paying stock like this one, those returns don't include dividend reinvestment, which can affect returns significantly. A little further down the page, they compare this companies returns to their competitors which is great if you're looking to buy a stock in a particular sector. The best part is that unlike most sites, it looks like all the features are available to use even if you don't register. I'll continue to pimp this site for selfish reasons. I want it to get enough traffic to stay open. PS: Appreciate those of you who suggested other sites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I belonged to an investing forum years ago and whenever I'd state my latest trade, there were a few members who would very subtly imply that I was just making it up.

I left that forum a couple years ago because they're a bunch of a holes who still don't allow any discussion on crypto, or investments in crypto. Quote January 11, 2023 US federal regulators for the banking system, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, recently published a joint statement on cryptocurrency. The statement can be found here. It is brief, clearly written, to the point, and easy to understand. Everyone should read it. They believe that cryptocurrency merits no place in our current banking system. It is far too risky, open to too much fraud and scams, is too unstable, and the threat of contagion to other financial markets too high. From their statement: Based on the agencies’ current understanding and experience to date, the agencies believe that issuing or holding as principal crypto-assets that are issued, stored, or transferred on an open, public, and/or decentralized network, or similar system is highly likely to be inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices. Based on this, ER Forum believes it is in the best interest our our community to discourage discussions about cryptocurrency. If the regulatory view changes forum rules will be revisited. Until that time, please refrain from posting about crypto, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, tokens, etc. What a bunch of bootlicking puzzies.

Regards They ain't wrong. The value of bitcoin is not as a currency but as the token of exchange for a transaction network. In that way, thinking of Bitcoin very much differently then a tech stock is probably not a good way to approach the investment. I've said it about 100 times, but I'll say it again. Bitcoin is basically a speculative tech stock. Recession fear means no bueno on speculation. Tech in general = speculation in the eyes of the market. Bitcoin even more so. Therefore, as long as we see recession fears, Bitcoin will be under downward price pressure. That's why I was so amazed when someone said bitcoin was a store of value. What's happening right now is exactly why bitcoin is not a store of value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that way, thinking of Bitcoin very much differently then a tech stock is probably not a good way to approach the investment. I wasn't saying they were wrong in being wary of bitcoin. I was only stating my disapproval of them trying to play God by not allowing others willing to speculate in it, to be able to do so & discuss their strategies with others who felt the same way. As for Fidelity active trader pro, I tried it in the past & it wasn't for me. I'm not that active of a trader & I use a minimal amount of technical analysis. Isn't a death cross a bearish signal ? If I have that right, not sure why you'd want to start a position at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I have that right, not sure why you'd want to start a position at that point. Well for the moving averages, for example, you can set it up with your preferences then save that graph. Then you can pull it up on any ticker you want in the future. Highly customizable. Death Cross signals a bear market, but it's usually a level of resistance for a particular stock. A big On Sale sign if you're holding long term - after the bear is over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
