Long Position on Silver and Gold?

That's a pretty good idea.

ETA: Anyone familiar with the Robinhood App? A friend wants me to join, but I don't know anything about it.

I use Robinhood. It's pretty nice for frequent trades in standard stocks or ETFs since it has no trading fees. It also has no account minimum so to try it out you don't have to be on the hook for much. It's mobile so it's convenient. However they don't have as many options to invest in- no mutual funds or pink sheet for example. Overall it's a decent resource to have in addition to others you may have.

I have been using Robinhood since February 2016 and have saved over $2K in trading fees. You don't have access to everything (NYSE only), but it's a fantastic option and could not be any more convenient/easy to use.

Friend wants to know which biotech companies he should look into.

Kinda looking at ^VIX(volitility index funds) for short term with very little (less than 10%) cash just to hedge inflation. Rest will be all cash until I figure out something.
I would rather miss out on 5-12% gain than have mega bubble burst on my face.

The whistle blower letter about possible VIX manipulation doesn’t concern anyone?

Index funds , ETF, and ETN has somewhat of oddities and some shady going on (opening relative to pre and post was one issue). Especially those leveraged ones are worse.

Hate to break it to you but I think the whole market is manipulated. Personally, I just try to be early in or early out as I see new opportunities and trends... not sure how else to build an advantage anymore.

Thanks, passed it on.

I agree with manipulation of market. Some private equities guys always think securities traders and investors are "rolling the dice." It can be a lot safer than private side.

Another thing to add is this stupid stuff like " you day trade?"
Day trading Era has been disappeared around since 2005ish after HTF makes up volume. Different game now. It is more of an position trading now.
Just look at the bid/ask on stock has substentiously shrunk. Compare to 12 years ago.
