Last week, I went against my own analysis and jumped into a trade based on a “tip” from a friend. Needless to say, it didn’t go well. Lesson learned! Do you stick strictly to your own strategy, or are you open to outside tips?

Listen, you learned a great lesson. Expensive, I’m sure, but it’ll stick with you the rest of your life.

Stick to the fundamentals. That’s really all we have. The market can be irrational longer than you can be rational. There’s thousands of factors that might influence a trade at any given time. Stick to the fundamentals and don’t deviate from it. If you have a lot of excess dry powder and you don’t mind losing it, then go for it.

My Uber driver has great tips. Lyft? Not so much.

I don't mind getting tips, but I treat the same as anything else that I might have landed upon by coincidence. Sometimes I'll happen to see a news item, or somehow hear of something, and I'll do some research on it. Same with tips, it's the starting point for some research. If someone says it's a tip I have to act on immediately, that I would disregard in almost all cases.

New to US. Which brokers offer best margin accounts? For e.g. I have equities worth $100K and want to trade options. Is there a broker where I can do so without paying more in collateral money - essentially using stocks as collateral, and also not paying margin interest. Was able to do so in London, Hong Kong, and India. However, Robinhood here doesn’t seem to allow it.
