ET money is not in demat. I opened started mutual fund investments when I did not have demat.

ET Money vs Coin

Like the others on here I agree with dollar cost averaging as a way to start. I also think dividends are a good place to stick some money and if your really that nervous look at short term bonds 2 years and under and ladder in. For dividends take a look at ET, MPLX, JEPQ, JEPI, BXSL along with a myriad of others. Don't concentrate on any one investment and don't buy more than you can keep track of either. You can also look at some of the brokerage banks mines paying 3.75 right now and will increase with the fed.

The point you are making is real and it has a name, it is pin risk plus the after close exercise window, not a discipline failure. On physically settled American equity and ETF options the holder can submit exercise or do not exercise instructions until about 5:30 ET, well after the 4:00 print, so a strike that looks safely OTM at the close can still be exercised against you on a late move. That extra look is a genuine asymmetry.
But the fix you asked for already exists and you talked yourself out of it. Cash settled European style index options remove this entirely because there is nothing to assign. SPX, XSP and NDX settle to a single number and cannot be exercised early or after the close. You dismissed XSP as not liquid enough, but XSP trades tight penny wide markets in the front expiries now, and SPX itself is the deepest options market in the world. If capital is the worry, XSP is one tenth of SPX notional and solves both problems at once.
Last thing on the 0.10 close cost. Paying a dime to flatten a pinned short strike is not giving away 10 percent of your profit, it is buying out of an unbounded tail for a known price. The whole reason the buyer has an edge in your scenario is that you chose to keep an open ended risk to save a dime. Close it and the edge disappears.

FRT, O, ARCC, GAIN, ET, KRP, QQQ, SCHD, JEPI, JEPQ all round out my main income sleeve...ET is tax advantaged. I have about 50% of my $467k brokerage spread over these holdings for a blended yield of about 7%. Income is roughly $16k and all set to DRIP for now.

I appreciate these details. They were very helpful.
For code 013009, this is present as an explanation on how CD orders execute. The order, when placed, is in an open status and can be changed or canceled at any time while this is the case. The order remains open until all of that CD's inventory is sold or until settlement day, whichever comes first. You can always check the available inventory under the Quantity Available column on Fidelity.com's Fixed Income dashboard.
Code 000913 provides information on how CDs are insured. The notice specifically calls out FDIC insurance, which is a US government agency that generally covers up to $250,000 per account. You can read more about these coverages below:

For the information about suitability, it's important to note that every account and person is different. Since everyone has different goals, risk tolerances, and timeframes for investing, to name a few, the system may display a suitability notice in the order preview. This may happen when a tax-advantaged position is being bought in an already tax-advantaged account. This warning may have to do with the type of fixed income product you're attempting to buy, and we strongly encourage you to chat with our Fixed Income team over the phone through the number below. They're available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. Just say "fixed income" when prompted to be routed appropriately.

I hold shares of EPD. They issue a K-1. I filed my taxes on time with the intention of file an amended return when I finally got the K-1. Turns out, the K-1 had zero effect on my already filed taxes. No additional income, no additional deductions. I didn't even bother with the amended return. For a retail investor I don't think the K-1 is that big a deal. YMMV with ET as my experience is with EPD. One thing to know is that some of the various tax softwares do not support a K-1 for an MLP. Turbotax does. I started with FreeTaxUSA and hit a wall with the K-1. Had I know what I know now with regard the K-1, I would stuck with FreeTaxUSA since the K-1 really didn't matter.

ET, MPLX,EPD because of the preferential tax treatment and preservation of capital

GameStop warrants expire at 5:00 p.m. ET on October 30, 2026, with 33 days remaining. Warrants closed at $2.33 and GME shares at $23.39. The $32 strike is $8.61 out of the money.
GameStop will also issue at least one public press release providing a reminder of the expiration date, between 10 and 30 days prior to the scheduled expiration date.

I've been doing this for at least 6 years without having to pay any ubit ever. ET.PRI distribution is 100% ubit, I collect $900 in each of four different accounts.

One of the final memes, the zenmaster 'we'll see' segment, mentions the boy gets a horse, and has an accident **two years later** (mini sneeze 2024 ->2026?). That meme is followed by the ET go home meme. Pure conjecture/confirmation bias ofcourse.

Thanks for that clarification.
I will go ahead and pass this along to our tech teams for review. In the meantime, we recommend trying some troubleshooting steps to see if they resolve the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall the app
2. Ensure your operating system is up to date

Associates are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET. Please say "technical support" when prompted by the automated system to be connected to the right group.

I would examine the investment to make sure it's fully sound and still follows the same strategy that made you invest with them in the first place. I hold a lot of ET and EPD... they're subject to the ups and downs of the oil market so they've been largely killing it this year but have seen a good drop this week with tensions easing. As a long term investor, I know the companies are still moving molecules and have long term contracts that take inflation in to account so, overall profitably, along with my quarterly distributions, are pretty safe. If there's a drop in the price, that just means I'm getting more shares when the distribution automatically reinvests and I'm comfortable with that because I know the company is making a conformable profit when compared to distributions and the overall investment is sound.
Then, in contrast to that, one of my earliest dividend investments was HRZN... I was attracted to the high dividend but, over time, I became concerned with the quality of companies they were lending to and their lack of consistency quarter over quarter. I eventually sold for a loss because I lost faith in the management and was disappointed in their overall transparency. Very happy that I did because it has dropped drastically since then and I've been able to recoup plus grow my money.
To conclude, I would say if "the bones are good" stay... If everything is shaky, cut your losses and if you don't have time to research and understand the company, VOO is always a great place to set and forget until you have time to do that.

Thanks for asking.

Looks like everyone has given you good advice. I am retired and own ET/PRI. preferred shares. 7% perpetual. I have never liked K-1 forms as even with turbo tax sometimes it is a pain. However I also bought WES which also has K1. Dividends around 9% when i bought. The good dividend rate and history are important and worth the headache IMO

Do NOT hold them in an IRA without understanding how MLPs work!
MLPs (which are what MPLX and ET are) have their own tax rules when held in tax advantaged accounts such as IRAs. And your IRA can be assessed what is called an Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) which can be substantial. This is because the IRS treats MLPs as operating businesses rather than passive investments, which bypasses the standard IRA tax exemption.
Also, MLPs are so tax advantaged already, that it would sort of be a waste to put them into An IRA anyway.
The K-1 isn't all that bad once you learn how to put it in. I used TurboTax this year, and it probably took me an extra 5 minutes for the K-1s

they are not too hard to fill out. I use turbo tax desktop home and business. Done in a day or so.
As for the state returns, I have a low five figure dollar amount in ET. I only fill it out for the state I live in. I have never seen more than $10 allocated to one state. That state can contact me, it will cost them more than they will get.

I have purchased ET and MPLX without doing research purely based on dividend yield purchase. I didn’t knew about what K-1
I have just realized the ET and MPLX uses K-1 form.
I have brought ET several times.
K-1 seems to have complications with late filing in April or May and multiple state filing.
How bad is this K-1 filing if I have purchased ET over several dates. Do I have to enter all buy and sell orders manually?
I feel messed up
