If you have 20k, personally I’d invest in a dividend stock, JEPU, JEPX, QQQ, QQQI, QQQM, , ET, but of course do a little research, I lost 10k by buying out space X when the IPO dropped, then sold at

Our deepest condolences on your loss. We understand how this process can feel overwhelming, and we're here to help. It looks like you're on the right track and have a good checklist of the paperwork you'll need. That said, there are different forms and requirements for setting up a Power of Attorney (POA) on your account, depending on whether you have a legal POA document or not. To view each form, please select the link below and click on "If you prefer, you can use these forms." [How to establish POA](fidelity.com/customer-service/how-to-manage-your-power-of-attorney) Regarding adding the son as an alternate agent, you can generally add multiple attorneys-in-fact to your account. You will need a new form for every attorney-in-fact you wish to include. Alternatively, you can also establish a successor Power-of-Attorney (POA) to take over in the event you described, but this provision must be stated in a legal POA document. Fidelity will honor POA instructions that are properly established on an account. If you have the legal POA document, fill out the Durable Power of Attorney – Affidavit and Indemnification form, which must be signed by the attorneys-in-fact and notarized. The Durable Power of Attorney form is required if a legal POA document has not been created. This form needs to be signed in the presence of two separate witnesses and a notary public. Please note that the attorneys-in-fact cannot also act in the capacity of a witness. Generally, the team will review the Power of Attorney document, the Durable Power of Attorney Affidavit and Indemnification form, and any documentation required to demonstrate that the POA has become effective. Additionally, a POA may open an account on behalf of another person; however, account opening is typically completed via paper application rather than online. Because every situation is unique, we'll need to review the specific documents to determine any additional requirements. Since the account owner does not currently have Fidelity accounts and the POA is springing, we recommend contacting our Life Events team before submitting paperwork. The Life Events team is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET and can be reached by saying "Life Events" when prompted.

Some of these timings look off, so i would check them before trading them. European stock exchanges close at 11:30 ET right now (5:30 in Frankfurt, until the US clocks change Nov 1), not 10:30, so that window is an hour early. Also 14:00 only matters on days with an actual event like FOMC, and CPI is 8:30 ET so its not a daily thing. Honestly 10 windows is way too many to be meaningful, since some reversal inside any given 15 min will happen basically every day by chance. I would pick 2-3, pull the last 60 days of 1 min bars, and count how often price reverses at least 0.3% inside each window vs a random 15 min window. If its not clearly higher than the random baseline, its just a story lol.

I don't own it. ET as a company should be quite safe even though the preferred has no credit rating. Be careful the face value is only $9.125 (back calculatd using the payout), so you are paying higher than face value so could lose money if called. The current yield is 8.5%, lower than the coupon rate.

Marwynn's October 23 quote was $2.45 at 12:18 p.m. ET. The chart shows that snapshot separately from completed daily candles. My rebound scenario needs a close above $2.40 and subsequent sessions holding that level. With trading activity that accompanies closes holding their gains, that would support another test of $2.70, the October 20 closing price. Through October 22, the previous 20 complete sessions averaged about 309K shares. I'd compare complete-session volume with that baseline, alongside the closing price. A large midday volume figure alone wouldn't confirm the move. Repeated closes below $2.40, or a move beneath the recent roughly $1.85-$1.90 lows, would weaken this rebound scenario. These are historical chart references; the next closes would determine whether the pattern develops.

I checked with our Active Trader teams on this, and I can confirm that it will post to the time and sales as a fill with each individual leg, constituting a fill for a single leg at that price, which could trigger the stop order. If you wanted to reach out to our Active Trader Services team, they'd be happy to discuss this further with you.

🚨 A NYSE options exchange has halted trading, and other exchanges are ignoring its quotes (Bloomberg, 1:15 PM ET). If you have 0DTE orders resting there, they could be stuck or cancelled, so check your fills. It shouldn't move SPY itself. Bloomberg post

Full porting puts at 1:55pm ET on Wed, Oct 28.

Backtest of option selling on SPY and QQQ, split by dealer gamma exposure (GEX). Method and numbers below. **Setup** * SPY and QQQ, January 2022 to October 2026. * 17,100 strategies: 6 structures (short put, short call, strangle, put and call credit spreads, iron condor), 6 deltas (0.10 to 0.40), 4 expiries (0DTE to 1 month), 6 exits, 15 GEX and VRP filters. * Core test: same-day short strangles at 0.10 or 0.25 delta, 0DTE or 1-week expiry, sold at 09:35 ET and bought back at 15:55 ET. * Contracts: nearest to target delta, open interest of at least 250, spread of at most 20%. * Priced from archived bid/ask quotes at four fill levels (mid to full spread), $1 per contract per leg. * Regime: net GEX and gamma flip from the previous session's 15:55 ET snapshot, so no look-ahead. **Where the losses were** Share of trades, dollar losses and worst 5% of trades that fell on negative-GEX days: | ETF | Strangle | Trades | Losses | Worst 5% | p | |:--|:--|--:|--:|--:|--:| | QQQ | 0DTE, 0.10 delta | 54% | 71% | 66% | 0.031 | | QQQ | 0DTE, 0.25 delta | 55% | 68% | 67% | 0.049 | | QQQ | 1 week, 0.10 delta | 59% | 76% | 81% | 0.002 | | QQQ | 1 week, 0.25 delta | 60% | 75% | 77% | 0.013 | | SPY | 0DTE, 0.10 delta | 60% | 74% | 71% | 0.027 | | SPY | 0DTE, 0.25 delta | 63% | 72% | 76% | 0.032 | | SPY | 1 week, 0.10 delta | 62% | 73% | 78% | 0.008 | | SPY | 1 week, 0.25 delta | 63% | 73% | 75% | 0.027 | p is the share of over 1,000 calendars, each the negative-gamma calendar shifted by 63 or more sessions, that caught the losses at least as well. **Selling only on positive-GEX days** Sharpe of monthly P&L and max drawdown at mid fills: | ETF | Strangle | Sharpe, every day | Sharpe, +GEX only | Max DD, every day | Max DD, +GEX only | |:--|:--|--:|--:|--:|--:| | QQQ | 0DTE, 0.25 delta | +0.35 | +1.38 | -$6,402 | -$2,856 | | QQQ | 0DTE, 0.10 delta | +0.04 | +1.06 | -$4,122 | -$1,535 | | QQQ | 1 week, 0.25 delta | -0.25 | +1.14 | -$5,687 | -$845 | | QQQ | 1 week, 0.10 delta | -0.40 | +1.02 | -$3,712 | -$445 | | SPY | 0DTE, 0.25 delta | +0.26 | +0.54 | -$5,907 | -$2,276 | | SPY | 0DTE, 0.10 delta | +0.20 | +0.66 | -$3,052 | -$1,377 | | SPY | 1 week, 0.25 delta | -0.33 | +0.25 | -$4,724 | -$1,218 | | SPY | 1 week, 0.10 delta | -0.55 | +0.18 | -$3,725 | -$690 | **Fills** At full bid/ask, selling every day lost money in every setup. The filter stayed ahead at every fill level, but at full spread all four filtered SPY setups and two of the four filtered QQQ setups also lost money. QQQ 0DTE at 0.25 delta held +0.72 filtered against -0.47 every day. **Across all 17,100 strategies** * Strongest same-day rule: positive GEX with price above the gamma flip, using the flip only on days it passed coverage, quote-quality and stability checks. It beat random calendars on both ETFs (p = 0.005 SPY, 0.006 QQQ). * Plain positive GEX passed on QQQ but not on SPY (p = 0.21). * Negative GEX and high VRP as filters on their own did no better than random. * Taking profit at 50% of credit cut max drawdown in 179 of 180 held-to-expiry designs (median 28%). * Highest Sharpe overall: 0.10-delta 1-month SPY put sold every day, held to expiry. Sharpe +4.08, 97% winners, and a $57,739 drawdown while positions were open. GEX filters lowered its Sharpe.

What do you think about ET.PRI. this one never going to get called out and yields 7.7%.

I disagree that there is more evidence one way or the other. I perceived his ET meme video, and his Seymour the dog meme video, that he’d not be participating on social media for the foreseeable future. Following or unfollowing an account isn’t enough evidence for me, but of course this will remain an ongoing debate for all of us

**Profile:** By "30m or 1h profile", do you mean the current session's profile viewed on a 30m/1h chart, or a composite over several days (how many)? How do you define an LVN numerically, for example volume below X% of the neighboring rows? **Other levels:** Besides LVN and prior HVN, which other levels does the script accept? Prior day high/low, overnight high/low, VAH/VAL, POC? **"The zone":** Does "close back inside the zone" mean back inside the 2SD band, or back on the other side of the level? **Timing of the closes:** Do the 1m, 5m and 30m closes have to line up on the same bar (a 30m close), or is it enough that each has closed back inside since the extreme? Is there a maximum wait before you drop the setup? **Delta divergence:** Which prior extreme do you compare against: the previous swing in the session, or a fixed lookback? Do you compare the CVD close or its intrabar low/high? And when does CVD reset: RTH open or Globex open? **Session:** Is the VWAP anchored at the 9:30 ET RTH open or at the 18:00 ET Globex open? Do you trade only RTH? **Thin sessions:** Is this detected automatically (how?) or from a list of holiday and half-day dates? **Invalidation:** If price takes out the wick before the closes confirm, is the setup cancelled, or does it re-arm on the new extreme if delta still diverges? **Management:** How many ticks beyond the wick is the stop? How do you split size between TP1 and TP2, and do you move to breakeven after TP1? **Chart:** What chart timeframe do you run it on? On a 1m chart, 1m intrabars are just the bar itself, so do you use seconds intrabars?

Peace deal announcement 9:29am ET

Thanks, and yes, I agree with your additions. The 007 readout spooked the market because Wave was being hyped as a “weight loss” company and they remain spooked because they got burned. But calling Wave a weight loss company is reductive and uninformed. I’d call them a differentiated, multimodal RNA platform with human proof of biological activity, the potential to generate multiple medicines from the same underlying technology, and the opportunity for many shots on goal with specific programs. Q3 earnings are on Tue 10/27 premarket. Virtual Research Day is on Wed 11/4 at 9:30 ET. Per Wave’s PR: *During the event, Wave will share new data highlighting its differentiated RNA medicines platform, including its best-in-class chemistry, hepatic and extra-hepatic capabilities, and RNAi, RNA editing, and bifunctional modalities. The event will also feature perspectives on PNPLA3 I148M liver disease and the opportunity for an RNA editing correction approach from Arun J. Sanyal, MD, FAASLD, a leading hepatologist. Dr. Sanyal is a Z Reno Vlahcevic Professor of Medicine and Director of the Stravitz-Sanyal Institute for Liver Disease and Metabolic Health at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine.*

Here is everything on the record about GameStop, Collectors and eBay, and here is what I think is happening. Facts are sourced below. My read is labeled. \*\*TLDR\*\* \- GameStop has an uncapped shelf naming "potential acquisitions," 2.5B authorized shares that its own press release tied to "its proposed acquisition of eBay, Inc.," a 9.8% eBay stake bought with cash, and HSR clearance from June 3, 2026. \- The 13D on eBay already covers talks with "third parties" about "board composition." Item 6 still says no joint venture. \- Collectors, PSA's parent, has hired for SEC reporting, purchase accounting, JV accounting and "public-company-ready" controls since April. \- My read: a GameStop and Collectors partner path for eBay. No partner is named in any filing yet. \*\*ELI5\*\* GameStop tried to buy eBay. eBay said no. GameStop kept buying eBay stock with cash, got shareholders to approve 1.5B more shares, and said in its own release that they were for deals like eBay. In August, Bloomberg's sources said GameStop might partner instead. Meanwhile PSA's parent kept hiring the people a company needs to report publicly and absorb acquisitions. None of this is a signed deal. \*\*Tags:\*\* T1 = SEC, issuer or state agency. Owner-observed = postings I saw and recorded in May 2026. T2 = press or job-site aggregators. INF = my inference. \[IMG 1: img1-breadcrumb-timeline.png\] Alt text: Dark timeline titled The breadcrumbs, in order, with dots colored by evidence tier (green T1 filings, gold Owner-observed, blue T2 press or job sites, purple inference, red upcoming).

The shelf came first (T1) \- Oct 3, 2025: automatic S-3ASR, no dollar cap. Covers common, preferred, debt, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and rights. \[1\] \- Proceeds: "general corporate purposes, including making investments in a manner consistent with our investment policy and potential acquisitions." \[1\] \- The strongest language came later. The Sep 9, 2026 10-Q: "our strategy is now explicitly focused on leveraging our cash, flexible capital structure, and stock to acquire assets." \[2\] \- Limit: the shelf is for capital raises. Merger shares would be registered on an S-4. \### 2. The share vote named eBay (T1) \- Jul 7, 2026: authorized Class A shares 1.0B to 2.5B. 231,693,497 for, 104,566,841 against, 980,270 abstain. \[3\] \- Press release: the increase "provides the Company with the capacity to issue common stock in connection with strategic transactions, including its proposed acquisition of eBay, Inc." \[3\] \- Proxy purpose: "the structural capacity to execute transformational acquisitions, large-scale investments, or other avenues of value creation." \[4\] \### 3. The stake grew after the no (T1) \- May 3: $125 a share, about $55.5B, half cash and half stock. Financing from the balance sheet "and third-party equity and debt financing." \[5\] \- May 12: eBay called it "neither credible nor attractive." \[6\] \- Jul 17: 43,390,383 eBay shares, 9.8%. Source of funds: "cash from its working capital." "No portion of the purchase price ... was borrowed." \[7\] \- Cost: about $4.44B all-in (sum of the 13D purchase disclosures) for those shares. \[7\] \[8\] \[9\] \[10\] \- About 5% before the bid, per Bloomberg (T2). \[11\] \### 4. The 13D door (T1) \- Item 4: discussions with "other stockholders of the Issuer or third parties" about "governance, board composition ... strategic plans," including control. \[10\] \- Item 6: no arrangements "including ... joint ventures." \[7\] \### 5. HSR already ran once (T1) \- "The HSR Act Condition was satisfied on June 3, 2026." \[2\] That covers GameStop alone. A new partner would likely need its own filing. \### 6. Cohen's own words (T1) \- May 6 (Form 425): "there's a partnership option ... they didn't engage." Same interview: "The goal is I want to own eBay." \[12\] \- Jul 20 (Form 425): "We're keeping all our options on the table." \[13\] \- 10-K: the Investment Committee is delegated "to review potential acquisition and control opportunities." \[14\] \### 7. The August report (T2, unnamed sources) \- Bloomberg's sources: GameStop "looking at a partnership or joint venture instead"; "As part of any such arrangement, GameStop would seek board representation at eBay"; "no final decision." The stated concern was the "level of debt GameStop might need to take on." \[11\] \- The option Bloomberg described is GameStop and eBay working together in collectibles. A three-way structure is my read (see below). \### 7a. Words matter (T2, press relaying unnamed Bloomberg sources; the screenshots show no outlet or date) \- "looking at a partnership or joint venture instead, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources." \- "one option being examined"; "no final decision has been made and that Cohen could still consider other options." \- "As part of any such arrangement, GameStop would seek board representation at eBay." \- mb exited over the "level of debt GameStop might need to take on to fund the acquisition." \- 9.75% "As of 15 July," "second-largest shareholder after funds managed by Vanguard Group." The 13D says 9.8% (T1). \- The hedging is deliberate. "One option" implies others. Board representation matches the 13D Item 4 "board composition" (T1). My read (INF): a partner answers the debt worry. Alt text: Screenshot of a news article paragraph. Text: GameStop is considering dropping its $55.5bn takeover approach for eBay and looking at a partnership or joint venture instead, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources. The highlighted part runs from looking at a partnership to citing unnamed sources. No outlet name or date is visible. Alt text: Screenshot of a news article paragraph. Highlighted: As part of any such arrangement, GameStop would seek board representation at eBay. It continues: the sources said, reflecting its position as one of eBay's largest shareholders. No outlet name or date is visible. \- April (T2 copy): Director, SEC Reporting & Technical Accounting. 10-K, 10-Q and proxy experience "required"; "Support SOX-readiness initiatives"; purchase price allocation for "acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions"; "joint ventures, partnerships." Removed Apr 14. \[15\] \- May (Owner-observed): SEC Reporting & Regulatory Compliance Accountant; Specialty Lending Account Executive; Corporate Finance & Strategy roles; SOX and intercompany eliminations accountants; AI-driven accounting automation engineers. \[16\] Specialty Lending since matched to JR104100, $110K to $160K (T2). \[17\] \- Live now (T1): Head of Treasury JR105298 ("public-company-ready control framework," "Board and equity sponsor," "active M&A history and joint venture partnerships"); Global Consolidations JR106634 ("newly acquired entities"); Corporate Communications JR106771 ("public-company or late-stage environments strongly preferred"). \[18\] \### 9. GameStop treasury (T2) \- Head of Global Treasury, Req-180612: "Reviews investment opportunities and advises on opportunities in line with Investment Policy"; "Liaises with SEC Reporting on footnotes and disclosures." Per job-site records, first posted around Oct 31, 2025; Apr 20, 2026 is likely a repost. \[19\] \### 10. eBay is getting leaner (T1) \- Oct 22 8-K: 9% workforce cut, $130M to $150M in charges. \[20\] \- WARN notice (T1 state filing, seen via a T2 copy): 229 employees at 2025 Hamilton Ave, San Jose, starting Oct 21, 2026. "This action is expected to be permanent. No affected employee has any bumping rights. Employees are not represented by a union." 26 directors (27 incl. a Distinguished MTS Architect), 48 manager titles. \[21\] My grouping of titles: engineering 74, product 52, design 28 (INF). Those categories are open at GameStop and PSA too. It also fits ordinary competition for talent. Alt text: Copy of eBay's WARN Act notice and Exhibit 1, watermarked ValueAddedResource.net. The letter says eBay Inc. will conduct a mass layoff at its San Jose campus at 2025 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA 95125. A total of 229 employees at the facility will be separated, with layoffs scheduled to begin October 21, 2026.

Not a filed structure. No partner is named in any filing as of Oct 23, 2026. A green box, GameStop on file: uncapped S-3ASR shelf from Oct 3, 2025; 2.5B authorized Class A tied to eBay; eBay stake of 43,390,383 shares, 9.8%, cash; HSR condition satisfied Jun 3, 2026; Investment Committee reviews acquisition and control opportunities; stores for intake. A gold box, Collectors and PSA, sponsor-backed: PSA grading, PSA Vault is eBay's vault; Card Ladder pricing; an SEC reporting director hire in April; Head of Treasury wording public-company-ready and joint venture partnerships; Consolidations wording newly acquired entities; May titles seen and recorded by the owner. Both arrows point to a purple middle box, Consortium or sequenced deal: GameStop with Collectors as partner; partner equity cuts the debt load; partner cuts the majority-ownership hurdle; board representation is part of any such arrangement, per Bloomberg. Arrows lead to a blue eBay box (marketplace and liquidity, Q3 results Oct 28 at 5:30 PM ET, 9% cut, WARN 229 in San Jose) and a purple box, Later split (inference): a collectibles stack under one roof covering intake through stores, PSA grading and vault, Card Ladder pricing and the eBay collectibles marketplace, with the general marketplace standing apart, sequenced to simplify antitrust review. Caption: on file, 13D Item 4 covers talks with third parties and board composition; Item 6 says no arrangements including joint ventures. \- A partner path, most likely GameStop with Collectors (sponsor-backed) as a consortium or a sequenced deal to take eBay. \- Later, a split that puts the collectibles stack together: intake through stores, PSA grading and vault, Card Ladder pricing, the eBay marketplace. Sequenced to simplify antitrust review, not to avoid it. \- A partner cuts the debt and the majority-ownership hurdle. Board representation is part of "any such arrangement." \- Timing: eBay reports Oct 28 at 5:30 PM ET, after the close. GME WS last trades Oct 29; warrants expire Oct 30 at 5 PM ET. \[22\] \[23\] That convergence is a possibility I am inferring, not a prediction. eBay is not a GME warrant holder. Alt text: Dark six-day calendar titled Catalyst calendar: Oct 28 to Nov 2, 2026. Subtitle: dates are T1; any tie between these dates and a deal is what I think, not evidence; all times ET. Wednesday Oct 28: eBay Q3 2026 results and call at 5:30 PM ET, after the close. Thursday Oct 29: first session to trade anything said on the call; last NYSE session for GME WS. Friday Oct 30: GME WS stop trading before the open; warrant expiry at 5:00 PM ET, 32 dollar strike. Saturday Oct 31 and Sunday Nov 1 are blank. Monday Nov 2: guaranteed-delivery deadline at 5:00 PM ET; final exercise count follows. Bottom line: watch on the Oct 28 call for a strategic review, shareholder engagement, collectibles as its own segment, and any mention of GameStop or PSA. Sources: eBay IR event page and GameStop 8-K of Oct 19, 2026, accession 0001326380-26-000064. \### What would confirm it \- An S-4 \- A 13D amendment naming partners or changing Item 6 \- A JV or cooperation 8-K \- A Collectors S-1 (a confidential draft can stay invisible until it is filed publicly at least 15 days before the road show) \[24\] \- A new HSR filing \### Data limits \- The JV talk rests on unnamed Bloomberg sources. \- Job posts show capacity, not deals. No live Collectors title says Investor Relations or IPO. \- Authorized shares are not registered shares. A merger issuance would need an S-4. \- The Delaware filing date for the share amendment is not public (effective between Jul 7 and Aug 1, 2026). \- No new GameStop, eBay or Collectors filings as of Oct 23, 2026, about 4:48 AM ET. \[25\] \### Closing perspective GameStop built the capital, the authority and the paperwork. Collectors built the reporting, integration and JV plumbing. The stake kept growing. The public story moved from buy to partner. That is the trail. It is not a signed deal. \*\*TLDR:\*\* capital built, door open in the 13D, back office built at Collectors, chair still empty. My read is a partner path. Watch EDGAR for an S-4, a 13D/A, an 8-K or an S-1. \--- \*\*Sources\*\* (SEC accession numbers where available; everything is on EDGAR or the issuer's site) 1.
