going chronologically in RK’s meme timeline, there’s this scene about a young master.
Young master gets a horse on his 14th bday and the village says “wonderful he got a horse” and young master says “we’ll see”
2 years later the young master falls off the horse and breaks his leg, village says “how terrible” and young master says “we’ll see”
Then a war breaks out and all the young men have to go fight in it except the young master because of his leg and everyone in the village says “how wonderful” and the young master says “we’ll see”
Wonder if there’s any correlation to this and RC’s 3 interviews with CNBC, Payne and TPMC or whatever..
Also to note this is the second to last meme video in the set, with the final one being ET going home..

Using point-to-point CAGRs and rolling return consistency as tests, the data broadly confirms that most active small-cap funds do NOT reliably beat Nifty Midcap 150 TRI — especially over 7–10 year horizons. But a small cluster of funds does, consistently.
# Why Nifty Midcap 150 TRI as the benchmark?
Nifty Midcap 150 TRI is a structurally demanding yardstick: it has delivered **\~23.9% (3Y), \~24.0% (5Y), \~20.6% (7Y), and \~18.3% (10Y) CAGR** (Mirae Asset ETF presentation, late 2025). Its 10-year average rolling return is \~17.3% vs \~15.1% for Nifty Smallcap 250 TRI (Equirus/ET study). So a small-cap fund must first overcome the inherent index-level gap before even accounting for fees and execution costs.
# Point-to-Point: 3/5/7/10Y
|Horizon|Nifty Midcap 150 TRI|Typical Small-Cap Fund (category avg)|
|:-|:-|:-|
|3Y|\~23.9%|Mid-20s (few match, most trail)|
|5Y|\~24.0%|High-teens to low-20s|
|7Y|\~20.6%|Mid-to-high teens|
|10Y|\~18.3%|Mid-teens (majority trail)|
SPIVA India (2025 YE): \~79% of mid/small-cap active funds underperformed their benchmark over 10 years. Over 5 years: \~41–46% underperformed even their own small-cap benchmark — let alone a tougher midcap index.

Rolling Return Consistency (Freefincal study, Jan 2013–Sep 2025)
Funds needing **≥70% outperformance frequency** vs Nifty Midcap 150 TRI:
|Rolling Window|Funds Qualifying / Total|
|:-|:-|
|3Y|7 / 23 (\~30%)|
|4Y|11 / 23 (\~48%)|
|5Y|11 / 21 (\~52%)|
|3+4+5Y combined|**7 / 21 (\~33%)**|
**Only 1-in-3 small-cap funds beat Nifty Midcap 150 TRI with high consistency across all 3–5 year rolling windows.**

Outliers (funds that do beat it)
A 10-year SIP study (₹5,000/month, mid-2015 to mid-2025) showed Nifty Midcap 150 TRI delivered \~21.2% SIP XIRR — roughly mid-pack. Several active small-cap schemes exceeded this:
* **Quant Small Cap, Nippon India Small Cap, SBI Small Cap, HDFC Small Cap** — SIP XIRRs in the 21–27% range over the same period.
Common traits of outperformers: restrained AUM, high active share, better downside protection in crash years.
**Practical takeaway:** Nifty Midcap 150 index fund as core, selective small-cap allocation only to funds with demonstrated rolling-return consistency vs this benchmark — not just vs their small-cap category benchmark.

You’ll wish you had oil calls and SPY puts at 6PM ET today

ET

My guy you’re placing money on something you don’t even know what the hours are.
The U.S. stock market (NYSE and NASDAQ) regular trading hours are Monday–Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). The market is closed on weekends and federal holidays, with pre-market trading beginning as early as 4:00 a.m. ET and after-hours trading lasting until 8:00 p.m. E

It looks as if you issued orders at saturday. At weekend there is no trading at NYSE, only at some OTC and there you need trade permissions first. And your oders are there where the ticks went, but possibly not the deals. At the tick you see how the bid/asks are always that one magic tick away from each other before a deal is concluded, and I doubt that 140.0 would be filled but 140.10 or 140.20, so why waste the comission on a single stock order?
Outside of the trading hours you will get a message "the order wasnt placed yet, we will place the order at.... am". Depends whether you select the "overnight" option or not. And "overnight" is 4 am till 10 pm ET at NYSE, NASDAQ and DirectEdge, not round the clock.
Round the clock is planned for NASDAQ, and you can try your luck in Japan, wich would be the first marketplace to open after a weekend.

Spent the weekend going through 100 saved screen recordings of my own trades. NQ futures, mostly from 9:30am ET till like 12ish
Here's the 5 patterns that became visible only on tape:
1. I scale out way too early. Every. Single. Time.
2. After a stop, I revenge-trade within 4 minutes \~32% of the time.
3. My best entries are between 10:13 and 11:00 ET. Outside that window my win rate drops by like 27%
4. I move my stop too soon when the trade goes 50% to target.
5. I'm worse after lunch, by a lot. Roughly 60% W/L pre-lunch, 41% post.
None of these patterns showed up in my paragraph-style trade journal. Only on tape.
Curious: anyone else doing video review instead of written? What's your workflow?

Though I shan't hit you with Cupid's arrow, know that we love having you in the sub. Hope to catch you around here soon!

Been a while, u/Conscious_Spot_9284! I'm glad to have you back on the sub. Let's talk dividends for Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
Generally speaking, if you're looking to check dividend information for shares that have been distributed for brokerage accounts, you'll find the steps below if using Fidelity.com:
1. Type the symbol for the stock you wish to view in the search bar on the top right of the page
2. Click "Dividends & Earnings"
3. If the company pays dividends, the information will display here
Now, to go a little more in-depth on RSUs specifically, it's important to mention that participants may receive dividends like any other record shareholder, and some plans pay a dividend equivalent. That said, most companies pay cash when dividends are distributed to all public shareholders.
If you'd like to learn more about how your company handles dividends, we suggest contacting our Stock Plan Services team. Their associates are available continuously from Sunday at 5:00 p.m. to Friday at midnight ET, and can be contacted through the link below:
[Contact Us](https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/contact-us)
We're here to help if any other questions come up. Have a nice weekend, and come back again anytime!

Hi there, u/eagerlylearn.
I’d like to learn a little more about your account. When you view “Activity & Orders” for your account, do you see the activity for the check deposit? You mentioned that your balance is zero; however, if you click on the “Balances” tab for that account, do you see any funds on the “Available to Trade” line?
I appreciate you letting us know that the Fixed Income teams hours don’t work for your situation. I’d like to mention here that they’re open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. With that said, I’d be glad to submit feedback to the appropriate team for further review.
We look forward to hearing back from you when you have a moment.

Welcome to the sub, u/Frosty-Conclusion938. We are happy to help here and lead you in the right direction.
Jumping right in, 401(k) company stock can differ from a brokerage account's stock. 401(k)s commonly have unitized stock funds, like Honeywell's, which means the price shown is a combination of actual stock and cash. That said, it doesn't appear as a real-time traded stock fund, but if you were to exercise Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) options on a unitized stock fund, it can still be handled with NUA treatment. The "units," which are a stock-and-cash combination, are converted to shares upon processing if held in-kind.
If you are still unsure of next steps, we recommend reaching back out to our Workplace Investing team directly. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to midnight ET at the information below if you'd like to speak to them. When you call and are prompted, please tell the automated system "401(k)" to be routed to the right team.

I just rotated out of about half my portfolio, took profits and went to 30% cash while picking up some new bargains and added to other existing positions.
My thesis is: diversity within the commodity market. Buy asset heavy, well financed or turn around stories that trade cheaply to their asset value. I look for companies who pay stable dividends to offset any cyclicality’s and volatility’s. I’m trying to own companies who are both foreign and domestic.
Oil/Oil services/Natural Gas: cyclical
Lots of these are underinvested, low price to book, printing cash and paying a healthy dividend. Oil is not going down any time soon. Even if the straight opens, lots of infrastructure that takes years to online has been destroyed. Most of these pay me to own them.
Weighted heavy to least.
PBR, IEP, DVN, EPD, ET, PR, BIREF, RIG, FANG
Iron Ore/Nickel: cyclical
I’m bullish Brazil. I’m also bullish Nickel. I’m also bullish shipping
VALE is a very interesting company. They not only operate mines. They operate ports, railways, trucking terminals and even produce electricity in emerging markets. Plus their dividend is fantastic.
Gold: speculative
Found a producer who’s permitting a new mine with really strong drill results and private placement funding to execute without dilution and on a year that will have a late summer/fall before winter stops progress. Assets in the ground give a potential for multiples upon multiples.
BYAGF.
Graphite: speculative
US graphite mining company that was destined for bankruptcy that Sprott came in and bailed out with a cash injection for dilution. They’re trying to move into battery recycling and production which should help offset the cyclicality of the commodity market. Still trading way below their asset value.
NGPHF
Maritime Shipping Oil/LNG: cyclical
Premiums are high. Demand is super high. New ships are not being built fast enough. Old ships were scrapped heavily in anticipation for new regulations while demand was low. Now the industry is printing money hand over fist.
TRMD, STNG, SBLK, PSHG, NAT, FLNG,
Some other honorable mentions.
ULH: picked them up recently after the falling knife. Will continue to buy if it falls further. Their assets in the form of railway terminals and trucking terminals are the most attractive assets they have. Plus their involvement in Columbia is attractive to me. They could go bankrupt and the asset value would still be higher than the share price, after paying debt obligations. Plus they still pay a dividend.
POWW: Great business at a cheap price. They have tons of cash, almost no debt, big profit margin, almost a monopoly in their industry. And they trade at their book value.
DETX, REKR: both are my theses that more AI products will be utilized in Law Enforcement. Both are positioned well to profit from the adoption of their technologies. Neither is profitable and both are speculative.

What would ET do?

The 2 hours of sleep route is a fast track to blown accounts — sleep deprivation and good trading decisions are genuinely incompatible, and prop firms will find that out through your drawdown before you do.
The good news is the schedule problem is solvable, but it requires being honest about which style of trading actually fits your life right now rather than forcing the one you originally imagined.
A few things worth considering:
If you're set on prop firms specifically, most of them don't actually require you to trade the open. The 9:30-10:30 window gets all the attention because it's volatile and moves fast, but a lot of consistent prop traders work the late morning session — roughly 11am to 1pm ET — when things settle into cleaner structure and there's less noise. Depending on your timezone that window might land at a far more reasonable time. What timezone are you actually in? That changes the answer significantly.
The bigger question is whether swing trading or a longer timeframe might serve you better right now. Prop firms are increasingly offering swing trading evaluations, not just intraday. If you're working full time, spending evenings studying charts, setting alerts, and placing trades that play out over days rather than minutes removes the timezone problem almost entirely. You do your analysis when you have time, set your levels, and manage the position without needing to be glued to a screen at market open.
The trap a lot of beginners fall into is assuming prop trading means scalping or day trading. It doesn't have to. Matching your trading style to your actual life circumstances isn't a compromise — it's risk management.
What's your timezone and what kind of prop firm evaluation are you looking at? That'll help narrow down what's actually realistic for your situation.

Hey everyone, I’m planning on buying Cerebras (CBRS) when it IPOs this Thursday (May 14th). I’m a retail investor using Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
Given that the IPO is reportedly 20x oversubscribed and the price range was just bumped to $125–$135, I know I won’t get the institutional price. I’m trying to figure out the best execution strategy to avoid getting "bagged" by the Day 1 hype.
My current thoughts:
1. **Wait for the afternoon dip:** I've heard most IPOs peak at the 11 AM public open and cool off around 2 PM ET once the initial flippers exit.
2. **The "Day 2" Strategy:** Is it statistically better to just wait for Friday morning to see if there’s a sell-off after the first-day excitement?
3. **Limit Orders:** Since I'm on IBKR, I plan on avoiding market orders to stay safe from the spread.
For those who have traded hyped AI IPOs recently (like ARM or others), what was your best entry point? Did you buy the opening candle, or wait a few days for the volatility to settle?

Cut your weeds, not your flowers!
And don’t fomo chase every stock that makes some news - you need to do your own research. Consider the fundamentals of where the company is, where it’s heading, whether YOU think it’s undervalued, and what might go wrong. If you don’t understand those things, how can you make a good decision? If you sell because “number went up some,” where is the money going next that’s better?
I’m going to give you one to look up. After decades of investing, DRTS is the most obvious play I’ve seen since AAPL had already introduced the iPhone but was still trading at only 10 P/E (in the teens split adjusted vs. heading for $300 in 2026).
DRTS manufactures a unique, low-dose, but incredibly potent radiation source that is injected directly into a solid cancer tumor using biopsy equipment. It has to be injected to work because it has a tiny range - it can be blocked by a sheet of paper. This tiny range is awesome because 1) it means the treatment can be sent safely in regular mail 2) the procedure can be done in an office setting - it doesn’t require any heavy lead shielding, and 3) most importantly - the radiation doesn’t damage the tissue outside the tumor, leaving the patient’s healthy tissue and immune system intact.
It works on all types of solid tumors. They have an almost unbelievable number of trials going on all over the world in a wide range of cancer types to prove this out. They have already received marketing approval in Japan a couple of months ago, so the transition to revenue has begun, and they are on track for FDA submission later this year.
Still with all of the readily available evidence, DRTS is somehow currently valued by the market under $1B. When I look at what they have, and their addressable market I think it can eventually grow to be worth many 10s or even 100s of billions if you give it many years. Because the valuation is so low now and revenue is coming shortly I think it’s hard to lose much from here - even if the rosiest forecasts don’t pan out I think it’s still worth multiples of what it trades for. Since it’s a device, not a drug, it’s more symbiotic than competitive with pharmaceutical treatments.
Monday 5/11 8:30am ET they have a pre-market conference call to share early results of the first 3 patients in their GBM brain cancer trial.
It’s a good time to kick the tires.
