 "*...and it's looking like the market is recovering this week...*"
I wouldn't be too sure of that. I expect the market to be all over the place until the war is over and the strait is fully reopened. There is no way for you to time that. It's really completely out of your control.
It's good life skill to learn how to accept the things you cannot change with equinimity. Consider this a practice opportunity.
As to what you should invest in, I've come to believe TD funds are best for me.

SOL/USDT TD Sequential Bearish 9 just completed on the 15M chart right at session lows after an overnight decline

The 75k volume candle on BCH at the $484 high said it all TD Sequential Bullish 9 completed at session lows hours later

I know you probably won't see this post or have time to respond but I really hope you do. I lost my job of 31 years back in 2019. I started watching videos on TD ameritrade and reading everything I could to be a day trader. My 1st trade I made $400 in about 5 minutes only because the stock just kept going up after the opening bell. Everyone says that you need a strategy but no one shares how you come up with a strategy. I've watched lots of videos on the internet but most of them try to explain what to watch when watching candlesticks, but there isn't any guarantee which way the stock will go on the next move. I have made some good trades like $2,000 in a 15 second scalp but I have lost $10,000 in a 2 second scalp because my emotions were driving me to try and make back the $500 that I had lost earlier that day. TD Ameritrade teaches investing. Long term trades. I have not been able to find any real traning on how to day trade like everything you talk about above, Strategy, back testing, how to not let your emotions get in the way, but it kills me to sit and watch the trade lose money. I know there are a million gurus online and you tube for a good chunk of money but from the reviews that I have read, most of them are just teaching you how to invest but none teach you how to start from scratch to teach how, what, why and how come you do this or that and what you are looking for. The sad thing is There are a lot of people out there that would pay good money for real training. Thank you for your post. I would love to know how to come up with a strategy

Where are you going to use your money?
Kung para lang kumita sa forex, I don't think it is worth it. Better kung may hold ka ng USD before tapos ipalit mo to PHP ngayon. And only if may paggagamitan ka in PHP.
Kung bibili ka lang tapos hold mo until tumaas pa value ng USD, masyadong risky.
Of course don't trust me. I have my cash approximately 50% in PHP at 50% in USD. Pero that is because I used to earn in USD. I just use my USD when I travel kesa magpapalit pa from PHP. Ang iba nasa TD, MF, UITF. Depende nalang sa goal and risk appetite mo.

I may try my luck at a TD exchange branch (Ottawa or Montreal) I will call them before making the drive.

PLANET FITNESS to the moon thesis below. Yes I used Claude but with the direction of a data scientist like yours truly, you are in good hands.
PLNT — Optimistic Thesis to May 15, 2026
Current price: ~$73.32 | All-time high: $113.55 (July 2025) | Analyst avg. PT: $116.93
The Setup
PLNT closed at $73.62 on March 13th, sitting nearly 35% below its all-time high from last July. That’s a significant dislocation in a company that — by most fundamental measures — has been executing well. That gap is the core of any near-term bull case.
What the Fundamentals Actually Say
Full-year 2025 revenue was up 12.1% to $1.3B, adjusted EBITDA climbed to $551.6M, and the company ended the year with $607M in cash and marketable securities. System-wide same-club sales rose 6.7%, memberships grew by roughly 1.1 million, and 181 new clubs opened.
Q4 specifically beat on both lines — $0.83 EPS vs. the $0.79 consensus, and $376.26M in revenue against estimates of $366.48M, representing 10.5% year-over-year growth.
The business itself isn’t broken. The stock has pulled back on sentiment, not fundamentals.
Catalyst #1: Q1 2026 Earnings (likely before May 15)
Q4 2025 was reported February 24th. Based on historical patterns, Q1 2026 results will almost certainly land in late April or early May — right inside the window. The company has beaten EPS estimates consistently in recent quarters, with Q1 historically benefiting from New Year’s resolution membership surges and peak season dynamics. If that pattern holds and they reaffirm the 2026 growth algorithm, the stock likely moves meaningfully higher. KeyCorp issued fresh Q1 2026 EPS estimates on March 11th, suggesting analysts are actively resetting expectations ahead of that print.
Catalyst #2: Black Card Price Hike
Planet Fitness is raising the Black Card price to $29.99 post-peak season in 2026. Black Card penetration already sits at 66.1% of their 20.8 million member base — up 300 basis points year-over-year. That’s roughly a 20% price increase flowing through to roughly two-thirds of members. The margin math on that lands almost directly on the bottom line, and Q1 earnings will be the first place it shows up in guidance commentary.
Catalyst #3: The CFO Noise is Actually an Opportunity — And Today’s Board Appointment Directly Addresses It
Jay Stasz departed on March 9th, but the company immediately brought back Tom Fitzgerald — the former CFO from 2020 through 2024 — and reaffirmed 2026 guidance without modification. Fitzgerald’s prior tenure included guiding the company through COVID and executing the acquisition of one of Planet Fitness’s largest and best-performing franchisees.
Then, on March 16th, Planet Fitness appointed Harmit Singh — the sitting Chief Financial and Growth Officer of Levi Strauss & Co. — to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Singh brings over four decades of global finance and commercial leadership. He led Levi through its 2019 IPO, oversaw M&A and corporate strategy, and drove roughly 200 store openings over the past five years. He currently oversees finance, investor relations, franchise expansion, and corporate strategy at a publicly traded consumer brand of comparable scale.
This is not a routine board appointment. Adding a sitting Fortune 500 CFO to the board one week after your own CFO departure is a direct, deliberate signal — management is telling the market they are shoring up financial governance at the highest level. It de-risks the CFO search narrative significantly, and it brings exactly the kind of franchise expansion and investor relations expertise that Planet Fitness needs as it pushes toward its 5,000-location target.
The market sold off on the CFO headline. The bull case is that the board is now better positioned than before the departure, the overhang resolves when a permanent CFO is named, and you’re holding a stock that sold off on a personnel change while guidance and governance both remained intact.
Catalyst #4: Buybacks Actively Working
Planet Fitness entered a $350 million accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank, with settlement expected no later than Q1 2026, and authorized an additional $500 million repurchase program effective upon completion of the ASR. That’s $850M in total buyback capacity being deployed at current prices. Management is explicitly telling you they think the stock is cheap.
Where Big Money Is Positioned
Jefferies reiterated Buy with a $175 price target. KeyBanc just initiated with Overweight and a $100 PT. Wells Fargo also just initiated with Overweight. On March 10th, Morgan Stanley reiterated Overweight and TD Cowen maintained Buy — both flagging the CFO transition as manageable, not structural. The overall analyst breakdown sits at 3 Strong Buy, 11 Buy, 4 Hold, and 1 Sell, with an average price target of $116.93. Against a $73 stock, that’s roughly 59% implied upside from consensus alone.
On the institutional ownership side: Norges Bank entered a new position worth roughly $116M in Q2 2025, Ninety One UK boosted their stake 20% in Q3 adding over 577,000 shares, and Gotham Asset Management increased their position by 33.8%. These are large, research-driven institutions adding at prices above where the stock trades today.
The Macro Angle
PLNT’s $10/month basic model is effectively a recession-hedge. In a choppy macro environment where consumer spending gets squeezed, people downgrade — but they don’t cancel a $10 gym membership. The company has 20.8 million members and management sees potential for 5,000 U.S. locations long-term against a current footprint of 2,896. There’s a lot of white space left.
Risks to Acknowledge
∙ Q1 earnings could disappoint if membership churn picked up post-New Year. Easier online cancellations could weigh on net adds.
∙ The permanent CFO search is still unresolved. Singh on the board helps, but some institutional capital may stay sidelined until a permanent hire is announced.
∙ The stock dropped 35% from ATH for a reason — it ran hard in 2025 and is digesting that move.
∙ No confirmed Q1 earnings date yet. If it slips past May 15th, the primary catalyst window is gone.
Bottom Line
The optimistic case is getting stronger, not weaker. The fundamentals held up, guidance was reaffirmed, and in the span of one week the company brought back a battle-tested interim CFO and added a sitting Fortune 500 CFO to its board. Big money is positioning at current levels, buybacks are happening in real time, and a meaningful earnings catalyst almost certainly lands before May 15th. The stock is pricing in execution risk the underlying data doesn’t support. The average analyst thinks it’s worth nearly 60% more than it trades right now, and the governance moves announced this month suggest management is actively working to close that gap.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So why can't enough people call Charles Schwab and see if you don't get rid of think or swim and get it but get us back the street smart edge that we're just going to say the hell with it and leave the thing doesn't work the TD Ameritrade customers don't like it and I'll tell you what if you want customer service you better say are you a swab rep cuz the TD Ameritrade reps are a real pain hell they told me to take a million dollars and just find another broker three times unless I'm willing to go through their $75,000 YouTube videos learning how to use their worthless ass system they brought with them

TOUCHDOWN SEQUENTIAL! I dont know what TD is lol

TD takes way too long to deliver. I ordered first week of February and I'm still waiting. It's past the delivery duration they promised.
Anyone had any success canceling their order due to the delay?

The TD Sequential doesn't care about news, sentiment, or your opinion it just counted BTC's $3,500 rally and fired at $74,500

INTC/USDT just completed a TD Sequential Bearish Setup 9 at session highs - after a $1.50 grind from the lows

Lumabas yung TD sakin after uninstalling then reinstalling. Pero ganun ba talaga, need mag-apply then cocontact-in daw ng bank manager?

Why can't you do both? Buy a condo for asset and convenience while investing in stocks?
There are people who would sacrifice the present just to make the future and that is fine. Not everybody thinks the same way; no one knows when we die anyway so waiting for the future is a risk we take too.
My mantra, enjoy now while slowly building the future. It isn't a race anyway.
Stock market is unpredictable too, TD and other bonds are 4% or less at most after tax. Condo will outperform it at 5-10% rate annually.

Feeling overwhelmed before your first finance class is **very normal**, especially if English isn’t your first language. The good news is that you **don’t need to learn everything about options before the course starts**. If you understand a few core ideas, you’ll already be ahead of many students.
Here’s a **simple free learning path** that works well for beginners.
# 1. Start with the basics of financial markets
Before options, you should understand:
* what **stocks** are
* what **bonds** are
* what an **ETF** is
* what a **derivative** is
A derivative just means a financial instrument whose value comes from something else (like a stock price).
A great free beginner course is from Khan Academy. Their finance section explains these concepts very clearly and slowly.
# 2. Learn the core idea of options
Options sound complicated but the basic idea is simple:
An **option is a contract that gives someone the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a certain price before a certain date.**
Two main types:
* **Call option** → right to **buy**
* **Put option** → right to **sell**
Example:
Stock price = $100
Call option strike price = $110
If the stock goes to $130, the option becomes valuable because you can buy at $110.
That’s the basic logic your class will build on.
# 3. Watch a few structured beginner videos
Look for educational channels rather than trading hype.
Good beginner resources:
* Investopedia — excellent free articles and explanations
* Khan Academy — derivatives and options basics
* TD Ameritrade education videos (very clear beginner explanations)
Search topics like:
* “Options basics”
* “Call vs put options”
* “What is a derivative”
# 4. Learn the small set of terms professors use
If you understand these words, lectures will feel much easier:
* **Strike price**
* **Expiration date**
* **Premium**
* **In the money / out of the money**
* **Underlying asset**
* **Volatility**
Just knowing these removes most of the confusion.
# 5. Don’t try to learn trading yet
Your university course will likely focus on:
* how options are **priced**
* how they are **used for hedging**
* basic models like **Black-Scholes**
The goal is understanding the **theory**, not becoming a trader.
**A realistic goal before your course starts:**
If you can explain these two things, you’re ready:
1. What a **call option** is
2. What a **put option** is
That’s honestly enough to avoid feeling lost in week one.
If you want, I can also give you a **very simple 7-day beginner finance study plan** (30 minutes per day) that will make your first finance class much easier................

Marex provides clearing, prime brokerage, and market making across commodities, energy, and financial markets. It IPO'd on Nasdaq in mid-2024. It is still largely ignored by the market.
The business has four segments. Clearing generates 50% operating margins. Agency and Execution grew pretax profit 160% in 2025 after acquiring Prime Services from TD Cowen. Market Making is counter-cyclical, performs best in volatile environments. Solutions adds liquidity and diversification.
The numbers since 2020 are hard to ignore. Adjusted pretax profit went from $61M to $418M. That is a 47% CAGR. Q4 revenue grew 38% year over year. EPS hit $3.99 in 2025, a 4.37% beat against consensus. The company has beaten estimates consistently for three years.
The stock trades at 8.4x 2026 earnings. StoneX, its closest peer, trades at 13x forward with a 22.5% ROE. Marex generates 30% ROE. The discount has no fundamental justification.
The reason for the gap is technical. The original PE sponsor still holds a low double-digit stake. That overhang has been a consistent seller. It is nearly resolved. CEO and CFO bought shares in October 2025 and again in February 2026.
Main risks: interest rate cuts pressure clearing margins, cost growth from recent acquisitions is running above expectations, and a sharp volatility spike can strain client margin requirements and increase default risk.
We see 48% upside to \~$52 on a re-rating to 12x forward, still a discount to peers. Happy to discuss the bear case.

I started in like 2011 sophomore year in class, with wallstreetsurvivor.com (or legacy wallstreetsurvivor which is discontinued but back then Apple was like $20).
When I turned 18 I created a TD Ameritrade account buy it cost $10 commission to buy or sell stock. A broke college student can’t afford that lol so I basically didn’t do much trading until Robinhood. I got into options sometime around 2019 after stumbling onto wallstreetbets on accident and thinking if these idiots can make money from this thing called options, then surely I can too lol. Well, that was a cluster fuck and I wish I never saw that sub. Options have been a black hole lol. I was profitable and it felt good having money but it was pretty clear I didn’t know what I was doing lol. I remember talking to this old millionaire and he was talking about how he sells covered calls on Amazon and Google, both costing over $3000 at the time: I didn’t even understand what that strategy was and didn’t realize just how rich he must have been to have been able to afford to do that lol. But in your 20s, live was good. I was clearing $500-2500 daily on profitable days.
The down days were stressful. It’s weird, when money becomes a big part of your life, it’s not good.
Anyway, I moved to a real brokerage, TD Ameritrade 2020 and that’s when I slowly started to learn more. Now I’d consider myself advance, I trade with IBKR NDX index options. I also trade prop firms almost exclusively for now. I want to get into futures. So far I am almost at breakeven and my profitability has improved now that I have a handle on prop firms. I have received multiple payouts, with my last being earlier this week.

I looked into a physician loan but the rates on the conventional one was actually better.
2nd property with TD bank (also low loan fees and stuff, first property was a physician loan), worked with Bill Fagan.
1M loan with 300K down at 5.125% 7/1 ARM in Maryland. Excellent credit scores. Lived like a resident to save for that downpayment. Physician loan rate was 5.3%
