First time handling PTP on tax forms after trading UVIX
I know this may not necessarily be the right group, but I want to see what someone who has done this before. I filed my taxes with a grouped 1099-B, then 3 weeks later got a K1 PTP form. I only use one broker - Swab, which correctly reported all …
gold and silver vs high yield dividends?
I'm looking for information for the best strategy over a 3 year period. Logically I'm learning towards high yield dividends stocks because of reinvestment for more stocks. I'm doing research and just looking for more information other people might might have that I can't find on Google.
why is gold inflation hedge but goes down when fed raises rates for inflation?

Is there any safe way to escape dollar devaluation without gambling on crypto?
I’ve been looking at my portfolio lately, and even with the market "up," (not even sure with this) it feels like I’m standing still. Between the cost of housing and general cost of living in 2026, the real-world value of a dollar is just not what it was three years …
Climate propaganda and fiat currencies

I don’t wanna invest in US companies, for ethical and other reasons. Don’t wanna argue about the reasons …
Anyone amateurs adjusting their shares? (UK)
Hi, not seeking financial advice I've only got 6.5k in a S&S ISA which I top up weekly with all my spare cash, I was just wondering if anyone else had adjusted their shares/stocks since Iran kicked off? As a former war involved individual, I feel this campaign is only …
Those that moved to a cash or gold position (correctly) predicting this correction, when do you plan to get back in?
Seems that a lot of people were trying to time the market expecting a significant down turn. And this time around, were proven right. I'm curious what the signs you're looking for the jump back in to the market? A lot of (tech especially) the big name stocks still appear …
Probably a good idea to sell mining stocks?
I purchased some copper and aluminum miners earlier this year and was doing pretty well with them until the war in Iran started. I've already given back all of my gains plus some... Does anyone expect miners to weather the storm of higher diesel prices or should I cut my …
