I made the right call on Apple on 8/31/2020 but because of someone negligence i lost out on that opportunity. I called in after i couldn't purchase my 3 options call buy, your trade staff didn't execute my call. I wanted to buy a call for $135.15 it not only hit but surpassed that target.
Michael M. on September 3, 2020 at 10:35pm
And i also my the prediction that this week the market would see a dramatic drop in all sectors. But my transfer from Robinhood is still pending. Had no liquid assets to make any moves.
Michael M. on September 4, 2020 at 10:30am
I have been on hold waiting for a trader for the past 55mins!🤨😡🥺 Like i said yesterday market fall. Also why is my Verizon call sitting still at 7:05 am PST Verizon was up $0 .88
Michael M. on September 18, 2020 at 2:40pm
WTH? So i did comment the other day about SNOW being one of the record breaking IPO releases of the decade. I don't see my comments here.
Michael M. on September 18, 2020 at 2:41pm
You guys think this deal with Oracle & TikTok will fall threw?
Michael M. on September 23, 2020 at 11:26am
Wow your agents can definitely use a course in customer service etiquette especially a trade manager named Scott. I made an formal complaint enregauds to an incident back on 8/31/2020 it seems like he wants to bury the issue to save his own ass.
Michael M. on September 23, 2020 at 11:44am
Lindsey i don't know if these comments are even reaching you, but if it is. It would be greatly appreciated if you could send me info towards your corporate executive inreguards to who manages your trade team?
Michael M. on September 23, 2020 at 2:41pm
Honestly 8/10 of my predictions in the past past 3 weeks has been in the money. And if it wasn't because of some insensitive jack-ass trade manager. Who more worried about covering his own ass. I would be sharing more here on this post. Seriously if this is how Ally treats customers, i think it's time to be looking for another trading borkage.
Manuel I. on July 24, 2021 at 7:54am
Thank you for your insight Lindsey Bell, you have a way of explaining finances that makes it easy to understand.
Jason on July 31, 2021 at 12:27am

Leonard H. on August 21, 2021 at 11:58am
I’m very grateful for lindsey bell and her expertise on investing I’m not able to invest much because I’m almost 70 years old but Iam very happy how my account looks it goes up a little each day or down I just can’t afford too much risk.Like the tortoise and the hare I’m the tortoise.
Ally on August 21, 2021 at 11:59am

I did not see any information on Non Fungible Tokens (Crypto currency) and if they are as risky as other crypto currencies. Can you advise?
