For me after churning stock trades for a summer twenty years ago - and quitting with $20k losses - even clicking an Amazon or eBay buy now ramps up the heart rate : )

I'll personally vouch that a smart monkey adrenaline rush good or bad can be addicting--- danger Will Robinson!

 

Wher are you buying these? I buy stocks on schwab...it costs very little.

 

That was the price per share of the fund. There was no fee to purchase.

For example, SNVXX costs $1 per share. So, 5000 shares costs $5000.

The problem was, I was multitasking, and stock buying should be a standalone task.

 

We bought Angel Studios at a good price, fun to watch it climb! Maybe replace Netflix!

 

You broker and/or app and/or webaite might have a "limit" option which can prevent those type of mistakes.

 

What he was talking about (SNVXX) was not a stock...

SNVXX is not a stock but a money market fund: the Schwab Government Money Fund—Investor Shares. It seeks to provide a high level of current income while maintaining stability of principal and liquidity by investing primarily in U.S. government securities.

• Yield: Its 7-day yield was 5.22% as of early October 2025, according to Yahoo Finance.

I love my stocks and they love me.
I studied them for decades as I gradually got into them.
Not 'funds', derivatives, annuities, options, mutual funds, money market funds, or junk bonds etc.
I am not a traitor, um, trader. I am a buy & hold dividend harvester.
It works!

30 day yield 7.54%

It's a good place to park money.

I wanted to buy some on my Schwab account, but it looks like they charge a fee for anything that pays a higher interest or dividend than their products.

 

Oh man, that's a heart-stopper. I've almost done that before when placing limit orders on ETFs that don't trade often. The pricing looks so harmless until you realize you just bought a small car's worth of shares. Glad you caught it fast, could've been way worse.
