Robinhood Isn't Publicly Traded. But You Can Play the Investing Boom With This Stock.

[Option Beast]( 05/08/2021   |   [View in browser]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Robinhood Isn't Publicly Traded. But You Can Play the Investing Boom With This Stock.]( So much criticism has been leveled at Robinhood Markets by Wall Street's mandarins that it's easy to forget that the online brokerage firm has achieved a monumental accomplishment: Its free trading platform has made investing compelling to young people - a group that Wall Street feared had little interest in investing after watching their parents suffer financial calamities over the past 20 years. Robinhood has reached this millennial generation by using technology to make playing the market fun. Opening accounts is easy, too. And everyone who signs up gets a free, surprise stock in their account. In recent regulatory filings, Robinhood revealed PFOF relationships with Virtu Financial (ticker: VIRT), Citadel Securities, Two Sigma Securities, Susquehanna International Group's G1 Execution Services, and Wolverine Securities. Virtu is the only one that is listed on the stock market. The rest are private, as is Robinhood. Investors who are intrigued by the opportunity to own a piece of the market's infrastructure - one usually controlled by wealthy, private firms - could use the "half and half" strategy to build a position in Virtu. If an investor wanted to buy 2,000 shares, for instance, he or she would buy 1,000 shares and sell 10 put options.

But if you think the upswing is due for a break, this broken-wing butterfly option strategy has a neutral to bearish outlook. FedEx (FDX) is one of the top stocks in the Transport-Air Freight group, just behind United Parcel Service (UPS). It has a Composite Rating of 96, an EPS Rating of 84 and an RS Rating of 86. FedEx stock showed a bearish shooting star candle on Wednesday. After its impressive rally, and IBD's market outlook moving to uptrend under pressure, some sideways action could be in order. An option trade idea that will profit if FDX stock stays below 320 is a broken-wing butterfly. This broken-wing butterfly with calls has limited risk and works if you have a neutral to slightly bearish outlook on FedEx stock.

You can argue with his view, but I suspect he's right for one simple reason: The average person isn't willing to spend the amount of time needed to adequately research stocks before they buy. However, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide a way for investors to buy a large basket of stocks in one fell swoop. And you don't have to research all of the individual stocks in the ETF. But which ETFs are the best picks? Buffett likes S&P 500 index ETFs, and I agree. My view, though, is that there's a sector-specific ETF that looks even more attractive right now. Buying this beaten-down ETF could make you a fortune over the next 10 years.

Plus, there are many factors beyond our control, such as the economy, industry trends and unemployment rates. Too often, though, people feel there's something deeply wrong with them if they struggle with their finances. They may feel they're stupid, immoral, lazy or "bad with money," or ruminate on what they should have done differently. "When we make mistakes with money or things happen to us, we tend to internalize it and make it really personal," says Bryan-Podvin, author of "The Financial Anxiety Solution." "If you're beating yourself up, that's a good sign that there is money shame." Money shame can lead us to overspend to "keep up with the Joneses," avoid our finances or criticize others who are struggling, says certified financial planner Edward Coambs, a marriage and family therapist in Charlotte, North Carolina. "Shame induces us to be judgmental," Coambs says. "Because when we see other people struggling with something, it creates discomfort for us."

While it's true that for many of us "retirement" isn't what it used to be-far fewer people have pensions or the wherewithal to plan a "dream" retirement-it's still possible to have a happy, very satisfying one. "The biggest thing to determine is what's most important to you and what you want to do in the time you have left," says financial consultant Michael Trickey, author of Finding Home Over 50. Sometimes your must-haves aren't what you imagine. For example, happiness isn't always increased by living extravagantly or by being close to your kids. "There's zero evidence that those who live near their children are happier," says Michael Finke, who studies retirement and happiness. "On the other hand, the biggest mistake people make is not considering the value of friendship and of social spending [traveling, eating out] as sources of happiness in retirement." We took that into account along with what retirement experts call the Big Three contentment-makers: [More here...]( SPONSORED CONTENT [Look Who's Going Bankrupt Next In America]( Stocks are crashing - and now a Maryland multimillionaire is stepping forward to explain how a new money making era is erupting in America, making many rich - while leaving so many behind.
