I was holding RCL long-term during the pandemic and sold off after their last earnings report (at several points higher). Regretting that now as it keeps going up up and up.

Bought CCL for cheap before earnings and it's looking good.

Oil is down, record bookings. Really the only negative is the debt the industry acquired and high interest rates. But they're paying down the debt, profitable again, interest rates will go down.

The whole industry is poised well.

With the GTA 6 announcement coming in December, I imagine now's a great time to invest in TTWO. However, instead of risking my savings, I just want to invest the tiny amount of crypto I get from mining.

I looked into Exness, but that unfortunately requires a photo of my ID and proof of my address, neither of which is something I feel comfortable giving to a company.

Are there any stock exchanges that could work for me?

Damn, so no more novelty Hess trucks for sale around the holidays. I'm gonna miss those. https://youtu.be/iUCm2KHN_Ds?t=15

With SPY's average ~5% return rate, does it make sense to invest in companies like SJT, MPW, PXD, etc that have over 10% dividends? Companies like ORC which have like 18% dividend, but the underlying stock price continues to fall more that 18% are traps sure, but SJT, MPW, PXD and others that have a decent track record of not losing much (or even gaining) value seem like good investments.

Am I missing something?

There are trackers for the options you've sold, call and put screeners, calculators to avoid CSP risk, holdings, and a singular location for cost basis so you don't do something dumb like Idk sell SPCE CCs at $20 when your cost basis is $22 but you thought it was $18.
