I liquidated my brokerage accounts years ago, but I would like to support this cause. What would be the best trading platform to get involved with. One that isn't restricting trades? I'm 82 years old and really want to get involved in this last hoo-rah.
This is NOT investment advice. and should not be considered investment advice. Do your own due diligence and invest accordingly. (I state this for legal reasons). If all you want to do is to support "the cause" and want to be as safe as one can be doing it, then just go out and buy some silver from a local dealer. From the time that the money left your hands until the time you actually had the silver in your hands is negligible that way. If you're looking to get into it more, there is always a possibility that some brokerage is going to screw you over with restrictions (after all, THEY own the casino). That said, the blowback from Robinhood blockage is shaking a few windows. TD, Fidelity, etc...they're all big guys and you SHOULD be able to get any PSLV, SLV, AG buy in without issue. Once again, if you want safe safe safe, a silver coin in your hand is a silver coin in your hand, anything else is just paper. Just my 2 cents...

I'm not seeing any limitations as yet on Fidelity. They do lag on bid/ask and are ridiculously slow updating position values. I use other online tools though.
I can't ever remember TD having a position updating issue (and I have a set amount that I buy and sell with pretty darn often). Once again though, the brokerages own the casino, so tread with caution...

So far except for a little blip Thursday for about 30 min, TDA is rock solid and allowing all trades. I do think they raised margin requirements on some names.

Holding a little GME, a little AMC, and may grab some SLV Monday after the dip, if there is one ;)

As @Ssayer said, this is NOT financial advice. I just like the stock ;) and do be careful, only bet what you’re willing to lose just like Vegas.

I sort of think it'd be some kind of a miracle to see any dip in SLV on Monday. If I'm wrong though, and it somehow gets down to only the upper 24s, I'll grab a thousand shares and see where it goes.

Wow didn’t know that about options.

I don't do options because I'm unwilling to take a total loss of money, so... only stonks for me... ;)
On another note, I think sub 25 Monday morning is a tad less likely. I'm glad I got what I already have (bought on Friday)...

Man, all of the dealers are either mostly out of any silver stock, or have shut down selling completely until after the market opens on Sunday! Check out the alert text in red.

I'll be awake sitting at computer @ 3am as I've been doing since March.

Last week I sold my $AI from IPO and $SAP for more CCIV. I'm about ready to sell 500 of $NTNX that I've held since 14$ if news comes down. Unless futures stay the current path, there might be some good deals, or average down on some.
