#Charles Schwab Review

[eretzyisrael]

BY PARK MACDOUGALD

The “movement,” in turn, while it recruits from among students and other self-motivated radicals willing to put their bodies on the line, relies heavily on the funding of progressive donors and nonprofits connected to the upper reaches of the Democratic Party. Take the epicenter of the nationwide protest movement, Columbia University. According to reporting in the New York Post, the Columbia encampment was principally organized by three groups: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our Lifetime (WOL). Let’s take each in turn.

JVP is, in essence, the “Jewish”-branch of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, backed by the usual big-money progressive donors—including some, like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, that were instrumental in selling Obama’s Iran Deal to the public. JVP and its affiliated political action arm, JVP Action, have received at least $650,000 from various branches of George Soros’ philanthropic empire since 2017, $441,510 from the Kaphan Foundation (founded by early Amazon employee Sheldon Kaphan), $340,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and smaller amounts from progressive donors such as the Quitiplas Foundation, according to reporting from the New York Post and NGO Monitor, a pro-Israel research institute. JVP has also received nearly $1.5 million from various donor-advised funds—which allow wealthy clients to give anonymously through their financial institutions—run through the charitable giving arms of Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Vanguard, and TIAA, according to NGO Monitor’s review of those institutions’ tax documents.

SJP, by contrast, is an outgrowth of the Islamist networks dissolved during the U.S. government’s prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) and related charities for fundraising for Hamas. SJP is a subsidiary of an organization called American Muslims for Palestine (AMP); SJP in fact has no “formal corporate structure of its own but operates as AMP’s campus brand,” according to a lawsuit filed last week against AJP Educational Fund, the parent nonprofit of AMP. Both AMP and SJP were founded by the same man, Hatem Bazian, a Palestinian academic who formerly fundraised for KindHearts, an Islamic charity dissolved in 2012 pursuant to a settlement with the U.S. Treasury, which froze the group’s assets for fundraising for Hamas (KindHearts did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement). And several of AMP’s senior leaders are former fundraisers for HLF and related charities, according to November congressional testimony from former U.S. Treasury official Jonathan Schanzer. An ongoing federal lawsuit by the family of David Boim, an American teenager killed in a Hamas terrorist attack in 1996, goes so far as to allege that AMP is a “disguised continuance” and “legal alter-ego” of the Islamic Association for Palestine, was founded with startup money from current Hamas official Musa Abu Marzook and dissolved alongside HLF. AMP has denied it is a continuation of IAP.

Today, however, National SJP is legally a “fiscal sponsorship” of another nonprofit: a White Plains, New York, 501(c)(3) called the WESPAC Foundation. A fiscal sponsorship is a legal arrangement in which a larger nonprofit “sponsors” a smaller group, essentially lending it the sponsor’s tax-exempt status and providing back-office support in exchange for fees and influence over the sponsorship’s operations. For legal and tax purposes, the sponsor and the sponsorship are the same entity, meaning that the sponsorship is relieved of the requirement to independently disclose its donors or file a Form 990 with the IRS. This makes fiscal sponsorships a “convenient way to mask links between donors and controversial causes,” according to the Capital Research Center. Donors, in other words, can effectively use nonprofits such as WESPAC to obscure their direct connections to controversial causes.

Something of the sort appears to be happening with WESPAC. Run by the market researcher Howard Horowitz, WESPAC reveals very little about its donors, although scattered reporting and public disclosures suggest that the group is used as a pass-through between larger institutions and pro-Palestinian radicals. Since 2006, for instance, WESPAC has received more than half a million in donations from the Elias Foundation, a family foundation run by the private equity investor James Mann and his wife. WESPAC has also received smaller amounts from Grassroots International (an “environmental” group heavily funded by Thousand Currents), the Sparkplug Foundation (a far-left group funded by the Wall Street fortune of Felice and Yoram Gelman), and the Bafrayung Fund, run by Rachel Gelman, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune and the sister of Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman. (A self-described “abolitionist,” Gelman was featured in a 2020 New York Times feature on “The Rich Kids Who Want to Tear Down Capitalism.”) In 2022, WESPAC also received $97,000 from the Tides Foundation, the grant-making arm of the Tides Nexus.

WESPAC, however, is not merely the fiscal sponsor of the Hamas-linked SJP but also the fiscal sponsor of the third group involved in organizing the Columbia protests, Within Our Lifetime (WOL), formerly known as New York City SJP. Founded by the Palestinian American lawyer Nerdeen Kiswani, a former activist with the Hunter College and CUNY chapters of SJP, WOL has emerged over the past seven months as perhaps the most notorious antisemitic group in the country, and has been banned from Facebook and Instagram for glorifying Hamas. A full list of the group’s provocations would take thousands of words, but it has been the central organizing force in the series of “Flood”-themed protests in New York City since Oct. 7, including multiple bridge and highway blockades, a November riot at Grand Central Station, the vandalism of the New York Public Library, and protests at the Rockefeller Center Christmas-tree lighting. In addition to their confrontational tactics, WOL-led protests tend to have a few other hallmarks. These include eliminationist rhetoric directed at the Jewish state—such as Arabic chants of “strike, strike, Tel Aviv”; the prominent display of Hezbollah flags and other insignia of explicitly Islamist resistance; the presence of masked Arab street muscle; and the antisemitic intimidation of counterprotesters by said masked Arab street muscle.

WOL’s role appears to be that of shock troops, akin to the role played by black block militants on the anarchist side of the ledger. WOL is, however, connected to more seemingly “mainstream” elements of the anti-Israel movement. Abdullah Akl, a prominent WOL leader—indeed, the man leading the “strike Tel Aviv” chants in the video linked above—is also listed as a “field organizer” on the website of MPower Change, the “advocacy project” led by Linda Sarsour. MPower Change, in turn, is a fiscal sponsorship of NEO Philanthropy, another large progressive clearinghouse. NEO Philanthropy and its 501(c)(4) “sister,” NEO Philanthropy Action Fund, have received more than $37 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2021 alone, as well as substantial funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the Tides Foundation.

Overall, a decent year. My goal of completing series I'd started in the past and hadn't finished meant I subjected myself to some less enjoyable books, but I also read some excellent romances and fantasy novels, and I really enjoyed reading some older books, a practice I plan to continue.

Hiya! I’m trying to choose a bank, and was thinking that Charles Schwab seemed like a good idea. It’s good for travel-which I want to do in the future especially since I was to move abroad. Nerd Wallet ranks it well and there’s no bad reviews for it on Reddit as far as I checked (there are downsides listed but no one said Don’t use it). There seems to be no minimum deposit and no interest.

I was also looking at PNC bank, but the reviews are 50/50….

Hey cutie! You're doing everything right to evaluate the banks. So I don't know if this will tip the scales, but... this Bitch right here uses Charles Schwab. I have my 401(k) parked there currently and have no complaints. Bitch tested, Bitch approved.

But keep doing your homework! Make sure the bank you choose fulfills your personal needs. And remember--you can have more than one bank! Here's more advice:

July - September 2023 | Reading Wrap Up

[Jan-March] [April-June]

Autumn is here, and with it, my summery wrap up! And speaking of summer... Here is my recap of Forgotten YA Gems' V Summer Bingo Reading Challenge, complete with fancy card. As usual, I loved it. I love a good literary bingo ;)

Note: Our beloved Forgotten YA Gems group, after several years of joyful activity, has closed its door on the Goodreads group, but is still active in Discord, for those of you who might be interested!

And now, onto the wrap up!

Code: books read in English are in black, books read in Spanish are in red and the book I read in French is in blue.

JULY (8)

Los hombres no son islas. Los clásicos nos ayudan a vivir - Nuccio Ordine, translation into Spanish by Jordi Bayod

A Lady by Midnight (Spindle Cove #3) - Tessa Dare -> 3/5

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen -> 5/5

Historias d’antis más de Biscarrues - Ed. Sandra Araguás [Only available in Spanish] -> 3/5

The Magpie Lord (A Charm of Magpies #1) - KJ Charles -> 3.5/5

Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey #1) - Dorothy L. Sayers -> 3/5

A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon - Sarah Hawley -> 3/5

Tintin in America (Tintin #3) - Hergé, translation into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper & Michael Turner -> 2.5/5

July was fun. Nuccio Ordine's philosophical analysis of the importance of classical books for the humanisation of our society was perhaps not fun, but it was surprisingly less dry than I expected it to be. Some good romances came along afterwards, as well as a collection of local myths and stories from Spain, a murder mystery, and my first Tintin! I'd had it aroung for years, it was part of a present from many years ago when my English wasn't yet good enough to read it and then I just never got around to it until this summer... Overall, nothing exceedingly remarkable (except for my dearly beloved P&P), but good vibes in the melting heat.

AUGUST (7)

Flight 714 to Sydney (Tintin #22) - Hergé, translation into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper & Michael Turner -> 2/5

Cigars of the Pharaoh (Tintin #4) - Hergé, translation into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper & Michael Turner -> 3/5

Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism - Amanda Montell -> 4.5/5

The Blue Lotus (Tintin #5) - Hergé, translation into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper & Michael Turner -> 3/5

Broderies - Marjane Satrapi -> 3/5

The Near Witch - Victoria Schwab -> 3.5/5

Murder in the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot #9) - Agatha Christie -> 4.5/5

August was good! More Tintin (I have now finished all of the comics I had lying around in my parents' house), an amazing non-fiction book on linguistics by Amanda Montell (she also wrote Wordslut, which I loved, so clearly her writing is quite up my alley and I can't wait for her to publish her third book), a very good spooky story by Victoria Schwab, another autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi that I hadn't read yet, and my first time reading Murder in the Orient Express in English (although the book itself I've read like six times). Can't complain.

SEPTEMBER (3)

The Secret Service of Tea and Treason (Dangerous Damsels #3) - India Holton -> 4/5

Prosa completa - Alejandra Pizarnik -> 1/5

Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold (Stephen Fry’s Great Mythology #1) - Stephen Fry -> 4/5

Welllllll apparently what I need to sit down and read is horrifying heatwaves because my September reading went down a notch. Alejandra Pizarnik's complete prose was absolute horrific, derailed my entire month, and I'll never get close to her writings ever again, but the other two were very good at least! And I was definitely entertained.

And thus another three months have gone by... I am not particularly close to reaching all of my reading goals, but I am also doing better than I was this time last year so I shall count it as a win. We'll see what the last quarter of the year holds!

A couple of last-minute links:

The Lesbrary is looking for reviewers!

I am asking for Portuguese-written book recs!

How was your summer reading?

[castielsupernatural]

im cheating and sending u the same numbers that you sent me because theyre like, the best questions okay 1, 2, 15, 19 KISSES

hiiiiii bestie my answers aren't nearly as interesting as yours sadly, i could NEVER be as well read as you. this got long so the tldr is don't listen to me for book recs just go to jess :)

1. book you’ve reread the most times?

technically it’s probably twilight but let’s say it’s not, and in that case let’s say it’s the raven boys by maggie stiefvater. it’s definitely my most heavily annotated book and i tend to date my annotations and well there’s just a lot of them

2. top 5 books of all time?

i’m gonna do a fiction list and a nonfiction list and again be nice bc i’m not super well read 😭😭 also in no particular order

fiction:

catching fire by suzanne collins sorry i’m a slut for the second book in a series

a gathering of shadows by v.e. schwab see above

the dream thieves by maggie stiefvater sigh. see above

six of crows by leigh bardugo

the secret history by donna tartt sorry women

nonfiction:

dark waters: flood and redemption in the city of masterpieces by robert clark

the power broker: robert moses and the fall of new york by robert caro

the line becomes a river: dispatches from the border by francisco cantù

dopesick: dealers, doctors, and the drug company that addicted america by beth macy

unsettling truths: the ongoing, dehumanizing legacy of the doctrine of discovery by mark charles and soong-chan rah sorry for listing a book on religion. also if these guys names mean anything to you pls do NOT look at me

15. recommend and review a book

ok ok gonna do my fave nonfiction i've read recently and some of you have been unlucky enough to hear me talk about it but it's the power broker by robert caro, it's a 1,200+ page brick of a nonfiction book published in the 1970's as a biography of robert moses and just new york city infrastructure in general. i read a lot of nonfiction and honestly a lot of the writing is just bad even if the content is interesting but this was seriously one of the most well-written pieces of work i've ever read and it completely changed the way i think about local government. some fun excerpts and all my notes:

granted, part of the fun was i read it with my dad and we had a lot of fun bonding over it, but still! it's been such a cool foundation for other works on urban studies, too - i recently finished davarian l baldwin's in the shadow of the ivory tower: how universities are plundering our cities and there was a whole chapter on new york that i felt really well-equipped to engage with

19. most disliked popular books?

ok not to be one of those ppl that are like teehee i hated it before it was problematic but genuinely i never got the hype about harry potter. i think the problem is i read them out obscenely out of order and probably just a little too young (i started with the order of the phoenix when i was 10) but nevertheless i've just never cared. more recently i read the midnight library and i was so unimpressed i was this could've just been a supernatural episode we didn't have to do all this

book asks <3

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which heading into the June Options Expiration and the FOMC meeting, noted equity market strength as a change of leadership with rotation into the Large Caps and Small Caps at the expense of Tech names, but not sinking Tech stocks.

Elsewhere look for the supporting cast to remain in consolidation. Gold looks to continue its consolidation in a pullback while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index looks to pullback in consolidation while US Treasuries churn sideways. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue in a short term consolidation while Emerging Markets consolidate in a tight range.

The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. The SPY joined the QQQ with a move over the August 2022 high, both at the highest level in over a year, and the IWM rising out of consolidation. On the shorter timeframe the QQQ has moved to consolidation in the uptrend while the SPY and IWM continue higher. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

How to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity and Schwab

In the rapidly evolving world of investing, many individuals find themselves seeking more flexibility and control over their portfolios. As a result, transferring stocks from one brokerage account to another has become a common practice. For those using Robinhood, moving their investments to established firms like Fidelity and Charles Schwab can offer a broader range of services, research tools, and customer support. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through how to transfer stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity and Schwab, ensuring a seamless transition of your assets.

Why Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity or Schwab?

Before diving into the specifics of the transfer process, it's essential to understand why investors might consider moving their assets from Robinhood to brokers like Fidelity or Schwab. Both Fidelity and Schwab offer a more extensive range of financial products and services, including retirement accounts, mutual funds, and in-depth research tools. Additionally, they provide access to financial advisors and robust customer support, making them appealing to investors looking to manage larger or more complex portfolios.

Robinhood, while known for its user-friendly interface and commission-free trading, may not offer the depth of services that more experienced investors require. This leads many to seek out the additional resources and stability provided by larger, more traditional brokers.

How to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity?

Step 1: Open a Fidelity Account

If you haven't already, the first step in transferring your stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity is to open a Fidelity brokerage account. This process is straightforward and can be done online within minutes. Ensure that the account type at Fidelity matches your Robinhood account (e.g., individual brokerage account, IRA, etc.).

Step 2: Gather Necessary Information

To initiate the transfer, you'll need specific details about your Robinhood account, including your account number. This information can be found in the Robinhood app under the "Account" tab. Make sure you have this information readily available, as it will be required during the transfer process.

Step 3: Initiate the Transfer with Fidelity

Once your Fidelity account is set up and you have your Robinhood account details, log in to your Fidelity account. Navigate to the "Transfer" section and select "Transfer Assets" or "Transfer from Another Broker." Here, you will be prompted to enter your Robinhood account details and specify which assets you want to transfer.

Fidelity uses the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) to facilitate the transfer. This system allows for the seamless transfer of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other assets between brokerage accounts. Be sure to review the list of assets to confirm that everything you want to transfer is eligible.

Step 4: Monitor the Transfer

After initiating the transfer, it typically takes 5-7 business days for the assets to move from Robinhood to Fidelity. During this period, it's crucial to monitor the progress. You can check the status of your transfer in your Fidelity account under the "Transfer" section. Fidelity will notify you via email once the transfer is complete.

Step 5: Confirm the Transfer Completion

Once the transfer is complete, log in to your Fidelity account to confirm that all your assets have been successfully moved. Review your portfolio to ensure that everything is in order and matches your previous holdings on Robinhood. If you notice any discrepancies, contact Fidelity's customer support immediately.

How to Transfer Stocks from Robinhood to Schwab

Step 1: Open a Schwab Account

If you're looking to transfer Robinhood to schwab, the first step is to open a Schwab brokerage account. Like Fidelity, Schwab offers a wide range of account types, so ensure that you choose the one that corresponds to your Robinhood account.

Step 2: Collect Account Information

Gather the necessary information from your Robinhood account, including your account number and any other relevant details. This information will be required when initiating the transfer with Schwab.

Step 3: Initiate the Transfer with Schwab

Log in to your Schwab account and navigate to the "Accounts" tab, then select "Transfer Account." You'll be prompted to enter your Robinhood account information and specify the assets you wish to transfer. Schwab also utilizes the ACATS system, allowing a smooth transfer process.

Step 4: Monitor the Transfer Process

As with Fidelity, the transfer process to Schwab usually takes 5-7 business days. It's important to keep an eye on the status of your transfer by logging in to your Schwab account regularly. Schwab will send you notifications once the transfer is underway and when it is complete.

Step 5: Verify Transfer Completion

Once the transfer is complete, log in to your Schwab account and verify that all your assets have been transferred correctly. Cross-check your portfolio to ensure accuracy, and if any issues arise, contact Schwab's customer service for assistance.

Common Questions About Transferring Stocks from Robinhood to Fidelity or Schwab

Can I transfer all types of Stock from Robinhood to Fidelity or Schwab?

Yes, most stocks and ETFs held in a Robinhood account can be transferred to Fidelity or Schwab using the ACATS system. However, it's important to note that certain assets, such as fractional shares and cryptocurrencies, cannot be transferred through ACATS. These assets will need to be liquidated before initiating the transfer.

Are There Fees Associated with Transferring Stocks from Robinhood?

Robinhood charges a $75 fee for outgoing transfers. This fee will be deducted from your Robinhood account balance when you initiate the transfer. Neither Fidelity nor Schwab typically charges any fees to receive incoming transfers, but it's always a good idea to confirm this with your new brokerage.

How Long Does the Transfer Process Take?

The transfer process typically takes 5-7 business days. However, this timeline can vary depending on the transferred assets and the brokerages involved. It's recommended to initiate the transfer well in advance if you need to access your assets by a specific date.

What Happens to My Dividends During the Transfer?

Dividends paid during the transfer process may be held by Robinhood and then sent to your new brokerage once the transfer is complete. Depending on the timing, you may receive a separate dividend payment after your assets have been transferred.

Can I Transfer a Partial Account from Robinhood to Fidelity or Schwab?

Yes, both Fidelity and Schwab allow for partial account transfers. This means you can choose to transfer only certain assets from your Robinhood account, leaving the rest behind. This is particularly useful if you want to maintain some investments in Robinhood while diversifying your holdings in another brokerage.

Conclusion

Transferring stocks from Robinhood to established brokerages like Fidelity and Schwab is a strategic move for investors seeking more robust services and tools. By following the detailed steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure a smooth transition of your assets, allowing you to take full advantage of the benefits offered by these leading financial institutions.

Which broker is the best for option trading?

Determining the "best" broker for option trading depends on various factors, including your trading style, level of experience, specific needs, and preferences. However, there are several key features and considerations to evaluate when choosing a broker for option trading:

Commission and Fees: Look for brokers with competitive commission rates and fees, especially for options trading. Some brokers may offer discounted rates for active traders or volume discounts.

Options Trading Platform: A user-friendly and intuitive trading platform is essential for executing options trades efficiently. Look for platforms that offer advanced charting tools, options chains, customizable layouts, and real-time data.

Research and Analysis Tools: Comprehensive research and analysis tools can help you make informed trading decisions. Look for brokers that provide access to options scanners, volatility analysis, probability calculators, and options strategy builders.

Educational Resources: Especially if you're new to options trading, educational resources can be invaluable. Look for brokers that offer educational materials such as articles, tutorials, webinars, and demo accounts to help you learn about options trading strategies and risk management.

Options Contract Selection: Ensure that the broker offers a wide range of options contracts on various underlying assets, including stocks, ETFs, indices, and futures. This diversity allows you to implement different trading strategies and access different markets.

Customer Support: Responsive and knowledgeable customer support is crucial, especially when dealing with complex financial instruments like options. Look for brokers that offer multiple channels of support, including phone, email, and live chat, with prompt responses to inquiries.

Regulatory Compliance and Security: Verify that the broker is regulated by reputable financial authorities and adheres to strict security measures to protect your funds and personal information. Regulatory compliance provides an added layer of protection for traders.

Margin Requirements and Account Minimums: Understand the broker's margin requirements and account minimums for options trading. Some brokers may have higher margin requirements for complex options strategies or certain underlying assets.

Mobile Trading: If you prefer to trade on the go, consider brokers that offer robust mobile trading apps with features optimized for options trading. Mobile apps should provide access to options chains, order entry, portfolio management, and real-time market data.

Broker Reputation and Reviews: Research the broker's reputation and read reviews from other traders to gauge customer satisfaction, reliability, and overall user experience. Look for any complaints or negative feedback regarding order execution, platform stability, or customer service.

Some popular brokers known for their options trading capabilities include thinkorswim by TD Ameritrade, tastyworks, E*TRADE, Interactive Brokers, and Charles Schwab. However, the best broker for you ultimately depends on your individual trading needs and preferences, so consider evaluating multiple options before making a decision. Additionally, it's a good idea to test out a broker's platform and services using a demo account or small trades before committing a significant amount of capital.
