Question about taxes and investments

SO ive been automatically investing on ally. So my question is, if i pulled my money out, do i pay taxes on the total number? Or just dividens and interest?

Say i put in $1000 in a year and i gain lets say 20 on dividens and interest. I pull it out. Do i pay taxes onthe whole $1020, or just the $20?

Investing Robinhood

Hey guys! I'm looking to speak with someone on investments. I'm trying to learn how to buy stocks. I know that if I buy stocks, I can get more money if the company grows and does well. But I have a few questions.

I am a 19 year old male, I work full time, and make around $40,000 a year. I have a car payment, and student loans. I'm also trying to build credit.

Is there a way to automatically cash out/sell at a certain point for a company?

Is $10 per company every two weeks a good investment considering I don't even get a full share of these companies? (I have a broad based investment account).

How is this really going to help me? Will it even help me? I'm throwing money into something that Isn't super guaranteed and I just want to know It'll at least pay off for my Roth IRA.

Is it really okay to just let Robinhood decide what to invest for me, since I put in my preferences?

Which is a more stable, safer investment for someone who is new to investing: Roth IRA vs. Gold and Silver?

I am new to investing, and wanted to start investing my money as someone who is 21 and is working on a goal to save and invest my money instead of spending it.

However, I am not sure which would be a better option as someone who is new and is looking for an investment that will be safe, stable, low-risk, and requires little background knowledge on investing.

I can’t decide between a Roth IRA account or an account that it based off of gold and silver investments.

Which option would be better for a beginner like me, in your opinion?

Is that site legit? CapitalNexus.pro

Hi everyone, I am new to that subreddit and I am unsure if this post will stay up for long as it could be taken down for advertising (or something) but does anyone have any experience with that site? I've been messaged about it, and I am really curious.

However, I tried to check it out and it turns out that there are several other "Capital Nexus" websites, some of them directed towards different countries, some of them being obvious scams (as the website doesnt have usable buttons, and has only the front page). Checking the name out on trust pilot or any website yelds low amount of reviews (and low rating overall) but doesn't specify which website it is about, therefore I decided to ask y'all before I put any money into the machine.

Wonderin if anyone has recommendations on platforms?

Hey yall
Ive been interested in investing for awhile now and finally have the free time to try to sit down and figure it out. I'm a 32 year old dude in upstate New York. here's the thing, I have no attention span to read any books while also being so stubborn that I don't want to work with a human broker, and wanting to do this all mostly on my own.

okay so(don't Judge me please) this has culminated in me using chatGPT to learn about it(I know). The platforms that it keeps recommending to me are Robinhood, Webull, SoFi, and Coinbase. I was wondering if anyone had any illuminating opinions surrounding them and they could share?

Spirit Airlines Extends Debt Refinancing Deadline Amid Financial Challenges

Spirit Airlines has extended its debt refinancing deadline by two months to provide more time to refinance $1.1 billion in loyalty bonds. Despite strong travel demand, the airline is struggling financially, having fully drawn down its $300 million revolving credit facility and expecting to end the year with over $1 billion in liquidity. Challenges include the collapse of a merger deal with JetBlue Airways and issues with Pratt & Whitney engines. To address these hurdles, Spirit is focusing on attracting premium travelers, cutting costs, downgrading and furloughing pilots, and deferring aircraft deliveries from Airbus. What do you think the future holds for Spirit Airlines?

Lamb Weston Surges 11% After Jana Partners Discloses 5% Stake, Pushes for Changes

Shares of Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. surged after activist investor Jana Partners disclosed a 5% stake in the company, aiming to push for strategic changes. Jana believes Lamb Weston is undervalued and has suggested exploring alternatives, making board changes, and addressing underperformance issues. The company has struggled with declining sales and restaurant demand, leading to workforce reductions and capacity cuts. Despite a downgrade by JPMorgan, Jana, in partnership with Continental Grain Co., acquired over 7.1 million shares and nominated new board members. As a key supplier to fast-food chains like McDonald’s, Lamb Weston aims to improve operations and balance supply-demand. The stock jumped 11% on this news. What do you think about Jana Partners' influence on Lamb Weston?

Tandem Diabetes (TNDM): Oversold and Poised for a Reversal?

Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (TNDM) has faced substantial selling pressure, plunging 21.7% over the last four weeks.

Interestingly, Wall Street analysts are forecasting better earnings than initially expected, with raised estimates for the current year. Could this be the catalyst for TNDM’s price appreciation? What are your thoughts on its recovery potential?

Ally Financial Shares Fall Amid Pessimistic Outlook for Loan Charge-Offs and Margins

Ally Financial Inc. shares dropped after the auto lender lowered its forecast for loan charge-offs and reduced its net interest margin outlook. As consumers face more expensive debts, Ally tightened its auto loan qualification criteria, requiring more verification of employment and income. Despite adjusted earnings per share surpassing estimates, the firm’s third-quarter provision for credit losses rose to $645 million, with net charge-offs lower than expected at $517 million. Auto originations also missed analyst expectations, coming in at $9.4 billion. Ally's CFO, Russ Hutchinson, noted that while inflation has been tough, consumers are getting used to it, which could benefit future auto loans. What do you think this means for the auto lending industry moving forward?

Meta Unveils AI Model to Reduce Human Involvement in AI Development!

Meta (Facebook's parent company) has just released a groundbreaking AI model called the "Self-Taught Evaluator," aimed at reducing the need for human input in AI development. Using a "chain of thought" technique, similar to OpenAI's models, the new AI model can independently evaluate and improve its own responses. Meta's researchers believe this could pave the way for autonomous AI agents capable of learning from their mistakes without human involvement, potentially replacing the need for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Alongside this release, Meta also launched new image-identification tools and datasets for material discovery.

While companies like Google and Anthropic are researching similar concepts, Meta's decision to publicly release these models sets it apart. Could this be the future of AI development? What are your thoughts on fully autonomous AI agents?

CVS Health CEO Karen Lynch has stepped down following mounting pressure from shareholders to improve business performance. David Joyner will take over leadership as the company seeks to turn things around. CVS stock has dropped 26% this year, with the company repeatedly cutting its profit forecast due to rising medical costs.

During Lynch's tenure, CVS made notable acquisitions, including Signify Health and Oak Street Health. However, investor dissatisfaction has led to a reevaluation of the company’s operations and strategies. How do you think the leadership change will impact CVS moving forward?
