Stocks only trade during the daytime.
So let's say that you decide to short a drug company. Then, at 8 PM, after the stock market has closed, the drug company announces that they just discovered the cure for cancer.
Boom. The stock price is about to go up 100x. But the market is closed. When the market opens the following market. the price is already 100x and you never had any chance to close your position.

>Please learn me what is the difference between a "put" and a "short"! Thanks!
I've already described what shorting is, now you can google what a put is, it's not very complicated, it's just a piece of paper that says "I have the right to sell you 100 shares of this company at this price on this date"

who says your money has to go into a retirement account. You might want that money later to buy a house or something. Consider that you have to pay a penalty to take money out of a retirement account before you're retirement aged.

just put the settlement money in a normal brokerage account, where you'll have to pay taxes on the dividends. If you pay 30% income tax you'll still keep 70% of the dividends. Assuming 3% dividends on your $300,000, that's $9,000 a year in income, and you'll pay taxes on that like any other income.

Or put it in a normal brokerage account and buy $SPY if you're not into dividends as much.

nothing to be worried about my man, you're getting $300,000!
