    Here is my latest article on placing a stop. Hope it helps.

    Anything that is "correct" is for everyone. There isn't any "challenge to placing the correct stop". There is not such thing as the "correct stop".... only the "logical technical stop and hope it is correct". (There is also the "momo stop play and hope you get away with it"... which is...

    Here is my latest article on placing a stop. Hope it helps.

    Disagree. Stops are an art, not a science... IOW, an informed "guess". My guess on a play is "around support/resistance, with stop the other side".

    When your child has not told you what its gender is yet

    Geez... I always thought it was easy. If the kid has an "outie", it's a boy. If it has an "innie", it's a girl. What's so complicated?

    Goldman reiterates sell rating on Apple

    "In the end" could be waaaaay down the road. "value" is a thing and so is "momentum". Gotta find your way within. Many players, especially noobs, like to think... "I can ride the gravy train of momentum, then jump out before it all comes crashing down". Often doesn't work out that way. What...

    Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Is Now Linked to More Than 250,000 Coronavirus Cases

    We don't know yet the "real story" on the Covid. In spite of politico objectives and their spew to support their agenda, caution is still warranted. (Example... Trump wants us to believe "all is going to be OK.. effective and safe vaccine just around the corner". Dems want to do a "hard shut...

    Measuring instantaneous variance of SPX with VIX and the Heston stochastic volatility model

    I disagreed with him once... he didn't like it. (Please don't bother to disagree with me, either. I also don't like it. Thankfully, I'm righteous about my indignation.... I actually know my shit!) KISS, baby. As always. :)

    Will the election be the catalyst that pushes the market back down?

    1. If Biden is declared victor (note... I didn't say "wins the election"), market likely tanks. 2. Market may tank if there is lots of turmoil around the time of the election or its initial results. If Trump wins with an uncontestable landslide, market likely rallies at least for a while...

    I thought stocks always go up?

    An interesting notion... At some point, the market will deflect the Fed "jumping in"... the Fed's cache will have finally worn thin... and will be a watershed in both the markets and "monetary things". Of course, I don't know how close we are to that point.

    I thought stocks always go up?

    The strain of the markets make me look like it... but actually, only 39. :)

    I thought stocks always go up?

    Stonks have gone up for the last 100 years because of.... 1. $25-ish $TRILLION the government spent more than taxes collected 2. The Fed has devalued the $USD by ~95% over that time (Which is also why a $.20 movie ticket from my youth now costs $10.) That's quite a "tail wind". A snapshot...

    Poll: Riots won't help Trump win the election

    Seems both sides believe the riots are helping their election chances. What about the local people and businesses? Or are they just "acceptable collateral damage" for the political objective??

    Daily loss limit

    The "daily loss limit" is a ridiculous notion. If you're losing too much, it's more likely that you're trading poorly... and likely to continue to do the same tomorrow.... unless you "fix it". Trading well is not a matter of "running hot" or "running cold"... it's about running...

    Democrats causing riots

    "DemoCraps causing riots"? Of course they are. They want power and control regardless of the consequences. They are willing to burn America to the ground so long as they get to rule over the ashes! DemoCraps... truly America's enemy within. :(

    Indian lockdown

    With the Covid being "politicized"... we don't know who is telling the truth or lying to promote their agenda. Therefore, we don't know the "real" status as of now. The world has seen pandemics before. There is no common sense precaution for Covid that is unreasonable until we know more. :(

    Bank Of America Sees S&P500 Closing The Year Anywhere Between 2,200 To 4,000

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/bank-america-sees-sp500-closing-year-anywhere-between-2200-4000 Stated another way... "The market could close anywhere between the depths of despair and the moon". LOL! Is there a VWAP on this?? :) :)

    Prof: If Dems Win In 2020, It Would Be "Virtually Impossible For Conservatives Ever To Win Again"

    Codevilla, who is professor emeritus of International Relations at Boston University, made the prediction in a review published by the Claremont Review of Books for Michael Anton’s new book The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return. "...The book makes the argument that although some...

    Finally Something Most Agree On: 70% Of Americans Demand More Stimulus

    So... 70% of Americans like the idea of the government giving them even MORE free money! DUH!! (Do they really need the money to get by on, or they just want it so they can buy more OTM calls on Tesla?)...
