    "SP Retail Index Makes New High For Year" -- taking out Feb. high

    Everybody see that this morning? And in spite of retail sales falling -16%. How can that be rational considering all the lockdown, unemployment, etc...? Trump must be giddy!

    Hey! You want to trade?

    What do you do as an "intern"? Run errands, make coffee? I dunno. In any regard, I likely was not subservient and a good intern for anybody.

    Remember Wall Street’s Viral Laughingstock, OptionSeller.com?

    Regardless, you'd treat it with "kid gloves", would you not? :)

    Remember Wall Street’s Viral Laughingstock, OptionSeller.com?

    Years ago when there was the "US Investing Championships"... a real money audited contest... there were categories for stocks, bonds, options, option writing, mutual funds, others... and various size accounts... like $5K, $50K, $500K... and eventually through the MMVR, $1,000,000. You had trade...

    Hey! You want to trade?

    Years ago Jim Cramer (yeah, that one) was looking for an intern. I responded... queried him about investing and his track record... he responded that I should "take a pill". LOL!

    Remember Wall Street’s Viral Laughingstock, OptionSeller.com?

    I'm entertained by the notion of "what if you traded ALL of your mother's money"? If you blew up and bankrupted your mom... and she had to come and live in your basement... where you'd "hear about it every day for the rest of your life".... what kinds of risks would you take? :)

    Ultimate Summary of Trump's pandemic mishandling

    Trump's "mishandling"? What a CROCK OF SHIT! The Dems complain he "handled it badly"... "didn't act correctly"... "didn't act soon enough". HOGWASH! Trump didn't KNOW what should be done... he had to estimate/guess... just like everyone else. Didn't help matters he was lied to by the WHO...

    Always the case. Victor Niederhoffer?

    Remember Wall Street’s Viral Laughingstock, OptionSeller.com?

    When you "write naked", you're taking a BIG risk... whether you realize it or not.... especially when you're "so damned sure you'll get away with it"... and lever up big time. (I was "on their list" as an accredited investor prospect... don't know where they got my name.... but when I saw what...

    Hillary for President - 2020 - Vote : Who Wants Hillary?

    CFTC warns Oil can turn Negative again!

    If "re-assigned systematically" means "rolled", then that's what I read... Had never heard of such a thing before.

    CFTC warns Oil can turn Negative again!

    The June contract was rolled by the exchange into July to prevent the possibility of negative prices again. Couldn't they just keep doing that until the supply/storage mess is resolved?

    Futures traders: how consistently does overnight bias hold?

    As the stock index futures trade virtually 24 hrs/market day, they are subject to "developments" in both Asia and Europe... political announcements, economic numbers, CB actions, jawboning, etc.... which can either reinforce or reverse the last USA session. More of a strong correlation between...

    I Got this one wrong guys.....

    As I read through this thread, seems many miss the big picture. That is... "You can make ANY play that seems to make sense (even if it turns out to be wrong)... so long as you do it with disciplined stop". The biggest mistake a trader can make is to hang on to a loser, hoping it comes back and...

    I Got this one wrong guys.....

    Wrong. Learning when you should "probably chase and how to do it" is a big deal... with stops, of course.

    What are you talking about? Obama isn't Mexican and he's already gone.

    How important is the win percentage?

    We should all be practicing smart trading while ignoring foolish notions.

    How important is the win percentage?

    What's smart about that? You could get 100% win rate if you counted only your profitable trades.

    How important is the win percentage?

    95% win rate? That's a load of bilge for retail screen jockeys. (Maybe for front-running HFTs..) 95% win rate and still blow out your account? Ridiculous. If you're smart enough to devise a 95% win strategy, you couldn't possibly be naive/stupid enough to lose all your money with it.
