A system going long using leaps goes a long way the returns you describe. Obviously statistics on drawdown and volatility need to be provided, returns alone are meaningless. Just run it next to your dayjob. You need patience, but the satisfaction makes a lot up for it.

Get well stonedinvestor :thumbsup:

After 2008 I was hooked on that site ( something with a hedge and a zero) and read every article. Not a book but close. When I matured more I saw all the flaws in the bad analyses. It’s just a business model targeting a certain niche in customers. I also read they were exposed one time.

A while ago I tested this in spx/spy. Buy after x% retracement. It was irrelevant and even lowered returns somewhat. Buying lower could not make up for the missed returns.

Something was up at EVLV..dropping like a rock -12% (3.51)

So all newspapers have 5 headlines prepared, which is it gonna be: A. "Markets lower because off high inflation numbers" B. "Markets shrug off high inflation numbers" C. "Markets lower even as inflation numbers are lower then expected " D. "Markets rise by lower then expected inflation numbers"...

Adbe 514 WTH!!!

If you look at the past corrections- 10 years- now seems like a great entry point in adobe. Thanks for sharing this one!

The vix is basically the view of traders of expected volatility. If its leading or lagging is difficult to answer easily I think. It just gives a glimpse of the puzzle by providing a number derived from spx option prices (23-37 days). (although I read in the past some theories on volatility...

While spx/spy were somewhat lower today, the vix was also lower. So the market is expecting lower volatility- next week - I would say

And every healthy pullback starts with people thinking this is the crash. We just don’t know

Well, we're gonna print until that million can buy you a gumball. The irony ;)

Besides the negative on money printing, there is also a big positive. What governments basically do is printing whenever a ‘disaster ‘ strikes, thereby softening the potential dip which would occur otherwise. It’s basically roaming a little money from everyone and thereby over ovecoming a big...

Maybe a tradeble event for someone if interested: if pfe closes at 61.0 tomorrow this will be the highest weekly return(closes) for this stock since 1977. Measured as high-t/close t-1 idem. (But remember statistics can always bite you in the *ss)

Pfizer was my one and only ‘mini-savante’ moment of 2021 ;) I think it may also have some fallback on at least some shift to growth?

Maybe they get a baillout. I mean, they are already too big to fail ;)

I think they will be oke: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They...

Well, I just googled for the dutch and german olympiad winners, and they were all just good ol’ caucasian nerds. I can tell you that! Now I have to go and startup my Python numpy module because I need to cut my pie in 4 equal pieces.

FT had a nice video on NFT: https://www.ft.com/video/2cfc76ad-5e03-4230-97da-aae12a9681cb?playlist-name=editors-picks&playlist-offset=2 Maybe they fell compelled because an intern said NFT stands for the New Financial Times. Intuitively I also think NFT is a great growth area. It coincides...

To keep things very simple: you only play for delta moves. You set up an otm putspread 445-450 because you think spy will never reach 450 and both puts will expire worthless. Price moves to 452 and your getting a little nervous. BUT you still believe both puts will expire worthless. From a...
