They are probably paid for their trolling activities otherwise, why put up one useless thread after another? It just clutters the message boards and intended to spread disinformation and lies anyways so, no redeeming value.

There should be a limit on number of threads per day. Say, 2 threads per day maximum. Should get rid of the useless drivel by ET trolls by a huge factor. Maybe, they can all move to Huffington Post. Most of these guys are foreigners anyway and trying to influence US elections? Where is Robert...

Your problem is you do not have proper position sizing and risk management. If you did, you would have kept most of your $162,000 instead of losing 85% of it? That is a shame. As for getting rich, you compound your monies over time. Say, in 3 years time, if you have proper risk management and...

If he paid his mortgage, he would atleast, have recouped the credit card and home equity loans and if he decided to pay off his mortgage in full, he atleast, would have lost much, much less. Not the full $1,000,000 he ended up with. Instead, it probably, made him think, he was a very good trader...

You are allowed to offset your losses to the extent of your gains so, since, he ended losing monies, he probably, did okay tax wise. Atleast, he did not have to pay any huge tax bills.

One more that got away from me was VTIQ which merged with NKLA. Sold it before the merger and got $460 per contract profit on $580 cost for 79.31%. I thought I did good. Like 3 days after, now trading as NKLA, it went up like 30 points? That same option was worth over $4,000? Now, that hurt big...

The EBAY calls, I paid $2.89 or $289 per contract. IMMU calls I paid $4.80 or $480 per contract. LVS calls I paid $4.65 or $465 per contract. Each contract controls 100 shares of stock.

Yeah, they do but, 3 months out is a long time and enough to give you huge returns. Just closed call options on EBAY 277.16%, IMMU 141.67% and that is for just 1 month holding. My EBAY call option expiring 07/17/20 so, decided to close it and IMMU to due to price action. NVDA is a very volatile...

Had NVDA when it was in the $40 range but, I was trading options. My biggest mistake is taking the small profits of $500-$800 on NVDA. Had I given it more time, I would have raked in thousands on each trade. I have no doubt I traded NVDA probably, 20 times, maybe, even more so, that is a lot of...

In the short time he was a millionaire, he was probably, bragging to his friends how trading is so easy and now, he is going to grow his account to $5,000,000? He is truly, a gambler no doubt.

What people miss is by trading correctly, avoiding the dumb mistakes, assuming one was a competent trader, one can double his capital say, you start at $50,000 risking $1,000 per trade, with profits you reach $100,000 or double your monies. Now, your position size goes to $2,000 per trade...

The sad part to the story is he got himself out of the jam. Having enough to pay his loans back and the cash advances on his credit card but, he never had the sense to quit, while he was ahead? Hell, he could have used a huge chunk to pay the bulk of his mortgage to save on the interest payments...

Easy come. Easy go. He should have had the sense to put most of it, say $980,000 into his bank account. Now, that would have left him $20,000 to trade with. Also, forgot the most important part of trading, risk management and proper position sizing.

Actually, promoting their bogus BLM systemic racist, majority of Americans support President Donald Trump and the police like 71%. Extreme liberal Democrats probably, foaming at the mouths as they see those figures. LOL

Barack Obama is a constant reminder that there is no systemic racism in the US. Overwhelming number of whites voted to elect Barack Obama to become the US President not only once, but, twice? No way, I would vote for a community organizer and junior Senator without executive experience? Funny...

Love all the disinformation and I know better than the stockmarket attitude, so it must go the way I want it to. The big boys are probably, laughing their asses off while, they take the ignorant retail traders monies. Earth to Mars, it is the big boys (hedge funds, mutual funds, brokers and...

A lot of the great traders failed multiple times before they got it right. Nicolas Darvas was one of them. He continued to fail while, continuing to dance. That was his occupation but, his passion was trading stocks. He never stopped trying to figure it out and then, some. Finally, he developed...

What blacks need are positive role models in the mold of Candace Owens, Diamond and Silk, Wayne Dupree. They call it as they see it and gets rid of the BS. Compare that to black jocks whose talent is just dunking a ball like Lebron James, Stephen Curry or throwing a football pass like Colin...

Here is one more. Leverage. If your stock goes up 10%, a call option on that same stock could be worth 80-100% or even more. One thing to remember with options, you have to have the direction or trend right and two, the stock has to move a great deal to be profitable by a huge amount. Your win...

I will put the blame on Democrat governors who put Corona Virus infected patients in nursing homes. That cost the lives of nursing homes patients. All the while, they had capacity in beds with the Javits Center 2,910 beds hardly used. They eventually, closed it due to no more patients. Governor...
