I understand the painful situation you are in. From you post, I do not see how you are in the right mind to command in this tough business. Save your 4k and use it as practice for trading equities, trading with only 100 shares for example to test out your strategy, test your discipline in...

Neke, 9k may not be a lot for you, but this week was not an easy week as the market was very choppy except Monday. Would you elaberate a bit more on your Monday trading -- would you consider it a day of "credible strength"so you would go long with size, if so Monday should be the kind of day...

G, At a point I wanted to short FAZ, however my brokerage (tradestation) did not allow me, indicating it is Reg SHO threadhold security. Does this mean such securities are not shortable? Have you ever shorted FAZ with your brokerage? OC

I would still say the price you got was excellent as yesterday morning the strike of 17.5 was almost 1 buck in the money so you paid a little more than a dollar was excellent, given the supposedly high IV for earnings right next day. Your method might just be better than the other method where...

Ben, Yet another winner! Good job. When did you buy ADBE calls -- was it the day before? OC

Thanks for answering my question and sharing your method. I usually do swing trade in options and daytrading stocks is a bit "terrifying" for me, however I can also see a lot of opportunites in day trading stocks and have started to do a little, however I am lacking your kind of discipline and...

Ben, You might just be a seasoned stock picker disguised as a "newbie". Luck can not be with a newbie so often times! That said, Good luck tonight on ADBE. OC

G, I took the time to read through your tread and I have to praise you for the discipline you have in place each and every time for loss only around $200. That alone is so impressive and I am sure many traders here will agree with me! minus 200s and plus 400s have added up to a great result...

G, Pretty good call today on the beaten FAZ and DXD, though they shook you out earlier today. You could have made 5 good points on FAZ from your entry of 37 -- I know you don't need to be reminded! OptionsCharm

Ben, Good trade, especially ARO was up only briefly this morning and then stayed in red so far. The price you paid for the ARO call was quite good. Did you buy earlier in the day yesterday? OptionsCharm

Ben, I am impressed with your trades so far as you are right a lot more times than wrong on the direction of your bet. What causes you to believe it shall be a call or a put? Thanks. OptionsCharm

Neke, You can see from my # of posts that I don't post often as I am still studying the markets and trading. But in the last couple of days I read your entire 2008 journal with immense interest and I have to say I love it! It was like reading a great novel that you can not put down -- the...

I thought he never would have the guts to come back to face his readers after his "hiatus" (actually, hiding) of 6 months! But he is back, and not only so, he is also offering a subscription service at the Street.com! What a shameless person. I am speechless. I was a new options trader last...
