The New York Stock Exchange said it will suspend normal trading on Wednesday. "The exchange will observe a minute of silence to honor President Bush on Monday. As per our tradition, we will close the markets in observation of the Day of Mourning," spokesperson Kristen Kaus said.

I suggest that most jobs are "shallow" by your definition since people only have them to make a living. Ask most earners and they will say if they could, they would not work, at least not in the jobs they can reasonably get. Trading is no more shallow than working in a fast food joint or being a...

We don't know which came first - depression leading to unemployment or unemployment leading to depression.

Yea, you have to buy back the calls if you want to keep the stock.

This strategy is used on stock you already own and want to keep for the long term because it is uptrending. If it is not uptrending it is not a good strategy (IMO) 1. You need to buy an uptrending stock you want to keep. 2. You have to predict the peak before a pullback and sell a call just...

Have you looked into Quantopian?

My point was to the advice of going to youtube for instruction. A newbie will have no idea what is good and what is bad. I agree with you about backtesting. Trading is an individual effort and blindly following anyone is dangerous. My strategy, my trades.
