    1 to 2 years US Treasury Bond ETF...With good option money??

    JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is warning that interest rates could go up quite a bit further as policymakers face the prospects of elevated inflation and slow growth. Though Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they are near the end of their rate-hiking cycle, the head of the...

    1 to 2 years US Treasury Bond ETF...With good option money??

    SHY would be the one I would do it with I believe, (if I do it at all). I would bottom fish for the day...Try to get the low. It would have to be a full lot (no odd lots for options). I could just play with it for income. Wait and see if the option gets filled and assigned later. The MMs...

    1 to 2 years US Treasury Bond ETF...With good option money??

    I would like to be engaged to good yields, in case treasuries rose to 6-7% in a year or two. Maybe .3+% US Treasure and 2% option money (minus fees). Doable?? The more I think of it, laddering makes the most sense (simplest)... I also would be fighting with the big boys and MMs...Not good...

    1 to 2 years US Treasury Bond ETF...With good option money??

    Just thinking out loud. Is there one or two out there (with active option money), that has a fair yield and has a small amount of option money connected to it. Just wondering how I can play US Treasuries if they remain high for the next year or two?? I could just buy 1-2 year treasuries and...

    I usually don't listen to Dave Ramsey...But I think he is spot on here

    The man has good information. He has helped many many people get out of debt. I struggle with the idea of calling yourself "a ministry" when you profit greatly from some of the most vulnerable people in the church. Many have faltered and have become worse, by having to buy his program. Just...

    Cabin's journal of buys, sells, and covered calls...

    Warning...This video is over 2 hours. It is very addicting!! I really enjoy these guy's videos. They did many things in China, including teach. If you are interested, you can start at about 29:30 on the video, where they are talking about Apple sales in China vs Huawei. A real eye...

    Cabin's journal of buys, sells, and covered calls...

    A value trade...I have owned this ETF a couple times before. I bought 100 shares of MOO (ag ETF). Bought it at $79.56...Then did an option (covered call) for the May 24 $82. I got $3.44 for the option ($344.). I kept going back and forth between CBOE and Fidelity's routing. I finally put it...

    A Retail's Day Trading Experiment

    If I could put up 10 likes I would!!! Also...A market order and a black swan event?? It is real...We don't know when they will happen, hence black swan. In about 25 years of trading online, I may have done about 5 market orders during that time. Both my brother (who was a trader) and my dad...

    A Retail's Day Trading Experiment

    The MM's computers will jump in front of you because they see you (retail investors) coming in. I believe they will also jump in front of you during a black swan event. Eyes wide open...

    A Retail's Day Trading Experiment

    Two things I would like you to answer. Paper trading is not real...You REALLY need to look at the market makers. Every time you put in your bid/ask, MMs will jump in front of you. You know that is a given. If you don't know, you have a problem...A big problem. They have the ability to jump...

    Lending out stock...Why the descrepancy in price??

    Yeah, I know the obvious is demand...I get that part. Now At Fidelity (on their website), is a tab to see if you wish to loan out your stocks. Fine, it saves me having to jump through hoops...They have made it simple. I went through the process...It took less than a minute. Many of my stocks...

    Why do newbies lose?

    Here's the thing...You bought one trading program. You believe the guy...I get it. Could he be wrong?? If his system was go great, why would he need to sell it to you?? Why not keep that great insight for himself...Make bundles. So he wants to bless you...Give back to the world, pay it forward.

    Why do newbies lose?

    Sir/Ma'am/Ms, I believe (just me), either you are delusional or joking with us. How do most people gain insight to an issue or problem? By not only talking, but by reading about that issue or problem. I don't want to turn this spiritual...But many considered Solomon the wisest man ever. He...

    Why do newbies lose?

    "I already watch trading training videos on how to trade the ES market and the person in the video teaching was good enough for me." Wow...I mean WOW!! At least read about the 1987 stock market crash. Read about the 2000/2001 dot.com bubble. Read about the 2008 financial crisis. That is...

    I usually don't listen to Dave Ramsey...But I think he is spot on here

    This came into my Facebook feed...Probably algorithms (funny, Facebook thinks I'm from WI, because I click on a ton of stuff from there). Worth a listen...General money information.

    How to fall back asleep in the middle of the night

    I've been an insomniac for about 15 years. It seems to go in cycles. It is so bad that most of my trades are done after 10:30am Pacific Time. I could go on for hours about what works and what doesn't...Just two things I know for sure, the rest is speculation. Reduce your caffeine...It takes...

    Cabin's journal of buys, sells, and covered calls...

    A dollar to a donut ...Or a dollar, equals a BIG donut...As in big zeros!! We have 100 shares of Blackstone (BX). I was trying to do a covered call for the Oct 24 $165...The stock hit a yearly high of $115.22. I know how they are into lending and how small and medium size companies will need...

    Cabin's journal of buys, sells, and covered calls...

    Too old...Too much studying involved. Example, with Apple you can see with your eyes what people are doing. Warren Buffet could see with his eyes Apple (no comparison at all with me). What he saw...Except for Dairy Queen, this list looks mighty fine to me...
