    Distressed Debt Investing

    Haven't come across a whole lot of interest recently, but watching a few retailers. Seems quite a few have been having issues. I know I've seen H.H.Gregg mentioned in an article as well as Gander Mountain for filing bankruptcy. I didn't see any of their debt trading though when I searched the...

    Serious: Last year I turned my account from 25k to 150k. Now my account is down to 90k.

    Obviously late to post this and I meant to the other day, but if you feel like the above, it's pretty much a guarantee you need to take your money out or just not touch any trading until you level out. I've never felt like that and had good come from it or seen/heard of anybody else have...

    3 minute push up challenge

    I'm sure that makes for a nice workout haha. All those tier 1 and 2 guys are insane. Their endurance is unreal. Special Forces (Green Beret) is my ultimate goal. Sucky part about going in as an officer is it is roughly a 5 year track to get to that level where as enlisted you can go straight...

    3 minute push up challenge

    Thanks, I'm 24 with my degree, so working on going in as an officer. I was supposed to attend the selection board this week actually but had medical paperwork delay me again so now looking at June unless they move the date. This board was moved up by a month last minute so hoping the next one...

    3 minute push up challenge

    I can always squeeze an extra 30-60 seconds out of a plank by doing something else lol I'll scroll through ET or something to take my mind off of it with the timer running in the background so I can't see it.

    3 minute push up challenge

    I think I've made it known on here I'm working on going into the army currently, well every Wednesday about 10-15 of us do a workout with the recruiters. It's usually brutal. Ends with a crazy competition that you do not want to lose. Anyways, the other day at the end of our workout they had...

    3 minute push up challenge

    Do you do 100 non stop or break them up throughout the hour? I did a push-up workout a few months back that basically was take your max number of straight push-ups, multiply it by 4 or 5 (can't remember which) then on day 1 do that number of push-ups however you want throughout the day. On day...

    There's literally a clear winner in the beverage war

    That is crazy, glad to hear you are doing better at least. I wonder if that includes limiting things like greek yogurt? That's the main two milk products I eat/drink. Potatoes, fish, AND nuts? wtf....I enjoy all these lol

    There's literally a clear winner in the beverage war

    Well that's not encouraging lol. I drink whole milk but actually I don't drink it as much as I used to. Maybe 24oz a day depending what I eat for dinner.

    There's literally a clear winner in the beverage war

    I don't know about sparkling...but I basically just drink water and a ton of milk (red bull is my occasional guilty pleasure though lol)

    3 minute push up challenge

    I didn't read the article at first, I was about to feel really weak if you all were cranking out this many push-ups in 3 minutes without stopping lol. I got 55 the other night in a minute, but haven't ever tried this. I'll give it a shot before bed.

    Has anyone recovered money from stock ligitation lawsuits?

    If you are anticipating this to help you in recovering your recent draw down, I probably wouldn't approach it with high hopes. These things are long and drawn out and your odds aren't that great I'd say. Were you holding the position when some event/news came out? If they went bankrupt, your...

    SVXY @ significant drawdown

    Yeah that's why those go down and XIV/SVXY go up when the curve is normal/things are calm. Check out vixcentral.com it's a pretty useful site.

    SVXY @ significant drawdown

    If vol drops back down quickly you could make a great return from buying it after a huge drop. Or you could lose quite a bit. Simple explanation is everyday the curve stays inverted the fund is losing money from its daily roll (buying the next month). So if it takes it a month to cool off, the...

    Confusion on understanding the GRAINS Trading Hours ??

    First times are the night session. Second times are the day session. So from 1:20pm-7pm the market would be closed and from 745am to 8:30am also closed.

    Serious: Last year I turned my account from 25k to 150k. Now my account is down to 90k.

    So the bulk of your profits were made in a 30 day straight period it sounds like. I once found a weird thing going on with a stock where it was selling off at the same time every single day. I milked it for like 2 weeks going all in every time (this was at 19yo and first few weeks with options...

    Serious: Last year I turned my account from 25k to 150k. Now my account is down to 90k.

    Have you lost your edge or should I say is what you were doing just not working anymore? At a minimum why not take out your initial $25k? If you are thinking maybe you should throw in the towel, why not just take your money out and re-evaluate. Just take some time and figure out why you are losing.

    What should the VIX be at in order to sell options where RvR is worth it

    Rally, is that primarily just on the indexes you prefer that or individual stocks as well?

    Futures are bright red!

    I didn't think the market even cared that much on them and their antics. Although I always wonder when they are going to screw up one of their missile tests and accidentally hit another country. That will give the world the justification to bomb them into oblivion. Or at least a few well...

    Bitcoin Surpasses Gold

    I mean if you think about it, the whole value for each is based on a specific individual unit. Who says 1 bitcoin is the same as an ounce of gold? It's all arbitrary. $ wise sure they are at the same price, but that doesn't mean one is suppressed or the other overvalued I don't think. Bitcoin...
