This is exactly what the beautiful retards over at WSB were doing to robinhood called it "infinite leverage". Dudes putting up $2k of their own money shorting stocks over and over until they have $50k in their account to blow on OTM AAPL puts...

dont hold bad trades "converting" them into "long term investments".

I am talking about buying, not shorting, highly liquid options near or on expiration day. Just curious where this lies between common and taboo. ATM options have crazy volatility close to expiration...i know volatility is a good thing in short term trading so the question popped into my mind. I...

The quote is "what one man can do another man can do"...if one person can do it then a second man can do it. nobody said shit about an entire army...and we all know that "only the few can achieve"...which goes back to my original post in this thread stating that only a handful of guys on this...

I wish they would speak up more.

“Your god damn right”

So we have about what...4 or 5 guys on this entire "elite" trader forum that are killing it...seems that OP isnt as far off as some of you care to admit. and yes, i too am a bitter shit bird that sucks at trading. It can be done but it seems that very very very few are actually doing it.

Very welcome. I am on my second round of TITZ...I listen to it when I clean or workout or drive etc...the dude has me pegged meaning my exact thoughts and feelings when trading. I’ve found both very worth while.

I stumbled upon these videos in my continual search learning how to not suck at trading. I am glad that the audiobook is of professional quality and easy to listen to. The Seminar is pure gold. I hope this info can be helpful to some of you. RIP Mr. Douglas.

Great idea. Save some of that 10% for AMD calls and biotech pennies to guarantee victory.

So I am guessing you are not a fan of his recommendation in black swan...90% in super safe low yield investments, 10% high risk stuff?

Can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not. What happened at Paloma?

I would say antifragile is the idea that gets thrown out there the most...obviously in combination with black swan like you mentioned. Antifragility is an interesting idea but his “barbell” portfolio recommendation based off being antifragile and capitalizing on a black swan event seems a little...

EDIT: MEANT "DYNAMIC HEDGING" IN THE TITLE ive only made it to page 70 and already feel as though i might actually have an extra chromosome. The way he tries to explain everything in mathematical terms is brutal to read through. I just finished "Fooled by Randomness" and it was easy enough to...

begging for change at the gas station.

Would a book titled "How to Blow up Your Account" sell? Im trying to come up with other ways to make money and being an expert on the subject of consistent losses i think i could write a book describing exactly how i trade. Then others can read it and just do the opposite. Chapter 1: Obsess...

wait...so most people dont get rich from buying OTM options?

Not at all. Very little susceptibility to extreme mania or depression. Pretty mellow middle type of guy. I get excited and sad like everyone else but not at all bipolar.

I can see the charity as a good suggestion...serving others and giving back tend to produce the most happiness. But damn man the rest is pessimistic as hell lol.

i don’t think I can go back to a day job. I have spent time recently in thought about what I would like to do and each time it ends with a barrel in my mouth. I do admit that I feel overwhelmed and unprepared for success in trading. I honestly don’t know shit. I have spent countless hours...
