    Well, I wasn't expecting something that good but I was hoping for a "maybe sometimes" answer. That said, crystal balls are welcome.

    Easy money?!

    I'm half joking but based on my past observation of internet tips, this means VIX is headed to about 2.50 and will stay there for the rest of summer. :)

    Options & Finding Volatile Stocks

    How does thinkorswim paper trading handle the bid/ask? How is the actual fill? Do they get you toward the middle of the bid / ask usually or are they always at the extremes?

    Options & Finding Volatile Stocks

    For a 5k down payment, if you are careful, you can buy a duplex with a fha loan and make 100 percent a year on your money. You should do that. Depends on where you live of course. Buy a run down piece of crap that costs almost nothing and rent it section 8. Section 8 renters are hard on a...

    Options & Finding Volatile Stocks

    OK, First, Keep paper trading, don't trade for two or three years. Save your money. BUT, if you do go ahead and trade you will probably wipe out your account which could actually be good for you and teach you a lesson. A lot of traders do that two or three times before they figure it out. With...

    Incorrect broker statement - is broker liable?

    Telecom carriers are expected to provide 99.999 percent up time. They usually cheat a litte. You might be surprised to see the lengths they go to. It can be done. The brokers should have to choose. Are they going to do it, or are they going to pay when they don't. Or FINRA could start a...

    Incorrect broker statement - is broker liable?

    In a mediocre world they would be liable. Here in screw town it has more to do with who happens to be bent over and how much muscle they have. In your case the broker is likely to not be liable. I have a master's degree in IT. This should happen never or so rarely that they can afford to pay...

    First option trade help

    That would work. The nearest in the money put usually captures about 70 percent of a move. This means if the stock is trading at 9.25 and you buy the 9 put and the stock goes to 8.25 you would get about 70 cents off that move. I agree with the other guys though, its too soon for you to be...

    Mark threads "solved" / "answered" / "closed"

    Once a question has been adequately answered in the judgement of the OP. I'm not saying we should definitely do it though. It only really works if everyone does it and its of limited value, but does come in handy on occasion. Anyone else have an opinion?

    Moving from a Prof Prop Trader to Using Other People's Money

    Severe understatement. Plus lots of attitude. "I was in the war so that means I'm better than you at everything never mind I think 12 percent a year is an amazing return and why am I not getting 5000 percent a month from you?" Its like they are all on meth.

    Market activity after Nixon resignation and Clinton impeachment?

    Do you have some reason to expect Trump to go bye bye? To answer your question, no. But, its almost useless data. Trump is by far the most pro business president we have had in living history. You can expect an all out crash, years of rolling in the mud, and nuclear war if he leaves office...

    Market activity after Nixon resignation and Clinton impeachment?

    He might LET them impeach him, but only so he can smack them around and make them look stupid when they loose the proceedings.
