    Swing Trade Stock picks

    Your experience is not uncommon. So look into trading indexes. With many 2x and 3x ETFs offering tight spreads and high volume, this may offer you a better path and help to avoid the vagaries of stocks. Good luck.

    ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’

    Yes, that's the place to start. Voting very clearly broke along lines of education. Trump, never one to use subtlety in language, told us "I love the uneducated." Then, he proceeded to appoint history's absolute worst Secretary of Education. Thus, the new Republican mantra: Keep 'em...

    ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’

    When he was elected, I assumed it was largely because of Trumps 'reality' show Apprentice. (It wasn't at all real...but that's another story.) He had massive network TV exposure that promoted him as being a good organizational manager. (He wasn't at all, but again, that's another story.) And...

    ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’

    Those of us of a certain age, who knew of Trump's career in the 70s/80s, are not at all surprised at his call to the Georgia election authorities. I listed to it all, and it is disgusting. But it is perfectly in keeping with who he is, and has always been. I didn't hear 'desperation.' I...

    IB, you really suck...

    I received one of those a few years ago. An actual "thank you" note from IB. I thought that hell had frozen over.

    IB, you really suck...

    They do have benefits. Customer service is not on that list. Other brokers have other issues that don't support my trading style. So I put up with them, and bitch once a year.

    IB, you really suck...

    15 years with this company, and they can't answer the phone or online chat. This is a 22 BILLION dollar company, and they can't add customer service reps? Absolutely no excuse.

    Trading loss carryover

    If you filed as an LLC last year and didn't hear of any issues with the IRS - and you continued active trading this year - I don't see why your status would have changed.

    Buy a Call Option v Sell a Put Option

    If you intend to trade options as directional plays on the underlying - betting on a rally or a decline - then you FIRST need to have confidence in your ability to trade the underlying directly. If you can't do that first, then options, for many reasons, will just accelerate your losses.

    REITs - Uncorrelated?

    Of course. REITS typically pay dividends. And they're often attractive. Just be aware that with potentially higher reward, there is often higher risk.

    Never sold Naked Puts until Friday accidentally. IBKR Question.

    On paper, that may well be true. But in reality, they are different animals and should be treated accordingly. In a covered write, you are making a decision to open the trade NOW, at the present time, given current information of the stock and market conditions. Conversely, with a short put...
