She was revealed to be a fraud. Her numbers were phony.

It's one of the best guidelines in trading, because it's designed to keep traders from exiting trades early because of momentary fear or greed. The rule is not time specific. It can apply just as well to a scalper, as to a trader watching monthly charts, long or short. It's simply telling...

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. That's how to calculate rate of return.

It may help to keep in mind that the stock market is NOT the economy , despite what Trump and Ludlow would like you to think.

Check your math. Do you honestly think that selling a put is going to put you on a path of $1000. monthly income? Sorry, not in this lifetime.

The weeklies that are listed can be traded. It isn't necessary to wait until the week of the expiration to trade them. However, volume doesn't generally pick up until 10-14 days before expiration.

Prices and spreads are expected to be volatile on a Thursday pre-market during a pandemic with the VIX over 40. Where's the mystery?

For a guy who as always sold himself as a brilliant marketer of his own name/brand, it is hard to imagine why he would want to so aggressively attach his name and image to this pandemic and the resulting recession. Impeachment...pandemic...recession. He's hit the trifecta.
