    VRM and CVNA and PTON for short

    I just read a great article that Carvana and Vroom are continuing to lose money bigtime.. the charts look horrible. I am thinking about Puts dated out Feb or March. Any opinions.. same thing with Peleton. Some say they could go bankrupt.

    Broker withdrawals blocked

    I called into TDA when I could not do a withdrawal today and informed me my account is on a "no funds out" restriction. What the hell is that? These brokerages are treating us like criminals. I had some new funds just deposited so I get that,,,but I had funds in cash for awhile and I cannot...

    Broker reccomendations

    I will reach out.. but since you are in the industry,,,can you tell me why an account would get closed because a person is moving money in and out.. and these were very small transfers,,under $1000 and maybe 2 per month or so. I would hate to think that somehow I am not allowed to move $$.

    Broker reccomendations

    TDA just closed my account, they would not give any details other than some BS about "the withdrawal of funds" and offered me to call US attorney. Say what! I am not some criminal and my account is peanuts. I hear that these firms are all crazy now after Sept 11 and new money laundering...

    The dream to trade.

    As far as small cap and micro cap it was just a shift away from the whole asset class. I was buying 2 to 3 pics at the close or very early and after hours. Holding until the open next day and selling. It worked really good. I’ve continued to back test that strategy and it just flat stopped...

    People are so predictable

    I got a call in the middle of the workday from my best friend. That’s pretty unusual because he’s working a time clock type job and they watch him like a hawk. he says he’s calling because he wants to know why the market is crashing! Just to be sure I knew what the hell I was talking about I...

    The dream to trade.

    I was very close during the run from November 2020 through about July 2021. During that time I was making far more money trading than I was from my sales job, and when my sales job contract ended April 1 trading was my only endeavor and I loved it Then small cap and microcap stocks stopped...

    The dream to trade.

    OK what a lively discussion. I’ll have to change my words to the goal to trade full-time and travel. Everybody’s being so literal about me using the word dream. I know I doubt I’ve spent 20,000 hours on it but I’ve spent a lot and I’ve invested a lot of my energy and aspirations and hope for...

    The dream to trade.

    The truth is they have no idea what the hell they’re talking about. They just think it’s gambling. The people I’m talking about, my sister, my best friend, another close friend don’t even invest and have no clue. But they’re quick to tell me that it’s a fools dream.

    Sell the news.

    I have had some success recently buying puts on stocks that have earnings announcements that miss estimates. PNC is my most recent and I will exit that on Monday with a really good profit on February 18 monthly options. NFLX was a good one on Friday as well for me. Has anyone done this type...

    The dream to trade.

    Nobody in my life understands. I have invested over 20,000 hours and seven years into this project. Working for myself, trading and traveling is my dream. But when I attempt to talk to even my best friend about it I get such negative commentary. Can anyone relate?

    Is Technical Analysis a joke??

    I agree,,, I guess it is just a very old habit that I use TA,,, but now really second guessing it. I think there as alot to be said for investor behavior, the herd mentality, FOMO, etc... as a driver of price. This is precisely how a price can move, or an entire index, and we are surprised as...

    Is Technical Analysis a joke??

    I am starting to finally believe that TA ain't all it's touted to be. I get solid Sup/Res numbers from some great Tech Analysis experts, this is only on the indexes as I trade QQQ and SPY,,, snd then we just slice right thru those levels. I think all the patterns of handles, flags, hanging...
