The Emasculation of The American Male https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-metoo-kavanaugh-ambush-1537197395?mod=e2two The Post reports that the therapist’s notes from 2012 say there were four male assailants, but Ms. Ford says that was a mistake. Ms. Ford also can’t recall in whose home the...

Emasculation of The American Male Startibartfast - Interesting that you should mention tennis. Tennis was a tipping stone with women demanding the same pay as men for less work. In professional tennis men play best of 5 sets and women play best of 3 and yet women demanded and got the same pay...

DatDude - Pick one financial instrument and only trade options on that. Your approach of just puts/calls is the way to go. All the other approaches are not suited for a beginner. Do not worry to much about the Greeks. Know a little about Delta and Theta but if anything turns into big time...

Blackstone is not a great stock to trade options on. The vol/open interest is small. For the 34.5 calls the open interest is 4. Your 2 contracts make you 1/2 of the open interest. Not sure what you mean by the premium completely dipped. Many times toward the end of the day the market maker...

You should never, ever, have just one broker. Diversification is a necessity of survival. Related to the concept of all your eggs in one basket. It is easier to deal with just one broker until it isn't.

Diversification. Would always have more than 1 broker. Not sure how they evaluate what you are trading but lately I have seen lots of bumping the bid down on lower volume assets. This lowers the mark and the value to your position.

It was 2009, maybe around Aug. Amazon was a rather modest stock back then. One day, in one day, it went from $90 to about $130, on no news I knew about. I shorted the shxt out of it using close to expiration options. I double, tripled, whatever. Amazon never looked back. I just kept...

Everything always depends. Do you want info for a few stocks or a lot or what? How far back? Markets are pretty efficient. Funs are usually priced in. However, you may have a different way of evaluating the data. How about some clues on what you are interested in? The easiest way is to...

It is a timing deal. When? But for sure will happen. Sooner than later.

Truth - If you are asking questions keep it simple.

OK. I do not do this so I do not know. What I do know is that intraday is not the same. Also with all of the info and whatever how would explain that there is not difference? It just does not make sense - mutual funds vs individuals - computers vs whatever - How can it be the same? Not...

You are right. Some people who are doing well post. Not the best strategy but whatever. However on backtesting - It depends on how far back you are doing this and what kind of trading you are doing. There is an implicit assumption with backtesting that things are remaining the same. If this...

Bitcoin - No one, and I mean no one understands Bitcoin. It is like everyone is on crack or meth or glue. Big thing to appreciate is no computer - no bitcoin. It is not an end of the world currency. How, why, where, when, - blows my mine. How can a unit that is limited be a currency...

I am going to tell you the truth. Your question is way out there. No one is going to take the time to try to figure out what you might be talking about Secret - If you do not owe the underlying stock - never sell options. I know there has been lots of ads about selling options. Do not. If...

Dude - Just because I am not 22 does not mean I do not know what I am doing. I haven't traded in about 10 years. Back in the game now and doing well. Never hurts to give the old ones a little respect.

Maverick - How much did you make today? I actually pulled out to soon but ...I will put mine up against yours.

What do you trade? Make any call you like in advance and let's see how it works out. I am giving $10,000 on the open on Monday 3/12. Do whatever.

I go back to my original statement. If this guy is doing so well then why is he posting. I also adamantly claim that backtesting - unless there is a good theoretical reason - is a waste of time. At the heart of system analysis is "ceterius paribus". If the entities trading are not the same...

I am 66 but you are probably right - "I don't know anything." Truth - I have never seen the volume of construction that I am seeing now anywhere. It is a cancer and it will not last much longer. As an aside I would humor a story of how, where, when, an advance in technology will keep the US...

When I do great I do not tell everyone I am doing great. If I do, I expect someone to ask - "Show me the money." You have percentage out there that are interesting, but could mean many things. Show the run and get the respect.
