    Love/hate relationship with triple witching hour...

    About one in ten (that are close to ATM) I will buy back, if I really believe in the company. I need to have a strong conviction, because I don't want to wait the 30-31 days to get back into it (many times at a higher price)...

    Love/hate relationship with triple witching hour...

    I do covered calls mostly. I hate when a favorite stock gets called away in the last hour. But, I love when one that I thought would get called away, drops and is still in my portfolio. Yeah, I know I can do a "buy to close", clear it off the books...Trade for another day. I just hate giving...

    Wine industry smoke and mirrors...Plus bank fallout

    I have lived in California most of my life. My family had been involved with the wine industry since the 1930s. I'd like to talk for a few minutes about how I believe the industry will go south. I won't give a lot of background on my family. We grew raisins, wine grapes, peaches, and...

    The likelihood of IB and Schwab bank runs?

    I have Schwab accounts and own stock in Schwab. Schwab (which I hate) will sweep their money into Schwab Bank. They say they do it to protect your account (FDIC). But, their rates have always been diddly squat!! Hopefully their bank can be on top of buying and selling treasuries...Not be...

    My flirting with new 24yo girlfriend on Whatsapp: critique my game

    You stole my thought (SVB). Tell her you'll pray about it (the relationship). "I'm confused...My wife doesn't understand me". That should give you a few days to a week. Personally dude...Work on recovery and what you did wrong in the marriage.

    Silicon Valley Bank...People can not unwind their positions??

    So the broker is on the hot seat, rather than the trader in margin accounts. The broker is waiting to unwind the trade and the trader can pay off their margin account yesterday (Friday)...Is that correct?? I just can't see a broker getting exposed like that... Could it take weeks or months...

    Silicon Valley Bank...People can not unwind their positions??

    I read something an hour or two ago. It seems when FDIC closed this bank (abruptly), the stock stopped trading. People who shorted the bank may not be able to unwind their positions. Also, if they did this on margin, it could be even worse!! Is this true...Is this happening?? I do no short...

    In a few years (probably) you will end up critical, bitter, and alone. Does playing the sugar daddy, ever truly work out for the guy? You need to work through your divorce...Not look for an empty rebound. If this is your second or third divorce, you know the odds of a successful future...
