    Looking for a black swan trade in case Biden …

    You could buy a SPY put for Dec 31, 2024!! No matter what happens in the election, it could be interesting... I am more conservative. I just try to keep fresh gun power on the side for major corrections (sitting in about a 5% money market fund). The correction happens, I buy industry...

    Micron (MU)...Option out and sit tight

    I'm 68 1/2...It is hard for me to keep track of all my stocks and options. A few of them, I ask myself...What is that company?? Then I remember and it makes sense. I thought I had 100 shares of MU...It's 200. 100 shares are in my Roth IRA...They are optioned for the Oct 24 $100. The other...

    Why is it when a company announces they will be hosting a conference...

    The bottom is about to fall off the share price!! It seems like the insiders want to unload quickly. So, they announce a conference of some sort or another. In the PR wire, they say the company is a leader in this or that...Then throw in the "safe harbor" junk at the end. It just seems like...

    Amazon package did not show up!!!

    Have to start with the backdrop... I ordered a couple DVDs (yeah, don't hate on me...Old school). I want to hand out a couple videos to my friends. I asked my wife to buy them directly from Amazon...None of this third party junk. See it's Amazon!! They started out with books and VHS/DVDs...

    Reddit is ready for IPO, its CEO was paid 193 M last year

    Reddit is great for the obscure!! I went to Google and typed in "Tesla Model S windshield wipers"... First up was an ad from Amazon. Next an ad from Tesla. Then came Reddit...It has it's place for that minor niche.

    RobinHood gives 5% interest on uninvested cash!

    I made some money off of HOOD...The quarter they showed their profit I think. Here was the thread...https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/a-trade-i-was-to-embarrassed-to-post-here-yesterday-hood.371001/ The one hit wonder (profit)...I bought, then did a covered call. There are very few...

    Paying tax only at the end of a long-term investment

    Sorry...Not buying it. You have a problem keeping $25,000. (PDT rule) in an account. You also talked about margin... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-injustice-in-trading-in-the-us-a-manifesto.378406/ I don't think you need a CPA...Much less Turbo Tax. If you really want to do...

    Cabin's journal of buys, sells, and covered calls...

    I had one option called away the other day...Janus International (JBI). I don't even remember the trade...500 shares. I believe I made money...Covered call, and small profit. This one didn't have a dividend...But quality products. That is usually how I roll. If I can see a locked in profit...

    If you were trading in 2020, you were a part of a generational event...

    I like to see the breakers stay...Just me. I would like them to change everything to the 15 minute rule...It shouldn't matter on the size of the drop. My thoughts...You need the human element (brain) to absorb the market for a few minutes. No, don't go hog wild on time...But to say "I see...

    If you were trading in 2020, you were a part of a generational event...

    I remember on these boards (ET), we had people who owned oil futures during the pandemic. They may have had them on margin!! They got very mad here...Then very quiet.

    If you were trading in 2020, you were a part of a generational event...

    I still think back to 1987...Yeah, us old timers. I tell people there was no price discovery!! They go..."what are you talking about". There was no market for a few hours (if I'm correct), because no one would put in a bid/ask!! The market was a total guess... PS I remember calling my...

    Newb looking to pick a few stocks to focus on

    Look at ADM... They are large...An industry leader. They are very boring. They fired their CFO (accounting problems). Their earnings come out this week...No one know when (or what it will say). It could be just a minor accounting error...Or big time!! I think it was shady accounting to try...

    The Injustice in Trading in the US - A Manifesto

    It seems like the rules deter people from starting to become pattern day traders to begin with. Eyes wide open when you read the disclosures right?? You said in your application that you had extensive experience in day trading correct (including margins)? Were you telling the truth...You...
