Before NAFTA and globalism, what did the US have before? We had bilateral trade agreements with countries. It benefited both countries until, liberal politicians in the US sold US interests to back their foreign sponsors lining their pockets! Switzerland, the world's richest country in the...

I am more capitalist than you are! Let me guess? You are a globalist who favors the status quo. What competition are you talking about when you are trying to dominate the world's economy and turn them everyone into slaves! Quality of product? You do not know what that means! Most of the products...

You think the other countries do not have their self interest at hand? They have the unfair trade advantage which is why they are not going to give it up willingly. That is why you need the tariffs as a cudgel! What the US has is leverage because we are probably, the largest market on the...

Nobody is going to give you their secret sauce or edge in the market. Why should they? Everyone is competing against everyone else! That is the reality of it. Also, if everyone is doing the same exact thing, where is your edge? I will give you two nuggets that if you learn them, will make you a...

If you learn one thing about trading, it should be risk management. Risk no more than 2% of your total trading capital. Say you have $2,000 to invest or trade. Each trade should risk no more than 2% of $2,000 or $40.00. Does not mean you will only use $40.00 per trade. When you have an entry say...

If you have nerves of steel, you probably, can use his method. Personally, I have looked at his techniques and found nothing special about them. Drawdowns is my concern because if you are trading with a small capital, say, you have only $20,000 and trading Chuck Hughes systems, you go down to...

Or maybe, he is thinking about covered calls? If you own the stock then, selling calls would involve no risk other than our shares being assigned if it ends up in the money. You are still giving up something, which is the capital gains on the stock if it runs up big.

I have that problem too. My stop losses were too tight resulting in small gains on wins and losses. Does not help the bottom line and just made me miss huge gains! Lesson learned. I have relaxed my stop loss points. Inspired by your earnings plays, I placed a small trade on ANF Jun 15 2018...

Still learning so, my win% varies from 40-60%. I trade mostly, directional options thru buying call and put options. When I was going good, I had a 2 to 1 win/loss ratio and a good percentage return. I review my trading journal for mistakes to correct them. Now, I have come up with too tight...

When I started trading, I was reliant on indicators. The problem with indicators is they are all a derivative of price. Example, RSI indicator, a stock could be overbought or oversold a long period of time. The stock itself does not know or care that it is overbought or oversold. So, does it...

Since, you have an 80% win rate and only a 5% return on average, what happens when you have a couple of large losses because a straddle takes two positions a once? So, it costs you more for a single trade compared to a directional options trade? Wouldn't a couple of large losses wipe out any...

If a stock is trading sideways, option traders use options spreaders to generate income. Personally, I have not been very successful using options spreads so, I just gave it up. Options spreads give you a fixed amount in the premiums you collect. If the trade goes against you, you stand to lose...

The problem with that is it becomes a very expensive habit. You only have losses with nothing else to show for it! You are probably, better off gambling in Las Vegas because slot machines use RNG to choose the winners. Bad trades only result in more and more losses. Atleast, if you lose millions...

Most retail investors and traders are conditioned by snake oil salesmen at those seminars promising to teach you to trade and make millions to focus on how you can make as opposed to how much can you lose. You know these guys are bogus because they do not even give one trade setup at all. I...

Will definitely, watch that movie. You mentioned gratitude, do you believe in The Secret and the Law of Attraction? I do!

Never had a mentor so, had to learn everything all by myself. Made a lot of mistakes and learned from them. Learned risk management which is the most important thing to learn for any investor or trader. I taught myself how to trade options. Now, directional options trades for me most of the time.

Wow. To think she would have made a killing had she bought put options on Bear Stearns. That would have put thousands of dollars in her pocket. When it gapped down, that gain on the put options was huge!

We have the same bad habit (overtrading) and I was doing well January and February 2018 amassing $4,800.00 profits in my two accounts. Problem is I let losses grow on losing positions instead, of exiting them right away. Ate up most of my profits. Stopped trading and reviewed my trading journal...

Too many bad habits and hard headed! I tell her, have you not lost enough monies in the stockmarket? It is very hard to train someone when they are fighting you every step of the way! Aside from being impulsive, she refuses to learn how to read a stockchart, refuses to finish reading Stan...

Most women probably. My friend who is a doctor and a woman is impulsive too! She has blown up her account multiple times and lost 7 figures I kid you not! There are aggressive women traders out there and they are their own worst enemy! I know I overtrade at times which I am trying to curb now to...
