Maybe soon? lol I was looking back at this stupid thread of mine when I thought I'd add some short ideas... it didn't last long. I never went bearish on SHOP but ya never know. Funny how these old threads can remind me how stupid I can be.

exactly how I feel. I had a family member want me to start an etf and take on their money. I said there are plenty of funds you can put your money into and likely do better than me. They just don't want to put any effort into it.

This is an interesting thread. I consider myself small and only trade my own monies. I have family and friends that have asked me to take on their money but I don't. I don't want the responsibility. Do any of you take on family/friends money?

oh this is a good one ;)

Ma forgot where he lived

I currently trade options at Merrill, Schwab and Tasty. Depending on your strategy and needs these could work. I really like the Merrill platform but I am a dinasour and use ML for my core premium selling and they are low cost. Schwab is much better with tax deferred accounts and they do a...

Are you day trading or swing trading? Curious if you are automating these trades or looking for a product that will provide the signal for you to place the trade yourself.

Do your research and pick the top 2. You can always move in the future. I recommend you have at least 2 brokers... from time to time a broker will go down just when you need to trade.

who da fuk sells 15 delta?

Most sell premium to burn theta and theta burns best inside 90 days. The only reason I would ever sell a leap call would be if the premium was really fat and part of a leap spread but that is just me. We all trade different but it isn't any strategy I employ. 100% of my covered calls are sold...

Just think of that giant tax bill from 2020 gains and no way to pay for it.

Politicians going to use this for their transaction tax push.

I used to trade with just one broker but would never do that again. I have 3 brokers now and like the flexibility. Each broker has their strengths and weakness. It is up to you to best optimize how you use them. If you only have one broker you have no outs when things go down. Two brokers is...

I have know several that come back to prop trading after working at firms or taking on other jobs... it always surprises me when they aren't well capitalized to resume prop trading after their transition back to being on their own.

My schwab rep answers right away but I'm always calling for admin shit as their platform never fails. I have the trade desk to my other brokers on speed dial and I'm always connected in 30 seconds or less. If your broker doesn't have great service you should leave and find a better broker.

California was so strong. Now everyone can work from everywhere. California's numbers will drop and the smugness will fall as many move out.

Freedom is being eroded in Cali. I am one of those orange county republicans that is gone. Yup, I was in orange county. It was better back then. So different now. Sad cities. Sad towns. A few nice places left.

Not really. California already taxes the shit out of gas. Most of California already drives lower consumption vehicles. This was expected. I'm pretty sure they won't ban airplanes that run on gas in 2035 unless they figure out how to fly airplanes on electricity. They are just trying to make...

The left has lost control of California. The state will become more blue as conservative residents move out. In time the remaining residents won't be able to support the California system. Same is true in the Northeast.
