    I got out just an hour after placing the trade at a 3% loss. I just realised that it was not a really good trade and I wasn't confident so I took a loss. I did it fast wit not enough preparation and analysis and reaped what I sow. Sold a breakout and bought a slowly falling stock. The ratio is...

    Pharmacists making six figures

    In Canada too they get a good pay. But yes, there is a lot of study, and it must be boring as hell. I think part of the answer comes from the responsibility and risk they take.

    Zero-risk trading

    Sell calls at a higher strike against the puts and pocket the same premium. This is called a free colar. But your profit would be limited. Google option colar. The problem: there rarelly are free collars (I guess theyt are arbed away) so the net trade is negative, but less. You also most...
