    changing my mind on day trading

    I did some day trades last week and went flat at the close, no open positions. What is very revealing is that I had no reason to keep up with things after hours, before market hours, overnight futures, etc.. In other words it is more like a regular job. Since I trade options (yes I changed on...

    What is a real strategy and how to define them?

    Warren Buffet once said that your strategy needs to be simple enough to explain to someone who has very little understanding of the investment world. Yeah Buddy

    WOW... I am so darn glad they pointed that out... I could not have figured that out on my own. We are so fortunate to have those high priced idiots guiding us in our financial lives.

    Less is More

    For March I have drastically decreased my number of trades. Only 5 trades so far, 2 are still open, so I will probably do about 8-10 for the month. I have also increased my hold times to much longer. Previously I was doing about 30-35 trades per month. AND geez wouldn't you know, I am having a...

    Crypto Troubles

    I always said no way in the world would the super powers (USA, China, Russia) stand by and allow their citizens to own/transact/trade a currency they had no control over. See this article, the end is near...

    crude & USO

    first off... Yippie, crude has been even as high as 130 since the futures opened 4 hours ago. Not sure how.. but on my TDA charts it shows a price of $85 for USO. USO is an ETF and should not trade until 4am EST. Am I missing something here?

    Long Crude!

    ??? This is the third time I’ve been in this trade in the last five weeks. Waiting for a pull back from 116 to under 107 and hit it again.

    Long Crude!

    Needless to say, my Calls on Crude are going fabulous. I use USO to trade... I watch UCO, but you do not get the performance on the options to warrant the additional risk, volatility, ATR, etc... anyway, Crude hit $116 today briefly, USO hit $80 and held thru after hours. Russia/Ukraine...

    Options.,... Argh... no more!!

    exactly!!! but hey,, all the little retail investors think they can get that all correct. The real issue is why options are so attractive, it is the possibility of making alot of $$ from a small amount put up. Just like the big come on for Forex.

    Options.,... Argh... no more!!

    I have read recently that options are almost taking over trading volume, especially for retail traders..that is us. After trying VERY hard I am throwing in the towel. Sure, I can have a big winner, but it is offset by those that expire worthless. Basically, we have very little chance to make...

    turning over a new page for March 2022

    I have seriously developed a stupid attraction to options... sure I can have a 80% winner, but how many of my options expire worthless. I have read alot about retail traders having no chance to win at options, but that attraction is so high.
