I renewed a US Treasure today...$25,000. for March 28th. I got 5.3?% I had it nature the same date another treasure (at Schwab) matures. I'll be able to combine the two for easier maintenance/paperwork. I'll do more stock trading out of my Fidelity trust account. The account's money market...

I have 200 shares of BP in my Roth IRA...I enjoy the income!! Good dividend...Good option (covered call) money. It never gets called away. Just write more calls!! No special dividends please...That would defeat the reason I own this boring giant.

I bought back the option on Apple. It cost me 31 cents ($31.). I am finding I much prefer CBOE than Fidelity PFOF!! Fidelity will not place for price discovery...Just if they get a "hit", I'll get a fill. Yes, sometimes price improvement, but I can sit around for an hour waiting for the fill...

Well, I bought back the option on Apple. It cost me 31 cents ($31.). I am finding I much prefer CBOE than Fidelity PFOF!! Fidelity will not place for price discovery...Just if they get a "hit", I'll get a fill. Yes, sometimes price improvement, but I can sit around for an hour waiting for...

Just off the net. You now have weekly and daily options... Do options expire on Friday or Saturday? The expiration time is when the options contract becomes void and no longer carries any value. Usually, the last day of trading is the third Friday of the month. However, the actual expiration...

I think you may be proud and not wise... Run with your program...

Here is a gold nugget...Run with it.

Sorry, no I won't. Trying to explain the issues can not be summed up in a few paragraphs. Truly it can not be summed up in a book! You would need to read a couple of books to understand the issues. But to write any program without taking into consideration MMs is very very buggy...Since...

Have you considered the issue with market makers?? No one deals with a true "market" anymore... Things like MMs and dark pools come into play big time...

A video about the story...Funny and sad at the same time.

This guy took down the United Kingdom's oldest merchant bank in 1995... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Leeson#:~:text=Nicholas%20William%20Leeson%20(born%2025,United%20Kingdom's%20oldest%20merchant%20bank. A good quick read...

Sold 300 shares of Hertz (HTZ)...Gleaning some of my long term losses early. I sold at $8.46...I just wanted out. I own Budget/Avis and thought this would be similar. I was wrong. I think debt and going into EVs has hurt this company. Maybe the prices at their used car lots have dropped...

I am not this person... Any fair/good trader can hold a 1/2 hour conversation about the below... Could you talk with yourself or to anybody about how market makers work and how dark pools work?? Something to chew on...

Before you trade big (I know, to late), spend months (with an "s") on this website...At the bottom from A to Z. You can't even begin unless you know some of the language. https://www.investopedia.com/ PS You can't be called an idiot, unless you have at least "some" knowledge...

I know I shouldn't, but I'm still laughing at that one!!

Huge premium for Apple options. Their income and guidance came in about as expected. If you bet the wrong way or stayed put, you could be out big bucks... https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/AAPL/historical-prices

An outsider looking in. I think I heard 1/3 of companies in the US market are privately owned (hedge funds/private equity/Berkshire/foreign investment). I look at personal debt of the US consumer. I look at commercial real estate (2008 all over again). I look at the fall of the solar/EV...
