It'll be an early 1980's used Ford that they'll have to fix or repair daily.

Copy the names of firms off of the directory at the CBOT, CME, CBOE buildings and everything else within two blocks. Birds of a feather flock together.

Consulting? Was it IT? If so, focus on getting an IT job with some type of financial firm and leave the trading alone. Don't try to weasel your way into trading later on if such an offer comes about.

It's helps to have a way of identifying tops & bottoms based on price behavior within the time-frame you're operating in to establish when a trend is reversing or continuing. Focus more on the price bars instead of the "news".

Psycho-Babble 101. When you see a trend day unfolding, you have to tell yourself to get on-board. Otherwise, you'll remain stuck in the loop of imagining taking the next trade and never doing it. You might also have some perfectionism issues that you have to purge yourself of.

If I'm understanding you correctly, the Russell moved from ~729 down to ~705 before forming the "triangle" that you speak of. Since a downtrend preceded the triangle, you have to prepare for a downside breakout of the triangle. Maybe that will be the meltdown that the bears are hoping for this...

If the A-B-C correction is an "expanded flat", "B" will exceed the high of "1". You have to count carefully and not mistake the high of "B" for the high of "1".

Riskless? Heck no! You're assuming that the market will conform to your expectations. If the S&P quickly drops from ~1300 to ~1255, you're going to simultaneously projectile vomit and have nasty squirts which will paralyze you. The implied volatility on the short-puts WILL skyrocket and throw...

You want to "clean up"? Get involved in money laundering!

No. He's too much of a bull-market hero running on weak legs whose glory days are past. You're likely to get invested in a "Magnolia", "Vanilla Sky", "Interview with a Vampire" or some other stinker. Invest with Pauly Shore instead.

What month and year did the company do it? If it happened during 1999 or 2000, it was probably done to create the appearance that Schwab is a technically-sophisticated, emerging-growth, high-flying company. Being listed on the NASDAQ would be more congruent with those attributes. It could've...

The tough thing about using stop-orders with options in open-outcry markets is that the broker may not get to your contract month and strike price quickly enough if the underlying plunges or skyrockets. If you're using a stop-limit order, you'll seldom ever get filled at your limit price unless...
