    What happen to TLT in April 2009?

    B4 who's time? I'm over 50. Aren't treasuries supposed to be a place of safety during uncertainty? I guess the "full faith of the U.S. government" isn't what it used to be.

    What happen to TLT in April 2009?

    It had a significant ~8 point drop in April. It's now under its' 200 day MA. Maybe "carnage" was a little harsh. :-)

    Does anyone have insight on why TLT dropped about 7 points during the month of April? And, is the carnage over?

    Options Mentoring

    You must be referring to "Options As a Strategic Advantage". Try "McMillan on Options", it's more digestible. If you think McMillan is dry, try Natenberg's "Option Pricing & Volatility" ... Brooks

    Options Mentoring

    Yes, they are *.arf files. There are links on the site for the player. I like them. You can download them and watch offline. The presenter shares his desktop and it's very easy to understand and follow along.

    Options Mentoring

    I will be working with Dan directly. I've just started month 3 of the 6 month program. It's a very well thought out program. You read a syllabus and do the homework. You also attend online syllabus classes. You read a Trading Manual with all the strategies and up to date trading...

    Options Mentoring

    I'm a Sheridan student and will add my vote to the 'yes' column. I've read 20+ option books and none of them tell you what to do when things go wrong. Dan will. There is no substitute to having a teacher who spent 23 years in the option trading pits. What sold me was going to...

    Optionetics vs. Optionvue

    IMHO, the OV period of free support is very short and after that, the cost of support per hour is very high. There are some very large option traders also using Optionetics. I don't know about MMs. Best thing is for someone to try both. Brooks

    Tradestation Historical CD Question

    I have 2 Omega Research CDs from 1996 and 1997 each of which has up to 25 years of data on it. I purchased these back in the late 90s when I owned TS 4.0. Each has many OR.. folders, each of which has MASTER.DES, MASTER.IDX & MASTER.OMG files and other files. Question: without owning...

    Are there any mentors out there?

    1. This is almost all pre-recorded material. 2. I've had unfavorable dealings with Optionvue. Not sure if things have changed but their products are overpriced (IMHO) and ala carte. One fee for the software, another for the background database, another for the scanner. A short period of...

    Are there any mentors out there?

    Jimmy, Thanks for one of the more helpful posts. Wow, 2 of those threads are over 100 pages. The trading does not have to be in options. In fact, my wife would prefer futures, indexes, ETFs or currencies. Brooks

    Are there any mentors out there?

    horribilicus does have a point. What I can offer is limited, certainly not as valuable as teaching someone to make millions(?). My resume reads: Twenty five plus years of experience in software development and training. Strengths in analyzing problems/situations, then designing and...
