    Nancy Pelosi's husband bought call options in these 5 stocks as 2021 came to a close

    Are you making an assumption that the hypocritical bitch could have any wrongdoing at play here? SHOCKER! That said, would be interesting to see a bunch of reddit/WallStreetBet bandits make some play at trying to short down those calls.... somehow. But if it WERE possible and did happen...I...

    Things are still shit in the HOOD.

    Unfortunately for bag-holders and ARK fans, today wasn't any better. Despite a small uptrend near close, it's still down over 5 and a half percent (again) today. While Hood was dipping lower into the $16 range today (for a while), I wonder if ARK decided to play/gamble and DOUBLE-UP again...

    The Education of a Speculator

    Well it's about 2:47am here, and I just finished the last of it now. I believe there were two books written by him, but I may wait for a long time before I pick up the other. For now I think I'll go back to studying financial statements for a while, LOL.

    Things are still shit in the HOOD.

    I avoided the hype when every millennial was shoving in their covid paychecks into this hand-over-fist. But that said, even I wasn't prepared to see how utter shit this company was going to continue to perform. Taking a look now, I see the abysmal performance of the stock which has fallen from...

    The Education of a Speculator

    Well I don't know. I've been finding this more of a bore and never-ending-boring read to try to get through. In fact, I'm just now trying to finish the book off as it's been sitting partially read since the middle of least year or so. I suppose I could be missing some high-level reading that's...

    When are additional strikes added to a given expiration?

    I believe it is up to the exchanges, but each can vary and they can change at a whim. Sort of like how many traders blow up because their brokers often randomly change the margin requirements at a whim, and with no warning. I believe at one time Karen (The super-trader) lost a big chunk of...

    Another day trading guru bites the dust.

    I just saw those pics a few days ago, but didn't realize he was part of a day-trading scam. Well, who woulda thought that!? I mean, if you can't trust a daytrader... who can you trust? A bank? After looking at Trust Pilot, it seems they (or their henchmen) were posting numerous FAKE reviews in...

    BlockbusterDAO

    I start to wonder, is the rapidly emergence of DAOs like this, going to turn into the same explosion & fail that SPACs just went through? In any case, I'm about to do something stupid and almost buy tokens into this one if it actually seems to go anywhere. Note: That's a REALLY BIG 'IF'

    Failures/Triumphs by Options Books that kicked your ass?

    Just as the title says... Anyone have any winning, or "I give up" stories about a particular derivatives book that KICKED your ass initially? How did you give up, or did you over-come it? I just thought I'd ask here, as I've read a couple dozen or so books which were not TOO difficult to...

    Fake gurus?

    Even a blindfolded monkey can make money in a bull market... As for the anti-gurus... there was one I used to follow, I forget her name. Her youtube was full of almost comical ways of exposing the huge fad of bogus ForEx trading gurus. Some of you I am sure know who I am talking about now...

    What are "options on futures"?

    I'm not a commodities trader, and maybe never will be. But from what I remember a long time ago some x-floor traders telling me... Options on Futures on Nat-Gas = BOOM! There is a good reason why people say trading Nat-Gas also goes by the name WIDOW-MAKER. The only good thing about the...

    Book club

    I've listened to Jack speak before, and been trying to get to his books (I have at least one kicking around). However, I also have over a hundred other good books here that I am trying to find the time to get through reading first. Every time I finish one book, I end up buying 10 more...

    RadioShack Returns as a Crypto Company

    I was given a TRS-80 keyboard as a kid, which was ancient when it was already given to me. And when I got a Commodore-64... I was so envious of those rich-kids who had the C-128 version. As for Radio Scrap, they are still around, we just call it the Source now.

    Gayan Lakshantha is a SCAM

    YouTube channel Forex Automated Trading Tools is a SCAMMER. How was this not obvious though? Be happy about it, and be thankful you learned a lesson so cheap. Many others paid the $4k for that RagingBull.com bullshit... You got off relatively lightly.

    Star Trader Laurie Inman now Bankrupt

    Star Trader? But... don't you need to blow up at least two hedge funds for that kind of status? Come on now, Brian Hunter not just brew up Amaranth, but also came close to doing so with his former employer as well (which got him fired). And let's not forget, he also caused one of his opponents...

    Anyone had a short recalled on them?

    When does recall typically happen, if at all? Countless of times, and many reasons. There are quite some humbled traders who have gone wrekt when a Broker, Clearing House, or Government Regulation Agency suddenly announced a particular instrument is no longer marginable.. How now brown cow...

    Old blast from the past book...

    the Nasdaq trader's toolkit Earlier this year I found a book at a thrift shop that while it looked brand new (never read), definitely is dated as it goes back to the era of Island and when SuperNOES was a NEW & upcoming thing. Written by a former Nasdaq market maker, I still found it quite...
