    You ever watch the old thinkorswim lessons with Don Kaufman? He had a segment called “building inventory and managing risk” basically he’d have many many open strikes within the same products just at different strikes and expirations, and he would be constantly closing and redeploying capital...

    that’s amazing man. May I ask what specifically did you do? Like when the market started to “crash” around 2/25 were you already in the market? (Assuming you were), didn’t your already open puts get breached? Or no? Also what did you do strategically as the market continued to implode and the...

So this whole buy the dip, sell the top phenomenon is “fairly” new. Before this bull market it wouldn’t of...

    Bobby makes these forums funny af. This thread is hilarious. Bobby, if you don't sell calls in bull markets, one would ask: would you sell puts in bear markets? And vice versa your strategy to the bear side?

    advantage to selling options?

    How do brokers keep clients from leaving?

    Thus when a customer calls demanding liquidating, what’s your sell? You can be vague I’m just gathering ideas on how brokers KEEP clients, I understand it’s the clients right to liquidate whenever, but I know there must be some tier or pitch the brokers use to maybe change the clients mind?
