    Do you make decisions based on the number of contracts or a specific dollar amount to invest ?

    Thanks, I know there is a formula to determine risk but I have never used it. I was just wondering how often people use all the minute details available to make a decision instead of using a basic rule like a max of 10 contracts, 10 percent of your cash or a fixed dollar amount to risk on any...

    Do you make decisions based on the number of contracts or a specific dollar amount to invest ?

    I was just curious as to how many option contracts the average person buys when they make a trade. Do you normally average 1, 5, 10 contracts......or is it based on the cost of each contract and the level of your confidence in the trade? Or, instead of limiting yourself to X number of...

    Its time for Hillary to Drop out of the race

    Remember when she was participating in one of the debates and she left the stage to 'go to the little girls room' ? I wonder if it was a medical emergency she felt within herself and she went to the restroom to deal with it. Just an idea.....

    Its time for Hillary to Drop out of the race

    Yeah, he screwed up on that last play. But, it's hard to think on your feet like that when you only have 5 seconds left on the clock. Dak Prescott made a few mistakes but he did well considering he just graduated college in May. If he continues to improve, Romo might not have a job in November.

    Its time for Hillary to Drop out of the race

    If they nominated Biden or even Sanders to replace Hillary over Kaine........that would be a major smack in the face for Kaine. They would basically be saying that they don't trust him. If he is not fit for the presidency then he is not fit to be V.P. If the Democrats don't have confidence in...

    Its time for Hillary to Drop out of the race

    Her or Bill. He looks so pale and shallow. His mind is sharp but his eyes are hollow and his complexion is pale. I don't think he has too much longer either. But don't cry, we still have Chelsea.

    JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: It's Time to Raise Rates

    Well, the FED Funds Rate is .25 % right now. Raising it to .5 % is not going to impact the economy. And if the economy slips in the future you still have that .25% to play with. If any business suffers because rates are raised from .25 to .5% or even 1%....it won't be interest rates that...

    The Priest Who Moonlights as a Hedge-Fund Manager

    As long as he had the training and the background, sure.....but I wouldn't invest with him just because he was a priest and a nice guy. And I'd check his background on FINRA to make sure he was registered. Barry Minkow was not a priest but he fleeced his flock.....he is the clown that had a...

    Yes, I saw that. Previously, I just added up all the institutional investors that I found on a site. I guess they just listed the major ones. But.....what is more likely in a declining market...... are institutional investors more likely to stick with their investments or are individuals...

    Buckle up Guys its starting

    Because Yellen was appointed by Obama and she is not going to do anything that would jeopardize the Democrats winning the election, especially considering that it is so close. If the FED raised rates this month or next, it would (potentially) cause the market to drop and this would have a...
