You should be trading based on the stockchart and not the theoretical values you see on your computer screen. The reason this is flawed is you do not know how far a stock will run up or drop for that matter. Like someone said, "trade what you see" not what you hope for. You do not have control...

When you sell a covered call, you have an obligation to deliver the shares if called at anytime before or on the expiration date. In addition, if the stock drops a lot beyond the premium you received for selling the call, you take a huge loss on it. You can buy back the option at any time before...

What if it gaps down instead and you are down $10 or $20 on the stock and collect how much $2 in premium? That would make sense if the stock does not go down. If it drops a tiny bit, and your premium can cover the loss. Other times, you take a huge loss.

For one thing, since, this is an OTM call option, the premiums you collect will be small relative to the risk. The risk being your stock dropping far below the cost of the premium which gives you a very limited amount of downside protection if at all. So, you end up losing monies. Another of the...

It happens more often than most people realize. I trade mostly options and lots of times, my order is the lowest asked price and market makers match my price and I am at the bottom of the heap. Never mind that I was there first in line and offered that price first! That is the reality of it...

For all the whining about tariffs, why buy any Chinese products? Most Chinese products are manufactured by other Asian countries as well. The fastest resolution to this trade war with China is for majority of Americans to Buy American where available. If the product is no longer Made in the USA...

Subsidies are temporary to help our farmers stay solvent until the trade wars end one way or the other. If the Chinese were to win out, they will offer lesser prices for soybeans produced in the US. Time to see if there is demand from other countries. If not, I do not see why our farmers cannot...

That is the dirty little secret of Socialists and Communists. The rank and file are all gullible sheep that everyone is equal and gets the same slice of the pie. Truth is those at the very top, enjoy the spoils, are filthy rich, well feed, live luxuriously. Those at the bottom as their minion...

Here is one more liberal judge legislating from the bench. These guys need to be removed from office if they cannot do their jobs to just interpret the law! If they do not like it, do the right thing and quit! One more reason to urge President Donald Trump to fill all vacancies in the lower...

Yeah, I doubt he is going to win in 2020. Democrats might pass a similar measure and I am sure he will push for it because he has to tout something in the debates. Otherwise, what has he done all these years as a Senator?

It will hurt the retail traders and investors first and foremost. Big investors and hedge funds with their politician buddies will just add more tax loopholes to the tax code to nullify it affecting them! Pension funds with employees 401K and IRA will also, take a hit! On the plus side, that...

All Nancy Pelosi is doing is grandstanding. What are the Democrats going to run on when the next Presidential elections is about 1 1/2 years from now? That is right. They tried to impeach President Donald Trump? What have done all these time? Nothing. Let us wait what the US voters has to say...

They knew it was a bogus dossier which was the basis of the FISA warrant. In spite of that, they used the bogus dossier to spy on Donald Trump. That application for a warrant was never reviewed but, signed on by Loretta Lynch. Later on, a judge was made to sign it! There are a lot of...

The liberal trolls are talking about the electoral college which is why they want to abolish it!

Democrats have been aching to impeach President Donald Trump. What are they waiting for? They say he is guilty and they have decided that on their own, judge, jury and executioner. So, boys, bring it on! I imagine that House Resolution would die in the House and then, the Democrats will...

Never understood that stupidity! Liberal Jews fight Anti-Semitism but, let fellow liberals say Anti-Semitic remarks and ignore them? They hate President Trump who is the most Pro-Israel US President ever? And the radical Islamists will actually, murder Jews just because of their hate! Have they...

Using proper position size allows you to be more relaxed trading. One trade is not more important than the next trade. Remember too that if you have 5 trades, you do not know ahead of time which would be the biggest winner. So, you cannot load up on one trade at the expense of the others. Not...

Buy and Hold is pretty much like Warren Buffett, buy the stock and hold onto it. Check back in 25 years and see how you have done. Position trading, you have rules, probably, stop losses on where to get out when hit. Although, longer term trading, you will be taking profits somewhere along the...

It is going to be Hillary Clinton. They are going to say none of the progressives like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke nor Joe Biden with his touchy feely videos all over Twitter and the internet is going to be good enough! And when she declares that she is running, the dirt on...

I was just referring to what he said that I thought was insightful and had value. Did not buy anything from him. Not recommending the guy or his methodology. Do not see any value in paying for trading education from this guy. What I learned about trading, I learned on my own. Of course, I made a...
