Traded options spreads before and lost thousands. Why risk a lot to win very little in turn? Never understood the logic of that! People love the 70%-80% win rates don't they? However, how much return do you get 2-4%. When you lose and it is guaranteed that you will, you lose several multiples of...

Yeah, everyone wants something for nothing! There are no free gifts. "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." Is the maxim the Trojans learned when they brought the Trojan Horse in. And you cannot fight the big investors and hedge funds because they would just run you over and not miss a beat! Retail...

The trend on AAPL is up. That is all I need to know. Also, borrowing shares to short any stock is very risky. The risk to the upside is theoretically, unlimited. I use only put options when I short any stock. My risk limited to the cost of the premium. True, there is the expiration date but...

So, did you borrow shares of AAPL to short or did you buy put options on it? I am bullish on AAPL and look for it to continue running up! Only base my analysis on the stockchart.

Don't you find it strange that as soon as they damaged Roy Moore and cost him the election, all these women were quiet and vanished out of thin air? Remember all those women also, accusing Donald Trump? One of the so called accusers saying she was sexually harassed because Donald Trump made a...

Why do I feel you guys have very large short positions and you are hoping for a huge selloff? Reminds me of the Dot Com bubble. There was this stock EMLX where I had 100 shares and sitting on huge profits. A guy managed to fake a press release and sent the stock tanking at the market open. Of...

Over 30,000 homeless in Los Angeles alone. Feces and needles in San Francisco streets, huge budget deficits every single year, higher income taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes, real estate taxes, filthy rich extreme liberals who are out of touch and feel everything is hunky dory. After all, they are...

Talking in general terms. Most retail traders have trading models they use. Your method would depend on what kind of a trader you are: day trader, swing trader, position trader, scalper, etc.

The setups apply whether it is a 5 minute chart or 2 minute chart or whatever duration. It does not really matter.

Even the best setups fail. There is no such thing as 100% accuracy. That is fact. Thomas Bulkowski analzyed the different chart patterns and a lot of them are at 51% or 52% accuracy. Imagine what would happen to you if you have a trading model with 70% accuracy and you think you are untouchable...

Maybe, the buyer decided to exercise it last Thursday when the prices dipped below $27.50. Whatever, his reason, if it is in the money, he can exercise it at any time. Probably, just posted late by your broker. In any case, you did better so, no big deal.

Democrats would have you believe that there are no criminals among those illegally crossing the US borders and there is no crisis. Yet, these same extreme liberals for all their hatred of guns, have armed bodyguards guarding their precious lives night and day, 24 hours, probably, paid for with...

It boils down to good customer service for Amazon. Compare that to Sears Roebuck where you have bad customer service. I was at Sears a couple of years back to buy a refrigerator. I see 3 customer service reps who just ignored me despite, me looking in their direction, more than one time and...

It makes perfect sense because a lot of it is self-serving. These guys are not about to give up free information that would actually benefit you. Disinformation would actually, benefit them for those sad saps who listen and believe what they say! Unfortunately, for those retail traders, they are...

When an article comes out on a study of the calls Goldman Sachs made on some stocks, when they said to buy, the stock tanked, and when they said to sell, the stock went up! That is all you need to know. The same goes for the hacks on CNBC preaching doom and gloom of late, talking about recession...

Julian Assange can do himself a great favor by providing proof that Seth Rich is the leaker. Remember the Russian hacking allegation goes by the wayside. Not that, William Binney NSA expert already confirmed no hacking could have happened. The computer printouts on the download speeds was too...

You think that is bad. California is even far worst! State income taxes as much as 13%, vehicle license fees have increased to a couple of hundred dollars even for very old cars, property taxes sky high, rent sky high, sales taxes 10.50%, gas taxes being $0.58 per gallon on top of $0.184 per...

The only plus if Julian Assange is tried in the US is he will have the benefit of the doubt and an impartial jury can be convened! However, that may do him no good. His life probably, will be in grave danger. Too many bad actors would want him gone!

Your question is vague. Are you talking about getting a smaller refund compared to last year? Or your gross income where you earned more in 2018 compared to 2017? The only figure that matters is the tax rate as a percentage of your income. Turbotax has a feature where the instruction sheet has a...

Lebron James assembled good players around him like Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and went out of his way to chase them. Would he have won a title with the Miami Heat without those players? He is doing the same thing for the Los Angeles Lakers so, he can claim he brought a championship to Los...
