If you believe and we we're in fact in a "bull market correction", that would be a constructive play. If we're really in a BIG BEAR market, you'd be too early and regret not saving your buying power for later.... just my $.02 Personally, I'm not onboard with those who pontificate, "the bear...

All in the SP500 is going to be too broad to be effective as it could be. If many of us have "eyes on the market" (the market is too big for all of us to do a good job of "following everything")... and some of us come up with 2-5 stocks they think have big potential... then we can evaluate all...

Obvious effort is to short the right stocks, ETFs, put options... also to buy the inverse ETFs. Still lots of risk in this market, but by the time the smashola bottoms, nearly all of the risk will have been washed out. The safe play is to hold lots of cash and be patient for the decline. Of...

Let me suggest we all make a list of stocks we might buy for BIG gains after the coming recession/washout. This list should be ongoing... add a stock to your "follow" list when you run across one that looks like it might be promising. Then after the crash, we can post our favorites for all to...

My bad... I meant to ask about "SPX options vs SPY options"..

QQQ/TQQQ, XLK, SMH... as a starting point.

Quick thumbnail summary? Link? Tks.

The people genuinely "in the know"... KNEW the shots were ineffective and caused death and injury.... denied all evidence to the contrary. And they foisted them onto the public for political reasons. LOTS of people with blood on their hands. None of them should get a pass! :(

Is Fauci trying to "sneak outta Dodge" before the people wise up and come after him for a necktie party?? (Would be just like him, the little lying weasel!) https://www.zerohedge.com/political/republicans-vow-investigate-fauci-despite-convenient-retirement

Just like the government... who "sucks the blood" out of taxpayers... just "because they can"... and nobody can put a stop to it. :(

The actual trading cost-per-trade is the sum of commission, exchange fees, spread, and slippage. Some "costs" get disguised among those. "Everybody along the way" needs to "get paid" to stay in business... and they all do. So... costs can overwhelm attempts at scalping... should playing for...

Just off the top of my head... and I could be totally wrong... but the US Regulators have prohibited CFDs for American markets.

Don't know for sure, but probably no. Tax rules were changed a few years ago to limit "itemized deductions" to the point that it's just easier to take the "standard deduction". I suppose some find a way around that, but I suspect they are few in number/percentage.

Is that "at expiration" or any time during the contract... say, with "weeks until expiring"?

Yes... all markets... all charts.... all time frames. Tried tic charts once... didn't like 'em. Too manic. You don't need to wait for a bar to be completed, you know.

How much lower, would you guess? Is there a "rule of thumb" about how far an option usually needs to go ITM before it gets exercised?

This kind of stuff goes on every day. When you learn to read it you can play it with low risk. (It's not always so "clearly indicated" but most of the time it is for at least part of the day.)

Would be nice to know at what price they were called relative to the strike(s). Might it have been <$1/share? Also... no assurance the stock was going to rise further after being called. What if the shares had tanked after exercise... would she still be entitled to compensation simply because...

No, they didn't "swindle" her out of anything. She got the money from having her shares called, and she could have bought them back immediately if she wanted. Correct on this point.

The trader's objective is to "have your money in tune with the market's moves" as best you can. With Price TA, you can see... 1. Support and Resistance 2. When the market is in buy or sell mode and when/where that changes. 3. What else is there to know? With all that you can hopefully pick...
