As you're missing the point entirely, I have to presume you are young. The PRIMARY reason for the 2nd Amendment is a deterrent against oppressive government... our own included. More "guns on the street" won't impact that. Our Leftist government wants to disarm us. If they can do so, they...

Read story on line about some woman in CA who had refi'd her home over and over... taking $1.4MM in cash-outs. Then when prices collapsed, she just walked. (Non-recourse on home mortgates in CA... apparently applies to refis too.) Murica. What a country!

How much to risk? How much should/must you risk? In part those are logistic questions. Bill O'Neill, legendary financial guy... advised, "risking no more than 8% on a stock play". If you go along with that and you have a portfolio, you're working with the logistics of managing all of your...

I may have it over-simplified, but it always seems to me the peaks and vallies of consumer confidence occur with the peaks and troughs of stock prices. IOW... stocks up? Consumer confident. Stocks down? Not so confident. Redundant... not worth much.

Likely made it an "illegal contribution" to the IRA then. In addition, by the broker having to settle up on the trade before collecting from the customer, the customer has used "margin" in his IRA. That is prohibited. Therefore, the tax deferral is forfeit with income tax due on 100% of the...

Broker's discretion, I believe. I don't think there is a regulation prohibiting put writing in IRA.

How do you make it impossible for a determined whack-job to get a gun illegally?? And even if there was a way to make it impossible for someone to get their hands on a gun, what do we do about protecting ourselves against "bad-guy government"? That's a big point. Our own Left-leaning...

No law is going to legislate evil away.

Writing naked options is risky enough that Fidelity won't allow it in IRA accounts.

Best way to learn to trade... have someone who's been successful teach* you. Not many of those around. *Lots around who say they will teach you.... for the right price.

Why should we be the first? Why should we even try? If "multiethnicity" is such a good thing, why isn't it being foisted around the world in all races and cultures? Who benefits and what is it that they want that makes the destruction of (white) America a desirable goal for them? And are we...

Some people hold up liquor stores, too. Both are criminal acts. American policy should not care whether immigrants feel burdened or disenfranchised. If they're not citizens, they shouldn't count nor be accommodated.

Immigrants have zero voting rights until they become citizens.

What's to "protect" with a covered call? Worried about a crash? Buy a put. (All of that "risk protection" can get expensive, however.)

The market doesn't GIVE ONE CRAP about any that! The market is "the market"... its price is the final arbiter of all things related.

You don't have to play anything with "2% daily volatility", nor do you have to tolerate that level of noise risk. For this time, "2% volatility" in the ES would be 54 points. If you need/want to risk that much, you obviously don't know what you're doing! Plus.... the "time" it takes to hit...

Correctamundo! By "1% positioning" I presume OP means "1% capital risk to the portfolio", not "position = 1% of the portfolio"(?). With a decent trading strategy, one can trade low-risk... by going 100% equity exposure with <1% stop. One can even have some leverage in the position and work...

Then you can be suspecious of me, Buckeroo. My capital was hard to come by, and I figured that if I "lost it all" I was out. Period. There would be "no restocking of capital... no 2nd chance". Therefore, I always traded with as tight of stops as I felt I could get away with. (Biggest...
