    Is this the most volatile market ever? I think so.

    Chicken littles running around again with their heads cut off. The more you panic, the more you lose. Retail traders (sardines) being swallowed whole by the hedge funds, banks, brokers (sharks). This is way too easy but, sad really. I feel for the average American with 401Ks and IRAs, for the ET...

    What is all this crap about a brokered Democrat convention?

    Looks like the Globalist Wing got everyone lined up behind Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders is toast. Even if Joe Biden does not have 1,991 delegates going into the Democrat convention, they will get the other losers delegates and give it all to Joe Biden to put him over the top in the first ballot.

    Best way to protect/insure position...Options strategy (which one) or other method?

    There is no cheaper alternative. Common sense dictates you use proper risk management and risk no more than 2% per trade. In that case, if you took 5 positions, the most you would lose is 10% of your capital assuming you lose all 5 trades. Since, you are risking 100% of your capital, you are...

    Biden 2020

    If Bernie Sanders does not ask Joe Biden about his and Hunter Biden's Ukraine activities, I am sure President Donald Trump will ask him in the debates. He is really going to blow his top but, won't be able to answer. The more outraged Joe Biden gets, the more President Donald Trump will prod him...

    Best way to protect/insure position...Options strategy (which one) or other method?

    You are gambling if you put all your monies at risk. Much like going to Las Vegas and hoping to win a lot. That said, if you want to go that route, you would have to insure it with put options at that strike price. Say XYX stock, you put in $500,000 and you have 1,000 shares at $500. You would...

    Tax relief measures just because stock market is down. Enough of this foolishness!!!!!

    Funny, extreme liberals against government intervention when it does not suit their agendas. They are fine with Obamacare and Medicare for all yet, do not care about fellow Americans who work in airlines, cruise lines or even retail who stand to lose jobs over the Corona Virus? Careful...

    Biden 2020

    Amazing. Quid Pro Quo Joe Biden about to score the knockout punch on Bernie Sanders today. Let us see if he can finish the job and put down the Socialist in Chief Bernie Sanders. He forgot to send Pocahontas Warren to fire up the smoke signals asking for help? It might be a Tuesday night...

    Tax relief measures just because stock market is down. Enough of this foolishness!!!!!

    Never understood the logic that if I have more monies in my pockets due to less taxes that, it is a bad thing? It is only bad for the idiot Socialists who always want to spend other people's monies. Without that power, you take that power out of the idiot Socialists, they got nothing. And the...

    Are we now in "safe" bear market?

    Ended up closing two trades today, one small loser, one decent winner. Not the best of days, not the worst either. On the plus side, I can place two new trades tomorrow. Lots of trading opportunities out there still.

    Sit on Hands, when risk per trade is too big?

    You should be looking at multiple trades so that, you have a couple to choose from. Not every stock will have the same risk to reward ratios. Over time, by being disciplined, you will do so much better because you stuck to your rules.

    Trump’s Approval Rating Over His Handling Coronavirus Is Crashing Down, Down, Down…

    And with the Democrats open door policy on illegals (foreigners) on our borders, you would have hordes of infected Corona Virus victims flooding into the US because they figure that they will be treated for "free" in the US and receive the best treatment possible? It would be full out pandemic...

    Trump’s Approval Rating Over His Handling Coronavirus Is Crashing Down, Down, Down…

    Let us imagine for a moment that Bernie Sanders was President of the US and he had to deal with the Corona Virus. With his Medicare for All, there will be very few if any doctors left. So, what to do? He tells the head of his liberal media propaganda that for people not to panic and we have...

    DOW futures down 800

    I am trading this market and even before the Corona Virus. If I do not see any trade I like, I do not do anything. Nobody is forcing you to trade. Most traders have the tendency to overtrade. I cut my number of trades and accuracy has gone up. Agree with Dozu888, lots of chicken littles on the...

    DOW futures down 800

    People who know how the game is played has already taken short positions. Do you see the CNBC, Bloomberg boys tell you to short the market? How many are telling you to buy? ET trolls have no clue which is good. Some retail traders need to be fed to the sharks. When the sharks feed, smart retail...

    Panic buying might help support the economy if CoronaVirus dies out.

    There is actually, a whole lot of opportunities and new industries involved in healthcare will prosper. People will pay for anything that preserves their health. This too shall pass when a vaccine is put out on the market. Atleast, 12 companies are reported developing vaccines for the Corona...

    Putting unused money to work!!

    If you are a trader, risk management should be job number 1. What does it entail? Risk no more than 2% per trade. Personally, I do not risk more than 10% of my monies at any given time and limit myself to 5 trades total. Having your monies in cash is a position. Of course, you want your monies...

    Russia, US, oil price and the $ shortage

    Yeah, because Russia like Saudi Arabia is not a major oil producer so, let us slash our throats and cut production so that, we lose market share like Saudi Arabia? And when prices rise, US shale oil producers will be selling more oil as well. China as an oil major consumer is not buying more oil...

    Where is Truth in the Markets today?

    When those in media induce panic and retail traders swallow that, hook, line and sinker, you do not have even a 1% chance of coming out ahead. Hedge fund CEOs, banks, brokers love to take that easy monies. A friend, who is a doctor lost $50,000 from her retirement account, chased it back up to...

    No way to lose money trading in options

    Upside is if the underlying stock moves a huge amount, say $20 in either way, you will make monies net the cost of both options premiums. If the stock moves in a trading range and not a huge amount, you now have two losing options positions to close. You lose on both the call option and put...
