In other words, Democrats have other ways to profit from Covid, not just politically?

Speaking of Chicken Pox, many who had Chicken Pox get shingles later in life, with a possible correlation with immunological stress. Hopefully long term survivors of Covid will not be facing a similar situation. As it is, people often get sick after being subjected to sustained lowered body...

What is not a load of piss is my roommate says that four co-workers of his, all air cargo handlers at DFW, died of Covid. He had a somewhat bad case of Covid himself, Not too far away, the founder of Texas Roadhouse restaurant killed himself because of Covid complications: Texas Roadhouse...

Have people become immune to colds or the flu? There are four major Covid variants since Covid-Sars2 (Wuhan) hit the scene 18 months ago, itself a variant. So the average time for a new variant is 4.5 months and the vaccine for Covid-Sar2 took 12 months to develop. Like with influenza...

Interesting trading week, although I still am down overall. Top of mind is “Where to” for equities from here? Friday was “Quadruple Witching” with quarterly expiration of June equity futures and various option series potentially being responsible for the unusually large range in equities...

Completed one hour of exercise on my mountain bike, reviewed my watchlist on multiple time frame charts, but was weak on planning the trading day, so I sort of fulfilled my trading prerequisites. Notably, my metabolism seemed higher for about 24 hours the last time I rode my mountain bike...

Met my self imposed trading prerequisites this morning by riding my new mountain bike for an hour (Actually just after my one and only trade for the day), said my trading affirmations, reviewed news on a news aggregation site, and extensively studied charts involving multiple time frames. Only...

Bad trading day for me. Started out with a video game type trade on mini silver that was based on my feeling the price was cheap because it corrected more than I thought it would and I was eager to buy rather than be guided by any actual setup. Then I mismanaged the trade after I got in and...

Today was my first trading day since my last performance update on May 7th. I withdrew $50k from my account to help me get approved for a business line of credit with the eventual goal of establishing various “Warehouse” lines of credit for short term funding of select commercial loans...

I would be honored to be your friend. I remember being curious about Shadowbane, but opted for EverquestII myself, although have not played for years. Although most of my time is “Over subscribed” as it is, I could squeeze in some gameplay, especially if I spend less time on social media!

I’m surprised to see such a mean post from you. The man said he sure could use some friends right now, and you are beating him up. I’ve never read an over the top post by Saltynuts, although admittedly, my threshold might be considered quite high! Now as far as the handle Saltynuts is concerned…

I sense desperation. I suspect if Bitcoin were to appreciably break $30,000, we would see forced liquidation in futures of a big player. If the SEC were to launch an investigation into MSTR and or the entity offering to the finance MSTR’s purchase, that could be the catalyst to break $30,000...

You have said the open interest of particular strikes can change greatly over a short period of tine. As relative open interest is a major input in strike selection and timing for your pinning strategy, if you add DTE, you are effectively changing your focus, not that’s a bad thing. The...

Yes, a $400k earnings rate is extremely high for what I do. Although in some situations, if I were to drop the ball, a regional distribution center could be forced to shutdown, idling hundreds of truck drivers and adversely affecting deliveries to dozens of retail stores. Commercial loan...

My new career will be consulting and marketing in a mature industry that is currently experiencing severe structural deficiencies. Don’t want to be more specific than that right now, but it is not directly related to Wall Street. Thank you for your well wishes.

I like to think of myself as a person who collects trading edges. A person who moves from one idea, refines it, and then moves to another idea. Further, some of these edges compound each other. Working major overtime in a non financially related job interferes with trading continuity, but if...

As a purchaser of goods and services, mostly for trucking related business use, I can handle the greed. What I can’t handle are service failures, because it leads to my service failures, which in turn leads to service failures of my customers, which can end up going in a full circle. For...

It felt wrong, but I closed my vertical spread in silver because price reached X-ATR off a moving average. Silver reached about 10 ATR, a pretty rare event as far as shorter time frames go. I left more money on the table than I took. It is actually not that unusual for new trends in silver to...

Although I don’t want to get in the habit of day trading iron condors, my market outlook did change from morning to afternoon and am now concerned about range expansion. The question is, which direction? I think I’ll sit back and let the market decide. Depending on price action, I may either...

Who knows, but I am smelling a little fear. With ES off 1% from ATH? Some momentum tech traders are getting hit, I suppose. What is momentum tech without momentum? An investment? Grin.
