One could have a lot of fun with a statement such as: "Inflation has risen largely due to transitory factors". Perhaps later, I will delve into it. Biden’s address to Congress tonight should provide some interesting quotes as well.

I would image either the equipment operator or a very nearby party who has knowledge of how the equipment works an or who understands optics in depth. Another possibility is the operation of other equipment unintentionally causing the illusion of an object. I have seen what can be done with...

Probably deliberate optical manipulation using glass and mirrors. Any radar contact information? Didn’t think so.

Hit 60% account utilization this week so far, although now flat. I am feeling more confident and comfortable taking risk. Still some risk management discipline problems, but there is an idea to help me with that: Print out a chart of lumber, annotate where my reversion to mean(RTM) setup...

Oh come on now, Fauci has cured the Covid version of the flu and the Fed has cured bear markets. Who could have anticipated this in 2010? Just because ES is in reversion to mean territory in 3 out of 4 major time frames I watch, doesn’t mean it has to correct, right? Besides, just a little...

What does GameStop do, again?

At least you give a fvck enough to post that you don’t give a fvck.

As a consolation, at least our conquerers will be competent.

Using a crisis or exaggerating a crisis as a basis for a power grab? Sure, why not? Who is the side that would be losing power? Is it the Republican Party? Is it us, through loss of individual freedoms? Will it ultimately be the many discontented, unproductive poor that bear the brunt of...

Was it in Bitcoin? There are big money interests associated with Bitcoin and “Greasing the palms” of a few potential influential detractors in an under regulated alternative form of payment is more than conceivable.

Talked with my roommate’s girlfriend this morning. She works at a chiropractor office and she took immunology classes in college. She said her patients that caught Covid, recovered, and returned were much harder to massage in their back area, even months after their “Recovery”. She believed...

I wonder how big the payoff was? India next up, I suppose.

It would be fun to create a thread comparing “To do” lists between Liberals and Conservatives. Perhaps in the jokes section.

Well, if realized volatility is greater than implied volatility then a long straddle should be profitable. I read that gamma scalpers can effect IVs and daily ranges, which is part of the basis for my reversion to mean setup. Also, having a long straddle on ES while IV is low can be used as a...

Actually, after buying the straddle, I’d be trading the underlying to return the position to delta neutrality as it deviated by a certain threshold. The act of returning the position to neutrality has the effect of buying low and selling high, which may yield an overall profit even if the...

I actually get 3 or 4 days to trade mostly uninterrupted next week. Planning to take full advantage and try out multiple strategies, from gamma scalping KO to non directional or semi directional setups with high volas like MARA. May even try a earnings play such as FB and a expiration play or...

I usually over complicate things. Certainly have with trading. I feel understanding multiple methodologies are helpful as market conditions change. For example, implied volatility is lower now than it has been in a long time, yet each of the last three trading days of last week had fairly...

After going over a bunch of scenarios, I realized how critical it is to protect a negative gamma position when using leverage in some form. Therefore, I will be committed to using defined risk strategies, especially on expected overnight positions. My directional synthetic trades require my...

Personally, there are very limited circumstances where I’ll add to a loser. For example, my position’s stop is close to being tested, when I consider my stop placement to be a significant “Line in the sand” that I expect to hold technically (As is usually the case), I have not reached my...

This is one poll I can believe, you prolific poll posting person, you! Biden has my approval as well, and this is coming from a Trump supporting trucker!
