Notice that you assumed my definition of untruthfulness was targeted at Kavanaugh without me saying so. I think you made my point.

Law enforcement interrogators learn that one of the key signs someone is being untruthful is when they go into elaborate explanations in answer to a simple question. Think about that in terms of both Kavanaugh and Ford's responses today.

Because options are derivative of an underlying instrument, you should first be successful in trading the underlying. What happens with the underlying will impact the movement and timing of the option, and often in ways you may not expect. You'll also need to face additional costs of options...

"Simple put writing" is a non sequitur.

Good answer. Nice to know there are still a couple adults in the room.

Benson's book was kind of a reaction to the TM 'movement', which took a really simple and effective technique and built a belief-system around it. Thus, when people ask me what meditation is all about, I follow his suggestion just to pick a simple sound/word, and "One" works as well as...

You should be. Spreads and commissions are a huge cost over time. Remember, that like any casino, in trading the house has the edge. And it can be a big one.

I like that question! And yes, if one of the pins (or trades) is off by an inch, regular meditation will help you adapt. That's precisely what it does. It helps to give you perspective.

Meditation, if done regularly, can prepare the mind for any activity. It has nothing specifically, but everything generally, to do with trading. In a previous life I was a teacher of TM. So I'll give you a sense of it. TM involves a mantra, which is just a simple word/sound. You can get...

Setting aside other issues such as platform, performance, and other fees, $4.95 depends on what size you are trading. If trading small size, then there are better deals. If trading large size, it isn't bad.

I don't know your software so I can't endorse it...but the video is well done.

Send your question to InvestorRT: support@linnsoft.com One of your biggest issues is data. Naturally you'll need both equities and options, and the issue with the options data is that it's very difficult to rely on past data for a fill, given the wide spread in many equity options.

He managed to keep his mouth shut for 3 days. Something of a record. But he just couldn't get past the week.

I can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't want to see prices leading to the open.

1. Don't compare yourself to other traders. We each have our own path. 2. Your challenge is with yourself, not with others. 3. Always trade at your own comfort level. Learn to trust your gut.

You stand little chance of profiting by trading options unless your underlying is something that moves, and moves quickly. And except under rare circumstances, that does not include indexes that aren't leveraged. You need to embrace and welcome volatility if you are going to stand any chance...

I don't personally recommend long options as a primary trading vehicle under any circumstances other than trying to limit my downside in an overnight long position. But if you feel a burning desire, you may want to look at 3X ETFs/ETNs that trade good volume and tight spreads. Develop a system...

In the spirit of saving you a lot of time and aggravation, you won't consistently show profits on trading long calls and puts, unless you focus on just a few instruments and have one hell of a good system in place. The house has all the odds with long options, and the odds are squarely against...

You'll need to qualify for trader tax status to file as an LLC, which as you may know will require you to be extremely active, and to remain so. And you may want to seriously consider all the ramifications of involving your wife. I speak from experience. And Green Trader Tax is by far the...
