Just wanted to jump in, and I'm not defending anyone or slamming anyone, but the bears have to be scratching their heads at this point in the game. Maybe, that just where we get a major correction as well, time will tell. One thing for sure, if you think a 5.25 handle on the 10 year is too...

To the O.P., My experience with candles has been very positive and fulfilling. I think if you are just starting out and want a nice overview, the source that I have found that paid for itself within the first trade I made, Steve Nison's "Beyond Candlesticks", is as good a place to start as...

Possibly just more celebrity chic that's proliferating the world of finance these days. After all, actors seem to be popular politicians, why not ball players as financial gurus. I read and followed through his Dow Chemicals play (DOW) and boy you had to play it just right to be profitable...

a link to articles by Lenny Dykstra (famous Mets baseball player) and his "Deep In the Money" options strategy and calls. I'm not advocating anything in these articles, just thought it was a nice, easy way to access a series regarding options. Just one strategy amongst many, some may find it...

Thanks for the usolicited advice and moral judgement "coach". The point is, more than adequate answers were given, the "cubicle slave" was just prying and being nosey for self-intrests. Self-employed in financial invesment is more than sufficient for insurance purposes, especially since...

Lately, I have had to "deal" more and more with this question, not from friends (that was several years ago), but from insurance and credit companies. I recently switched my auto insurance for a better rate and had to go into the fact that I don't have to use my cars to drive to work since I...

Most engineers are worse than Dilberts and I don't know why so many here give them so much credit. They're just typical professionals, not very good at much more than their area of study/expertise, and forget anything about creativity. Have yet to meet any engineer I'd describe as a...

take a look at CME for starters.

Green Mountain Coffee. you're welcome. :D

Will probably be married next year, future wife is hip to the idea. She even did a Spanish language immersion study for a month in Costa Rica and lived there with a family. It's not that hard to do, you just have to be able to make a living off your trading and detach from the...

hopefully will be splitting time in near future between Costa Rica and Florida. I would love to try Argentina as well. Have a couple of loose ends to tie up, but will definitely be trading at least 3-4 months per year outside the U.S. I am also very interested in Eastern Europe. Traveled...

Sure you can sell further out and get more premium, but more time for things to go wrong as well. What is the percentage of return you are looking for utilizing this strategy? Many times you can sell one month out more times and make a higher percentage of return in the long run. If you...

I would go with the spread personally unless you have a better/more clear thought as to how far and how fast/slow the bearish move will take place. If you anticipate a downward draft to the underlying (downward moves usually happen faster than upward as a rule of thumb) and can watch/baby sit...

There is only one way to trade and think of a collar strategy and it is implied in the strategy's name. Collars are done to lock in profits while protecting from downside risk. You wouldn't want to collar any stock unless you are bearish or have nice profits and want to protect. Many times...

In reality anytime anyone states they have the "only way to go" in reference to any financial investing, it's usually a farce. Anyone that has traded options for any length of time will tell you that, yes, they do have favorite strategies that they are more comfortable with than others, but...

It already exists, it's called the commodities markets....:D Just some humor

thanks for the holy grail! :D

10 year has almost a 5 handle and only looks to be climbing. Many reasons to head to the sidelines right now and sit this one out. I'm getting over 4% in a money market right now and don't even have to lock in for any length of time. The Fed. doesn't even look like they're going to...
