    Missed this downturn? Don't worry...it will bounce and we will ride it back down again! After going thru the financials, I find it hard to understand how this will survive... Try their service for a month and see if you want to continue paying...

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    Deja vu? In the weeks leading towards the August debt ceiling decision, the market barely flinched. It then began to sell off a few days prior and gathered steam after the debt ceiling was raised. Was the debt ceiling to blame for the sell off or was that the usual Aug/Sep dip? Debt...

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    Debt ceiling was lifted; wow, that was a big surprise! I'm not sure what it was a big deal; this ceiling has been lifted over the past decades! One thing for certain, unless the US reverses its current spending habits, the USD will keep on making new lows. No signals for the past week...

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    I'm not familiar with think or swim. I use IB myself. I wouldn't recommend anyone to trade option unless they know what they are getting into. I've been at this for a while and I don't use it a lot. The gains certainly are spectacular (like the AAPL trade)...but it can also ruin you very...

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    Everyone is different depending on their risk tolerance/capital and trading plan. I use different option strategies and/or go short it outright. Put options for NFLX at this point (depending on your time horizon) isn't as attractive as it was a few weeks ago. I'm not familiar with ELGX.

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    Hello T786... Everyone's mileage differs. While you may prefer to wait till 240; some of us won't. It appears that it has support at 255ish and that is where I'm intended to cover 3/4's of my short position. Wildcard here is if the market rallies with the debt ceiling resolution and take...

    Trading for a Living - the journey to self discovery

    Speaking about disciplines...or the lack of. My first big mistake. Entry was crappy as I didn't wait for it; exit was crappier with too tight of a stop. Even worse was trading a stock out of my watchlist...what was I thinking? Never again! $2100 loss...:mad: Bottom fishing ain't too...
