    Any advice for my poorly designed options trading strategy

    #1, I looked at the difference in cost to enter the spreads at the same levels, but different expirations and didn't see that much of a difference in cost. I figured it was like getting free time. Obviously, it's severly handicapped my ability to make money in the short-term. I tend to be...

    Any advice for my poorly designed options trading strategy

    I appreciate everyone's well thought out advice for me. Just so you know I am not completely full of shit and I actually did put this trade on. I should probably sit in the corner of the room with a dunce cap for using 09 calls on INTC.

    Global Carbon Fiber Shortage and I want to PROFIT off of it

    I totally missed out on the runs TIE and ATI have had. My friends at BA and IR tell me the Ti shortage is worse then the carbon and there's no additional production to go online. No excuse.

    Global Carbon Fiber Shortage and I want to PROFIT off of it

    Dry fiber keeps "OK." It gets more difficult to work with when it ages. When your living depends on it, you buy what you can buy. Pre-preg, fiber with resin film applied, what aerospace uses, does not keep for longer then 1 year usually and that is if stored inside a freezer. FYI, I have...

    Global Carbon Fiber Shortage and I want to PROFIT off of it

    In case anyone is curious I ended up buying $10 december calls for both ZOLT and HXL($20 strike for HXL). Just a heads up to all you guys, you might want to keep an eye on ZOLT tomorrow. It was pushing $10/share HARD friday. Last time it broke through $10, it moved fast towards $12...

    Anyone been successful with Generic?

    We talked about doing a retail account, but I don't have $25k cash which is their minimum for retail. I think retail there has 10:1 or 5:1 leverage vs 2:1 where I'm at now.
