    Inflation: Who's lowering prices?

    According to J Powell, the fed will raise interest rates until Inflation comes back in line with ~3% expectations? I guess my question is: Who is going to lower their prices in order for that to happen? Gas station owners? Grocers? Restaurateurs? Home owners Landlords? Stockholders? Who goes...

    The market is only looking for a stimulus package?

    You may be right about the selling, probably after a big fake out to the upside. I still think people are covering long delta all the way to the election.

    Why is Solar Sector on fire?

    CNRG looks like a good mix of solar and green energy stock. So many solar stocks just doubled or tripled in the last 3 months. Curious if the move is over or only getting started. ENPH was a hundred bagger

    Which day do you pick when rolling over index futures?

    I think it has less to do with the day and more to do with the volume and open interest. I keep two windows open for a week or so. One with the front month expiring and one with the next time period out. I want to be out of the front contract before it becomes illiquid. If your futures are part...

    Does this ultimately make your stops tighter during a time when markets can be choppy and volatile. Probably the worse market state to trade with tight stops. Price spikes depleting accounts one slash at a time.

    The Importance of How You Place Your Stop

    Placed stops at entry are subject to spike risk. The price touches the stop, then goes right back to your entry. Spiked. If the price moves through your stop and continues with momentum, you would be glad you had it sitting there. Stop on close does not get spiked, but you have the momentum...
