Options Education - Got a Website / Book / PDF You Like? Post It Up

[Overnight]

THERE we go; that's the ON I'm familiar with. All class, all the time.

By the way... if it's not too much of an ask... I bought some ON shares for my IRA, and it dropped like a rock. Would you call up your people and fix that shit, please? I mean sure, cute prank and all that, but - not cool, bro.

I don't trade stocks but am familiar with some symbols, but not this one so had to look it up. ON semiconductors? Based in Arizona. No idea what they do.

The 5Y chart looks great, but the YTD and 1Y charts look like crap. Unless they pay a dividend, GTFO of that noise, and put that money into a semi that is already down a lot, like NVDA! You can catch those cats at what is looking like a bottom.

I thought Option Alpha was a pretty good place for beginners to learn the basics.

But yesterday morning, I noticed that Youtube has pulled the plug on Option Alpha's account/channel, as in -- terminated. I bet OA is scrambling to try and get YT to reverse their decision.

The OA website is still up, but if they lose their video host...

Hi,
Scanner which shows only stocks with weekly options
I currently use a TWS scanner like this below which gives me a list of the biggest fallers and risers :
View attachment 256535

However, this lists a lot of stocks which don't fit my criteria. I am only interested in those stocks which have weekly options listed. I cannot seem to find a way to enforce that criteria to reduce the above list. I've searched for ways in the 'Add Field' below, but cannot find a suitable filter :

The only workaround I can think of is to create a watchlist of my own, and add in the 600 odd stocks that have weeklies.

Is there any other service (Barchart, etc?) which can provide a list of fallers/risers with weeklies?

I appreciate your posts, but why dogpile?

Here's a screenshot of dogpile that pops up over here with no ads.

If ddgo works better for you, maybe just copy the search term
e.g. Weekly options screener and plug that into ddg
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Weekly+options+screener

Used to post with ddg but one day all the links stopped working so went to Dogpile. If you happen across one of the old posts with ddg as the search engine, you will end up in nowhereville. Nothing more to it. As for cookies, the search terms are not dubious and are of no concern.

Am reading Artemis' The Hawk And The Serpent. Good stuff. Thanks for posting. It's amazing how many people believe that stocks and bonds have a negative correlation.

Here’s some moaaaaarrrrrr.. make sure you read all of Artemis Capital’s publishing’s (Chris Cole)..IMO one of the leading financial alchemists of our time. I enjoy his writings on optionality more than Taleb.
