I like to read FT in the morning for a global perspective on what's going on (plus that's what global macro managers read, so I can be at least similarly informed).

After that, I hop onto the Bloomberg and load up my macro launchpad. I like to see global markets (equity indices/futures, rates, FX, commodities, etc.) and then see if any major economic data has been released.

Quite similar to my morning routine.

somebody is going to reply that news is not needed. Price action can make billions.

Thank you for saying that.


actually, almost all the news is meant for investors & not traders.
Also, professional writers tend to be very slow in publishing their news.

So traders should avoid reading such news.
If we do want to read, read with a pinch of salt, or with our eyes closed.

I’ve been bagholding BB calls for about 6 months so I’d love those fuckers to pump it up haha.

Expiry? How far out do you buy your options?

depends on how they are priced but I usually shoot for 3m-1y.

With BB rocketing up after hours right now, currently +15%, and elevated IV, there's a chance you'll be in the money by open tomorrow morning!

only down 50% on my BB position today instead of 90% haha.

You're up 400% on your BB position since yesterday!

Roll it into AMC?

naaaaahhhh I think BB has a solid chance right now with the overall meme pump that's going on...lots of retails experiencing FOMO right now buying BB only because $/share is lower than AMC.
