I wonder what would have happened if the markets were closed through expiration day? Extended expiration? SOL? (Looking at the calendar,...
It looks like they rate 80 advisory services. They charge a subscription fee ($99/month for one month). Anyone tried them? I'm thinking it...
Can you tell us your thinking? Or maybe you don't want all of us jumping in on your trades.
No, not a single stock. I'm talking about shorting put options on maybe 20 DJIA stocks, the ones with the fattest premiums. There would be a high,...
Unfortunately the market doesn't move according to what I think. :(
The last paragraph of the article sums it up pretty well: "All in all, there are easier and less complex ways of making more money with less...

Yeah, maybe I should close it. I was looking for support at around 32. It started up this morning then tanked. Thanks.
