My point was that exercise in itself is essentially meaningless - your risk profile doesn't change much at the point where it happens. Whether you...
Any time you write an option, you're open to assignment. Period. But it's not a "risk" unless you define profit as risk. Example from today: SPY...
If this is the average you're getting for 15 years of SPY returns, you'll need to recalculate....
I tried to dig into it, but I've got too few sources that I consider trustworthy (and too many distractions today. Argh.) Looking at price...
For someone who is simple, yes, that would be a possible interpretation. For anyone who reads for context or comprehension, it wouldn't be. As I...
You're wrong - and worse, appear to be hunting for a way not to be wrong by trying to shift the onus to me. Admitting that you're wrong,...
I won't go into all of your demonstrated damage, but your desperation in trying to project your psych issues on others makes you no longer worth...
I'm glad for your son. And I'm not saying that as some sarcastic rejoinder; I genuinely am glad when someone's relationships go right, or even...

You have a false assertion buried in there: that you have some "better" method for discovering those women. I would make a very large bet that you...

Feel free to name an approach that guarantees success. I've learned that some things require risking it all to make out-sized gains. And that...
I'm... highly ambivalent about the value of this, progressively more so as time goes on. IME, the most effective learning path is to find out the...
This has turned into "here's how to live right" rather than just a focus on trading - but I don't see any conflict in that, since trading takes......
THAT could, and should be expanded to points 2 through 1287. It is literally impossible for anyone starting out to even define what "absolute...
Shweet! (But do see the Shannon–Hartley theorem for why humor, unless heavily denotational, works poorly in text-only communication. :D)
Why not? Woolly-headed nonsense like astrology has zero rational basis behind it, and traders - successful ones, anyway - are rational people who...
If I'd made a movie of my early experiences in trading, people would die laughing. Upside-down verticals... painstakingly setting up stop market...
My second boat, the one before my Morgan 453, was a 34' Dutch steel ketch (pretty close to what they call a gouwzee in those parts.) Being a...
