Don't buy cheap stocks and hope they go up. Buy expensive stocks and watch them go up. You should sit on some TSLA for now also.

I can do 20% on $2.5MM easily with only $500K at risk trading options. Edit: I'd love to hear input on why people are scared of options.

You have over $500K? Take $50K and setup a margin account. Follow my trades for the next year while you work. Trade it while working if you can. When you turn the $50K into $250K you can quit your job and trade full time and work as a white

Not really a programmer but was in a similar stream. I trade stocks/options now. I worked really well with excel sheets (macros) and was able to calculate an edge from watching data which was available to me. Maybe your work has a prob

In Toronto you can get some amazing developers for half the price of the U.S. A lot of the really good workers despise the U.S. so much, especially right now because of Trump, that you can steal all the rock stars for your startup by offeri

I used to be a wage worker however when I transitioned to this lifestyle it was weird. Sitting in front of a screen all day was annoying. Going to the gym helped. Happy hour at the bar. Teaching others are 3 of the best ways I found to add

I really recommend rethinking that. TSLA is the future of the market. Hold it forever.

10250 is about $300 on SPY. I don't think that's happening. Getting into TSLA tomorrow Oct 02 $450.00 Calls with $8.00 buy stops.

That's hard to answer because how much money do you have? Will you be getting the same amount of money? How would you live if that money wasn't available? But the more important thing is, do you want to have fun now? Do you want t

Are you considering this a correction and we are going lower? It's definitely a strong market right now. There is nothing bad happening except weak hands folding. Timing the market > Time in the market is my motto so your previous c

So I lost $800 per contract but I made $30,000 per contract on my last trade so does it affect me? Shit happens. You take your losses. Market is still fine. I don't know if your nice play comment was supposed to be some smart alec redd

With options you make more money selling the option before expiry so the out of the money will have more theta value so you will likely get paid more. Also if theta is higher and the cost of the contract is low, you are getting more for pre

The short interest has really gone down for TSLA significantly. It was double what it is now so I don't think short covering should push the market up, I'd presume the people who think Tesla is a fraud are going to get back in now

Thanks. I was really curious as to people with larger capital available and how they are rotating their money. In the last 3-months, I have had more private investors reach out to me with respect to allocating their capital and increasing r

Why do you think that the public markets are a bad investment right now? The public markets are a stock pickers market right now, so something like TSLA is going to outperform a lot of different investment options over the next 5-years.

With TSLA it may not work so well because TSLA has had a high short interest rate historically. So actually, after the split, if we see more shorts come in to drive TSLA down, we may get another substantial move up, hence I have $1000 targe

All my positions are always posted. My Discord is open.If you read my post, I did not say I made money on this drop, but I did see it coming, however, I am bullish, so I am not going to flip a switch on a whim. Look at all my posts in my #u

Yeah seriously. If someone knew why stocks are failing they would be rich. Similarly, why they are rising. The only reason is someone is buying and someone is selling, any other reason is to get clicks. Yesterday's drop you could see i

It would help make your argument. I'd like to hear about nasal rinse making you more healthy. All I see is a Joe Rogan podcast, if that's what you are referring to?

I'd be interested in something for a desktop. Currently, I have 3 monitors and having an extra 2 at the market open would be perfect then put away the headset after 30 minutes and just watch the market. If anyone has a recommendation.

I'm retail and if someone was front running me they would be broke by now. A lot of the brokers have terms where they trade against your position.

Then maybe add more because the market returns are suppose say 5%, but they are generally much more higher, around 10% over a 15-year period. Over 14-years that money doubles, but the market is performing at 10%, and even higher lately, so
