Well yesterdays premarket gains weren’t taken yesterday but today. Same predictability. More down today before some up.

Those overnight futures will be sold quickly soon after open watch the drop. Market too predictable.

Insiders selling soon after open every day leave only crumbs. Then they sell tons of options. Why change?

Anybody had issues at open? Fidelity was a mess. As soon as the market stop rising (15’) then you could buy. They weren’t filling your order neither cancel it.

The famous belief of winning 0.05 % to 1% daily is only a fear instilling control method by those who run the market. If you don’t win 6% to 15% daily you simply don’t know what you are doing.

Thousands of reports out on the same minute the CPI came out. Our news media is super good right?

When to take your profit everything else is an illusion. Run.
Hi guys.

Hahaha. I know just making money lol. Today at open I saw the spread was so weird huge and waited for lower price calls and by when I bought market dropped so not a very nice day today in over three weeks. Very strange. I called fidelity and they said spread wasn’t big at all. What???!!!!
I’ve been hacked I guess.

I try to stay in touch. :)

Anyone knows why the big spread between bid and ask on QQQ yest and today at open? it was insane.

(This is sad or worse. From a banker friend of mine)

First off, you know everything is manipulated.
Just because 401k monies are being drafted from paychecks does not mean those funds are going into the markets. Those funds are going to fund managers which in return, allegedly they are going into the fund managers mutual funds, but that does not mean they are going into the market immediately or monthly or quarterly (tho quarterly is more likely for end of quarter “window dressing”. These fund managers have full discretion on when, how and who to place funds with. Blackrock is a perfect example, they make so many woke and veiled ESG investments it is ridiculous. That is why TX and LA are two states that are working on banning Blackrock from managing their state funds because they are against oil and gas and that is a major state revenue stream. Just because money is being drafted from a paycheck does not mean it is going into the market immediately or at all. I doubt people are more aggressive than I am, but I have taken multiple loans from my 401k and placed those funds in cash and physical silver which is up about 25% and I can pay back those loans (of my money!) anytime I want to and I paid a very small % fee to do it. The funds I cannot move without generating a taxable event are in cash or in Silver ETFs like SLV or PSLV.

They’re running same strips e day. What’s going on?

Negative what?

If we don’t go back down in a few minutes we will leave shorts in the dust. Watch out all.

Call loading time?

No cigar. Just tried a few lottos. Good evening.

TA shows Calls to end day. Things change :)

What’s long term? Often one minute is a long time. Life is too short lol

Done. Sold more calls. It looks like they will bring it down after a strong up to finish down eod. My take but I can’t come back today. Make a profit!

TA seemed up to me at open and bought and sold large calls. Seating on half my powder for later. Good luck e one.

Not really. If I invest 10k why do I have to leave it there forever? Am I wrong for investing it just a few minutes?

What’s different is the mentality. You call it what you want.

It’s “half a day-investing,” or “one hour-investing,” or “a few minutes-investing.” An investment advisor at Schwab told me decades ago, “don’t hold anything over night. Sell before close.” Imagine, an investment advisor! Well, it also took me decades for me to do it because the mantra thrown out to us forever was “buy and hold”.

Some things have changed. The country wasn’t under 30 some T debt and almost 2 T annual deficit. Yet some still believe in buy and hold. We have to choose.

Sorry I was shopping for dinner :) I saw TA pointing down before eod but I didn’t check here. It went down w a fury. Hope you did well.

Wow markets red. I suspected this because of what I said earlier. Market had gone up before Powell and that’s unusual. Got to fight greed every moment.

Got and sold lotto calls couldn’t help it. TA was kind of easy. 50% profit.

Looking at TA to me is bullish for a while today. Just my two cents worth.

Market today went up a lot before Powell speaks. Watch out. Usually is flat. But again anything can happen.

Sold all calls nice profit. I’m not here for the craziness up and down w Powell :)

Done. Good luck all.

Every one trapped. I’m heavy on calls now got rid of puts.

Almost got calls AHs. 11’ after close. I’ll regret it.

If SPY one-year resistance comes in 15 more points then better have both puts and calls and wait for break up or reversal to load more on either side.

:) :)

Do you mean knowledge for skill? Because I rather have the knowledge first then the skill.

Done 7 trades two hedging losers 5 winners dine. Very Bullish day so far. Good luck all.

Bought and sold calls.

Reading posters and financial news you would think the market will drop today 100% :)

Long bottom :) calls

It looks like a bottom ending forming right now.

What I would do in that case buy 1:1 ratio and soon after decisive moment add in that direction they choose. I’m just saying. Anyway that’s what I do at open and Monday it’ll be the same. Let’s see how it evolves.

Comment (a bit long watch out) A lot of guys -including me in the past for many years- believe that economy or stock market control is a bad thing and spend their lifetimes bitching and fighting it always against “those” who are in charge. Never knowing who really is in charge making the big decisions or pulling the strings.
Well, someone, or many people, have to be in charge. Like in anything. And that’s the way it is.

Why bad? As I always thought. Bad because market has to go down and up with me never knowing when? Or bad because some people benefit more that me? Just bad I used to say. Did I think that it is also good for millions of investors? No.

Well, now I don’t fight anyone and I’m not against “those” who are in charge. I don’t even care now. I used to fight ghosts, the wind, and no one turning blue and losing much more money than winning.

All I care now is UNDERSTANDING where we are headed. And winning.

I know this is too long but I hope you don’t waste your energy and mind but use it wi$ely. I’m neither an insider nor a supporter of anyone.

Good trades.

I did it in last spike and got lucky. I’m done. Good weekend all.
