Greg, you might want to add an addendum to this message..."This strategy is for intermediate to advance level traders." You're going to get these new guys slaughtered if they try to use advanced options strategies not knowing what they are doing.
When you're delivering information you leave way too much information OUT of your messages so these new guys can't get a good understanding of what you're talking about. Don't you read these comments?
I'm not being critical, I just don't want to see these new guys get slaughtered.
you got to do what you got to do to stay up with the game. Learn to trade or get off the bus. I don't want to sound like a jerk but you going to handle your business.
You are 100% correct, but I know a lot of these guys follow Greg blindly and they don't know how to trade so I kinda feel bad for them.
But then we're back to your original comment..they gotta "Learn to trade or get off the bus." Which is absolutely true, but I still feel bad for the pups.
I agree, everyone needs to be careful. Remember, Greg is just monetizing his content to make money from these platforms. The more posts he has, the more youtube videos, the more subscribers, the more money he makes. He talks about the same things over and over again because it generates traffic. When it comes down to it, his book is just scratching the surface. All of these concepts and strategies are explained all over the internet, however, putting them into practice is what takes skill. I'm sure he will eventually start posting trades again once his traffic analytics start going down. His videos are funny, but people come here to follow his trades. Without his trades it's just a bunch of prune dicks complaining about the apocalypse. hahahahahahahahaha
a-lot of uncertainty in options when you look many months out, the bids spreads are quite large, which is probably on purpose, this will control most people speculating.
Surprisingly bank stocks are up on this market down day. My BAC and WFC positions are winning. I'm tempted to close them but I need some winners to offset my loses in tech and precious metals. Though with the threat of rising interest rates, I might have to buy more banks.
Greg, it looks like you were right about crude and the financials in this bubble environment (for the time being). I bought two XLF Calls last week and they now have 324 days left till expiry. YES!
As suggested awhile back I am selling a put 3/26 JPM. Takes $11,500 in collateral to do so. When I check on how it is doing it is down $10...am I misunderstanding something on this?
Could someone please explain: if the economy is supposedly in freefall and manufacturing is dead, along with new unemployment claims are running around 800,000 a week, why are instruments like XLI and all its components on a trajectory to the moon?
I'm wondering why gdx and pfizer were all going alot higher today while Gregs stocker screener listed on his site both had strong sell arrows. Anyone have any ideas on this? I havent used it before.
It's as confusing as hell. Maybe one is giving a shorter lookout than the other? I'll bet that somewhere in the bowels of that thing there is an explanation of how it works if one we so inclined to dig for it. That's why I don't give much creedence to that thing.
All the cash has to go some where when your savings account is paying 0.01% per year.
Some times logic does not make sense when it comes to the stock market and human emotions. You will become very frustrated if you apply logic at the incorrect time.
WHY do I need to know how to use credit spreads?

Yes
Yes sell

I don't use it.

Greg keeps saying to use it and that it is mostly reliable, so when its not, I wonder.
Hopium my friend. Think long term.

You're right. Probably that combined with what the FED is pumping in then we got us a flyin machine! Thanks Bruce.

BigT check out some of my favorite div stocks. PFLT AGNC ARR MMP OKE PSEC
Using TD Ameritrade I believe they call a credit spread a vertical call or vertical put spread. Can someone confirm this? Thank you.
Spread and vertical are both the same. You receive a credit when you sell. You pay a debit when you buy.
Thank you, that's how it seemed. Same trade, different verbage.
