Earnings and the Yield Curve
22 April 2018 Earnings are coming in and they're strong, but traders can't seem to take their eyes off the yield curve these days. It appears to be flattening and that's worrying Wall Street. A lot. Rates have been going up recently and an inverse curve generally precedes a recession. Or at least since 1960. I don't think that's going to happen but it's still dampening any buying activity and sending the markets lower. With about a third of the S&P500 stocks reporting this week, they need to be strong or rates will once again capture the headlines. 
Options as a Strategy
18 April 2018 Options are hardly ever the primary focus of investors as they begin their investing career. In fact, they’re totally ignored for the most part. Only later in their investing career do they realize that was a mistake. An error of innocence. A missed opportunity. (Full Article)
Buy Highs, Sell Higher Highs
11 March 2018 The price you pay for a stock is never as important as the direction the stock will take after you buy it. That may be obvious to experienced investors but beginners don’t always understand this basic concept. The’ve been indoctrinated with the idea of buying low. That’s why they’re often drawn to shares that are falling. (Full Article) Retirement is a Waste of Time
6 March 2018 The most popular articles on the net these days are articles on retiring at 50, 40 or even 30. The idea is as soon as an investor can accumulate the minimum income (usually in the form of dividends) to support a minimal lifestyle, he should drop out and live a self centered, self absorbed life of laziness and consumption. Basically a bum. (Full Article)
Weekly Options
22 February 2018 Weekly Options, as opposed to Monthly Options, have become increasingly integral to my investing strategy as the number of weekly options has expanded over the years. As a result, I've listed those companies that offer weekly options in a new "Options" drop down menu and titled "Weekly Options". You can find it located here.
Finding Uptrend Support
11 February 2018 In a falling market it seems like everything falls aimlessly. But some shares stop at support and wait for the pullback to stop. These are usually the companies that rise first and the fastest once the carnage ends. In this article you'll find eleven companies in a confirmed uptrend channel that have fallen but have found support.... (Full Article)
Here Come the Small BioTechs
6 February 2018 One of the strongest technical areas of the markets these days is the small capitalization BioTech companies. Today I'm going to look at six companies and their stock charts. Each has been technically strong lately and I expect they'll continue to be strong as the continue toward the commercialization of the products they're developing. (Full Article)
Using the MACD to Trade Options
1 February 2018 Every day I’m looking at stock charts for specific situations in which to sell options. For me, options are a short term trading strategy so there’s really no reason to do much fundamental analysis of the underlying company. This is really a chart based trading strategy and I like to enter and exit these things within the limits of a work week, if possible. (Full Article) Seventeen Ideas for Anyone Out of Ideas

Always Have an Exit Strategy
The exit strategy is always a mandatory precondition for any trade I enter. All other strategies will have disaster embedded at their core. All other strategies are simply an emotional reaction to events external to the markets. All other strategies will accentuate a reward while ignoring the damage that's incurred by accepting such an extensive implied risk. These are the strategies that I personally refuse to implement into my trading strategy. (Full Article)
