    Let’s talk stocks

    I would have to look at their charts. I don't trade fundamentals and try to avoid them. Many times charts precede fundamentals as insiders start buying. Yeah we know that's a gray area but it still happens. I will probably be running scans here shortly for this weeks setups and will take a look...

    Let’s talk stocks

    Well checked my results and was pretty spot-on. 7 of the 8 at least hit T1 (target 1) with 1 or 2 hitting T2. The only one that didn't hit it's target was ETSY and it still ran $9 after it triggered.I posted my targets last week on my twitter @optionizerSS so feel free to go back and verify. I...

    Let’s talk stocks

    I had a 1970 Olds W31 (small block little brother to the W30). Bought it in 1988 from the original owner. He got it brand new as a graduation gift from his dad then it sat in his dads garage for a few years then the dad moved it outside where it sat 2 or 3 years before I bought it for $700 or...

    Let’s talk stocks

    Yeah time is definitely a factor, especially for short term traders. I have a full time job running a team of cyber security engineers (16 of us) but we all work from home but being in charge I'm pretty busy with meetings and helping teammates. My hope and goal is to be a full time trader in 4...

    Let’s talk stocks

    Sure. Are you trading options or commons? The system I use works on any timeframe. 'The Strat' numbers each candle. An inside candle is a '1' and represents consolidation on a smaller timeframe. So a '1' on a 60 minute candle would look like chop or consolidation on a 5 or 15 minute timeframe...

    Let’s talk stocks

    I'm an active day trader but only trade options. Don't usually hold longer than a week or two. Traded CAT calls for 56% overnight Tuesday to Wednesday. Had an alert set for DE but the spreads were too large. Also had SBUX alert set this week that triggered but I didn't get in that one. That...

    Cessna vs Beechcraft

    Are these 2 related or are they competitors? I ask because I was watching the NASCAR truck series race today and on the 'tailgate' of Kyle Buschs truck it said Cessna and on the bedsides it said Beechcraft. I would think if they were competitors they wouldn't both be sponsoring the same truck?

    Dangerous Text Message?

    Years ago I got a call from 'Microsoft' saying I had a virus and they would help me fix it. I played along and let them walk me through and pretended to be following along. After about 5 minutes I acted confused and told them I was on a Linux laptop. He asked me to repeat myself and I said...

    Dangerous Text Message?

    lol. An iPhone infecting a Windows PC is not as likely because the core OS are different. Not saying it can't happen but the general saying in my industry is 'if it is connected to a network it is vulnerable'. When I was a system admin for a company that made all plastic pieces for airplane...

    FAA Emergency Order of Suspension

    Ugh. I had a similar issue with an LLC I had formed years ago. I dissolved the LLC in 2012 but kept getting letters because I hadn't filed taxes on it. Took me about 3 years and about 15 calls from me and my CPA to finally get it resolved. They had actually sent me an 'invoice' for penalty of...

    Dangerous Text Message?

    Delete it. Don't click on any links. On a PC you can hover over a link to see the URL and it is usually something strange not related to who they claim to be. FWIW- I'm a System Security Engineer with a CISSP so I do this for a living...lol

    Light plane down in Livermore, CA, near KVLK

    I used to own a bar and was reading my insurance policy one day and was wondering if my roof was covered if a tree fell on it. It did say that it was covered if hit by an unidentified flying object (UFO)....lol

    Yeah heard that ticker being tossed around quite a bit today in my trading community. I didn't do much today. Bought LYFT calls that expire in April. Still holding AAPL calls too. Have a few other smaller positions but not much tied up in those

    Plane down in Western Washington

    Let me start by saying I completely understand flying an airplane is completely different than piloting a boat but in the boating world we have a rule of thumb...use 1/3 tank to get there, 1/3 to get back, and 1/3 in reserves. I also understand refueling a plane is a little more involved than...

    where to invest a couple million

    I like the self storage idea. Considered building one on property that I sold last year. But as far as 10-20% on stocks? A few good mutual funds should get you at least 10%. The way the market has been 20% isn't that hard. But yeah there are risks. I got about 35% on mine last year. I have it...

    where to invest a couple million

    It depends on your situation. I would probably suggest a good financial advisor but you probably can't go wrong buying mutual funds and collecting 10-20% per year off it. That would be the conservative move and something I'd consider if I was close to retirement age. Myself, being a day trader...

Originally his flight was to depart Bismarck then to Minneapolis then on to Pittsburgh. On his way to Bismarck from Thief River Falls (2 hours west) he got an...
