Nice!!
Just donated and wanted to give McInnis another pat on the back. I mainly just lurk and enjoy reading and learning, but am always glad to give back when we make money.McInnis 03 said:If anyone is so inclined...Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:Post a charity you like.

Know why I'm laughing? Because I barely own any of it. Figured it'd go back to zero so sold most of what I bought, treated it like a cheap option play.
I can think of many, but here is Eternal Anchor. It's a school on the Baja Peninsula in Mexico where they house children with special needs. Often times in impoverished Mexico these kids are seen as a curse from God and are not treated well. Eternal Anchor has live-in therapists (mostly Christian Missionaries of the medical field) that treat the kids for speech, physical, and occupational therapies and help create mobility solutions and teach the families and locals how to live and love in the way Jesus does. We have a special needs daughter so this organization has had a special place in our heart.

Wow. Thank you! Wasn't expecting such generosity. This will be a huge help to them.
Glad I've been any help. I'll keep it coming

This is the greatest site on TexAgs!!!
I like to think of myself as a "silent whale" on this board. I'm retired and have the luxury of having a lot of cash to play with. I started following the recommendations on this thread in April, and have averaged a 30% profit with an average holding period of 12 days.McInnis 03 said:

Beats the hell out of the "buy and hold" philosophy I'd been following for most of my working years.
For you!

Be really careful because "since April" has been a good time to make money. If you get over confident it will be easy to risk too much and learn the hard way how fast you can lose money.
Not to worry, I went 90% to cash in early June and have been sleeping just fine...gig em 02 said:canagian said:I like to think of myself as a "silent whale" on this board.

For the newbies to stock:
Why you dont set a sell at market price on the open.
RLFTF is currently sitting with a .01 bid for the open. If anyone has a market priced sell at the open, they will get .01 per share and make the bidder a very very happy man.
And really... you should try to avoid market priced sells and purchases altogether.

Curious where you think one should put cash in at a time like this. Definitely agree that the stock market is making me nervous right now.

You might consider KMI. It has a great yield and isn't volatile.Philip J Fry said:

If any of you wake up to see RLFTF .45 in your Fidelity account its a mistake. I called them and they said it will correct when market opens and it starts trading.
Big shock when I open account this AM it was down big...it was b/c RLFTF is shown at .45, which is a mistake

I'm not sure if anyone else here is interested in a little bit of trader education this morning; however, last night I spent some time deepening my knowledge of broken wing butterflies (BWB), and after watching some videos (one tastytrade video in particular) it has come to my attention that the BWB win ratio can be 10x higher than that of the traditional butterfly win ratio over duration of time.
Outside of binary events (and even then I still may) my usage of actual butterflies is about to decrease significantly and I'll likely be utilizing BWB's more frequently.
BWB's are where you embed a credit spread in a typical butterfly to often times take a credit on the transaction. You can then often times close the transaction for a smaller debit (win) or let the entire BWB expire worthless (win) or utilize a few other methods to execute transaction management.
Reference:
Comparing butterfly strategies (explains win ratio differences in different IV environments)
How BWB's can be closed for a debit or credit

It's showing at .68 on ETrade . Down from .82 I believe at close. I think theres probably going to be more of a sell off at open too. It may get down to low 50s or even higher 40s and from there I'm not sure what happens.

People may be taking a 3 day weekend before school gets started up again. I"m out some next week
We're here. Waiting on McInnis to post. Or OA. Was having issues with Merrill so wasn't able to see holdings.
Anyone still in QD?
Slack is pretty silent too so that isn't it - just a slow morning and we had the RLFTF craziness yesterday
I'm also over here getting donkey punched by AAPL
Fridays are always slower on this thread unless SHTF
