Hey traders, Let’s face it — trading the market can feel overwhelming. Every day, there are thousands of tickers to choose from, headlines screaming about the latest breakout stock… And don’t forget every TV talking head has an opinion about what’s coming next.

Hey Traders, Today, I want to talk about something I’ve mentioned before in a broad market context, but it’s worth repeating: gaps.

Hey traders, When I told you yesterday how fly fishing is a lot like trading, it got me thinking about my other hobby: riding my Honda Transalp motorcycle through the Colorado backcountry. There’s something about taking my bike offroad — navigating the rugged trails, dodging obstacles, and dealing with unpredictable conditions — that’s a lot […]

Hey traders, Last week, I walked you through the importance of selling options and letting time decay work in your favor. But here’s the thing: Even when you’re selling options, you can’t just pick any stock out there. You need to be smart about which stocks you trade on if you want to stack up […]

Hey traders, If you read yesterday’s post, you might have already started the simple exercise I shared with you. You know, the one that shows you how time decay eats away at an option’s value. If you haven’t started yet, don’t worry. You can start whenever you’re ready — but don’t wait too long. Because […]
