    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Switched all the wife and I’s retirement accounts to fixed income or cash yesterday. Sitting on about half a years salary of gains from my vix option plays. Sounds good but just makes me even on an apartment complex flip investment that I’ll probably never see the money back on as the renters...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    It's really odd how the market is reacting. It's very focused on the plateau which imo doesnt mean anything. There's multiple articles popping up that china has had to reclose some countries as cases start popping up when they reopen. It seems that even the places that stay open no one is going...

    Washington state bans recreational fishing until April 8th

    I'm in washington and while they close the state lands the trailheads around Issaquah are parking lots. Its politically motivated.

    Help choosing a domain name

    I'm in the management consulting industry...the idea is to use my linked in profile to write business pieces that link to a blog on my own website with my name. This will help me with broadcasting my expertise to other consulting firms that would want to hire me and to gain new clients and then...

    Help choosing a domain name

    Haha well my name is very biblical, so standard classic names, nothing odd. I'd like to stay with a .com, and my last name only isnt available.

    Help choosing a domain name

    I'm looking to start marketing myself in my professional career and wanted to buy a web address with my name in it but it's not available. There are a couple variations of my name that are still available and wanted some advice on which one I should use. I'm not going to give out my real name...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    Good news boys, masks suddenly work for the average Joe. It's a miracle! Praise sweet baby Jesus 8lb 6ounces in his little manger. Bonus points if you know what movie that last part is from. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/health/cdc-masks-coronavirus.amp.html

    Did you guys not read the revision at the bottom or just the parts you wanted to hear? He basically walks back his whole statement.

    I dont think it really matters what you are in, most of the market is moving in unison....hell I was trading apple options to play overall market moves because they had a tighter spread than the ones for the markets.

    I'd wait, as a long term investor you dont know the rebound that may occur with your money sidelined for a few days. Also may take longer because of all the requests the financial firms are getting.

    Retesting 22,000 a few times, those descending triangles USUALLY mean there will be a break through. But not always. May make a play on this but have a conference call where I'd have to stay away...well see.

    I had vix call options starting in Feb made a killing...gave up a large chunk as I was using options to make some short term trades and the sky high premiums collapsed and they started behaving the opposite of what they should. Did a few futures scalp trades for an overall small profit. Kicking...

    You should check out a book called "The myth of the rational market". Interesting read. I personally think that markets show correct value over long term timeframes (months, years) but are emotionally driven in the short term. I think the current moves up in the market are driven by FOMO but...

    You dont think the warning I gave makes sense for all the tom dick and Harry's that are about to lose their ass thinking the trading game is easy after a few wins? The trail of tears, financial ruin, and failed marriages for that story is long and well known. But yeah, go ahead and tell a bunch...

    Day trading without a fully fledged trading plan with risk management and metrics is an eventual route to disaster. May not be today or tomorrow but eventually. There's a reason 95% of day traders are not successful.

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    I was just on a video call with my wife and her sister who works at a hospital and she said some stuff that really irritated me. This malaria drug that is showing great promise for treating patients is already gone. Dr's and other health professionals wrote fraudulent prescriptions for each...

    What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

    There is some good to come out of this. Warning: this is all my philosophical opinions. Prior to coronavirus, I had this theory that one of Americas biggest problems was that we had it good for too long. Since we didnt have anything to worry about in a general sense we started to make things up...
