SPY - just redrew and projected wave 5. If you're short
term focused, this could be an area of interest. I'm selling short
dated puts.
*Thanks for all the thanks and compliments. I've been here
under different user names for nearly 20 years. I was thinking
maybe I would branch out and find someplace to learn new tricks
from new people, etc....and most importantly stop pissing people
off with occasional comments deemed to be political. But I have to
say, it's easier said than done to find a new community like this
(I'm currently trying about 10 different discords and....meh).
Maybe I'll just have to work on more self control with my
comments (also easier said than done). Haha.
DigiNomad - I appreciate all the time you've been here over the
years. If you found value here, even if you think you've
learned most things, I don't know why would bother leaving BPT.
I'm sure we put out some trade ideas or observations once in
a while that you find useful - even if it's only once in a while
the membership is worth keeping. It's not like membership is a
burden and costing 100's of dollars.
I have a lot of various subscriptions to some trading websites.
Some of these I only look at once a month or every other month or
even less - but if I get one good idea, then it's worth it for me.
I don't have to be constantly using a service to find value in it
if that service is not crazy expensive. Before you guys ask,
I'm not listing some of the subscriptions I have, but mostly I
might look at their trade ideas once in a while and pick one that I
like every now and then. I try not to look much at their
market commentary, why? Because I'm already an expert and I don't
want their analysis to bias my own analysis.
and as far as politics - we can all agree, everyone today is too
triggered and on edge on both sides. I would say being a trading
financial website most of the subscribers here probably lean a bit
right as far a fiscal policies and government (I'm not talking
about social issues and abortion and LGBTQ stuff). But
there's plenty here who lean more left and that's fine.
I'd say try to taper back some of the strong political things
just because it's not worth it. Also - plenty of subscribers choose
to use the Matt/Steve thread to ONLY see our posts.
and here's the thing - the VAST majority of subscribers do not
post here, do not look at the Community, 5%? maybe? Most
don't post.

I don't mind the rants Digi and nothing you've ever said
offended me. I appreciate your takes on the markets and the economy
as well. It'll suck to see you go!

Haha. Mastermind, if I was going to name names, my thoughts of
departure have mostly been to ease your angst. There are 1 or 2
others that come to mind, but mostly it's you that seems to be
easily triggered. Wasn't going to, but since you jumped
in...
So yeah, if I leave, it will be to ease your pain. Your welcome
in advance, although I'm sorry to say that I'm having second
thoughts. It's going to be a down to the wire decision.

grandfather was editor of the San Diego Union for 20 years...it's
in the blood (but I also try not to be a perfectionist)

Anyone remember a user named "surfah"?

Yes, I have a feeling you will miss us even more than we miss you.
Meanwhile, I have the perfect stock for you - DGII.

I don't consider myself easily triggered, but you triggered the grammar police in me when you said "your welcome" instead of "you're welcome".

Well I hope you stay. You definitely contribute a lot around here and I am pretty sure most of us appreciate it. Thanks Digi!

Posted by DigiNomad on 9th of Aug 2024 at 03:11 pm
I'm out half of those short puts at 25% of premium received (early, for me). This is a see money take money kind of market.

Maybe Digi is Matt or Steve alter ego?
Did anyone see Matt/Steve and Digi in the same place? Just saying :-)
