August was a bit slow and my investments stalled. Many of my trades turned against me and I had to wait longer for them to end or expire than expected. However, I expected August to be slow due to consolidating my trading. In July I made an all time high revenue when I pocketed $5,734.00 Continue reading →

Jade lizard is a popular strategy yet not so very known among traders. I myself learned about this strategy just about a month ago although Tasty Trade performed studies on this strategy in 2013. But after I studied the strategy, I immediately fell in love with the strategy for benefits it provided. If you have Continue reading →

Option Trader Interview

About a month ago I participated on a series of traders interviews on Amber Tree Leaves blog. I read all of them so far and I was pleased to see other investors and traders involved in options trading. I consider options as a great investing vehicle and excellent tool to supercharge your results. But it Continue reading →

July 2016 trading, investing, and dividends results

When I finished June with $2,331.00 income I thought “that was it!” It was a great income and I haven’t expected that I could ever exceed it. I hoped, I could beat it by a thousand and finish July 2016 month at around $3,000 dollar income. But by July 10 my account was making $2 Continue reading →

$WYNN beat estimates yet gave me a headache

Today, I feel bitter about my WYNN trade. Last week I decided to take a few trades against WYNN and stretch my account a bit because I was confident that I would be out of those trades before earnings. It was a great opportunity trade! Brokers were listing that WYNN was going to report earnings Continue reading →

June 2016 trading, investing, and dividends results

June trading exceeded my expectations in generating income. It didn’t seem like I would make as much money as I did. Also Brexit shook with my account in a scary way, but it remained just that – a scary hysteria. The markets recovered all losses in two days. I learned a good lesson though. In Continue reading →

May 2016 trading, investing, and dividends results

At first, May 2016 trading started slow and I had a very low expectation of it. Many of my trades got in the money and I had to roll them away in time. I thought I would not be able to repeat my income from the previous month. But then the trades turned all around Continue reading →

Rolling in the money puts to repair a trade

You know it. You sell a put option and the trade goes busted next day. If you have never experienced this, then you are still going to. That I can guarantee. In the past, I tried to predict the market/stock direction so I could be on the right side of the trade. Today, I laugh Continue reading →
