Trade the Scoop

Hi Shoppers, If you’ve been trading lately, you know … it ain’t easy out there. There is so much going on worldwide it is pretty much impossible for one person to keep up alone. Even in quiet times, you do not want to be a lone trader. You need trading ideas and people to bounce […]

Go Big With Gamma

  Hi Shoppers,   Thanks again to everyone who joined us on Thursday night.   It’s always a good time to get together with Mark Sebastian and the Option Pit Team. Great traders and great people.   Now on Thursday, I touched upon the Greek term “gamma” and how I like to use it in […]

Super Short, Super Easy, Super Sweet

Hi Shoppers, Unless you’ve been living under a rock or on a super-extended vacation (wouldn’t that be nice), you know there have been just so many macroeconomic events recently. We have a war, we have inflation, we have the Fed raising interest rates, and we still have massive supply chain issues … The list goes […]

Take the Red Pill With NIO

Hi Shoppers, I am going to be super quick here as I am on spring break in Cabo San Lucas with a bunch of high school seniors. (My son and his friends, that is – I’m not just out here partying with teens!) It is absolutely beautiful here and I need to get back out […]

Have a Beer?

Good Morning Shoppers, I hope no one is hungover on green beer this morning. Did you know the healthiest beer you can drink is Guinness? (Get out of here with your Michelob extreme double ultra light infusions.) Most beers provide antioxidants, B vitamins, fiber, silicon (good for your bones), iron and prebiotics. Well, Guinness has […]

Thanks, Bill Gates!

Hi, Shoppers, Did you hear about the 2 billion genetically modified mosquitoes that are being released in Florida and California? Apparently, they are all male mosquitoes … that do not bite … that will mate with the biting females, producing offspring that will not survive. The purpose of all this is to reduce the spread […]

Rollercoaster … Say What?

Hi Shoppers, I used to love rollercoasters. They scared the hell out of me and I screamed the whole time, but loved it.  It’s been so long, I’m not even sure I can handle a roller coaster anymore. How about you? Check out Tuesday’s five-minute chart on the S&P 500 (Ticker: SPX): Folks, that is […]

Golden Hour

Hi Shoppers,   It is one of those rare warm winter days in Chicago.    As of this writing, it’s 64 degrees with a high of 66!   And it’s super sunny. Gorgeous!   In fact actually warm enough to sit outside.     Chicagoans truly appreciate those first few warm days.   It just […]

Put It Real Good

Hi Shoppers,   Yesterday, Mark Sebastian invited me to be a guest on one of his many media appearances ..   We talked about the market’s spiciest topic … put credit spreads! (That basically means … selling put spreads for a credit.)   Seems kind of crazy with the market volatility we have been having, […]

Cramer (And I) Agree With Mark

Hi Shoppers,   Lucky for you, I am in good with Mark Sebastian.   You know, the guy Jim Cramer was talking about this week …   That’s right.    And I got you a seat at his live session tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET.   There’s so much going on in the world right […]
