The Tasty Trade material is good. They like what is called theta delta neutral trades. That is, trades not depending on a tickers direction.

Think or Swim (TOS), part of Schwab has good courses that also do more directional and technical analysis.

Both are free, and also have paper trading to help you master without risking real money.

Most people new to options lose money. Most people also don't think they need to paper trade. A TOS study a few years back when Tom (founder of Tasty Trade, he was a founder of TOS and sold to TDAmeritrade which bough TOS) found people that made money in paper were about 6 times as likely to be successful.

Totally agree. I did hundreds of paper trades and learned a lot.

For options you want high volume and price volatility. Mutual funds have relatively low volume and stable prices. Check out the tasty trade options course.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

If I have two 401ks (current job and previous job), does the 19k limit apply to both of them together or 19k each?

If I were to rollover a pension lump sum into one of those 401ks, is counted towards the $19k limit? Or is rollover classified differently and I could still continue to contribute to my current 401k?

I’m considering building up my I bonds to eventually replace my 6 month expenses emergency savings account. Any downsides I’m not considering?

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
