Does anyone try to explain options trading like sports betting to their families who don't get how it works?


My family can't seem to grasp basic stock concepts but the way they can read statistics on bets and know how to "hedge" during the game I try to use their terminology to put trading into perspective

No, options is far away to be compared to sport betting. Maybe you are gambling because you don’t know how options works.

I’d hedge that perspective.

We recently got the ok to schedule our orientation and delivery date for our IVF medications and all I have to say is ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!

I worked with CVS Caremark directly and got approval in 2 days (not the expected 3 weeks). Moral of the story: ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!

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.
