Every time I think I’ve mastered options trading, the market humbles me. One week, I’m stacking consistent wins, then suddenly, I misread the trend, and it’s like I forgot how to trade. It’s frustrating because I know what I should do, but my execution gets sloppy. How do you all stay mentally sharp and avoid falling into bad habits?

Does anyone work for Children’s medical center of Dallas on this form ?

Would you categorize this industry as diverse? I was just reading an article on USA Today that centered around the lack of diversity in finance, especially in positions of power. I’d have to agree with them based on what I’ve noticed.

I get the feeling that MBA degrees get compensated fairly well...more so than tangible real life experience. What is it about MBAs that is so valuable to the employer?

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?

I’m considering starting to study for the audit section of the exam since it will be changing in July. Is it not worth trying to cram everything into the next month and taking it by the end of June? Or should I just wait until July to start studying?

Bali recommendations on things to do?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Is there a broker where I can do so without paying more in collateral money - essentially using stocks as collateral, and also not paying margin interest. Was able to do so in London, Hong Kong, and India. However, Robinhood here doesn’t seem to allow it.

I don’t play with options much, but I happened to buy VERU calls for 2/19 a little while ago and now it’s skyrocketing, it’s up over $1k for me- will it keep going up? Should I just take the profits now and be happy?

How much % or $ you think is safe for margin debt or borrowing from fidelity. I am tempted to take margin debt to buy stocks on fire sale. Generally I don't like debt and keep it zero or 1-2k. Want to avoid margin calls in the event stocks goes down more.
