I’m new to options trading, but very curious. What do you all suggest I read to learn more?

Plenty of sources out there to read. I haven’t read any books personally, but have read various articles online, watched options action on CNBC on Fridays and fast money Mon-Fri. I’ve been investing and watching CNBC since I was 16, so I’ve always had an interest in the market. For beginners, I’d suggest an account with TDAmeritrade and you can use their “paper money” mobile platform to try it out given the inherent risk in options trading.

I'm looking for innovative ways to get my students to "publish" their writing. I've scoured the internet and know all of the basic ways - and have tried lots - but am looking for something more exclusive to our grade or class they can look forward to at the end of the year. I have lots of ideas, but would love to hear about what has worked for other middle school ELA classes. Thanks!

Newly in-house. Apparently, it was bad to offer my opinion that slightly differed from the managers, even though I was invited by said manager to review their suggestion with an internal client. We collectively discussed how to make a document better. I responded to an email that said "hey you and internal client - could you both see my suggestions (which differed from the clients). Internal client didn't really agree, so I said "can we add managers edits but keep some of clients edits"

Bit suprised by the aggressive bid this evening. Is the market setting up for a suprise sell. TD Sequential on a daily basis shouts YES. Last time we did this, had a huge down day. Basically, up for 8-9 straight closes, then 4 closes later, if still higher than these early closes, sell. That's the setup. It worked in June. Will it work now? I know I said bullish; but I think at this level, you have to be short just to see whether the bulls can save it at that HWB long at 3132.00.

Market gapped down off the Astra-Zenec vaccine paused during Asia open. That may have been the catalyst for the sharp rebound overnight. We are probably in the midst of a rally to the 3442 level for a half-way back short. Ideally, 3442-3476 is the sell area. Provided that 3476 level hold, a target would be 3230. Very short term, expect to see a rally here from the current 3360's level.
