Just started exploring LEAPS as a way to play long-term trends without outright stock positions. So far, it seems promising, but I’m curious if anyone else uses them. How do you pick your expirations and strike prices, and what’s been your experience with LEAPS compared to buying the underlying stock?

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

I'm a young professional finishing my first year of my career. Last month I opened a brokerage account & invested $4000 in the stock market.

How did you get started?

Has anyone invested in a company that you know was initially started as a RollOver as a Business Startup (ROBS) or a ROBS holding?

Cons of moving 75% of my savings to an Intermediate US Treasury ETF (SCHR)? I wouldn’t mind losing 4-5% if the market rallies, but would rather put cash to work if the market keeps tanking

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

$CS look past the noise on this one. Could be a huge price turnaround on a 2-3 year life time considering this is a on-off event that has now been priced in. I am going to scale into LEAPS. Small position starting today. Looking for 200-300% in 3 years on this. Was best quarter in years without the archegos debacle and lots of opportunity for rates to rise.
