Pinned Tweet
I unpinned my thread on how I do my charts as I have more to say about life than just a few charts on stocks.
I have pinned this tweet so that you can realize when you are getting caught up in a situation where your need to be right is being usurped by the need to dominate others to bend to your will...
Look up and read one of "Uncle Remus's" stories; The Tar Baby
The Tar-Baby is the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit.
From Wikipedia: The 'Tar Baby' story comes from the oral tradition of black slaves on the old plantations of the American South, one of many Uncle Remus stories. It features Br'er Fox, who constructs a doll out of a lump of pine tar and dresses it with some clothes. (Like a scare-crow)
When Br'er Rabbit comes along (walking down the road) he sees and addresses the 'tar baby" amiably but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as the tar baby's lack of manners, argues with it, punches it and, in doing so, becomes stuck.
The more Br'er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar baby out of rage, the worse he gets stuck and covered in Tar.
I dont know why I remember the (entire story is longer and explains a bit more) story, that I heard over 55 Years ago, BUT the Moral(s) of the story reminds me of Social Media these days as we (as humans) tend to get caught up in our feelings and opinions and by arguing with those WE call fools, we wind up entangled and covered in sweat and tar.
For me? No More...
Crow eating time, I did not have my glasses on when I read that $AAPL would have ER after the close on Thursday Nov 12th... (dammit) Its actually after the close this coming Monday the 2nd.
I now have to recalculate which puts I want to play, which does make it cheaper and maybe closer in strike.
Stay tuned
Why?
Why am I in $TLRY $2.78 (actually Up $.06) again?
In Nov 6th $3 Calls at $.0575
65 minute chart since 1 for 10 Reverse Split
Are you telling me that $BRK.A wont start selling some $AAPL up here as multiple sources are talking of major % declines in $AAPL's sales?
And this transition of CEO's and this app store debacle that will unfold.
Their Moat may be surmountable... In a FLOOD of new competition.
Think about a moat in a flood, it Becomes the flood
Seriously, THIS would be Epic for the @Eagles
A Story like @cj_wentz coming Back after all these years and taking a (now) ragtag bunch to the playoffs and dare I say...
Replying to @JeffKerrPHL
Dont laugh (ok, you can laugh) IMO the @Eagles should bring back Doug Pederson ( I Was on the band wagon to fire him for the record) and reclaim the locker room and go on a mind bending 9-1 streak to get to the playoffs, grab another QB like ohhh, maybe Carson Wentz (wouldnt That be Funny) that sets the league on fire...
Then lets see what happens
Occasionally I do a few lessons in a Discord room for @Atlantic_trades a very nice group out of London. Good people...
I seldom make any reccomendations in their room, But just now, I posted This, word for word on how I think that $AAPL may start to tumble...
Ok, I have a thesis brewing and I am feeling Very strong about it. Unfortunately (IMO) its about 3 weeks out and the options are Very expensive. Ready?
Tim Cook may have pulled a perfect "ride into the sunset moment" as he left $AAPL With this screen cracking on their foldable retort to Samsung and declining sales worldwide, their grip on their app store is loosening as companies revolt against their 30% pound of flesh charges...
I am thinking of a huge dump in $AAPL as we get close to their ER on Thursday Nov 12th After the close. Oh wait, what day is After Thursday Nov 12th? FRIDAY the 13th
Remember $IBM in July when the got crushed and had their biggest loss ever in 1 day? mmm hmm.... I am looking at the Nov 13th $335 Puts that are currently $4.45 to $4.75 right now...
Gentlemen, start your engines
Wow, quick, Funny and true take on the Lindsay (let me kill my 3 adorable babies) Clancy situation:

LOL, Losing your $ with $GS is now called:
Getting Briefed
JEWS? WTF man?!
Replying to @eliant_capital
Prediction:
I Am a Huge @sydney_sweeney fan, I mean, Ga-ga over her
That said, IMO she May be IN the next "new" James Bond 007 movie but she wont be "THE Bond Girl"
Why? 2 Reasons:
1) This will be about the New Bond Guy as it should
2) She is TOO Sexy and Popular that might detract from Bond.
I Do think she could play another part, like "Pussy Galore' (I still cant believe they called her that) she's be "Titty Galore" because, as Men know, her Breasts are Incredibly Mesmerizing...
And please, Sydney, I say this with all due respect and admiration.
Thoughts?
Updating my Profile to more of who I am and what I like.
I may lose some numbers of those who like what I say/post.
It's ok, they get to choose, as I do
Interesting thought:
If I had say $5 Million in the bank, at my age (68) would I trade anymore?
NO
Would I be online, interacting with others?
Hardly
Would I be online arguing or chastising others?
NO
Would I even care what is going on "In the World"?
NO
What would I be doing?
Building and living in my own, designed Domed Home complex with a few Dogs, Cats, maybe some baby goats, a pot bellied pig or 2, maybe a few cows and horses, a few small donkeys (I cant be the only Ass on my farm/menagerie) about a dozen chickens, half a dozen ducks and lots of Fish tanks, a tidal pool and about 200 assorted plants all over the house and a pond (a few acres) with natural filtration and the ability to swim in it with beautiful fish and assorted lizards and turtles...
And an Incredible Woman who loves me and has More $ than I do, so we dont argue about anything financial and we Both dont GAF about politics or anything else going on around us...
That is a resounding YES
I wanna see a new video game called :
"Call of Doody"
For those whose trading accounts have sh!t the bed along with the traders sleeping in it
You have to wade through pools of shite to get to the margin clerk who sold your shares at the market so you can have your way with them.
Along the way you discover SHIT-ake mushrooms that you have to eat and also have to learn how to fry s-CRAP-ple and eat that as well so you can "get back in the game"
If you Do that, your account gets refunded and you can start over.
I dont get why "resident 'rump doesnt decriminalize all hemp/cannabis AND settle things w Iran BEFORE the erection?
Hard knot too
One thing I like about "X" is that I can mute words, phrases etc that I dont want to see for a variety of reasons.
Just added a bunch of new words and my feed is so much better.
Less dumbasses, less violence and admittedly less chance of ME becoming one by getting caught up in replying.
As soon as I notice that I'm pissed or outraged, I just mute another one.
Pretty soon it will be all dogs, baby goats, elephants and amazing sunsets...
Just watched both seasons of "Sugar" on @AppleTV the past 2 days and I am a slightly changed man.
To most, you may not get it, but I am a different human now
Colin Farrell was/is Perfect in this role.
I started watching what I thought was a detective show, about a man with a secret.
I wont ruin it for you, go watch and allow your "humanness" to shift a bit
Mine has.
