A BIG lesson Ive learned is that 20% of your investments will generate 80% of your returns. Most of your trades will NOT workout. Warren Buffet has made hundreds and hundreds of trades but most have been poor. He HAS had a few grandslams like AAPL that made ALL the difference.
Keep this in mind, as it helps in dealing with losing trades.

Although the market is ugly, based on history it SHOULD rally this quarter. The 4thQ, especially in US pre election years is bullish. No guarantees, of coure. History doesn’t always repeat but it does rhyme.

im surprised no one is talking about the threat “X” has to PP.
Musk has many times discussed one app for everything. X, further, has made regulatory moves to get into the finance business.
This could be a HUGE upset to PP as overnight they have serious competition.

Getting a guaranteed 5%+, zero volatility, return right now is the BRILLIANT. Definitely boring, and NOT a buy and hold, but a great place to park money for at least a few months.

Option trading cam be an excellent source of income. Selling calls and cash secured puts are relatively simple and relatively low risk. Not ‘no’ risk, though. The Wheel Strategy is a pretty good ine during bull markets but disastrous in bears. And always easy to see a bull in hindsight. Another downside to selling is you will probably miss big moves as the stock will get called. Bottom line: Options can be  reasonable risk with decent i income.
