    The stock market always follows earnings. So, what is the earnings per share for the entire market? Currently, $205 per share. The earnings estimate for next year is $223 per share. With a current market multiple of 21, that means the S&P 500 should be $4,683 in 2022... So what is it inflated...

    September is over! What a month! We were used to sharp declines and even sharper recoveries but in September, this was a slow and dreadful decline. Last week we lost our net-liq value by 2.79%. Overall, in September our account lost -4.41% which is less than the entire market. The S&P 500 lost...

    I checked it out and it looks OK. If you plan on holding it through any market situation, it is doable. I am generally against mutual funds but this fund looks workable.

    Investing business proceeds in mutual fund

    INVESTING 
    Mutual funds are expensive and most of the time underperform the market. If you want something that performs as the market does, follow Warren Buffett's advice: "Buy an entire market using the index ETF, such as SPY, and forget about it." Over time, the market goes up. If you bought before the...

    There are no downsides that I would call a downside. Some people consider them a downside, I don't. For example. When you do a wheel and sell puts, what's the worst thing that can happen to you? Well, here are the outcomes: 1) The stock drops below your strike. 2) You can roll the put down...

    You do not have to be active with options, trade a wheel strategy - if you own 100 shares, place a covered call above your cost basis price (in case you get assigned you will be sold out for a profit) and then you can forget it.

    Dividend growth stocks. They grow the dividend every year and you will have your income no matter what the stock is doing. If we have a serious correction and all stocks drop 70%, the high-quality dividend growth stocks will still pay you the dividend (many will even increase the dividend even...

    I am in the same boat. A dividend growth investor and options trader. I consider my trading my business and trade it as a business. In 2014 I started an LLC and invest aggressively.
