Good on you for the 4:30 gym business.
4 days a week I do that. I don't always feel like getting up but I always enjoy the feeling of working out once I start. I hope I never lose that.
Back to investing. The choppiness of the market makes setups hard to find because with long candles, both green and red, technical entries present with large risk as far as the difference between entry point and where a stop loss would be set.
Some sideways movement, similar to Friday, would be good for the early part of next week as far as traders are concerned. You would see some more consolidated candles and better entries. Most I got invested this week on trades was 30% but I was back to cash quickly and I only took 5 trades all week given the tough conditions. Sit out power is the toughest thing but persevering capital to use for a larger runup is key to super performance. [Reply]

Agreed, largely. I haven't looked at a stock chart in awhile, so I don't know what's happening, but the grains have been choppy as all hell. I'd agree that choppiness will wash fools and out and sometimes sitting out is the best strategy for a short-intermediate term investors. I got my ass beat like a bass drum back in 2019 on some corn hedges where I tried to be a fucking wiseguy and thought I knew what was coming.
I haven't went through this whole thread so maybe this has been discussed. But I recently found out my company 401k offers the Roth option so I switched my contributions from this point on.
When I called and switched that, I asked the guy if my plan allows for in service distributions. He said he thinks so and is mailing me something to look at. He said he thinks I can switch ALL pre-tax money to Roth (of course, I know this will be a taxable event)
My general question is, does anybody here have any info as to if that's correct? I know that if the company offers in service distributions, I can do my contributions, but I can't find any info on company match and interest/dividend money.
Through November the amount of stock sold by company insiders (CEOs et al) set a record by a huge amount. And it's only November. December is the traditional month for selling by insiders.
Smart people with information sell, stupid people buy. [Reply]
