My only question is.
I have three cards already. All with zero balances. One I haven't used since 2010 and only keep it because it is my oldest account. Should I cancel it? We will be upgrading houses in 4-5 years and I want a top notch score. |

I buy MOSTLY short term calls or puts that expire within the week. I've even bought options on a Friday morning that expire at the end of the day hoping to catch a big move with high leverage.
I have to be careful because twice this year I was designated as a day trader for moving in and out of more than 4 round trips in a single day and it caused all kinds of alarm bells. I need to keep $25,000 minimum in my trading account to satisfy Scottrade if I want to day trade so I don't do it. One time was an error because I liquidated options that were in the money over two days and in 5-10 contract blocks instead of selling all 70 at once. Got hit with like 6 R/T trades on that the way the new rules apply. Do you ever notice how traders try to move a stock to close at the strike price on Friday's close? |

Has anyone on here used the Nova X Report?
It is being pushed hard on financials websites. Also-who is into the Medical Pot stocks. I have 4500 shares of one "company" that did not do squat. Some other stocks soared 125,000%. Curious where you think the next play is with so many states changing pot laws. |

Just pulled the trigger on VERY RISKY Amazon $822.50 call options that expire at 4pm today.
23 calls for $1,403.10 = .61 CB includes commission I'll try to get out by 2pm at the latest. Trying to get at least .85-.90 for them |

The bid-offer on my AMZN options are now 1.20 - 1.29 and running, looks like a short squeeze.
I should sell half the position |

This is the run I need to get out. I think they will make another new daily high and I can scoot out. You have a screenshot of your sales side option trade? |

I had them at .00 cents due to the dividend and sold at almost $3.00. Here it is a year later and the last week the stock has shot to the moon- 30% daily gains-now sitting at $24.00 per share. Could have bought it 11 months ago for 9 cents a share. At least PWCL has been moving upwards. Big gain today. |

If you don't have an annual fee in a card, I would never cancel. It will shorten your average age of accounts and potentially negatively affect your score.
