Can’t believe end of April is already here. And we are going to end it with a solar eclipse. How interesting it is. Read an interesting article about micronations. I wonder, what if, that all these natural disasters depicted in movies happen in real life. Then the so-called nations we have around the world will …

I am late posting again. No excuse this time. I just completely forgotten to write this until I wake up late this morning on Saturday. I was setting up two new computers as trading servers. It took so long for Windows 10 to update itself until the computers are ready for use. Before I knew …

This is Easter Friday so stock markets are closed. This particular Easter Friday is special though as it is also the option expiration Friday.

A relatively quiet week in the financial markets when people have learned to live with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Today is option expiration Friday. For some, they can’t believe the stock market has rallied so much these few days. However, if they pay attention, the indices are really just moving back towards the midpoint of the year. Nothing special.

Another week of extreme volatility across all financial markets led investors and traders into deep confusion on what to expect in the future. Big name like Zoltan Pozsar even floating the idea of Bretton Woods III is coming. That definitely scares the sh*t out of many long term investors. But isn’t that what Ray Dalio …

Can’t believe it is March already and this Non-farm Payroll week could not follow its usual script anymore as geopolitical issues now the focus of many traders and investors.

This week we’ve witnessed one of the most powerful reversal in the stock market within two trading days. Some people claim that it is due to the long term players who bought put options as a hedge to their portfolios selling the puts to collect the profit. In turn the market makers are forced to …
