GLD I took out my callers and rolled down my longs this morning, woo hoo! Phil, I followed your investing ideas in LTP quite closely. It seems your insightful fundamental analysis knowledge serves you v.

I get entertained and they are profitable. I must give kudos to Phil for changing my way of thinking. I'm a gambler by nature and used to just play the indexes with 3x etf's… well I still do, but the options give far better returns than I ever dreamed of. One of the things I've gained from this site is the concept of market manipulation.

I never thought it was so prevalent, but now I know it is. I actually consider its effect when I make trades. Several days ago, when AAPL was moving toward I sold calls.

My reasoning was that they will probably pin this month at They came in big time as the stock moved ever closer to I agree with Phil's comment that one of the things we need to do is find out what they are manipulating, and how, and hitch a ride. They are doing this with several equities. I've actually seen one article describing several equities that were being manipulated to pin at expiration each month, and describing how it was done, and of course Phil has described it well.

Phil - I caught the interview…. Your host recommended that the viewers should " go to your site, as you will be entertained ". That is for sure if you consider entertainment is laughing while you read, learn and make unbelievable leveraged profits that you never thought were possible. That is my kind of entertainment! Nice call on the QQQ puts this morning Phil. I bought 10 at. Sweet hedge for the day!

Phil, I was so impressed with the personal note in the comments that I went ahead and paid for a months trial of premium that I have been on the fence for awhile about. Just reading the comments makes me already glad for the purchase. Before I came here I loved to try to "figure things out" with very little success "TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT"!

I traded too much and fell in love with stocks that "should have done" what they didn't do. This is manageable with my full time job as a business owner. I have found Phil's system a more discipline way to achieve the returns I want without relying on my ability more like inability to "figure things out". Phil you are great, and not only is your market info spot on but you have the courage to call it like it is and write about it in a great tone.

Hello Phil, Thanks for the heads up on the comming sell off on friday, and the bs job yesterday. Thank you once again for turning a bad market week into a great personal week. You will be happy to know I am back to cashy and cautious with a few of your favorite longs into the weekend. Thanks to Phil, JRW and all the members who share their knowledge here. Hi Phil, Thanks for the free disaster hedge ideas.

I implemented variations of two of them on SDS bull call spreads and EEM bear put spreads haven't done the TZA yet and they really hedged my short term longs nicely today. Makes it seem a lot less like gambling. You are the man of the people! WISH TO EXTEND A BIG THANK YOU! Hope to meet you some day and buy you and your significant other a nice dinner. I saw it play out live and squawked it from the StockTwits ID which 14k people follow: But without such a list, I think it behooves us to call out the trades that have made a difference.

January 13 expiration is going to be a big month for me as a significant number of sold put positions will expire worthless. One example of the power of patience and leaving well alone: VLO — sold Jan 13, And as time went by, and I got more experienced — with the help of Phil and the contributions from board members, I started selling short term puts and calls around this position. Sometimes having to roll, sometimes doubling down but always knowing what I was getting into, and feeling very calm and focussed that whatever happened I could handle it.

And if I couldn't then there was always Phil to lend a helping hand. All in all, my profits since August would qualify as a tidy addition to any earnings from the day job. So we have completed two months of So far it has been a good ride with my PSW all short put portfolio showing a My watch list looks like a grid where Phil's recommendations went UP and everything else went DOWN!

It looked something like an ad for Philstockworld. Now I fish with many lines. It is amazing when you go over the same information time and time again, eventually it clicks.

The trade was put on one year ago for a net credit and exited five minutes ago for a 49 dollar per contract profit. No point in waiting till opex to see what happens, and I will just sell 10 of those VLO puts to make myself net the round I no longer worry about opex coming as I have adjusted well in time for most positions that go against me. I still make some howlers RIMM, TBT, TRGT but I play the percentages and my winners outdistance my losers by many miles. I would never be in this position if it were not for Phil.

He is a treasure, pure and simple. The goose that lays the golden egg if we care to listen and practice. Phil, a mighty big thank you. Thanks Phil, I have adjusted my position by getting rid of the IYF puts, and selling the FAZ puts. You have so many of these awesome little tricks in your playbook that it really amazes me.

I toally love your analogy by the way: Do you want insurance that you have to pay for, or do you want insurance that pays you? Thanks for the recommendation Phil! It was nice to cash in on a momo. I have followed along with your commentary and alerts and have been flabbergasted at your quick analytical skills and your journalistic skills to explain it clearly.

If volume wasn't just a little disappointing this would have been considered a super solid day for bulls. Having said that, shorts will be feeling the squeeze and anyone short the Dow Jones would have been feeling particularly aggrieved.
