Obviously you don't remember what I said.
I advocated tax policy that would benefit the nation and reduce the exact type of thing that we're talking about. Yes. Just like I advocate free college, even though I paid for my own. Advocating what's best for the nation sometimes means advocating something that doesn't benefit you personally. How difficult is that to understand?
And when did I say I was "one of you"?
I'm not trying to be one of you.
I wanted to learn some additional perspectives on options trading but since you think that you know me off what I post, I'll fill in some of the gaps. As I said, I took and passed the Series 7 before I went to law school. At the time I was working with my brother who ran a very small fund. He is Series 3, 7 and 66 licensed.
I've been trading for literally decades at this point, before I went to college. But I don't really get into the weeds because I haven't had to. My brother, who is licensed to trade futures, wrote a book on options trading. He's had some of his analysis republished on thestreet.com. He wrote a trading app that he ran for a while. He's where I have most of my conversations. However, I have a very specific philosophy that I wanted to try so I'm writing covered calls to maximize premiums to see how that fits into that philosophy. I understand the basics and I have someone to walk me through the more advanced stuff. But I assumed that some of you might be running strategies that I haven't heard of.
I can't spend a bunch of time arguing with you over national level tax policy because you want dick measure about how much respective time we've spent actually trading options. I need information, clearly you're not going to be a source. All I can say is I appreciate your time and then move on to people who might actually teach me something new.
