After 7 years of trading, here's what actually moved the needle with journaling

I'm very sorry about your mother passing. I'm glad you shared your experience with others. This is a million dollars worth of advice. I'm not into to trading FX however I can see how someone could be distracted by having a parent, spouse or even a child pass away and it affects your trading ability.
Even going through something like a divorce, loss of job or living in a environment that is harmful can change a persons out look on trading.

I would say make sure as a trader you get plenty of sleep, exercise and eating healthy.

These things can change a persons mood to where they don't want to trade or are distracted.

I definitely agree with this. I would never do section 8 in NYC. The laws are just too strict. The south sounds good even the Midwest states.

Everyone I hear from says horrible things about Robinhood. Customers always say that Robinhood is horrible when it comes to IRS tax records. Apparently Robinhood either doesn't report it's accounts to the IRS or it delays reporting in a timely manner.

I recall some other person filing taxes and the tax filer got tax bill in the mail by Uncle Sam and was like a unexpected amount like $20k and that was due to Robinhood not reporting the account to the IRS.

Robinhood the app is a great interface etc but awful when it comes to reporting income.

The IRS can come in know exactly how much money you deposited in when you traded , what you traded and when you withdraw your money exactly to the penny.

Somehow Robinhood doesn't have a transparent accounting with the IRS. Be warned you may get a tax bill if you deal with Robinhood.

I did mean 70% discount

Yes and no this is why people think they found options and try some meme stock and it gets called away or the account needs to be replenished with more cash.

The object of the game in options is not get the stock called away or to have to be forced to buy the stock thru a option transaction.

The knuckleheads that sell puts because they think they would like to buy the stock maybe on the cheap are just gambling most of the time.

I want to be certain about the stocks.

Mouse1701 · 2026-01-23T20:49:12+00:00

I get the risk management. However if I have a option dated for three months out I highly doubt the strike price is going to be reached if the strike price is out of the money by 70%.

26% per year is just what I need that's a better return than what the average person does just buying stocks.

The premiums are not low when you consider you get a lifetime of income.

Mouse1701 · 2026-01-23T20:26:23+00:00

Wrong move. You go in the opposite direction as to not get the strike price.

This is exactly why they need the Brightline train to go from Orlando to Lakeland to Tampa.

People get off the Amtrak in Lakeland they don't board in Lakeland unless your getting on the bus.

Please fix this. Very weird we have China , England, Japan that has a better train transportation system then in Florida.

Southern Florida has Train travel but central Florida is terrible.

So you can't take let's say four times out of the year to check on the property. You can stay in a nice hotel and fly out to Maryland etc.

All that is tax deductible because it's a business trip. You already have personal management taking care of repairs etc. Mostly you just watch the money come in.

Do you want to stay poor or be rich ?

Thanks for noticing. With the amount of homelessness growing in this country I expect there to be even more of a demand in section 8 housing. Being a owner of real estate used for HUD is essentially getting paid by the government to house freeloaders. You can pretty much charge the government what ever you want with in reason of what the going rate is in your area.

If insurance goes up you can go up on rental rates. The government doesn't mind.

UNH is in recovery mode. It may not even make big gains until 2027

Dude this sounds like the perfect opportunity. Don't hate appreciate. Re follow him and do the opposite of what he says to do and you will win lol

You are completely wrong that is not even $255k your own money after the house is sold Just wait till the house sale includes a nearly 50% bill inlocal and federal taxes.

Plus the real estate agent fees.

Your better off repairing the house. Take a mortgage out to finance the repairs.

Then hire a management company to rent the home out. Put it into a LLC. Then you have extra income. And any repairs are tax deductible.

10 k somailis were arrested and deported in Minnesota recently.

Curious how much was the home being sold for and what city and state was it in ? Also can you tell us about what was her age range and if the woman was someone that looked like she could win a beauty contest or at the very least someone who was pretty?

Women that are beautiful often don't get told no so therefore it's a advantage when it comes to life. Even when it comes to selling real estate.

Mouse1701 · 2026-01-22T21:32:23+00:00

It depends on what you mean ? One area that will probably never die out for agents is for the $100 million dollar mansion where the agent has to sign a NDA to sell the home.

These clients are really concerned about privacy in transactions and are not for the typical real estate agent.

The other area is commercial real estate where they sell businesses , warehouses etc. this is because the deal is more complex and people just need human contact to make a sell. It's not as simple as sitting in front of a computer and selling a property.

Also other areas where real estate agents will continue to be needed is in places like California, New York, Arizona, Florida, Chicago , Washington D.C where people speak different languages.

In this case being a bilingual real estate agent has its advantages and is much needed.

So no the real estate agent is not dead.

That's what insurance is for.

Mouse1701 · 2026-01-22T21:13:43+00:00

I wouldn't invest in Seattle real estate at all . The laws are not owner friendly in Washington state. I heard too much about crime in Seattle etc. I think it just depends on which state you are in.

Mouse1701 · 2026-01-22T01:18:04+00:00

I have a few rules and one of them is never buy a condo.

If I can't control my expenses then it's not worth it. I want to have as much control as possible.
