The shape of a candlestick can tell us much more than just the price point of each period's open, close, high, and low. It can also tell us much about market sentiment and psychology at any given period of time, depending on the shape, current volume, and location within a trend. Below is one explanation of what we learn from doji candles. https://qr.ae/p26vRb #paragonelite #technicalanalysis #trading #marketanalysis #patternanalysis

I was recently asked… Is it possible to lose money on short put options? To which I replied… It absolutely is possible. A short put option (alone) - or a naked put option - is when a trader sells a put option without having any position in the underlying stock or asset. Therefore, it is a bullish strategy which only works if the price of the underlying security stays above the break-even price. The seller of put options must purchase the asset at the strike price if the buyer of the option exercises it. If the asset price falls substantially, the options seller might have to buy the asset at a high market price to meet the contract terms, which could lead to substantial losses.?For example, if the stock price falls to zero, the loss to the option seller would equal the strike price x each share he is required to buy at the strike price (since the asset is now worthless). Let us look at the naked put option payoff graph below to develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept: One can determine the breakeven point in this case by subtracting the premium received per option contract from the buyer from the short put strike price.?Individuals must also keep in mind that the maximum potential profit in this case, too, cannot exceed the amount of premium initially received. Till now we’ve only considered the profit or loss at expiration. The put option seller can buy it back before expiration and would most likely profit from the trade if the underlying stock price has increased since opening the short position. Naked option positions are relatively risky and will lock up more capital in the account than most other strategies, since seller must maintain the margin as the exchange and broker must satisfy themselves in a way that the trader does not default if the option is exercised by the holder. Reach out with any questions. Happy trading!

Popular investment manager Warren Buffet is one successful example of an active investor. Buffet is a disciple of Benjamin Graham, the father of fundamental analysis, and has been a?value investor?throughout his career. Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate that holds his investments, has earned an annual return of 20% over the past 52 years, often outperforming the?S&P 500. Another successful public investor, Peter Lynch, managed?Fidelity’s Magellan Fund?from 1977 to 1990. With his active investment ideology at the helm, the fund returned an average 29% annually and, over the 13-year period, Lynch outperformed the S&P 500 eleven times. These two are phenoms when we look at the overall numbers. U.S. large-cap blend funds saw active managers outperform passive strategies only 17.2% of the time, with the percentage dropping to 4.1% net after mgmt fees. NINETY-SIX percent of active, large-cap, active money managers DO NOT outperform their passive money managing peers (also known as closet indexers, or simply those that mirror whatever assets are in their benchmarks, proportionately). Adding to the concern is the fact that these %s do not factor in the active managers' attrition rates. Some do so bad that they close up shop, and therefore fall from the denominator. In reality, the performers are less than 4%. Just as an FYI, another way to be your own passive money manager is to just buy the ETF [yourself] of whatever Index your active money manager is attempting to beat every year. Depending on the size of your brokerage account - considering many active money managers charge clients anywhere from 0.5% to 1.5% of assets under management, annually. What a travesty when simply purchasing the ETF (which stands for Exchange Traded Fund, designed to mirror the S&P, for example) could both save investors exorbitant mgmt fees as well as provide higher yielding assets. I see this problem getting worse as the United States' population ages. Active money managers who underperform spend hours every day attempting to assuage clients' fears and disappointment by mixing advanced investment catch phrases with the latest smart-sounding buzz words in a thick cocktail designed solely to confuse or scare a client away from resigning - or "slap lipstick on the pig", as many of them call the process. Sadly, due to long-standing relationships with their money managers, and the lack of desire and the knowledge necessary to hunt for better alternatives, clients tend to stick - - and >96% of them underperform the self-running market machine that simply does its thing with a one-time ETF commission expense for a buy-and-hold client! Given all this, I shine a light on these outstanding managers, in admiration for a job well done! Also, I'd point out that right here we have some with similar talent, such as: Wasatch Global Investors, Peak Capital Partners, and Grandeur Peak Global Advisors, LLC.
