. I volunteered in high schools, particularly in disadvantaged areas, and talkI applied the Peter Lynch approach to buy stocks whose products and/or services interested me. I knew nothing about shorting. I didn’t know anything about how to control exposure to stocks by employing the use of options.I wanted to become a financial planner. I discovered options as a way to keep myself occupied while going to school full time. I knew a little bit about selling puts and calls, but that’s about it.
Today, I follow tastytrade best practices and employ suitable strategies to manage my portfolios. tastytrade puts out research, hours and hours a week. I continue to learn and apply this research to my trading activity.I’m not a day trader. A lot of people confuse options with day trading. I may do a short-term trade every once in a while but 95% of the time my trades are 45-60 days out.tastytrade recognized me as a Rising Star--a show where their biggest fans share trading success stories.
