Monday

I thought I would have access a couple of months ago.

I am more secure with this as I continue paper trading with it. Looks like it will be the S & P.

On the S & P, I would assume a projected gain of $100 per year,,pershare. I would project a gain of $5 per share, bimonthly and sell $5 above the current price. That way, I wouldn't be driving myself crazy, making sure I don't get called out, every two days.. Of course, there are times I would be called out. And there are times when - well we're overdue for the 10 year market price drop.

A I Bubble, anyone?

I hope I'm explaining this clearly. It's late and I'm tired from driving the grandkids home from a weekend with us. --- Tired, but worth it.3H
