Tonight’s news likely pushes oil toward $120 and sends markets down a couple percent. 📉
The real question: what move does the commander-in-chief make next? 👇
1. Walk it back and de-escalate (unlikely).
2. Escalate militarily to further cripple their nuclear program.
3. Sweeten negotiation terms to reach an agreement.
4. Increase pressure with renewed threats toward Iran.
5. Adopt a strategic deterrence posture, military buildup without immediate action to signal credibility.
Which path do we take?

@GrindeOptions My 2 year old running to my arms when I walk home after a long day at work.

I half agree with you.
Only issue I take is turning 2k to 20k? That’s chasing a 900% gain in a single move. Even in swing trading, that’s fantasy. I mean even in long term that is difficult af.
A strong 15–25% winner is already a great trade (and it can easily take weeks). Stack those, compound the profits, manage risk on the inevitable 5–10% losers. That’s what actually scales.
10x moonshots are casino talk, let’s be honest.

Day trading will humble you fast.
You’re not losing because you’re dumb, you’re losing because you’re rushing.
Everyone wants 10k days. Nobody wants 10 clean entries.
You full port → you spike → you feel like a god →
next trade wipes you back to zero.
That’s the loop. That’s why most never escape.
Real traders don’t chase money…
they build a system that prints it.
Turn 2k → 20k.
Pull it. Reset. Repeat.
You don’t need one big win.
You need controlled wins… over and over.
Slow is what actually scales.

If my win rate is much higher with buy and hold + swing trading than with buy and hold + selling options, does it make more sense to focus there instead?
Are options really worth the extra time and learning curve, even if that means taking losses in the process, or is it smarter to stick with what I already know and what is already making me money?

@NotA_Bull About to sell all my $MU shares for a 10% profit and move it back to my watchlist. Bought it overpriced, so $MU stays there until it dips to $300 (if it ever does).

@HeroDividend It says 0.53 (so far) .
Does this mean it could change? Can someone explain to a simple minded investor like myself?
Also why it went back to 2005 rates? If it was increasing every year ?

@BabaNeal007 I hope he took the watch off after the shot to let some circulation flow, dam.

@MarcosMillaYT My friends don’t know any of these 😂 Oh wait. I have no friends … 🥲

We over analyze it that’s the problem.
I am a Millennial/borderline Gen Z (96) and had my first kid in 2024. Could I afford it? Absolutely not.
Did I have to work extra and make sacrifices? Yes, exactly like parents did in previous generations.
Nobody said it’s easy, you just gotta do it. It will never be a perfect time or perfect system in place.
English

Why Millennials and Gen Z are choosing not to have children?
$350,000 is the estimated cost of raising a child in the U.S. from birth to 18
≈ $1,620/month
Average household income: ~$55,000 after taxes
≈ $4,600/month × 2 people = $9,200/month
Typical monthly expenses for a family with one child:
• $1,620 — child-related costs
• $1,900 — rent
• $1,000 — food
• $600 — car payments
• $1,000 — student loans
• $500 — utilities
• $1,300 — insurance
• $500 — personal care
• $1,000 — emergency fund / 401(k) / IRA
Total: $9,420/month
Balance: -$220
What expenses did I miss?
