Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)        21:52  RickHere's a New Year's deal for those of you who have hesitated to shell out $400 for a private, one-hour consultation with me: 40% off the regular price, or 50% off for a three-session package. That's $240 or $600 respectively. Anyone who has met with me online for an hour has achieved a breakthrough that in many instances helped him or her achieve steady profitability. Here's the link to sign up: https://bit.ly/3RTuFyS21:53  RickHere are a few unsolicited testimonials:21:53  Rick"Just wanted to let you know that my trading has improved greatly. I have been making anywhere between $600-$1,200 a day. I feel a lot more confident as to where things are going. So I just wanted to thank you so much for your help as it was truly appreciated. Have a Happy and 2024."21:53  RickHere's another: "I'm puzzled by how some traders will lose a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand dollars, but can't see their way clear to spend four hundred bucks on an hour that could change the trajectory of their trading, minimizing losses and increasing gains. In the hour I spent with you, I've gained a new and better understanding of your Hidden Pivot Method. [I can already see that] the little tricks and tweaks you clearly explained will have a long-term positive effect on my trading."21:54  RickA third: "I hope you are well. I'm now 3/3 on the week and have profited $950 gross. Thank you. As you said in the chat room, execution is the hardest part. I plan to start doing more contracts as I fine-tune, but for now I'm completely content with base hits."21:54  RickAnd a fourth: "The one-on-one session I did with Rick this morning was the

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)09:00  RickTo limber up, I will try to post a jackpot trade this morning for the room. Although we have done extremely well with this bet, it is never going to be an odds-on shot, and so you should risk no more than you could comfortably lose (i.e., kiss that money good-bye). .09:05  RickThe usual idiots have already reacted to the idiot job stats released this morning, so we have guaranteed nitwitting to work with at the opening bell. The jackpot bet will be predicated on a stage-managed weak opening, followed by 'surprise' buying on 'bearish' 'news'. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)12:41  RickAhh, ye of little faith! The response to my new, improved options offer was overwhelming. It reminds me of the famous Warner Brothers cartoon "One Froggy Evening," in which a promoter rents a theater to show off the amazing singing, dancing, tightrope-walking frog he has found. The ticket booth initially is a scene of desolation, so he puts up a "Free beer inside!!" sign -- and gets trampled by the eager mob it attracts.12:50  RickWe could warm up by naked shorting the SPY 5 Jan 470 calls for 1.18, since they are bound for 0.25, but they were aa much better short at 2.10 on a signal that occurred around 11:30. Let me rummage around and see what else I can find. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)10:22  RickOnly eight subscribers have responded to my options pitch (see 15:11 post above). The $600 buy-in was designed to weed out dabblers and attract players, at least a few of whom would do ALL the trades. This would give me solid data to show my marketing guy. To entice more of you aboard, I will make the $600 entry fee payable at the end of the experiment, and only if my trade recommendations have enabled you to make at least twice that. Email me at rick@rickackerman to reserve a spot. The opportunity will expire tomorrow at noon. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)Just posted in the Trading Room:  15:11  RickCalling all option junkies! I am looking for volunteers to participate in a trading experiment. A marketing whiz from the major leagues will take me on as a client if I can compile an impressive string of option trades over 30 days. It will cost you $600 to come aboard -- so, yes, I am looking firstly for players who can do naked-short trades and who plan on making the $600 back on the first day.15:11  RickHowever, anything I ultimately do with the marketing guy will be geared toward his "audience" -- i.e., would-be traders with tiny accounts and horrendous track records. I haven't yet settled on a format for my recommendations, but I contemplate putting out perhaps 2-4 trades per week. If you are interested, please drop me an email at rick@rickackerman.com. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)12:24  RickAMZN coming up on a 153.98 p midpoint pivot of a gnarly pattern that looks very shortable. I will not hinder your creativity and abilities by suggesting a precise way to get short, so this one will be a do-it-yourselfer:12:24  Rickhttps://bit.ly/3GLU3l412:27  RickThe expiring 150 puts at 0.40 would be a good place to start, but that is just a suggestion. They might not trade quite that low, and so there is a risk of missing out on the trade. Do not worry about this, since there will always be another trade...a thousand other trades. Some of you might want to short the stock. But don't go out any further than Friday on the options. Do not invest more in these puts than you would spend on a billion dollar lottery drawing. Virus-free.www.avg.com

Actionable Trade-Alert from Rick in the Trading Room (Please check all related discussion in the room before you do any trades.)If you've been lurking for the last six months and trade only the seemingly lowest-hanging fruit, don't overdo this one. It's just an average opportunity, nothing special.  Monday, December 18, 2023 10:0010:08  RickGluggl would ripen as a 'mechanical' short at x=137.43. The expiring 135 puts, currently at 0.76 and falling, should be trading for around 0.50 then. Bid 0.450.50 for a few, day order. You can also naked short them while you wait. Here's the chart of Gluggle:10:08  Rickhttps://bit.ly/4843hVM Virus-free.www.avg.com
