EVRG Stock News Headlines

A lot of people are making this costly mistake
You may have heard the saying “options are risky” … And, they can be. But only if you use them the way a lot of folks do. A lot of people think of BUYING speculative options when they talk about options. And BUYING low probability, speculative options is definitely risky… It’s how some folks leverage large sums of money hoping that a stock moves in the “right” direction over a certain period of time.
Buy Friday, Sell Monday, No Exceptions
Every week traders grind it out Monday through Friday… But neglect trading Friday to Monday… Or… “over the weekend” As one professional trader explains, trading over the weekend is one of the most forgiving strategies you can use today. It allows him to sidestep a lot of the midweek volatility. Yet, gives him the opportunity to target some of the markets biggest stock moves. Just recently, he posted a trade on Nordstrom… The trade was published at 3pm on a Friday afternoon and by Monday morning the trade more than doubled.
