  1. Love Tasty Trade. You guys have helped me see trading in a different light
  2. she is getting investigated
  3. 1)she would have been fine if she just realized losses at 5-6%, reset her positions to bring back 3-4 % that month, and moved on.
    2) her drawdowns were in spikes in the market that weren't that big (10-14%). She should have been more than safe. She must have been way too big.
    17:46 i guess didn't hold true. Greed DID become a part of her personality, i guess lol
  4. I am as good as she is probably better.
  5. does she have any teaching service ? where can i find her ? (website etc...)
  6. wow ha ha that's funny and interesting. Has she been a naughty lady?
  7. You guys are like politicians-talk a lot and say nothing. Karen now busted by SEC. Thanks for wasting my time.
  8. is that possible to riding on her position? how can i do that?
  9. Karen is under indictment by the SEC. I just read the legal brief. It is available for download right now. Simply put she was losing money on her strategies. Covered her loses by writing in the money calls and puts. Taking that premium and placing the capital in her accounts. The SEC is calling what she did fraud. Sad.
  10. super fraud
  11. Where can I buy naked put options against everyone's portfolio that has commented here?
  12. Her strategies are extremely risky. They are prone to huge losses and now the SEC is after her...

    This article explains pretty well.

  13. WHATS difference between Options and regular stocks trading. i been trading stocks under 10$ for few months and been profitable but i heard Options are super profitable if done right. where to start with those ? anyone has an idea ?
  14. Selling Naked Options has been around for decades and everyone doing it has eventually blown up. I think Karen just has no idea how much risk she is taking. The volatility regime has been very benign since 2009 (thanks to the FED) and she has gotten away with it. In fact this strategy has been so widely discredited on Wall Street that no major hedge fund engages in it. Why not? Because there is no such thing as a free-lunch. You WILL lose your shirt at some point..plain and simple.
  15. Awesome info
  16. 15:43 Is an admission that an outlier event would blow up her account. It wouldn't even take a 1987 sized crash. The 1987 crash was a 45% move in a month. She is admitting in this part of the video that a move 1/2 the size of 1987 would blow up her account.
  17. hi you there ???? this a big deal to Karen because she started with a bulk of money my question is how about if you can only afford 300dollars to begin with. but Karen this is my challenged to you as you earned 300millions which is big enough for those who are poor Now my challenge for KAREN is this why don't you put a 1000dollars for those people who desires to follow your trading system I am one of those who challenge you.....
  18. I've been watching your videos and I think they are very informative, BUT I wish you would get to the point in your interviews faster. A lot of questions you ask has this extended preface which I often skip over because I find it mostly irrelevant. I wish the interviews were more condensed.
