I Just wrapped up another Schwab TV appearance, and I had to break some hearts today. Everyone's losing their minds over Netflix and this Warner Bros merger saga. Here's what I told them - push the noise aside and look at what the chart's actually saying. Sometimes the obvious contrarian play sittin
I don't look at bubbles from the top down. I look at them from the bottom up. It's all the pieces of crap that got pulled higher. While everyone's losing their minds over Oracle cratering 40% from its September peaks, they're missing where the real carnage lives. Sure, AI stocks are finally getting
Look, you wanna really get me going? Start talking about LEAPs. Long-term equity anticipation securities. Don't even get me started on LEAPs. I hate LEAPs. Actually, scratch that - I'm already started, so let's do this. Anybody that actually uses LEAPs doesn't know what the beep they're even doing i

Goes against everything you've been told about diversification, but here's the math that'll mess with your head. Google and NVIDIA combined? $8 trillion in market cap. Add them up and Google's basically a $4 tr

Today reminded me why trading keeps you humble. I closed my Starbucks put spread for a 30% gain, and this morning everyone's telling me I'm an idiot. "You should have waited, Don. Look, it's down another 25 cents. You could have had 55% instead of 30%." Yeah, well, I didn't. And neither did you.
Don Kaufman here. Everyone's betting on rate cuts saving the day. Fed cuts mean cheaper borrowing, right? I'm looking at the actual futures right now – the ZQ Fed funds where people bet real money – and they're telling a completely different story. December Fed funds futures are pricing 3.7325%. Cur
