🐶 My Advice to Beginners: Start Small, Be Patient, and Keep Learning
Options trading may look daunting at first, but I believe anyone willing to learn step by step can gradually understand how it works. My advice is to start with the basics: understand calls and puts, strike prices, expiration dates, premiums, and the risks involved before putting real money on the line.
📚 Does It Take Long to Learn Options Trading?
I would say the basics can be learned in a few weeks, but mastering options trading takes much longer. Learning the mechanics is one thing; managing emotions, understanding market conditions, and controlling risk is another. Even experienced traders continue learning because the market is always changing.

🚨 $QQQ WEEKLY WARNING — 3 BLACK CROWS COMING??? 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
$QQQ just did something I don’t love heading into the weekend:Weekly 21 EMA: ~$711Weekly Close: ~$705🔴 QQQ CLOSED BELOW THE WEEKLY 21 EMA.A quick tag below the 21 EMA is one thing.Closing the week below it is different.And now we have:🐦⬛ Crow #1: Down week🐦⬛ Crow #2: Another down week🐦⬛ Crow #3: Flying in next week…?We are now 2 straight weeks down, and another decisive red weekly candle could start looking a whole lot like the classic Three Black Crows bearish reversal setup.But here’s what I’m REALLY watching:🎯 THE IDEAL RESETA post-FOMC flush toward the weekly 50 SMA — roughly $665 — would be much more interesting to me than chasing downside here.$700 is the FLOOR TO DEFEND!Why?That would bring $QQQ much closer to the equity-vs-bond parity zone we’ve been tracking as Treasury yields have risen.In other words:Stocks pull back → earnings yield improves → valuation becomes more competitive with bonds.That’s the reset.🔥 NEXT WEEK'S BATTLEReclaim $711: Bulls begin repairing the chart.Stay below $711: Weekly pressure remains.Another heavy red week: 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛Three Black Crows enters the conversation.Flush toward ~$$675 - 665: Painful short term — but potentially the healthier valuation reset we've been waiting for.The first two crows are already sitting on the fence.Does the third one land after FOMC? 👀🐦⬛🍿 🍿🍿🍿🌟🌟🌟A Big Thank You @optionspuppyfor sharing your investing journey.

Thanks for the great insights Options Puppy! You mentioned "A good company can still fall substantially, and a great story can still be a terrible investment if I enter at the wrong price or take too much risk." and I totally agree with you on that. As per your username suggests, I thought you would be more into Options trading but I take that back after reading through your interview. That being said, my questions to you are as follow:
1. How do you use Options strategically to earn some steady profits? (say for example cash secured puts)
2. For laymans who have 0 knowledge on options trading, what advice would you give for us to learn and potentially use options statistics as a better guide for trading/investing without having the need to actually play with options?
3. Do you recommend DCA-ing into ETFs or buy 1 shot at a reasonable size during a crash (recession etc) and hold till the next major dip?

From your name, I guess rightly in terms of Option trading. Your Option Puppy name is approachable.
My questions to you are:-
1. What do you mainly buy? Is it stocks, options only? Or do you buy other types of company shares?
2. Grateful for you to share on your mindset. How do you able to pick the right time?
3. Which quality stocks do you prefer?
4. Even though it is the lesson you learn, I am curious how to be able to live when you invest. Though it is important to be calm, it can lead to despair at particular point in time. Do you share to someone who truly understands you?

Global Hedge Funds Suffered One of Their Largest Declines Since COVID on Thursday
Bloomberg10/23/2026 Global hedge funds suffered one of their broadest declines since the Covid pandemic following the stock market selloff on Thursday, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s prime brokerage desk.“For the first time since Covid, all three broad equity strategies fell more than 1% on the same day,” the firm said in a note to clients. Global fundamental long/short managers were down 1.4% at the market close on Thursday, their worst day since July 16, with telecommunications, media and technology-focused funds falling by an average of 2.7%, according to the note. Global systematic long/short managers were hit by their third-worst day since December 2023, dropping 1.3%. Even multistrategy platforms — the pod shops whose broad mix of portfolio managers are designed to protect against firm-wide drawdowns — slid 1.9% for their second-worst day since the April 2025 tariff selloff.Tech stocks in the US were sold heavily on Thursday on mounting concerns over whether massive spending on artificial intelligence will bear fruit. The Nasdaq 100 Index slid 2.9%, the most since June, as fears over oil-induced inflation added to the woes. Even bearish positions aren’t necessarily paying off during a volatile earnings season. “Based on estimates from our prime book, more than two-thirds of hedge funds finished down on the day as concentrated shorts were squeezed further in the second half of the session,” the prime brokerage said.Asia fundamental long/short managers also lost money, with month-to-date declines at 9.3%. Even so, their hedge fund returns remain broadly positive so far this year at 14.2%, according to the note.The selloff was the latest chapter in a wild ride for AI stocks this year, as rallies in shares like SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc.have been punctuated by painful declines. In July, a rout in technology shares pushed hedge fund Situational Awareness to the brink, raising fears that the AI bull run was losing steam.
