The Perfect Business
My entrepreneurial instinct kicked in long before I started trading. Many years ago, living in the Western New York area, many Americans had beach houses along the Canadian side of the border on the white sandy shores of Lake Erie. As a result of many a summers vacationing there, we made friends with the Canadian […]
Hugh Discovers Smart Pills
Walking through the woods with my older brother many years ago, this naïve young kid (me) stumbled upon a little pile of tiny black balls on the ground. “What’s this?” I asked. “Oh, those are smart pills. Eat one and you become smart real fast!” Naturally, I did… then — shocked — spit it right […]
Time to Give Thanks!

The Ultimatum
When my wife, Dale Ann, brought me a coffee this morning, I wished her a happy 4,413th anniversary. That’s how many days we’ve been married. Most were very good days, many were great and a few… well, meh. Our Trading Room partners heard this and, of course, the good-natured folks they are, proceeded to report […]
The Tipping Point: Hugh Decides to Train Others
“Hey Burt, this is unbelievable! There has to be 100 people in this room who paid (name withheld to avoid a costly lawsuit) thousands, plus the cost of coming to Florida for this seminar. We were supposed to watch (name withheld to protect the guilty) trade live, but he’s done none of that!” I continued, […]

Why Trade SPY Options?
Trading SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) options can be appealing for many reasons. Benefits abound but also potential risks in trading these instruments. Why would a long-time trader like me quit everything else to trade just SPY options? The answer is simple: SPY has it all. Its liquidity enables an effortless buy and sell at […]
Engage with a Mentor, not a Financial Advisor
