You’re not going to believe this but I got a condescending lecture by AI on my trading and worse yet, AI was right! The story started with the idea of buying QQQ but I rarely ever go online and execute a “buy” trade. When I enter a position, I prefer to get a discount either…

Built A Third Financial App – Japanese Yen or Silver?
I wanted to buy some Japanese Yen via a put ratio trade but the apps I’ve built so far are great but they scan the entire market and give me the gold and weren’t giving me the yen (pun intended). So I decided to get Gemini to build me a new app that would allow…
Stock Market Valuations In 2026
I have been worried about stock market valuations for quite some time. So much so that I predicted my own layoff back in September of 2023 not because I am clairvoyant but because I’m old and have lived through enough recessions and stock market shocks that I ought to know better by now. I was…
My First AI Driven Trades
As I’ve written about creating a new app to help me find net credit collars on equities, I finally decided to trust AI with a couple of trades. Unfortunately the market isn’t static so what you see on a report is likely to change quickly. I had expected to trade the items in highlight in…
New Financial App: Options Put Ratio Finder
I’m sitting on the recliner in my house watching Wisconsin playing Villanova and getting bored so I decided to check out some put spread options for fun and then it hit me! I can build a new app for a YouTube video I saw a while back from Options with Davis. If you want to…
Update On My First Financial Trading App
I am just amazed that I am now having Gemini write code for me and it’s actually doing what I want. I don’t have to pay any developer, I don’t have to have conference calls, I don’t need to setup infrastructure. I don’t need to wait, mistakes or errors get fixed almost instantly with chat…
Managing Margin Calls: The Grinch or Santa?
There are $7 trillion dollars in options expiring today. I sent the image below to my siblings about someone’s Christmas bonus going up in smoke as I exercised my put option and forced a margin call on someone out there in the world. They are going to have to cough up $6500 by Monday to…
Building Apps With Gemini Pro – My Third App Sneak Peak!
I’m so excited about my unfinished third app that I wanted to write a post about it! This is my first financial app that is centered around fixing a very annoying and time consuming problem I wrote about recently here. For some quick background, because the economy is spiraling downhill I’ve been trading net credit…
From AI Financial Advisor To Portfolio Action
This week I have started some year end tax planning and thanks to AI, I have also updated my investment portfolio based on some of their recommendations. Regular readers of this blog know that I believe in the three bucket portfolio: taxable, tax deferred and tax exempt. The link in the prior sentence has some…
AI: When To Use The Right Options Strategy
I have been writing about my options strategy for a while now the past couple of years. In 2023 and 2024, I wrote about Covered Calls and this year I have been more heavily focused on Net Credit Collar trading. Someone asked me how I determine which strategy to use in what environment and I…
