Hey everyone, this is Kirkier again from Option're working every single week to make this the most popular investing podcast offered online because it's based on one thing and one thing only and that's helping you guys make smart trades.

So again, thank you so much for tuning in today on today's show.

We are going to be talking about why some option trades seem to explode in your face and what

you should do about it. And I really use this analogy of explode in your face because I think it's so fitting for what we're going to talk about today because some people get so wrapped up in these trades that are huge airfingers quotes, huge losers or that are completely going against them or

seems like the world is ending I mean you kind of interject whatever you want it's like

total dramatic effect of how a position is working against them or whatever the case is.

But I want to help you try to understand why that might be happening and then what we can do about it.

So kind of cause and then effect or what the symptom is and how we can

improve it what's the medication what's the the diagnosis so we're going to be

going through a couple of these things I think I've got about four or five

different things I want to kind of touch on here today but two quick stories and then I'll

describe and hopefully this analogy will work pretty well for describing what

I'm talking about here today so the first one is we actually just had a big barbecue

for my son and his baptism just

this past weekend so at the time that we released a show just this past weekend we

had a great baptism for my son and everyone was over for this huge family

barbecue and we have tons of people here and

thankfully the weather where I live actually cooperated because I felt like it's

been raining non-stop but it was actually a really nice day.
