    Some guy bought a bunch of GE puts for 5,10 sold 7.50

    He put that trade on mid week ahead of tomorrows earnings. The added volatility expansion provides a opp to trade out the contracts lowering average cost. If GE's report and guidance looks pitiful the stock will trade lower and that fly will trade higher by all measures ahead of weekend theta...

    thinkorswim acquired by ameritrade.

    Aside from the information already in this thread i thought i'd pass along some information from one of the co-founders. Pardon any repetition. Clearing will eventually move to AMTD once they are able to handle everything that ToS can do. (It seems there is a contract with Penson through...

    thinkorswim acquired by ameritrade.

    Is Quotetracker a Java based program ? Realtick is raw unadulterated data. Why i use it. And yes, the price is a joke but they don't care about the small fish. They have several institutions using their platform. I am looking for another raw feed though with similar capabilities so if...

    Retail Trader vs Market Maker and the Winner..?

    If you want to "beat" a MM date his mistress and kick his son's ass for not studying hard enough in that private school using your slippage $$ as tuition. You don't have to beat anyone except yourself. Their game enables you to get fills. Who will fill your order ? The other greasy trader...

    Marketsurfer's bold gold proclamation

    No inflation for some time. Lower probability of total financial meltdown. Treasuries will float until the cheque arrives and that is a ways off. Governments have put backing cash reserves with hard assets on the back burner. Next big leg in Gold is to $500 area. I agree with Surf. Be...

    thinkorswim acquired by ameritrade.

    Existing customer commissions are grandfathered. But, what about clearing and executing brokers ? Are they dumping Citi, Citadel, Etc. and Penson in place of AMTD clearing and execution ?

    thinkorswim acquired by ameritrade.

    Sosnoff says a lot of things. Most of which are from an Iced Tea high. I'm not pleased that an overgrown bucket shop has acquired one of the last independent well run brokerages. The people at ToS are truly special. If it means anything, the guys did hold up their end of the bargain...

    Safe way to sell put options?

    First, thank Jebus GE implied's are up. Second, is there a problem with selling October vols ? I like a faster burn, close to the edge, down by the water (Yes). I'm bee-bopping all over Oct (collected 1.76 for the 17.5p-closed) and still short the 22p. I hold a chunk of GE shares down here...
