If the spread is for a credit, then it should be "sto".

This is exactly the reason. If you back a couple days from Exp. date then you would see why you lost money.

Just got an email from TOS. They've merged with InvesTools.... Hello Swimmers, We're getting hitched! The rumors are true, but don't worry. We haven't lost our cool. You know those sappy cards that newlyweds send out that say "1 plus 1 equals 1?" We hate those, too. That's why in our...

I've already stated that I am not talking about equities or futures. I'll end it here; I am really not interested in getting into a pissing match like so many threads ended up (show me your trading statement ... or, my daddy can beat your daddy, etc). I am sorry that I brought it up. This...

Chances of passing all three levels the first time you sit for it is slim. So it may take you a lot more than 3 years to complete. If you have a demanding full time job, studying for the CFA, trading (or to learn) in conjunction with the demanding job would be a toll. Not to mention if you...

I never imagined that we are the same age .... good going OC, you're ahead of me already :)

Wow ....
