I agree with your post. Unfortunately, I get the feeling many others have just adjusted to "asset inflation creep". Senor Zen

I really dig Viewsonic. I have had probably a half dozen Viewsonic monitors over the past 3-4 years and never a problem (knock on wood). And until very recently, I couldnt justify buying the LCD's because the specs were not favorable (ie I like 1600x1200 res) on a cost to performance basis...

See now this is a very interesting and under reported development. The simple fact that you have this massive appreciation in properties in coastal areas, you have many people whose entire financial net worth is tied up into these properties and YET there is no possible way they can insure...

Zhivodka: Notice I was referring to SPX, OEX, XEO, hence my comments. Not trying to sabotage this thread, but sometimes the devil is in the details as we all know. I tried to walk away from the thread and perhaps it was not done gracefully.

yeah, but ur trying to talk sense to the same guy who makes it his mission in life to defend JC. Clearly, a few screws loose with this guy. Senor Zen

Is this yet another one of Surfer's handles or what? I bet the guy has a stash of aliases as they toss his ass out of this place every week. Senor Zen

I agree. And Im not really in the mood to argue with the others about their market religion. And I have traded the spreads game et al since 1997, but I just dont feel that a market that widens its spreads as vol drops to historic lows is such a great gig anymore. So that is my final comment...

This is the kind of stuff that is ideally suited to OPM. I cant even tell the neophytes reading this thread what a train wreck strategies like this can turn into in a fast and illiquid market. The spreads on index options products have widened considerably even as the volatility has dropped...

A couple of different issues at work. We are seeing inflation in this country and its being purposely under reported. However, thats not the focus of my reply. One of the biggest contributors to muted inflation has to be labor costs. And the labor costs have been contained by the large...

well, I did find some information. It's a matter of whether or not he is, in fact, offering advice on the buying and selling of futures contracts to an audience larger than 15 people. I have come across enough vendors on the internet, and I do know that quite a number of them were...

Looks like Brandon weaseled his way out of answering that question. Over 4000 subscribers and he doesnt need to register with the regulatory agencies. Senor Zen

Brandon: Can you explain to us why you are not registered with the NFA? If exempt, could you explain to us why you are exempt? Senor Zen

That expression may have been born in the late 1990's. I can still remember a time back in 98-00 when guys could and would buy expiration day straddles in the OEX on the thursday prior to expiration and would come out ahead a vast majority of the time. Nowadays it seems that the volatility...

Im not bashing Cramer. He is what he is. Just sycophant's like u who make it their full time job to hype. Senor Zen

I just think of it as people "talking their book". Senor Zen
