I think a lot of the companys run up the debt and secondary offerings in their early existence in order to build the infrastructure at the cost of share holders and debtors...only to default later. The telecoms all did it, and I imagine that the satellite equities could too... I haven't...

Nothing wrong with honesty or being a college student in my opinion, but that's my opinion. If you want to throw it out we can take a look, and those that want to comment can. I believe feedback is necessary for learning. The feedback from the market when you screw up is way worse than when...

It's all about the options!

Being that the most successfull firms combined probably only control about $100bb in assets, I don't think a major liquidation among minor players would be good at all for the overall market performance in 2006. All the good news about economic indicators would be mute if there was a mass...

Out at 22.40, or still in? My plan is to close my long 6jan20 puts in December; looking for ~$4. I plan to float my short 6jan17.50 puts and will close them only if I can do it for nickles or dimes. If I let my short puts ride, I will short the stock if the puts go ITM at 17 and stop it at...

you have to pay the previous owner of the security the portion of the dividend due for the time he owned it up to the day before settlement.

Citadel is definately diversifying outside of trading strategies though...Castle Reinsurance. They are probably the most solid hedge out there right now. With the structure and systems that Griff is putting into place, they have a lot of room to grow their asset base.

Ball up and write premium :)

With the hedge fund constituency growing to over a trillion dollars, I wouldn't be suprised to see much more volatility in years to come. Insurance and mutual funds make money when the market goes up, hedge funds go both ways. The bias is still for the market to go up, but I think the growth...

Did anyone tell them about QQQQ??:D :D :D

Have a stop, or riding it?

The only figure they have offered is between $0 and $12 billion. I seem to remember an analyst estimating $7 billion, not sure what that was based upon though.:eek:

If GM bounces this week, I will be adding more 6jan20 puts...it will trade over 3x avg. daily volume today...the institutions are losing confidence.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The National Association of Home Builders' index for sales of new, single-family homes fell to 60 in November from a revised 68 in October, according to data released Wednesday. When the Housing Market Index is over 50, it means the number of builders who see...

We will see who wins :) BTW, that isn't 6 contracts either, that is 06 expiration. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=897693#post897693 Enfinity 11-14-05 10:14 AM ***CST*** didn't wait... Long 6jan20 @ $1.25 Short 6jan17.5 @ $0.70 Out of pocket: $55/contract

bighog...Hummer and Cadillac are the official "luxury" car of the masses...don't you watch MTV cribs! lol j/k The targeted demographic on Cadillac and Hummer is very interesting...I think they are targeting the right people there. BTW, my family currently has 20+ DTS...give them out to the...

A housing Straddle might be a decent play given this could be a short-term pivot point for those stocks. If the news is bad, it will confirm the speculators' sentiment and they will drop; if it's good news, they are trading at low earnings multiples and could shoot up. Disclaimer: Real...

I think GM's story is an example of a systematic problem among Americans...consumer debt. When interest rates head north for real, we will have a huge problem because people won't be able to afford a mortgage refinance to cover their revolving debt. Furthermore, banks will be more risk averse...
