Nugya, I traded options on futures the entire time on the floor, mostly in the financial room at the CBOT. As for only making money by writing options? Well...some people can do it. If you're wrong you must have extremely good discipline (and enough capital) to get out of a position that...

I traded delta-neutral on the floor for 13 years. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can buy the option bid or sell the offer. Delta neutral traders make their money on the spread between the bid and offer, and it's nearly impossible to do it off the floor. The only thing close to delta...

I agree. This has been a great year if you can be flexible. I love it!

Thanks Pound. Aeron it is.

I found the Aeron chair and I agree, it was very comfortable. Has anyone also tested/bought the Humanscale Freedom chair? Which did you like better? www.humanscale.com

Hi Andy4, If you're doing much trading during the day, I'd use Windows 2000 Pro and also add another hard drive. That's what I did. I use System Guardian/XC 2000 to back up my hard drive every night. If my primary hard drive ever crashes, I can be up and running in a few minutes using the...

I'm 39.

Pound, Thanks. I'll try to find the Relax store close to here.

Bungrider, There's two different versions of the Aeron chair that I've seen online: the fully adjustable one is $800 and the not-so-adjustable is $600. Pound, Is the seat comfortable on the Aeron chair? Is it mesh? I want the seat to breathe so I don't get a sweaty butt...

Hi all, As I mentioned in a few posts earlier this week, I was shopping for some 17" lcds. I found some great deals today at Dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/index.asp?customer_id=04 It's Dell's small business site with an additional 15% off monitors and other peripherals. I...

I'm sitting here pricing lcd monitors and you get much more bang for your buck with the smaller ones. I have two 15" lcds and thought about getting two additional 17" lcds. But after I thought about it in terms of $ per sq. in of screen, I could buy 4 more 15" lcds for the price of 2 17"...

Chris, The IV of the calls and the puts are the same. Maybe the quotes are late to make it appear worthwhile, but I wouldn't advise trying to lock in the profits. The guys on the floor would be all over it. It's free money. Paul

Thanks for all the info. It is helpful to me.

I'm getting ready to buy a couple of 17" flat panel monitors. For those of you who have used flat panels and have seen them with both analog and digital inputs, can you tell the difference? Is digital that much better? Are they worth the cost difference? I'm using two 15" Samsung 570v...

Seth, The G550 is $91 at newegg.com, but if you don't need digital capability, the dual G450 is $79. These are AGP cards. I started with 2 monitors (one laptop and one desktop), added one to the desktop, and it's still not enough! I'm hoping 5 total will satisfy me, at least for a...

Hi all, I'm currently using two 15" lcds with the Matrox G550 card and I'd like to add two 17" lcds to this setup. If I add a dual pci card, will I be able to spread the desktop over the 4 monitors and also adjust for the different resolutions that the 15" and 17" lcds require? If the...
