1) Simply absurd. There is no implicit edge in buying or selling options. Any initial position (long or short) is immediately a loss in the retail world due to commissions and the spread. Any edge (or perceived edge) is due to one's reasoning behind initiating the position. Only time can...

It was a long time ago. I'll never forget those hush puppies though. They still haunt my dreams...

I'm not from New York. I visited once. Someone tried to mug me in Central Park. Ironically, I think they were wearing brown hush puppies...

I've never heard a great guy say these words :D

OP, If vols are what you're looking for, VIX options 30 day vols have been > 100 and implieds are normally around 60. Granted, VIX options are a different animal...

Tell me, tell me. I'm tired of being wrong...

WPA2 is actually divided into two different "classes" for lack of a better term. Home (pre-shared keys) and Enterprise (dynamic keys via Extensible Authentication Protocol or EAP). The last I heard WPA2 with pre-shared keys is extremely hackable (just as easy as WEP these days). To date I...

I was about to post the same question but then I figured out the answer. I'm a little on the slow side...

1. How not to lose money. After you learn number 1 then you can concentrate on number 2. 2. How to make money.

Yeah, but the perks in politics can't be beat. True knowledge of financial instruments is often a discovery process (and an expensive one at that). You won't be able to learn anything until you're actually willing to learn, all vitriol aside. Good luck to you...

Sounds like the Evolution vs. Creationism "debate". Derivman, with this kind of spin you should be a politician. Perhaps it's time to ignore the "experts" and think for yourself.

A new trader trying to quit his day job and make 10K a month on 50K capital. I think you're going to get on famously here at ET :D

This is priceless...

In your case speed and performance won't be a factor. The hard drives are probably SATA and have a very fast I/O. The only thing to consider in this case is redundancy. If you require it then RAID 1 or RAID 5 would be the choice. I run a RAID 5 system which has lost a disk and recovered...

Add "tops and bottoms" into your subject and I also agree.

LOL...I just received my entertainment value for the day. Where do I deposit my quarter?

You are correct, I forgot to include the intinsic value. The only point I was trying to make is that either way (conversion or reversal) there is no free money or pricing disparity. If you can come away with a credit by stepping into a spread you still won't beat the carrying cost. The risk...

I can't answer your question because I can't validate the exact moment your pricing was taken from. I took quotes of AGIX at 15:50.00. Here are the prices AGIX = Bid 10.23, Ask 10.24 March 10 Call = Bid 1.10, Ask 1.35 March 10 Put = Bid 1.05, Ask 1.10 Assuming nickel pricing if I...

I didn't ask you if you considered carrying cost. Carrying cost is the reason for price disparities in same strike options. Implied volatilty has nothing to do with relative prices of options at the same strike. I'll say this again. If the difference between same strike options is more or...
