    Does anyone have VaR

    google search is my last option , just too many results. Its always takes me a lot of time to get to the right site . I was hoping that maybe someone on ET had it and don't mind to share.

    Does anyone have VaR

    asap , I understand ( I think). I thought that stock's correl carries a lot of weight here. Sure , an overnight move can be easily calculate by use of SD under assumption that all stocks will move in the SAME direction under "normal" market conditions. But how to incorporate dispersion weight...

    I hear covered call sellers are making a killing in this market

    Its a new concept in option's terminology , I saw ppl use it a lot on some other message board. One can use "blended" as in "Blended position in context of price recoverability analisys " . LOL and LOL

    Steep vol curve -> Negative Skew gamma?

    are you asking if option can rise (or fall) more than a stock in real life ? If yes , it happened to my positions few times. OTM call on ALGN gained 1.30 while stock was up 1.10 due to gains of 2500bp in vols in one day.

    Homebuilder valuations

    sc23 , many of those fundamental's key stats won't tell much...pay more attention to "do what I do and not what I say" info like short interest and money flow . SI for this group went from app 16 to > 60 in the last three month. This was done by real smart money ; now watch their next move(s)...

    Long gamma scalping

    I think we will see sharp collapse in equity vols today/beginnig of the next week. With theta entering its steepest curve longs better pray for big moves in stocks. Even vols on some reporting co are very very high . AIG (next week) at 50??? WTF

    Long gamma scalping

    unbelievable scalping action on GS. A real alpha trade where true ( inc intraday) realized volty is at 50 and iv is around 40. Stock moves 1$ in the matter of minutes. Bet is on inverse price/vols action. Sell 200 strike aug/sep calendars and long stock. Ratio varies from 8:1 to 12:1 depending...
