with all those massive buyouts , the skew should be on the calls side and vix should go up when markets rises , lol

any index with "re balancing" weighting style can be manipulated , IMO

lol , Mo . Yes , its a dirty job , but somebody must do it :) The 25:1 r/r ( also add a few SD) , means that you can be right/take money for a long long time , until you don't. hmmm , why are you so afraid to revive the old threads , what are you hiding , MO ??? :)

excellent post , you should re post it here : http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49586&perpage=6&pagenumber=1853 Notice that this thread has all ET records ( # of views , pages , replies) , so I guess a lot of people here would disagree with you :) BTW , do you...

overpriced for whom , buyer or seller ? You are paying higher vols on your long strike than you selling on your short one in IC (for puts) , no ?

this post was a sarcasm reply to others two or three challenges ala "if...then I will...". BTW , are you calling me a low life ?

VIX is a function of both premium and fear. When market tanks hard , the OTM put's skew heavily affecting average.

The answer to many of your questions is here ( from Riskless): "don't trade options w/o a directional or volatility bias".

me ? In trouble ? Never , I had a decent week :) BWT , saw your PnL ; looks like it has a very high correlation with # of your posts , about 1$ of profit per post. Not bad , u need more money just post more... :):):)

I am their last hope , the phone rings like crazy ; the best offer so far is buy 5 get one free ( on the bid , commish free) , but I am still thinking. :)

true , but ramp in vega will come with inverse of price ( market goes down) , and then gamma gains will be ahead , no ?

to assign bearish bias one should sell less of OCT and more of DEC ( and to get at least double $ credit)

WTF , frustration

looks like I will not be leaving ET any soon ...

I see. That what I thought (margins). BTW , you should take slightly OTM position , this was you will have a small vega gains if market goes either ways.

OC , lol , your trade is exactly the opposite of what I'm testing now. What are the margins req for your trade ? (we both have one naked ATM call , so retail margins should be the same/close)

subscribing to the fight ... err , I meant thread :)

not really , they just have to learn how to hide their negative trades. Somewhere on ET there is a sample how one site did it with spread option's trades , where they showed positive trades only , but "rolled" bad trades to another month
