    Lets hear from the successful shorts

    yes , I did. There is atleast 20 eastern European countries that use this word. I was surprised to learn that this word has the same meaning in Italian (Roman group)

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    Rally , thanks for the article. The key words are "institutional" traders(other people money). So who lost all those millions that those geniuses made ? Who went long on vols ?

    Where to get accurate IV for pricing?

    Especially confusing is a "mean" IV calcs. All those different weights given to time to exp , strikes and volume per strike.

    2006 World Cup in Germany - Soccer

    Those commies sure know how to make friends , ah ? LOLl. You should see all the hate toward Argentina on ESPN message board everytime this cheating commie Maradona is on TV. But I'm still hoping to see GER-BRA final ; at least up to now the best two teams in WC.

    Systematic US Equities Investing

    I heard the same argument (the edge has been exploited) before. What does it means ? There was imbalance in vols between components and Index 15 years ago ? And now its gone ? Riskarb mentioned it too once and I read the same on the internet. Then , what about the perfect option's pricing...

    Straddle?

    its depends of how many days left to expirations (on the day of report). Lesser days=larger spike in vols. Vols do revert to its mean after report , but with the big ABS move in the spot this fact becomes irrelevant. As MTE stated before , its not as simple as its looks.

    Nice try , troll. Its a fifth time you going thru the same routine , first naive question of "what should I use" and then (eureka !) posting the link for your spam.

    Straddle?

    If front month vols will spike , back month vols will spike too. Always.

    Q's Straddle before FOMC

    Only if q's moves down. With flat to upward move vols will collapse and erase gamma gains. I will go long on straddle/strangle for gamma scalp two days before the meeting and close all 5 minutes before announcement.
