Bit confused from what everyone is saying but my understanding is that in a volatile market the price of an out of the money option is higher that of the same option in a less volatile market . (in a volatile market the otm options has more chances to bocome in the money ) So i guess i...

One does not simply suggest a default on salaries and pensions . Seriously , imagine the chaos in the 2 days of default. Or they could introduce another type of “money” for daily transactions but then its bye bye Euro (some believe not just for Greece)

Have you made 250K from trading ??? I am not saying its much but its enough to attract greedy “sharks” that want to take advabtage of you . The topic starter might be a leggit member with a leggit question but he phrased his question the wrong way . He could say “I just sold my...

Totally agree that you must refrain from trading especially at times you have a series of bad trades . Not only patience is requitred but also a clear mind . A series of losing trades will cloud your judgement . That doesnt mean that you wont monitor what the market ia doing . You just...

the fact that they have lots of money leads me to believe that its some kind of small time scam in the lines of “oh i have so much money but its tied up , please trade for me and Iwill give the money later” or some other type of scam that takes advantage of peoples greed . I...

Greece will default at some point in the next 5 years but at a time when you least expect it . A default wont happen any time soon and will certainly wont happen with the eyes of the world focused on Europe and Greece.

10$ is an overstament . Lowest price is 17.73$ . My feeling is that its going down but if i could sell it today i would close my position at 18 . I see itlower but no lower than 15 PS I personally believe that Facebook is overpriced at any price

lack of confidence . Always believing i made a wrong trade . This proves usefull when you actually made a bad desision but as someone else pointed out this leads to close a winning trade too soon . Lack of confidence is not bad on results but spoils the whole fun of trading .

The 1st is like playing black and red on a roulette but by betting 407 you get 433 and not 407. The other one seems very conservative and chances are that you will lose the 50$ thatn win the 1000$ . On paper the 1st one gives the better return (better than a roulette anyway) but if i...
