BINGO excellent post!

damm you got me again! I should have known we were looking at 1.3 delta options.

Your graph is flawed since you're paying time premium and therefore the bottom of the graph has to start below the horizontal axis

The wrost case scenario on any strategy where you only buy options is always the same, the scenario where you lose the premium you paid. If you buy the guts strangle or the regular one as people have already pointed out you'll lose whatever time premium you paid if the stock does not have a...

Hysterical nothing funnier than watching people fighting on an internet board about something neither of them can prove in real life. No one knows anything about anyone else so all “claims” are moot. Thanks for the laughs

Yea spin, I always correct all your mistakes because you clearly know nothing about derivatives and I am here to school you. LOL

Let me help you... The chances of not being assigned on a call like that when there is a significant dividend in play are very near zero

As I said you cant trade them with yourself, aka paint the tape.

This is the dividend lottery game, I have outlined it on this forum many times over the years. There is a catch… its really better if there are two strikes with high OI because you can’t buy and sell the same option to yourself. In this case you can buy and sell the spread of the two strikes...

I prefer the nitrous to the helium, reminds me of the good old days at a Dead show

Your strategy is based on "hope". Now I realize that hope, wishing and prayer are the top three strategies on many MB's but historically they're about as poor as you can get.

Look at your risk free rate, the cost to carry is almost nothing these days

When anyone who is long the same option you sold exercises their contract you are at risk of being assigned. The particular counter party who was on the other side of your trade is not important. When an exercise card is handed in to exercise any option anyone who is short that option has a...

Nothing like a phony blow hard trying desperately to portray himself as something he is not on an anonymous message board to make me laugh. IS there anyone here who does not have seven figure days regularly and whose wife is stone smoking hot and loves to blwo you while you trade from your...

Looking at the VOLA charts the vols too a beating today. Dont waste your time looking at the implied volatility in a call trading at 4 cents.

You forgot one outcome on your %'s above LOL Hope you didnt follow your own advice. If I were you I would lay off the predictions for a while till your crystal ball clears up.

Sorry but thats not a myth, and you're wrong. Take for example a bigger div so the point is clear. A few years back MSFT issued a 2 dollar plus a share div. The moment trading ends on ex div day the stock falls byt the amount of the DIV. The company is not worth any less its just that the DIV...

THe may atm straddle is pricing a nearly 20 dollar move in the stock.

Who said you cant make money? What people have said is that you're making money if the stock goes up not because of the options. If you always pick stocks that go up you dont need options, you dont need anything but your magical stock picking abilities. On the other hand if you think that...
