You ARE batshit crazy. Whenever I debate guys like you you conveniently leave out all the crashes. So basically the market goes up all the time (except when it doesn't). Of course those times when it doesn't, well that doesn't count. Man I love ET!

Whoa there horsy. What makes you think employee A deserves 100k? Labor is usually bid up to but not more then it's replacement cost.

Yeah these hucketsters use different words, in fact most of the time make them up to cover up what they really are. He was not saying the calls or puts were priced differently, it's just that calls have interest costs embedded in them and puts have the carry interest embedded in them (the...

No, no, no....it has nothing to do with the Fed. You are NEVER going to be able to sell an OTM call to buy an ATM put. Just think about the math for a second. If you are long stock at a 100 and sell the 105 call for a 1 dollar and buy the 100 put for 1 dollar, that means you just bought the...

Marty, let me intervene. I think what they are referring to is a long term split strike collar, not the same strike. This actually could be done 6 or 7 years ago. Higher interest rates raise call prices and lower put prices via the synthetic counterpart. So for example, 6 or 7 years ago...

I use different layers for different purposes. I have always used the 30 day number line. But the 30 day does not "trigger" a trade. Part of the reason for this is usually by the time we get a confirm in something, the product is overbought short term so I patiently wait for an entry...

So I take that to mean, no, you have NOT taken a college finance course. No problem, most of ET hasn't either. Numbers and math are quite a challenge to most ETers. The fact that you are struggling to get this pretty much tells me all I need to know. This is actually very simple stuff...

Dude, have you taken a college finance class? Please be honest. It just will help in terms of how much trouble I have to go through to teach you this stuff. Have you analyzed a financial statement of a publicly traded company? Have you ever done cash flow analysis? DCF? Any of this...

The return is NOT a cash flow!

You still are not getting it. That is my point, there is no "additional dollar" The rich leverage their net worth through debt. In other words, they convert income into debt to create leverage of existing assets. So there is no income, only an asset. I know there is hard to understand...

Cruise control, you have a back ground in math right? You can't annualize sharpe data. So that metric is meaningless. Also using sharpe for short duration strategies is also meaningless. Have you even created a liquidity coefficient?

I don't get it. If it's automated, just keep running it live with your money. Nobody is going to back an 87 day track record. And 99% of backers have no interest in directional strategies or committing capital to overnight stuff and the remote part I guess is the icing on the cake. Jesus...

OK, I guess you have not spent enough time around rich people. Rich people don't pay capital gains taxes. Rich people "in general" own assets. And in "general" those assets are in a trust. There is a trillion dollar industry in this country in the creation and management of trusts...

Your level might be better then mine. We'll split the difference. :)

My confirm came on 6/30. About 4 cents higher then yours. I'll take yours.:)

Sure, in that "perfect" world you created that would be productive. Of course in that perfect world I have a supermodel wife, it's 72 degrees and sunny everyday and I can eat anything I want without gaining weight. Let me know where that place is Martin. Sounds splendid. :)

I sure do miss ya kid. You and Nitro made a good team.

I'm keeping track too sweetheart: SPY 198. :)

Yet? I brought this up to them 5 years ago. For the life of me I don't understand why Ninja can't even compete with a platform like T3. Hell, even IB supports this.
