    Paranoid about selling Options?

    FTW! I am up 10% on client money in a TOS account for the month of June and I never took the account over 0.3%. Keeping a reasonable lid on theta allows you to stick with the position. I don't consider 1% terribly conservative.

    Paranoid about selling Options?

    It's akin to a mental stop... you have to be mental to carry more risk than what equates to a (linear) 30% monthly ROC due to theta.

    Notional meaning book size.

    Paranoid about selling Options?

    I reduce positions if my theta exceeds 1% of notional. Even if I am up substantially. I have exceeded that number many times, but only for a short period. You're running too much risk, IMO.

    Trading PC FAQ - All You Need to Know...

    But can it run Minecraft MP Skywars at 60fps? Awesome thread, btw. I bought the last dual-cpu rig you mentioned in another thread (from ebay) as a back-up machine and it does indeed game very well. ;)

    AAPL stock split...which stock to trade now?

    23% was unsustainable, but look at GOOG's 40-50 pt range after their 2 for 1 split. Now it's trading at nearly one year lows on vola on a $90 spot.

    AAPL stock split...which stock to trade now?

    The ATM combo is $0.20 here. The ATM combo was not $1.40 wide pre-split. Sure, you can improve on that and get close to mid. The volume is down for a reason. It now trades like a Dow component, and as such, is worthless to me. Adding in 5x the comms at a 15 figure on stat-vol isn't a help. Are...

    AAPL stock split...which stock to trade now?

    They are talking out of your ass. The spread (% of notional) is actually wider. IOW, it is not 1/7 of what it was... more like 1/4. The HV has dropped four handles since the split, and IV is down about the same. Now IV is up? They could not be more wrong.

    It was excellent. I'll say that I'd be careful with kids under 12... the IMAX theater was extremely loud. A lot of kids holding their ears and complaining about the sound levels.
