This is the best post I have read on ET in a long time.

Seems like pretty legit trader for the arbitration to give him prospected gains based on his long term track record. He had 9MM laying around to defend his options position. That's also pretty legit.

Apple buys all sorts of technologies from the outside. They are really good at commercializing them. multiswipe (why the iPhone was good) was bought from a uk company. iPad came from Samsung building certain size screens (jobs 7in tablet is doa was because he had locked up all the bigger...

All stocks have delta. The delta of all stocks is 1.

Apple should buy benz. that's a 70bn market cap. The issue with Apple buying any car company is the dealer network. Somewhere it was written that tesla's profit margins are 100% the dealer compensation that legacy car manufacturers have to pay.

I'd figure I would respond to this because it shows your naiveté. Almost any strategy works well for 4 months. Very few strategies work consistently for 10 years. And virtually none have no losing months over 10 years. The "old timers" in this thread and on this board consider 5 figure daily...

You've seen dozens of these guys. They crush it for a few months. Think they have it figured out and then blow up and are never heard from again. To paraphrase Alec Baldwin in Glen Gary Glen Ross And you know what you’ll be saying? Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar. “Oh yeah, I used to be...

I think you are new to this endeavor. I’m happy you are earning but don’t confuse luck with skill and don’t mistake performance at 10k vs 10mm. You are either super right or super levered. The only way to be super right is if you have a real information advantage. It’s easy to be super...

yeah. His assets prob don’t exceed 5 figures.

Two weeks is meaningless. 4 months is meaningless.

Cons rejoice Musk's absolute free speech!

Some on here have mentioned some of these services. I personally think you will have to do the calculations yourself as you are looking at a second and third order effects which these guys won't be processing that properly.

I am not but a lot of people on here are. And they seem to like it.

you will have to do some of the work yourself. But you will get the vol changes through orats And that’s the hardest part.

How do you figure out how many shares you will trade? Two percent represents the number of shares* your stop width. Set your stop width to be under the trend line and figure out how many shares you need to make the risk 2percent.

why is it stupid? It provides a scaling factor. The width to your stop * shares = some percent of your account

For a strategy where i use a similar stop loss. I use 1% of my AUM.

Agreed. To make money you have to predict direction in either spot, vol, or both. The strategy determines how you predict direction. The structure (putspread, butterfly) is how you monetize the strategy. The risks (greeks) are how you describe the structure's profit.

If you are dumb enough to think that the guy stuck with the bill spent the money, what am I making up? Thanks to Trump, I did not pay as much as I should have. So that's Biden's fault.
