Not the smart one in your family are ya? I consider myself to have VERY strong politcal views and VERY strong opinions yet at the same time I'm pretty fair and balanced. Being fair does NOT mean you don't have a view, it simply means you present or are willingly to hear both sides of a story...

OK, so let's walk through this. Say you put on a calendar spread in Aug/Sept at the 100 strike in XYZ which is trading at a 100. You sell the spread for 2.00. You want the broker to ask you how much in margin? Right now you will put up 2k for this trade to sell the spread and $200 to buy the...

What are you asking? A trade for the day, the week, the month, the year? Nobody here is going to time this. Are you asking for a trade to put into your IRA for 30 years that could have a 100 to 1 payoff. I'll give you trades but here's the deal, there are an infinite number of time frames...

This has nothing to do with Gold. When you devalue money, you are essentially devaluing faith in the entire financial system altogether. This has serious repercussions. If you think we can destroy our currency and go on living our way of life as if nothing has happened then what you are...

I'm not talking about the dollar. The question was asked if ALL currencies basically get devalued vs hard assets and we see banks fail, central banks fall under pressure and the standard of living around the world downtick massively. Look at what's going on in Europe right now. It's not...

Nobody knows how this is going to play out so there are many things that happen. I have no idea myself. But the things I recommended will work regardless. :)

Here's my concern with Gold. The central banks around the world are the largest holders of Gold. If they get squeezed they will have to dump their gold on the market to raise cash. I could see a trade where Gold goes parabolic briefly and then crashes as the Fed starts unloading into the rally.

Buy land, guns, ammo, medicine and some good guard dogs. I'm serious too.

I'll try to clear things up. Futures markets that have different contracts are margined according to risk. Your broker has a margin schedule to follow for all the contracts. Equity options are treated as naked when the deferred month is sold and for good reason. You have unlimited loss...

No. When you devalue your currency, you devalue your standard of living. You cannot grow prosperity by making your currency worthless. No civilization since ancient Babylon has been able to devalue themselves to prosperity. It's outright theft. It robs the middle class of their assets and...

Yeah, you're wrong. During heavy deflation debt usually gets "liquidated" as in defaults. You DON'T get your money back. Hence why bankruptcies surged during the 2008 credit crisis. Hence why credit default swaps went parabolic due to defaults. Hence why firms like Lehman and Bear went...

But it IS a naked option. It's not a hedged position. Not even close.

Hannity is probably the most polite guy on cable news on the editorial side. Which is why I don't like him. He is just a really boring guy. I'm sorry but most of us have 500 channels and if you are going to keep my attention, you better be lively. I'm not saying you have to scream at people...

Capturing market trends intra-day? LOL. Aye, aye Captain. Full speed ahead. Moby Dick is awaiting...

I'm looking forward to the return of "Crossfire". And one of my fav girls will be representing the right:

I'm still here. There is a lot of stuff on this thread in the archives that people can look up. I'm working on a lot of proprietary stuff for ACD that I don't want to post here. I think a lot of people came by here, read the thread, tried a few trades, go frustrated and left. Like you said...

If any of you guys want to watch an interesting discussion on religion, I think you will find more value here then in "religious". And before you get upset that it's Glenn Beck, Penn Jillette does an outstanding job articulating his atheist beliefs. The back and forth is very insightful and I...

LL Cool J is a right leaner.

Robert Downey Jr moved right after he got out of prison. Doing time completely changed his life and his politics.
