Managing your personal balance sheet is part of running your "trading business." Money is fungible. You should borrow at the lowest rate you can with the longest maturity, easiest pre-payment penalties, and tightest recourse. If some car salesman will lend me 75k for my wife's car at 2% over 7...

which is why I’m surprised you made such an extreme statement. You have always been more nuanced.

I wouldn’t make such extreme statements. When you manage your risk in a straddle you are always naked short at least one side (unless you are buying options to manage the risk, but that’s not a strangle). covered calls are basically long 50 delta. You are basically saying no one long term...

I know everyone is different but vba is my goto for virtually everything. There’s almost nothing I can’t build in an hour or two.

you didn’t specificy delta hedging the strangle. Two different trades completely and the hedges strangle still has infinite loss risk on both sides (unless it becomes a married put or a covered call, but then you are likely massively underwater)

Those aren’t financialization. Most of those are regulatory or government policies. I was thinking more like derivatives, insurance, LBO’s, etc. On one had its transferring risk to willing parties (who can hold it better), on the other hand it allows participants to run lower margins of safety.

where do you think it will add and where do you think it will subtract?

Do you think the financialization will add volatility or subtract it from the relationship?

The posters who make anti-Semitic remarks aren’t given as much leeway.

I guess it’s not specifically racist to denigrate Black’s in every post because he *might* feel Whites are equally as bad (even though he hasn’t ever said that).

what does qualify as racist if his posts do not?

how did you figure out the year?

THe box bid/offer is like 20 cents wide. How is that too high? Commissions are like $1 each leg, so you spend like $4.2 to get $100,000 of borrowing per lot. how is that a lot of money? Bil is yielding 2%. Fed funds is over 3% and SOFR is 3.04 The 11/29/22 tbill is 3.23 at 3.17 ytm

That's what i'm trying to get him to see.

Can you draw a cashflow diagram to show how you would do it?

How do you get 8% with bonds yielding 4% and the box implying 4%?

I would MUCH rather be just short the call naked. It’s way safer. :)

?? Strangles have virtually unlimited risk on two sides. Covered calls on only one side.

How is that 8percent?

the margin should be close to zero as it’s near risk less.
