I don't really know anything about him either. We all try to project our own mentality onto someone else. If I traded with swings like that, I would sleep well at night. If he does, then far be it from me to tell him he is taking on too much risk. I will say that he has a gnarly P/L chart...

But did you not ever consider that the right to life stance merely protects one's opportunity for happiness. Not necessarily to guarantee it. You argue that because there is a chance that someone might have a hard life, we should eliminate their opportunity.

Sure... and I'm saying that for pro-lifers it is always moral, but you are trying to appeal to them on economic grounds. You suggest that it is less moral to allow babies to be born into less than desirable circumstances, and that we should take the initiative to terminate their existence...

So you are saying that we should reward the fully irresponsible drug addicted welfare leaches, by paying for the services so they can continue on their rampage without consequence. But the semi-irresponsible married 30 year-old with two kids who (with her husband) doesn't feel like they have...

Realize, statistically the vast majority of abortions aren't performed in that demographic. The large majority are to women in mid to late 20s. A large portion of these already have at least one child and the home is not fatherless. 17% of the remainder are perfectly normal teenagers with no...

Really? That is really your opinion? I hope that isn't representative of your liberal constituents. I thought you were the party of equality, racial blindness, and tollerance... :confused:

Yes but myself and others are of the opinion that the destiny of the child is not predetermined. Each one has the ability to live a perfectly happy life, We are also perfectly willing to shoulder our part of the economic burden by adopting the infants at birth. But you should realize that it...

I'm not forcing her to have the baby. She forced herself to have the baby by getting pregnant without the means to terminate it. I'm just not donating my personal means to providing it for her. You really must be joking that you cannot see the difference.

Well, according to most economic studies, those conservative Christians you refer to statistically contribute more in both % and nominal amounts to charity than do their liberal counterparts. I would say that they are at least trying to do what you are demanding, even though they disagree...

That is the flaw in your logic. Nobody is forcing her to have a baby. She made a choice and doesn't have the means to alter the consequences of that choice. You would suggest that if one day I was walking down the street and a pregnant hooker asked me for $ for an abortion, and I didn't...

Optional, While you consistently try to lump pro-lifers into your economic analysis, it just isn't a good fit. As a blanket statement, pro-lifers aren't concerned at all with the future costs of the child. It is most certainly a moral argument. There are those of us who don't think the...

That is some pretty flawed logic. 1- Abortion opponents don't fight it on the grounds of economics. They oppose the morals of it. It is your mentality that makes it an economic issue. 2- They are then saying that since they don't support it morally that they don't want their tax dollars...

Good independent populist candidate that people on both sides could get behind?..... Think John Huntsman Junior He's a conservative sometimes. He's a liberal sometimes. He's a Mormon sometimes. Dropped out of high school to play in a rock band. Later resumed studies and graduated from...

Random C, Just curious what you meant by this statement.

Not advocating what hte Fed is doing but ... Real estate prices lag wage increases. Wage increases lag inflation by about 1-2 years. So under an ideal scenario we would see real estate prices rising at a minimum two years after seeing above normal inflation.

I never said I performed a 25 year backtest during the ideal period. Again, you need to take your own reading comprehension advice. You stated that long 10Y notes is a losing strat right now. I used that period as an example of how over the long term these rate fluctuations will be a wash...

SPY pays dividends quarterly. Those dividends are priced into the naked puts.

No, the point is that over the long term the paper gains and losses due to rate risk will be a wash. Leaving only the yield to consider. Remember that we are essentially talking about a very long term buy and hold. You would only ever be out of the position for 1/2 day occasionally. Rate...

Agreed, but that is exactly my point. If Joe Sixpack is diversified, he also has a beta of near 1. I'm not saying this is the best strat out there. In fact, having covered calls as part of the strat automatically disqualifies it from being the best strat, IMO. Also, keep in mind that...

I'm not implying that it is THAT hard for you or me or many people around here I would assume. Stats say that it is at least that hard for the vast majority of traders and investors. And some 99% of people writing covered calls are not doing it that way. Remember, it is hands down the most...
