You're failing to take into account that Market Makers <b>wont</B> post a bid or offer unless they believe that their bid/offer is a competitive one and if they get hit on that bid they will be buying at a discount (or selling at a premium). If you're a market maker, the whole idea is your...

If you're an Options Market Maker.....and you think the option is worth 50 cents (after doing your calculations with the black scholes or binomial model), you'll be bidding 40 at 60, then once you get hit, hedge with the underlying contract. After hedging (and re-adjusting your hedge each day)...

Traders Audio is the best SP Pit Squawk Box out there....From reading your post, it sounds like your looking for a news service though (so in that case, TTN would better fit what your looking for). The Traders Audio SP squawk doesnt do that, it basically just quotes the pit and lets you know...

Bad Bank....MI Been accumulating 5 & 2.50 Puts for Feb/Mar/Jun the past few weeks....this bank is toast. The small regional banks who are a little too far leveraged have no chance in this market, no way the fed just bails out the little guys.

After doing your calculations, you believe that an Option is worth 50 cents....so you buy the option at 40 cents, and "hedge" yourself by going short the stock....once option expiration rolls around you just locked in a profit of 10cents.....an options market maker uses this type of strategy...

You got $12,200 cash, and you only purchase $13,889 of stock....your debit balance is actually only $1689 - at the end of the month your only going to pay credit interest on 1689. The stock would have to drop significantly in order to get a call....or turn non-marginable, then you would just...

Yea, I was also at the Wynn & Venetian a few weeks ago and it was a ghost town.

I got a friend who works as a broker at a Discount Brokerage Firm....2 weeks ago he said their firm had a conference call about how they should handle a a possible "suicidal caller".... It sounds like a real blood bath for all the retail investors. All the guys that Rolledover their 401k's...

You need to re-phrase your question then....it should be, "when will the ES trade in 10cent ticks?" Regarless of the multiplier it makes no differnence, if you can Arb between the two contracts both will trade the same. The CBOT Ag's went "side-by-side" after the merger and those...

There are guys that trade in the pit and all they do is Arb between the SP & the ES....I dont understand what you mean when you say, "when are the big's going to go side-by-side with the ES...". Both markets basically follow each other (when one market is way out of whack, its an arb trade that...

The real question is....Have you put your money where your mouth is???? if you've been short for the past year nice work, if not, your just another "talking head"....

Jim's going to be interviewed on Bloomberg this morning at 7:30ET this morning

Fox Business is even worse than CNBC!....first of all, their "real time" quotes are pathetic at best...they don’t even actively quote the bonds/notes or any energy futures other than crude, and they leave off a few decimal points when they quote the currency pairs! They'll quote the Euro at...
