    Managing Funds for a Living

    Your postings are clueless - trying to render mine as such? If you've been in the game for any length of time...and I'm sure you are one of the very knowledgeable - perhaps still trying to bring results in line, but you'd know time-and-again baseless, meritless points don't mean anything...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    ...well Atticus it seems you are just throwing up (over and over) on yourself. If you posted the whole quote it'd say I didn't feel these would turn out 'so easy'. But for instance, ENCY is perhaps a fairly decent play. It is now trading near historical lows (pull up all data) and rates...

    I'm sorry CL, I may have - seemed - to come off wrong (with regards to daytrading). That wasn't my intent. I wasn't referring to your trade or reactions to the Naked Option Story. I get it wrong - more than my share, but I stay within my longer-term parameters. So I will stick to what (I'm...

    no CL...I passed on it and went with IOC. Unless things have drastically changed, the methods in place for almost 10 years will yield the predicable result (daytrading aside, lol) GaPs

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    It may also seem that stops aren't necessary. After all (for now) my "top" call (initiated by making call sells) proved that if I stayed into all my (CC Fund) positions I'd give the appearance of having 'sheer genius'. Trust me (lol), I've been through enough market drops to know these...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    In keeping with strategy parameters [indeed the market's action of late is...curious(?)]: Data suggesting steady economic growth and mild inflation sent stocks sharply higher in early trading. May core consumer prices rose less than expected, the fifth 0.1% rise over eight months. Again...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    Ahh, a reply by BJL...I didn't notice. Well that day it seemed about even - but I wasn't being exactly exact. But I did round up the numbers for today's vault into the air! SPX Jul 1545 at 16 (11) DJX Jul 137 at 1.6 (1.1) QQQ Jul 48 at .66 (.52) () is sell price. You can calculate...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    Hello, With the market seemingly working against us, it doesn't bode well to ignore possible failures. Thus my posting... Wake up to find - The markets resilience is unrelenting!! ...these are basically just musings or my personal take on things as they affect my "proven" abilities in...

    I know u were (jokin around). Last time PAAS made my list was 09-Sep-06. Thx for the input regarding margin requirement with spreads/collars(?). I'm trying to weigh risk/reward scenarios (like with the FOTM short index calls) - to optimally make gains desired vs risk. Personally I...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    At best volume was average with HUGE up day. Calls are back about even. I see this as the right shoulder (head-and-shoulders pattern). Not an uncomfortable hold. Spread about across the major out past old highs. May lose 50% or 10% of Fund but 3 or 4 times right out of 5 may impress...

    Truly CL & FF see things...differently (from me): Up til recently practically the only thing that continued to lend this updraft support were these institutional favorites. My point was will these be next to breakdown technically - and indeed we (I) am seeing this. When the...

    ...and the true wannabees bleat wahh, wahh, wahh Seriously...do you think I should second guess, myself? Just like every loser trader. Do you really think I should feel all your loathings? Well I don't. You continue to do things they way you do (and keep getting the same results) and...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    Anyways...more of the same. A schizophenic market that now (today) gaps up, program trades, adv/dec numbers heavily favoring the advancers -- all on volume that is tracking sharply lower than Tuesday's heavy trading. If institutions aren't supporting this rally, it doesn't have much to stand...

    Let the market be your guide: shows some of the tell-tale signs... First we had another rally attempt fail in light volume. Too bad we only have 10 minutes left in the (yesterday's) session when things began to tank. ...for those that have to-date vaulted their accounts, take...

    (valuable) drivel posted 03:30 pm EST Although stubborn, market leading stocks (finally) beginning to falter. Leading stocks, which had deflected the bulk of recent losses, were mixed among big-volume moves. Vix/vxn which jumped last week are again jumping - even higher (fear-factor)...

    Not trying to put you on the spot...but yeah I like it. Make it work the way it's meant. Now I gotta figure/crunch the numbers, but yeah. Hedges, I am manic-enuf about stops, perhaps can now bring in significant % return on 1M cap. As far as making a lot more...these are usu closed at a...
