regarding the quote below about the Ex-dividend issue, now this would only apply to options on stocks and not apply to the index options right? "American-style call is usually exercised early if it is ITM and the stock goes ex-dividend. "

Ahh, OK. now that makes more sense for the assignment to be random(still had no idea this could happen and it is great to know and beware of it). thanks for the link.

again to help us understand better and BTW thanks for all your help so far. Then under the situation below, if the 715 call had a premium of 30 when price at 640, then the 715 put is worth(roughly) 105, did I get that right? any good readZ(available on line(I'm presently overseas, can't buy...

Nazz..., great info thanks. again never had looked at it this way that extrinsic value of the opposite side can be taken into considerations for value calculations of the DITM side.

No I did not! What I did not know was that, if I sell a naked put the original buyer can and may exercise it prior to expiry?!!! can they? I thought even if they decided to do so then the clearing will take care of it without disrupting my situation. Now having said that, obviously if one...

nazzdack, to help me understand this better, the option must still have a lot of life left on it right? because I used to think that deep in the money(is a 715 put with the index at 640 considered deep in the money?) options have no more extrinsic value and they're worth their intrinsic value...

got it thanks Naz...,.

wow... never knew that! BTW, what are the best options from liquidity point of view to trade for hedging ES/ER. I don't think their own options would provide good spreads. A couple of decades ago, I used OEX ones against S&P 500. They were the only ones that were electronically traded back...

the options you buy or sell are just like futures and are not related to any specific person or are they? it should be irrelevant if the other side wanted to exercise or not...?

just stay away from TradeStation. NO Demo, NO Simulator and very Obsolete!

please clarify further? need a little help to fully understand what you're suggesting which BTW makes whole lot of sense. thanks

The question should be what will happen to the price of RE in Cuba?! I'd love to buy some there right now... :)

How do you learn/train to become a racing driver? By practice and experience for which you'll have to pay for the track time which is considered cost of doing business. How about a few spins/skids/accidents then? That's normal too! The trick is to outlive them. Trading is no different, you...

Thus it can be concluded according to Don a Hi Vol comm is .0006 and as per other poster who had an HF should be .0003 per share? thanks

Never used Multi charts. As long as you can get a Demo. is all you should care about, because then you get to find out first hand for yourself. The EL has absolutely no edge, like I've said before, do you want to take a non safety rusted knife to a gun fight? you should ask yourself?! I'm into...

the victims of the current mess, are not just the banks..., other casualties will soon surface too, Ie. office/home furniture manufacturers and retailers to name a pack...

I tried and never got a demo, not even after having an account number but after funding the account. Let's say your're more persuasive and do get a demo, just what data are you going to test it with?! there is no way they'd give you data too. As for the charting, here are just a couple of...
