    1) Northern Manhattan? ..... don't you mean the Bronx? :confused: :D 2) ? .... do all of the cases involve Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans or Cubans? :confused: 3) Lax enforcement of immigration laws is becoming a public health "problem". :eek:

    Topsteptrader

    1) Good going. :) 2) Are you willing to reveal details of any legal documents you had to sign before obtaining your funding that might keep you "captive" to TopStep for any duration? :confused:

    Why american deep ITM call has time value?

    1) For the sake of overanalysis, the delta of the 80-call is 100 only if there is little time remaining until expiration, certainly not with a longer-dated option. :) 2) Black-Scholes aside, the time value of the option can be thought of as an "insurance premium" that the option buyer pays to...

    Topsteptrader

    FWIW .... a funded trader at TopStep, theoretically and conceivably, could have their account size and/or buying power "ramped up" quickly if they show good risk management and stellar rates of return compared to somebody trading their own account. Still, one has to get through the combine to...

    Negative spread quote? Impossible?

    1) ? ...... I would guess that the "negative quote" is merely the "negative" of the outright premium on the 1875-put strike-price. :cool: 2) Somehow, someway, a calculation of "Zero minus the 1875 put-premium" is being calculated and charted. The result will be a negative number. :eek:

    Government Motors has got problems again...

    Hypothetically, the only thing GM could have done would be to have petitioned/begged the US military to nuke Germany and nuke Japan again in order to keep that source of competition away. :(

    Government Motors has got problems again...

    Ford relied on too few models for too long. GM's ability to offer a variety of nameplates, models and colors, whether out of good business sense or dumb luck, at that time, would allow it to surpass Ford after "The War" and beyond. :cool:

    Government Motors has got problems again...

    1) That all occurred long before you were of "driving age". :eek: 2) That was an uncompetitive era when the rest of the world had no industrial capacity after WW-2 and Henry Ford was a "control freak douchebag". :cool:

    Some basic futures options questions...

    1) To exercise an option that is or becomes deep-in-the-money can be better than offsetting it if the bid-ask spread is "excessive" and/or if the option is trading at a discount to intrinsic value. :) 2) A trader who wants to maintain a position in a particular contract month, for whatever...

    More suicides....(NY Trader)

    1) Atleast he didn't accidently urinate on the electrified third-rail of the train, from the platform, after a late night "bender". :) 2) He was employed at the Vertical Group. "Logic" would imply that he would have been a "jumper". :cool:

    TVIX versus VIX returns

    1) ? ..... ?? ..... ! .... You need to compare TVIX to VXX, not VIX. :eek: :cool: 2) With so many darn VIX contracts, you have to be exactly sure you're comparing Granny Smith apples to Granny Smith apples and not Macintosh. :)
