Consistency is the thing that matters most.

The answer is “it depends”. In fact there is no true exactly correct answer, the only thing that needs to be taken into consideration is that you are always consistent in the day you use. If you price to Friday then always price to Friday , if you price to Thursday’s close then always...

Whether the underlying is the QQQQ or anything else they're all going to need the same move on a .70 delta option to make 10 cents on that option.

I am with MTE here, dispersion is trading options on the index vs options on the components, the bid offer spread in all of the calculations you want to do would make your data inaccurate.

As always trying to use options to leverage your directional guesses and timing in the market has been historically a losing strategy. This is nothing more that a not very sophisticated market guess on timing and direction, its not an options strategy per se, nor do you address stopping yourself...

Considering that just about every kind of forward is priced on a 7 day week I cant imagine that this would not be the case.

355 open interest is tiny, yea its more than the 27 on the NOV's but its still nothing and if you at the volume in those series they rarely trade. The Jan 5 call has 15 cents roughly of time premium thats the maximum you'd be making the rest is intrinsic value which is no different than buying...

GSS closed at 3.63, the Nov 5 calls traded at 5 cents today so esentially they're worthless. That means the Nov 5 puts should be priced at 5 (strike price) less the stock price of 3.63 and maybe at 2.5 cents for the cal value. The price you posted is either old since they didnt trade today that...

at 1% a week you'd be a billionaire in short order

Yea , I'll split em with you at 3.90 no need to steenth each other when we can work together

Damm Spin you're the man !! All I get from him are those posts telling people he has me on ignore. Funny how they pop up all the time when I post about him

LOL especially those on ET !!!

There further from the ATM you go the slower the decay rate. There is always downside risk in every stock, period end of story. Selling calls is not really a good hedge to downside risk. Ask any of the covered call sellers how they did in 2008/9

Again, you and I dont know who is on what side and how those trades are being executed so I would say this. Yea people and institutions trade to make money but just because you see volume does not mean shares are being pushed back and forth to make that 2 to 5 cents round turn.

We’re both making fundamental assessments. They may in fact be forced to break up at some point in the future. Technically the call and put equidistant from the at the money should NOT trade at the same price. In addition to that the OTM put / ITM call same strike will always trade at a...

Where did Wayne or Mark call you names in this thread? When re-reading the thread all Wayne indicated was that like many he was growing bored with your constant attacks on Mark. In the same context all Mark indicated about you is that your own post which said the #of buyers = the # of sellers...

First I was wrong because “the reality is this is not well established, but there is a vast array of opinions on the subject” Now I am wrong because of the semantics involved in the meaning of the word “little” Its not that big a deal dude. Let it go, if you want to use the word...

I respect your opinion but like mine its just an opinion. I would hardly call C the strongest bank in the world and if you really believe there is no downside risk in the stock, I would suggest that purely on a statistical basis non opinionated there is always downside risk. There is a reason...

How is there no downside risk in the stock? I respect that everyone can have their own opinion but you're looking for several hundred % return in the stock by next year, from a company thats on the brink.
