Where did you get the data on who supported the move to 1 cent ITM auto exercise?

hey Atti, how you been??

Perhaps you could expand on what you believe I am imagining? Since you can read my mind... I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10, what is it? There is no question that many times Bernanke's remarks are released to the press before he gives them, it depends on context his speech is being...

There is no "report" to be written up, its a data release. No one is saying anything about collecting "fresh" data over night either, the data from the EIA is not up to the minute.

Its my understanding that the quality of the components is checked thoroughly and consistently before each of those factors is sent to the appropriate central office of whichever government department is releasing the data. Sticking to the same example on non farm payrolls… Lets just say...

Sounds like you misunderstood what I was saying. There is NO mystery on how government statistical data is calculated. In fact the formula needs to be public information because the actual data is meaningless unless it’s known that the sample size etc is consistent each time that data is...

LOL

What’s funny is that like most gov’t data the number are not calculated and then sitting around long before the announcement. There are a number of variables which go into the calculation of all kinds of data the gov’t provides and to safeguard against the kind of BS the OP was talking...

Watch out for that Zeta

Dave/Tricky it would appear as if you're having a conversation with yourself.

LOL all spin did was rephrase the same info I gave you. You're willing to buy the stock at the lower strike price. Thats fantastic, except what you missed is it goes without saying that you would take max loss on the spread should the stock go to that lower strike and you would not be buying the...

Pretty laughable to believe you're shelling out for a Bloomy and you don’t know all the answers to the questions you posted. Hint, they’re all on the terminal if you know where to look! The legal costs to set up a true hedge fund are pretty substantial. Then again since you don’t need...

I am sorry but the price of the stock is the price of the stock. There is no magic bullet which allows you to buy stock below the current price. Now collecting premium is an entirely different matter. There are a myriad of strategies to sell premium, and you touched on one, the vertical...

Your decision to buy the stock once it falls to 24 has nothing whatsoever to do with the options trade. You could have elected to buy the stock at 24 without doing the options spread and that way you would have saved yourself a 50 cent loss plus commissions on the options. You also might...

Clients? LOL

Selling the vert put spread wont do anything for you on collecting a dividend since its priced into all the options. In addition selling the vert put spread does not allow you to purchase stock below the market to avoid any loss. Since you sold the put spread you would be assigned on the...

There is only one answer and its the same each time someone starts a thread like this one where they post what they believe is a large volume trade and thinks it has some clue as to where the market is going. The bottom line is that a large trade such as the one noted in this thread gives you...

Why would anyone pay over intrinsic value if the options had no time premium left? There are parameters which protect you and you're not forced to do anything. Not sure what your point about your order was since the "story" is so vague and we wont ever know the specifics. The bottom line...

No way they would waste time trading them below intrinsic. They may widen the opening quote but if the price you got was vastly different from the next print with the stock pretty much the same you would have an easy case for a price adjustment.

What DMO and I were saying is you're focusing on what you think you know. DMO and I pointed out you cant possibly know much of value from looking at the volume and OI. You could see large changes in OI in all kinds of options but concluding they had something to do with that trade is...
