The people who made the rule don't get commissions, and my broker doesn't charge commissions for exercise or assignment. Auto-exercise in general protects you from yourself. Money is money, even if it is just a penny. It eliminates an equivalent amount of pin risk on the short side...

You know why they call them "options", right? Because it's your option to exercise them or not. You can always instruct your broker to exercise an option, whether it's 5 cents ITM, 1 cent ITM or $20 OTM. Auto-exercise is only there to protect you from yourself. You are responsible for your...

Check your mail tomorrow. Easiest coke you've ever won.

Did you actually go short at that price, or is this another one of your half-calls that will only turn into a real trade if it's in the green?

I think he meant "other people". And if he says he doesn't lie, we should believe him. After all, would a guy who doesn't lie ever lie?

This. If he were really confident about his calls, he'd post them in explicit language and all in one place. It's not like he doesn't know how to post twice in the same thread. Also, his calls are no more specific than "good/bad thing at $time", and later on he claims them as proof that he...

It's completely random, as far as you need to know. If you were assigned based on your position size, people would size their short positions to manipulate their chances of getting assigned early, and that would be all kinds of bad.

You make an excellent point, xflat.

Show us where in this thread you said you traded anything.

Quoted again for epic irony.

But if we don't feed him, he will stop dancing. :(

I re-read the entire thread because I thought I might have missed something. I don't see anyone who bought at 1989, or at any other price. Could you please quote the posts where people said they bought at that price? Umm... yeah. Speaking of which, you never actually said you were short...

How is crying an appropriate course of action in this case? ;) If you just hit your daily goal, start over. Pretend your day just started and you're back even. If your trading is generally profitable, you may as well squeeze as many "days" into your year as possible.

Nobody in this thread but you has shown themselves to be in either of those two groups.

If you have a sure-fire bad investment, fade the hell out of it and thank your lucky stars for the opportunity.

There are two sides of the market - riskfreetrading's side and the wrong side. You're either with him or you're agin' him. None of this delta-neutral nonsense. Pick a side, we're at war! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1911199#post1911199 "anyone who disagrees with...

Considering that he buys stocks to hold for a very long term, you should expect his most recent picks to underperform somewhat. [b] Find me any money manager who has not missed a single great stock. Surely Buffett inhabits that narrow grey area between "profits from every single uptick...

We're only the same person on the Yahoo board. You'll have to ask the lunatics over there. This is the place for discussing the directional trades made by a guy named riskfreetrading. Presumably for fun. Please try to stay on topic.

Nobody. Who wants to deal with bad weather? Also nobody. You deal with it because it's there. Lousy goddamn bottom feeders with their free roads and fancy policemen. Let them buy their own!

*sigh* xflat, I don't know why I have to keep explaining the most basic things to you over and over. riskfreetrading started a thread about his bearish sentiment. That means anyone who disagrees with him about anything in this thread is bullish. That's how the internets w**k...
