    Farewell Ron Paul

    If you can't beat them join them! A representatives job is to fight for his or her district and give them a voice. Just because one's actions don't always match their ideals doesn't mean they are two faced they are just playing the game they are paid to play.

    Tax Deal Finalized

    the whole estate tax thing boggles my mind. I wonder if there has ever been a study to show if the estate tax was say only 10 or 15% would that deter people from setting up trusts to avoid the tax because it would then not be worth the hassle and expense to set up the trust? But anything over...

    Delta neutral or directionality: which one do you pick?

    It would seem to me that saying a delta neutral strategy is more successful is kind of vague. The actual situation that is going on with what you are trading should determine if delta a neutral strategy is suitable. In my opinion if you are delta neutral in a long straddle way because you...

    CL Redux

    It's kind of late in the day but I see what could be a H&S on a 5 min chart if the top of the right shoulder can curve around 90.10. I'm going to have my wife punish me for even looking at a 5 min but I'm wired and bored and I won't let it sway me for my master plan.

    It's funny you mention 94 because those are the calls I'm selling right now. If we close above 90 I'll be forced to start selling 82 and 84 puts. The only outright trade I've taken all week was my buy stop getting filled sunday night. When I got out at 88 I thought I was the man.

    How do you deal with anger?

    We all know anger is a waste of energy and in fact getting angry makes me even angrier because inside I'm like why the fuck am I angry? I'm told I get angry because I'm depressed which is hard for me to wrap my head around because I should seemingly have the life. I don't really desire...

    5 years from now you may regret not buying a house today...really?

    WOw a home builder trying to create a sense of urgency just like a car salesman or the MC Rib, you better get it while its here! I heard when the McRib comes back pork bellies spike. And the McRib is literally pork bellies and tripe. All i know is some lucky bastard that lives up the...

    Karen the "Supertrader"

    Sounds like something I used to do random entries not based on any sort of pattern and then unable to accept the initial position was wrong. So in essence once the position is losing she is taking a synthetic stop by selling the call. Only problem with this is when the market then goes back...

    Karen the "Supertrader"

    If she tried to strangle me naked I would straddle her:D But seriously did she say she never uses the outright? The term naked strangle seems ambiguous to me because it isn't naked it has a corresponding leg. If by naked they mean never in the underlying then she is retarded. It would...

    piezoe is great at putting thoughts and concepts into words. I don't agree with everything he says but I'd imagine he is one smart fella. He would make a great fed chairman!

    since it didn't tank overnight 87.40-60 looks like a good place for shorts to set up shop. That also happens to be where my strangle becomes neutral so I would either unwind it or lighten up on the outright short position. That is why I used 3 QM's for delta flexibility :p

    How do you deal with drowsiness?

    Get some kick ass speakers on your computer and blast some Metallica or whatever gets you fired up. I just got one of those wavemaster movable heavy punching bags for the basement/office and that gets your heart pumping. Only problem is I totally jacked up my shoulder because it wasn't warmed...
