A down day is a day that is cold enough to wear your down clothing. At least up here it is.

Well I'll admit I've had horrible weeks in the past several years. This wasn't one of them however. I wouldn't say it was easy but today was actually fun IMO. I caught the move up, then down, up slightly again, and a brief down on the OEX before stepping back. Just jumping from the Put side...

No I don't think so. Yes I think BL is dead but he provides a symbol of the war on terrorism. So I think they don't claim victory just so there is an "object" to pursue. I also think that doing nothing about Saddam is not an option or a future. (sorry, i couldn't resist on a traders's site)

Well I was in Vietnam and can't recall them ever having an advantage due to numbers... the one thing it did prove, again, is that politicians have a penchant for betraying troops in the field. Let them induct all the bodies they want to. How are they going to move them in strength over...

Stand alone.

I have had no problems For those having problems, are you using the browser based version or stand alone?

SILK: Are you still with us??

Man I guess you were right !! A thousand pardons.

You could be right for sure. I'm just glad I have no position.

DGMODEL: that was my immediate take also but then I realized the potential impact on Africa and came to the same conclusion as horseman.

Yes I did. You're right. Being long options here is very dangerous. Short might be ok but DOTM IMO just for safety. I wouldn't want to be short those 10 puts although the vols have to collapse some when a decision is out. But the historical vol on this stock is pretty lofty anyway so it...

Are you truly stupid or just obtuse?

Thanks. You just made my point better than I could have. I'm sorry you feel that way about yourself.

I find that hard to believe> Rather than propose rules on NO ONE you propose rules be applied to others. Your victim mentality is showing again.

No I don't but I was considering an option position tomorrow. Probably not though as there are better things available IMO

I think the stock tanks> In fact I think the market in general goes down on monday in response to the rise on friday. The arbs will be selling all the stock they had to buy prior to expiration. But back to VXGN: Based solely on the above article, I have to wonder what the control group was...

Unfortunately you are still missing the point IMO. At least in the US the question should be; "why restrict anyone? What's good for one should be good for all" No special privileges for anyone !

No you're absolutely right. I just picked that as an example.
