Those late 30s golddigger types have high Theta, don't they?

How in depth is the Options Trader on IB? For example, will it give you the aggregate total delta/gamma exposure of your position, or just list the greeks for individual options?

Not so-- GE makes money on it. Those shows are the same as watching ESPN Gameday and betting the "experts" picks on each NFL game. It generates interest, sells advertising, but anyone viewing should remember its for entertainment purposes only.

CNBC=soap opera for business people

but-----------how will you keep up with the Madoff scandal?

My friend, I worked in a bank. The salespeople asked every single person who came in if they wanted a home equity line. They telemarketed relentlessly to get people to take out loans. They were paid commission on their loans, more for neg-am loans. The government forced nothing. This problem...

by Dan Passarelli anyone read it? would you recommend it?

Have you seen any on a free site anywhere?

Has anyone ever seen a chart of historical IV for a specific option?

Where does the .675 come from? I assume the 68.3% is 1 stdev. I'm just wondering how closely ATR correlates with the IV of a stock's option. Or if there's even a point to make a comparison between the two.

not really-- pretty typical of republicans. they're a pretty sad breed.

thanks- should this number correlate with ATR(30) at all? Is there any comparisons between the 2 numbers? Should there be?

Many people are saying things like - "I wouldn't sell puts on anything, the market is too volatile" if that's the case you're only looking at 1/2 the picture. Even if the market is volatile, if the IV of the puts you sell is much higher that the stock's actual vol, you can still make money if...

Here's the data I see, what do you have to back your views? http://www.faireconomy.org/press_room/1997/born_on_third_base_sources_of_wealth_of_1997_forbes_400 "But careful identification of how Forbes' centi-millionaires and billionaires attained their wealth tells a different account of the...

You're right-- you don't get reelected by cutting spending. You get reelected by giving your voters stuff. If you had to fight for your job every 2 years, you wouldn't care what happens in 30 years, you'll be long retired. You just care about the present and keeping your job. Put in term...

Didn't you get the memo--nothing EVER is Bush's fault. Anything before Nov 4 2008 was Clinton's fault, anything after is Obama's fault. Bush never made a mistake, just ask him.

*Your* logic is incorrect. Most of the 10% of the people who control 90% of the wealth came to it by inheritance. Do you really think Paris Hilton did anything of note to "earn" her fortune? Or the heirs of Sam Walton? No, they won the ovarian lottery. Don't forget the richest guy in the world...

Aren't conservatives the ones always crying about trial lawyers and frivolous lawsuits???
