The problem is that it won't shorten your learning curve. You can't get a good understanding of this stuff in two or three days.

Thanks Jessie, it was the point I was trying make in an earlier post, but you stated it much more clearly. Lol, This board is some peoples worst nightmare.

What we are trying to do is save people a lot of money. Traders a cantankerous lot, unless Daniel_m spammed you with his own educatioanl service, it may be a good idea to take his passion to heart.

This is MacMillan's site: http://optionstrategist.com/ Optionetics: http://www.optionetics.com/products/seminars/store_seminars.asp How could anybody learn this stuff in two days? You would still have to work your ass off on your own to master the material. Maybe a local...

Heck, I'd do it for beers. Then again, that would be more expensive than Optionetics, maybe the course is not such a bad deal from that perepsective.

LOL

I will also add when starting off being a MM, my boss's idea of training was handing me the Natenberg book and telling me to reading it. Fotunately, I have already gone through it the required five times. I say this because a lot of education material, whether they are books or training...

There are people who think disagreement is the same as being a dissident. These people are fools, like Gore Vidal amd Noam Choamsky. What if the critics are reflective anti-American?

You are joking right? No knowledgeable person about options would say this. I suggest reading MacMillan, Natenberg and then Cottle. They cover more than enough to trade options. I seriously doubt Optionetics will ever cover more than these authors. Unfortunately, you must read these books...

I agree, which is why I am short the front month stuff. There will probably be an opportunity to get long vol, but not until after Iraq. There is a tremendous amount of demand for vol right now in products which we as exchange traded option players don't see. From what I hear, institutions...

Well, I could tell you what I'm doing right now. CSCO diagonals, I'm buying the july 17s and selling april 15s for even money. I Have been legging into a bunch of these for the last week with some of the short calls being Mar. Have tried the last couple of days to leg into apr12/july10...

Stuff like this is why I dropped it, too many bugs, shitty options. I'm just using my broker's software.

Was it patriotic? No, I think the world markets were way oversold. It was more of a technical bounce. Although, it could last longer because the backers, here and in Europe, are from more market oriented parties. We may see real reform in Europe which should provide a lift even to our own...

They could have figured out a way to include Blair in the Attack of the Clones thing. He deserves it.

It makes me nervous sometimes about making certain posts. Forums will always attract nuts, but here we are dealing with a lot of money. I find the regulars are pretty good at calling bullshit when it comes a long, at least in the options forum.

This general comment is also evident in the next proposed SEC filing, that of Eurex, reportedly the largest futures and options exchange in the world (although the Korean Stock Exchange may refute that claim).  On Eurex's website is an outline of the market model that they intend to use when...

Article on the Box, Click here For this news section we have decided that, as there has not been anything earth shattering happening over the last two weeks and given that the exchanges have not reported on last month's volume as we go to press, we should concentrate on a couple of issues of...

I looked at it when they first had this deal. It is butt ugly. Not the picture, it was the design. I went to Costco and got a KDS 17" for $399. I agree on the Best Buy rebate thing. I have sent in a bunch of rebates only to never receive anything. However, my last purchases there was...

Actually, I'll take back the sweeping generalization that it shouldn't be paid. There are situations where such a fee is appropriate. However, I don't think this is one of them especially at this point. Ultimately, it depends on how high of a return one expects to receive. Most people in the...

No, 1.5% is absurd. Absolutely no person on the the planet should pay this fee. What are you guys talking about???? There are situations where people do, they are wrong to. If your broker is charging you this, get the fuck out.
