anyone knows of a good service that provides (relatively) real time alerts/info re bids, mergers and acquisitions ? tnx

i think it includes the put girl. :D . sorry, couldn't resist it.

considering it's massive post-report move in the last 9 EAs, would you do a front month ATM straddle (EA on Wed)?

can anyone help as to where i can find EOD historical prices for options (not last price, but rather the bid/ask price) tnx

short options can be excercised anytime. however, they are more likely to, when there is no extrinsic value ("time value") to them.

sounds like the God of Nazareth, to me, 'innit?

They don't have one no more. that's the whole point... :) http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/newsanalysis/wallstreet/10317303.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA

my experience with IB is that you can't have GTC or OCA orders for combos. shame. :(

atm implied volatility . tnx

where can I find (free) EOD list of 52w- high IVs? tnx

Absolutely sincere, mate. And to the trade: I'd go for a +Mar/-Apr ATM here. I do think CRM is a good candidate for a rev cal.

IV_trader? now, HE is the true holy grail of rev cals . no doubt about that. good luck to you!

IMO you are just doubling up a rev cal. and if the underlying doesn't move significantly, you will be doubling up your losses. try to re-model your holy grail :)

Cluseau how do you set up them cals? OTM, ATM or ITM ? i'd guess OTM. .. towards your directional bias... but please tell us...

Actually, i was wondering that myself. long holidays season, maybe? I've been long vega positions on YHOO and DNA for 2 weeks now, and - nothing (yet?). vols graph flat as the sea of some dream-island. and in the meantime, theta is eating me alive.

IB does. And the rest will follow next year.
