    What Would Jesus Trade?

    Could trade the egg and butter futures at the CME. Jesus would have the ability to accumulate a massive short position, and if it went against him (I doubt that the market would move against Jesus -- talk about being on the wrong side of a trade, hate to write Jesus' name down as the...

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    Sorry for my lack of understanding on the operations at Fermilab. To be honest I just kinda freaked out when I saw the smoke and that it was coming from there. As someone pointed out earlier and Aaron echoed, it may have been part of a prescribed burn. But with the whole Hamas assasination in...

    Understanding Greeks

    Stop all the bitching. I believe the point Hello was trying to make is that the more informed you can be about the product you're trading the greater the probability of success. With the exception of NOMOREOPTIONS, I like to think that then Options Forum isn't a place to be namecalling and...

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    http://www.fnal.gov/ Go to this link on the web, I'm no physicist so I can't begin to explain what they do there now. But the main thing they're known for is developing the atomic bomb--hence my original concern when I saw smoke coming from their complex. Vega:D

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    That's what I was initially afraid of -- and right now I'm thinking -- why the hell was I driving toward it:eek: :eek: Vega:D

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    I suppose it's possible (and let's hope), but there was/is some pretty dense smoke coming from there -- and a lot of it.

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    Still nothing on the news that I've seen, so apparently it's nothing to get worked up about. Just freaked me out when I got to the origin of the smoke and the gate said "Fermilab," but things must be under control because they are not blocking off roads or anything. Vega:D

    Fire at Fermilab????????

    I'm out in the western suburbs of Chicago, and at lunch I saw 2 huge clouds of smoke, so being nosy I drove to see where it was coming from. I was pretty shocked that when I got to the end of the road I was at one of the gates to Fermilab. Haven't seen anything on the news, and don't know if...

    Understanding Greeks

    Don't mean to sound rude, but how can you trade OTM spreads and condors without knowing the greeks ?? I'll echo Def and say get Natenburg and do a search here on ET for other ideas on books to read, then trade, unless you want your education to be very very very expensive. Vega:D

    Indians rookie

    I was listening to Chicago sports radio a few weeks back, and the White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen had this to say when asked about this guy being in the clubhouse "I think having a guy like that in the clubhouse would be hard to swallow." The guys on ESPN Radio 1000 nearly fell out of their...

    Yawn

    I wouldn't expect much for the rest of today or tomorrow, the NCAA tourney will be on every TV on the floor of the exchanges, and trading will be taking a back-seat to watching the games. I know it sounds stupid, but that's the reality. Same thing will happen when The Masters is going on...

    SPX b/o spread size- a real question about "THEY"

    The SPX and OEX are different beasts. For whatever reason (probably cuz they're exclusive to the CBOE) there are different rules that apply to them. Glad to help, Vega

    SPX b/o spread size- a real question about "THEY"

    Not sure if it still works the same way, but when I left the exchange was leaning really hard on the MMs to guarantee the markets on the screen. I think when I left that meant in the equities that everything posted was good for 200 up (may be 500 now). So if the MMs didn't take out the one...
