Buy at $105.00 Sell at $100.00 There goes your credit plus commissions. :)

I would assume that any tidbit of news would have a big impact on BBRY - hence the high IV. I don't see why time would influence the IV. Unexpected news can come at anytime. :)

I still don't get it. Why would a call holder reject the shares because of a dip during after hours? IMO ....... If in doubt close them out - A classic ET thread everybody should read on expiring options: Margin Call on an IB IRA account (Need Suggestions) That thread has made me more aware...

You just got bamboozled. No way does that post (#9) make sense to you, it sure doesn't to me. :)

The number of shares is a moot point. :)

The scenario you are describing would be extremely rare and if it did happen perhaps the buyer doesn't care about the nickles. He can take the shares or not take the shares - six of one, half dozen of the other. :)

One of the two oil versions of The Scream probably could fetch a Billion dollars if it was auctioned off. :)

IMO .... Star Wars is not the greatest science fiction movie of all time. These 5 are much better. Planet of the Apes - 1968 2001 A Space Odyssey - 1968 Alien - 1979 Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1956 Repo Man - 1984 :)

we? ..... As in the all of us? You should re-phrase your post to something like: "thanks man, I learn so much when you speak to yourselves." :)

There is a formula for that strategy. Buy stock that is going down + Sell stock that is going up + Collect Peanuts = Money Loser :)

You never know what will happen after earnings. Stocks can go down on good earning reports or climb on poor earning reports - 20/20 hindsight analyst then kicks in and it all makes sense - until the next time. Options are much more expensive pre-earnings due to the uncertainty of what will...

I have made some changes to the Python CSV to CSV script: Added a format_currency function to change 12345.67 into $12,345.67 and -12345.67 into ($-12,345.67). Instead of calling the write_file function with each loop I have now concatenated each loop together into a string and then write to...

Python CSV to PDF Script Now on to the next step, a Python CSV to PDF script. I will be using the Python pyfpdf PDF generation library, which is based on FPDF the php library. I have used FPDF before and it is very good. More info: pyfpdf - PDF generation library Formatting will include...

The 1,000,000 Line Test I created a simple Python script that would loop 20,000 times through the 59 line CSV file and output a 1,180,000 line file to test the efficiency of the CSV to CSV script. Python CSV to CSV Script INPUT: 1,180,000 lines of raw data from a 105mb CSV file. OUPUT...

I have updated the Python script with some changes. Reading from the input file in reverse has now been integrated into the main body of the script. Some of the variables have been renamed to clarify their function. The footer output has been rearranged. I have added a timestamp function which...

I had a lot of problems with lists and dictionaries, I ended up with special characters I couldn't get rid of. That's why I also call the write function with each loop, instead of writing once to file at the end. 100 lines will call the write function 100 times. :)

Looks like I picked a variable name that closely resembles a function. I assigned the comma to the join and split variable to make the script easier to change to handle different characters in the CSV file. Example: I can output using ZZZZZZZ to join the lines instead of a comma. Then input...

OK ...... I checked out Pandas and the Python CSV module. Pandas It doesn't come with the standard Python installation so I couldn't run any tests, and I couldn't find any examples on line that interested me. It is overkill for my needs so I won't bother with it. Python CSV module It comes...

Good idea .... and lets build on the common and quality poster idea to make things simpler. Common posters would have a special ET rating of 25 points while quality posters would be rated at 75. Baron gets 100 points, mods 90, newbies 10. But members in good standing can trade points with other...
