stock_trader is off for a routine mental check at the local hospital but he'll be back soon to come forward with his schizo view on the economy and markets. :D

well for some reason is widely preferred across the us and beyond frontiers. the economist is conducting a poll across their subscriber base which is well informed and educated and the results are in the range of 9 to 1 in favour of obama with just 2 or 3 countries that have more mccain...

you entered a long vega position right when the volatility levels were about to reverse its course. in a deep otm contract, delta has very few weight, while vega carries the bulk of it. hence, your position lost value (when vega crushed) despite the underlying movement. predicting volatility...
