worth the plane ticket apparently...

Be interesting if GOOG doesn't get included on Thursday.

.5 Delta is ATM right? If it got there I would think most players would be long gone. As we all know, it's the picking up nickels in front of a steam roller issue. Comes the day...:eek:

He could be saying to himself "Just 6 more months. Come on Baby just hold on for 6" :)

got it... court victory in oxycontin battle.

There was a good thread on selling OTM SPX spreads recently by someone with the handle Option Coach... If you didn't see it you might want to read through it. He seems to have managed well so far. Of course, the blow-up loss is enormous in this approach... and, of course, the pucker factor...

It's interesting that this strategy is much less successful this year. Both funds are below 5% returns so far. Ansbacher's performance note talks of volatility in April greater than that at 9/11. He didn't sound to happy about things -- even though he made money. Having said that, anyone...

Any news on why this one was halted?

You can compare Ansbacher to the Zenith Fund which does the same thing -- over a much shorter lifespan. Look them up on the IASG site and you will see he makes money the same way...

Looking at the equity curve it looks as if you might not have taken all the trades -- i.e. run out of capital. You might check the number of trades by using a constant position sizing to see how many trades you are missing and how the trade performance varies as a result. Another idea is to...

Do I hear an apology or two coming? :)

I wonder if they can push it back above 4% today...that would be some reversal.

I remember the last time we were here -- it was the deflation scare. We got to 120ish and then tanked all the way back to just under 100. There were some crazy trading days there. We may see them again soon... although Bill Gross is talking 3.6% on the ten year... :)

right into the report...

yes...that was my question. :)

Anyone know if you can trade gold futures in Euro's on IB if your base account is denominated in US$ -- looking for a contract designation really... Thanks.

Wasn't Refco bought by TH LEE recently. I find it hard to believe that they are going to let the thing implode...
