Here are a few not already mentioned... * Imposter * The 5th Element (cool and funny) * Space Cowboys * A.I. * Total Recall * Independence Day * Men in Black * Chronicles of Riddick * Western World (old classic) * Star Gate (the original one) Have fun!

Remember, this site does a great job at many of the basics of option trading but it is not comprehensive by any means. If I remember right, they do not discuss some important and basic things like: *The accelerating tendencies of Time Value Decay near Expiry Day. *I don't think they...

http://www.numa.com/derivs/ref/os-guide/os-0.htm Numa has a decent basic exposition on-line. Peace and gtty, Lar

High Vig is a significant issue in such a mulitlegged position. Also, generally speaking, I have found the search for profit with no risk to be a losing game. That kind of defense is expensive. Peace and Gtty, Lar

Got them today. Now I have to get a "hot rod" to run them.

I just bought eight of them. They haven't been delivered yet. Tech specs say they have 160 degree viewing angles horizontal and vertical. Peace and gtty, Lar

Today I ordered eight Dell E228WFPs. They will be a giant leap up from my current arrangement even though they are not the best available. I will get a high quality 24"er after the first set up pays for it. Then I'll use it as my primary moni. Thank you ProfitLogic, Gnome, Bandit77...

Good morning miniFORTUNE, That is some kinda set up... if I remember correctly Maestro's system has voice activated order entry. Way cool. Peace and gtty, Lar (btw - I wouldn't feel humilated by anyone's set up. Just gotta have the right tools for our own system.) :cool:

Hi bandit77, I stopped to re-assess my choices since Gnome's feedback and, since I am not ready to double my monitor budget, am working to see if I can do what I want with four 24s. My gut tells me I can do it with the 24s and would more likely be more long term satisfied with the higher...

Or sell OTM options and pray.

Yep. TFTs Sometimes I am not the quickest study but once I "get it" I usually keep it. TFT (Thin Film "T"ransistor) Not TFN (Thin Film "N"ot too sure what the hell I was thinking 'bout) :cool:

Maybe I'll just go ahead and take a closer look at the TFNs and see if that quality is acceptable (for now). It they'll get 'er done then maybe I can put more focus on the 'Puter requirements. Know of a smart Hotrod purchase that'll keep performing reasonably for the next few years?

Hi Gnome, Can you think of anyplace I could see them side by side?

Thanks Gnome, I am a real rookie when it comes to this so I appreciate your insights. It makes my homework and research more focused. Gottta love Wikipedia though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD#PVA I'll spend a bit more time comparing and I'll probably pop down to CompUSA to...

Linrom says, Point 1 - You didn't fail to exercize your options, you failed to offset (sell) your long option. If you had offset, you would have had a small positive balance from this trade. Exercizing them would have got you in the same predicament you are in now. Point 2 - You owned...

Thanks Profitlogic, Clearly, Gnome and bandit know their business. I am treating their comments like gold. Is there any particular "Hot Rod" you'd suggest? Lar

The lion's share of reviews for the 22s were pretty good as of lately. Price wise I thought the 19s were a little bit more costly than the 17s; the 20s were a little bit more costly than the 19s; the 22s a little more expensive than the 20s *Then* bam, the 24s more than double in price over...

(I assume you want to "buy" the straddle.) If I were attracted to buying a Straddle I would first look for the IV to be nearer the bottom of it's own 6 or 12 month range (as a percent). For example, if the ATM IV were .09 today but the last six months ATM IV bobbled around between .63 and...

Very interesting TD80, I agree. It is important to know who you are looking to take money from. Very wise to go after undisciplined dollars. I like how you view it in the here and now. Thanks. Peace and gtty, Lar
