What I was really trying to do is bring out the nuance that the stock market unlike the options or futures market is not a zero sum game. When stocks go down money just disappears. No one is on the other end to receive it. When money disappears there is less money to rebuy stocks after a...

Normally a wide spread is indicative of a low volume contract. And if it was today wide b/a spread is also an indication that no one knows what is going to happen. It is an additional proxy for volatility. 9 ask 0 bid seems like a glitch. Or no one was awake who wanted to buy it.

Maybe there is a different S&P 500. I have the close at 2728.37. Not saying market will not go back up but it will take a while, if even, to get back full recent losses. People will be in shock with bond funds. My understanding is that when interest rates go up bond prices go down. And...

Takes for all the replies. I wish that last couple of days I had only been doing 1's and 2's.

Stock trading is not a zero sum game. When someone loses money, someone else does not receive that money. When stocks go down and stay down the implied money just disappears. This makes it harder to rebuy the shares that have gone down. The money is just gone. If it is actually stocks, I...

I do options on individual stocks. Just today I rediscovered options time and sale data. I was take by the preponderance of 1 and 2 unit contracts. Who are the people writing these contracts?

Not sure if this is true or not. However, you will find a Chinese in almost every graduate program in the US. They have been ripping off our intellectual property for 40-50 years. Many graduate departments need Chinese students to justify their existence. Chinese "students" do very little to...

Many expect option prices to always religiously reflect some type of BS formula. There are some assumptions underlying that model that few appreciate. One is that the financial asset can be easily traded - volume. You want to be able to quick flip. The real culprit here is lack of option...

Ford, Ramirez,Swetnich, and Avenatti should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If the FBI found no collabonating evidence - they all lied. Harsh penalties for perjury must be pursued to establish the penalty for lying - for attention. It must be established that there are severe...

For everyone defending Ford what is your response to "And, it goes without saying, Democrats will demand another delay after this delay, and they will call the investigation unfair no matter how it's conducted or how it concludes." How would you justify additional delays?

Is Christine Blasey Ford still undergoing therapy and is she still taking medication? I wondered about the polygraph test. From - https://www.breitbart.com/big-gover...ght-no-evidence-but-plenty-of-contradictions/ Dr. Ford’s polygraph is a joke. She was only asked two very broad questions...

"When you say "Ford's selective memory is not a well-documented phenomenon." is that based on your gut feeling or actual knowledge?" Dramatic events can cause memory suppression. But in a majority of the cases it it the event itself that is suppressed and not so much the events around it...

"memory lapse regarding some details" Actually she seems to have forgot almost every detail. When, Where, How Dramatic memories are not erased but suppressed. Usually via clinical psychology more details of the dramatic event can be retrieved. In most cases it is not the surrounding...

Ford credible? What we do know Ford 1. Does not know when the event happened 2. Does not know where the event took place – location or whose house 3. Does not know how she got to the house 4. Does not know how she got home Everyone she names as being there does not recall the event I am...

smallfil, Good for you. What State and District are you in? i only ask because we need to win everywhere. Make sure everyone you know votes. I am hoping they are voting Conservative (Republican), but if not i hope they have a good plan. You can not just let everyone have everything. if...

Do whatever. But do this. Email, call, or throw a rock at your Congress Man and Senator. Tell them what you want. Do it often. Get everyone to do it. Make something happen.

Slart, I apologize. I actually think Kavanaugh did something. Or at the very least I will concede that point. My position is if it was only as described then it was not a big deal. At least Kavanaugh knows something about Life. I am 67. I did enough for everybody. If you are young you...

Slart, How about you Dude? Did you do anything we should know about 35 yrs ago. Sorry, you might not be 35. Maybe a poop in the pants.

Slart, I suspected I had encountered one underexposed John Galt (/ɡɔːlt/) is a character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Although he is not identified by name until the last third of the novel, he is the object of its often-repeated question "Who is John Galt?" and of the quest to...

Slart, You have a lot of posts. Good for you. I am willing to debate any point you might have with my post. My point is the the whole Kavanaugh proceedings weakens the American image and emasculates the American male. Bring it on Dude.
