I'll just leave this here... https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/09/06/swedish-scientist-proposes-cannibalism-fight-climate-change/

ITYM "demand". HTH, HAND...

Yeah... there's no such thing as "company's wealth". I'm not going to give you an entire basic education on how business assets work, but... you need at least a general understanding of how business works before you can come anywhere near understanding the answers to the questions you're asking...

You have a fatally-flawed assumption right in the beginning of your first sentence, and it makes all of the rest of your ideas wrong. "Worth $1000" to whom? The range of opinions about value is what defines and creates markets. If you think that your car is worth $1000 but the rest of the world...

I really liked the original version, but this one... sounds more true.

Mild correction: the important part is not that some textbook says it, but that it's a fact. Examining the P&L graph for both, or simply understanding put-call parity, should remove need to take it on faith. @Epicurus, there are two parts to this - and they're not in any way relevant to each...

I knew it! All those inhumanly precise answers... all that HFT knowledge, almost as if there was a personal slant on it... The robots are not just coming. They're HERE.

You may find it worth your while to look up the synthetic equivalent to naked puts, and then consider if your assertion still makes any sense to you.

:) One of the main things that I've actually enjoyed about this world is that exact effect (weird, I know.) My shameful, dirty little secret has always been that most things come easily to me; I've always felt like I'm cheating at life, especially when I watch other people struggle with it. This...

What are you laughing at? Most dangerous thing imaginable. Worse that clubbing cute little baby seals, not wearing a condom while sharing AIDS-infected syringes to inject Krokodil, and setting off dirty nukes in NYC. There oughta be a law.

Just had this exact conversation today, almost word for word. Oddly, the guy has been running endless analyses, backtests, projections, etc. on how well selling puts works - and still parroted the silly "options are riskier than stocks" story.

@Wheezooo, I don't think you're being confrontational at all; the story would normally smack of excessive drama to me, and trigger question marks of all sorts (all right, I can be a bit of a cynical bastard; so sue me). But "wldman" is one of the more respected members on futures.io, has been...

A guy on futures.io recounted how, on his first day on the phone as the only trader for his firm (the one experienced guy they had took off on vacation - 'cause nobody could tell him "no" - and gave him minimal to no training), the other traders smelled blood in the water and were yelling orders...

Oooh, de Montaigne - good stuff (and something I definitely believe in)! Yeah; I do seminars for professionals, where I teach them to make big jumps in money and status at work. Zero room for bullshit, because these people WILL call you out in a hot New York minute. If I wasn't good at actual...

On the dot. I understand the need to be cautious and use your judgement (as in anything in life, duh!), but being a coward is far worse than getting fooled. When you take action, you WILL make mistakes... but then you'll get up, dust yourself off, and learn not to make that mistake again...

@qlai , perhaps you should look up the meaning of "irony" (hint: it does not mean "kinda like iron.") I was poking fun at the silly idea of requiring everyone to show credentials of success before learning anything from them. I certainly learned a fair bit from Rod today.

Forgot to list this one from yesterday: SPY 191018P285 4.02cr Then, today happened: SPY 191018P285 2.93db from 4.02cr Nice $105.00 overnight gain X 190927P11.5 0.48db from 0.51cr Out with a small positive after watching an ugly P&L on it for ages AAPL 191018P205/191018P200/191018P190 0.28db...

A Romulan Bird of Prey in the Aldebaran sector - which is obviously synthetically equivalent to 16 gutted larks in a pear tree - has multi-dimensional delta and is long both gamma and theta, with zero vega risk as well as credit that is the sum of all the bids and asks on the chain. Be sure to...

You're right; everyone should take your sage advice. I mean, you are a successful trader... right? Can we see some definitive proof of that? Otherwise, everyone will just have to delete all they've heard from you from their minds completely. Start developing one from what, nothing? Because...
