Sorry about your trade. The FBI should investigate who made the most on this. Does not pass the smell test.

Ditto. You're buying yourself a job.

For some reason I can't take my eyes off Michelle CC's chest. And Trish R does it for me. Don't know why. Really it's mostly entertainment, but you can gauge market sentiment if you listen, and bet opposite. Sometimes the glare from Charlie Gasparino's oily skin causes retinal scarring...

Incorrect, sir

My intuition tells me the answer is 51% You have a 70% chance squared of NOT reaching those strikes .7 x .7 = .49 Therefore the inverse has to be 51%.

I won't accept the idea that, in the future, a dem president will be better for the economy. 59 years of study be damned. Though it may hold to be true, the study does not contain enough reasoning for me. How about a study of congress instead? The prez doesn't have the authority to spend a...

A spurious correlation. You cannot make the logical jump.

It's not quite the same. Your opportunity cost is a whole lot of upside in return for a couple % a month. Over the long run, it can average out to be quite similar to holding the underlying but with less volty. Will slightly outperform in declining or stagnant markets, and will underperform in...

The risks are ALL about leverage. There is a huge difference between selling 1 month ATM puts on the SPY consecutively and rolling, with cash to back the possible assignment. That is a valid strategy. That's a whole lot different than capturing the same $ premium by selling OTM puts, shorting...

It was on CNBC earlier today. Silicon Valley tech reporter.

Chrome. Should be interesting. Why don't they come out with their own take on Linux? Lure away some of those Redhat engineers. The o/s market is RIPE for a new big time player, with the vista debacle.

The markets are MOSTLY efficient. I like the term unpredictable vs random. If they were truly random the returns on any scale would resemble more of a bell curve, which they don't. I suppose the term irrational could also be substituted. JMO

Oil currently a 110 handle LOL

We're all speculators IMO. Questions about morality are irrelevant. Natural selection takes care of bad speculators/traders.

Hate to jump into this but: If one of your trading philosophies is maintaining a certain delta, even if neutral, then you do what you have to do to bring it in line, and an easy way to do it is sell calls near the money. You don't want to go to war with the tape and you get some nice juice. I...

Just out of curiosity, is there a term to describe the other side of the "scalping gamma" trade?

The $$$ from the sale would be added to your cash, but the current market value of the short option would be added to your margin requirement (which is a %age of the underlying).
