So far I've been using only web-based stuff for my market activities but I'm having trouble finding anything that will let me chart option spreads. Web based or not, does anyone know where I can do this? Especially live multiday intraday charts.

I think I recall there being a rule that an insider can't buy or sell shares for x days before releasing big news. Is that right? How long is "x"? Does it include company buybacks?

Right now OptionsHouse is quoting WTW 5-5-17 23.5 call for 1.10/1.40 bid ask and tradingblock.com is quoting it for 0.15/0.30 What gives?

When did germans start talking like they just realized they ate cat food?

How close do you usually get to expiration before you start to see the price move toward the peg? 3 days? 2days? 2 hours?

You would be better off doing the futures contract and hedging with far OTM options. You can get the same result a lot cheaper and have better odds of making money and still being protected. Also you can run the trade for a longer period of time. The exception might be if you are confident this...

Ok here it is. Can you make money? Sure. You can scratch in the dirt making 20-50 percent a year without too much work. But can you MAKE MONEY. No. Not for most people. The smart guys are managing billions and eating up the best opportunities and not leaving more than they have to behind. Well...

Suppose I have 5 variables that I hope will predict, or at least correlate with a sixth and seventh. 1) I want to find out how to weight them. 2) But also, I suspect that some of the variables might "weigh" more when other variables are high or low. 3) In addition some of the variables may have...

Going long OTM put and call several months out. See the chart here: http://www.theoptionsguide.com/vega.aspx I'm looking forward to seeing what the more experienced traders have to say. I have not tried it before. Or maybe someone can post after trying it out.

You hit on a key point. "Authority" They have none. Its not like they were the customer's parents or police or something. If morons go around hitting themselves in the head with hammers are we going to put the hammer manufacturers in prison? If someone is so dumb they need a sign to figure out...

Yeah yeah, go ahead and make your tinfoil hat comment.

Ha! That's what I'm getting at. You are focused on denying the banks income, instead of focusing on your own needs. Its spite and hate slowing you down. If you get a 30Y but prepay principle at the 15 Y payment rate you save money. Bonus, you can always make the 30Y payment if your budget...

I'd let it go. For the most part it is what I call "assisted natural selection," I know one smoker that I loved deeply. The rest were overly aggressive spoiled selfish retards. That's not murder, its volunteering.

After that test trade in very small amounts. This is to get you to take heed of the bid ask spread which kills most trading systems.

This is kind of like getting a mortgage. A lot of people say you should get a 15 year mortgage because it pays off faster. This is retarded. There is nothing stopping you from paying down the principle of a 30 year mortgage and the lower payments of a 30y will cut your risk in case you encounter...

My advice: buy a video game; hell, get two. Also, start a lawn mowing business or buy into a local business. You will be better off. Most stocks are trading at 30-40 times earnings. A brick and mortar business goes for around 5 times earnings. Also the management at the brick and mortar business...

I'm going to give honorable mention to the Chevy Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria. There are reasons they were so popular with police beyond price. Roomy, rugged, adequate horsepower. I've had people try to run me off the road and I've had to bump a few off the road in turn. I've also had to take...

Hmmm, Baron for president? He'd be a lot better than most of the other presidents we have had. I think we could get him elected. What do you guys think?

So... picking up grains of salt... covered in shit... in front of a steam roller? Screw it. I'm getting a job at mcdonalds. :) It might not be cleaner, but at least I'll make more money :-)
