http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=SPY+Interactive#{"range":"2y","allowChartStacking":true} Brexit, interest rates and the Fed etc. etc. etc. The market has been knocking against 215 for 2 years... it doesn't want to go any higher. It's summer time. Time to pack it in until fall. Trade: with...

These are real. Yahoo shows the volume for today in the 60/65. The 40/35 was yesterday. I am evidently the only trader doing this spread. That's good. No competition... but sometimes it means no fill as the MM's sometimes just ignore me. I guess they don't want to put down their pastrami...

Filled the 60/65 bear call spread for $70 to complete the Iron Condor. Sooooo: Cost/Proceeds ($140.00) Option Requirement $500.00 Total Requirements 500 - 140 = $360.00 Yield = $140/$360 = .38888 = 39% in 188 days= 75% annualized. The market just wasn't gonna give me another $100 so I...

Bankers committing suicide: http://nypost.com/article/why-are-so-many-bankers-committing-suicide/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow&sr_share=twitter Here's my advice to any banker contemplating suicide: Sell the house in the Hamptons Put the kids in public...

Well... so far I've gotten $70 for the 40/35 bull put spread. This would yield me 70/430 = 16.3% in the 188 days. That's 31% annualized. The market won't give me the $100 I want for the 60/65 bear call spread ...yet. It's entirely possible given current bid/ask so I'll be patient for the...

I just don't see why the exit of the UK from the EU would have any effect at all on the economy. Especially in the states. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but there are lot of people who don't want the exit (e.g. because they might lose their jobs ) and they are in positions where they...

"much better opps" Really? Tell us about them :) TAN had a really bad day today. How low can an ETF go? Can it go to zero? How about negative... where someone would pay you to take it off their hands. But, given the rosy picture being painted for the near future of solar maybe a debit spread...

Well I plead guilty to that. After reading your post I made some little effort to recheck my facts but gave up. The number of people writing about it and saying totally contradictory things makes it a nightmare to get an objective picture. I do know that there are a number of people writing...

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/world/europe/britain-european-union-brexit.html?_r=0 I don't know that Britain leaving the EU...or not... will have that much of a negative effect here in the states. Personally: I could care less. First of all there will be a two year negotiation...

So the spread on TLT we wrote in Oct is about to expire and 255 days later we have made our money on it pretty much without incident. To me this trade is the prototype of what I want to achieve by my trades. I target 15% annualized with a prob of 90%. This is it. Now I would like to roll this...

It's funny we should be talking about Oracle here in 2016. Back in the 1970's I was tasked by the drug company I worked for with choosing a DBMS for the scientific community in the company. The major contenders at the time were Oracle and Ingres. Ingres was an academically produced system (U...

Those of us who have been through both sides of selling premium and thus have a healthy respect for the risks involved shiver a little when we hear the naiveté this fellow is spouting. It makes you want to grab him by his lapels and shake him until his eyeballs rotate. But hey. He will...

the options and the underlying are completely separate markets, and thus are subject to supply/demand etc. e.g. when a stock moves up there may be a supply of unhappy call owners who will take the opportunity to dump their calls... increasing the supply of calls and moving the call price down...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/oracle-hit-whistleblower-lawsuit-over-221558696.html http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=orcl No prob so far. We're still well within the range of the Iron Condor. Where do these companies come up with this stuff anyway?? Is ORCL REALY falsifying their financials...

The SEC complaint: http://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2016-98.html I'm glad. Whenever people seem to be defying gravity there is always the catch. The man behind the curtain who really is no wizard at all. Chalk another one up and we'll probably see Karen the Super Trader in Allenwood as...
