If they can't forecast anything,...how can they be a tool to understand risk. The crystal ball works just as good as the Greeks.

Yes the Greeks are very good at forecasting the past. Once again the ET participants spew out their spurious-intellectual price model jargon while failing to comprehend any substantiation that proves my point.

So how does knowing the ever changing "Theoretical" sensitivities help you hedge ?? The delta today is .65 yet the real delta is only .13 oh but thats because the IV was 18.43% but now its 12.86% or was it that the Gamma effected the delta....or was it that the Vega that changed...

Not Joking. Don't need the Greeks to hedge. After over 30 years I've yet to see the Greeks of any real use. Yet to see anyone on ET prove otherwise.

If the socialists left wing propaganda media came out and blamed the holocaust on Bush, I'm sure you'd believe it.

Typical left wing socialist propaganda, you don't like someone ...just call them a raciest, play the race card anytime you can. I have no doubts that if Fast and Furious had happen with a Republican in the WH, the story would be the lead nightly and front page daily from the start.

volality ???:confused: Forget the Greeks!

It would be nice......But no volume....no liquidity.

Typical for the leftists: Show them facts and they call you foul names and put you on ignore. Do it on the radio and they want to pass laws to have you silenced. Criticize Obama with facts and they call you a racist... and then put you on ignore. Point out just how desperate the...

Priced on the day of the post. $367 was the highest point that I saw. -$2,290 was the lowest based on settlement prices. No, it's not still on since those were April contracts.

3 Years Old. Under President Obama: Julia is enrolled in a Head Start program to help get her ready for school. Because of steps President Obama has taken to improve programs like this one, Julia joins thousands of students across the country who will start getting their first indoctrination...

So according to you, no one should EVER ask a question!! About anything! Everything that's been done before should be ignored because thinking that it may have some value is "naive". Is that how you trade? You automatically assume that the question is for the Holy Grail of tech...

One thing I've used for many many years is a 10 day moving average of the NYSE TRIN vs. a 50 moving average. When the market is oversold I tend to look more for bullish plays, and when overbought I'll look for the bearish. ============================================= It's too bad...

I'm confused the chart has May - Sep, but the symbols are for Jul - Sep

Most of my trading is in daytrades. 99.9% of the time that I hold longer are in the spreads. Sometimes the spread has much lower margin requirements. Corn New crop vs. Old crop can be as low as $400. What I look for are spreads that are way out of wack based od historical or seasonal...

The disparity will vary from season to season. (see attached) So it's not just this season. One can't compare the dissimilarity in the contract months in Corn to the general correlation one would see in the indices' or metals. The index and the metals deal with a more or less fixed...
