It's a weird list - were submissions voluntary? ...undoubtedly some are killing it, but there are others who are getting killed (what are shitty FAs doing on the list - 38MM in AUM?).

...I wouldn't trust them, they've been long the Euro since late '07.:p http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7078612.stm

Haha, so does the title have anything to do with the story or does it just describe those who've read the book? Good for her though, that is impressive.

An enigma wrapped within a question, within a trust, within a trust.

Have you looked at the Wii?

Right, the point is it's not simply a leveraged delta position as you would normally have if you leveraged 2 or 3xs. It's also a position on volatility. That's why people say to be careful, since you think you are only exposed to the risk of leverage, though in reality you are exposed to...

On what timeframe is the data you're using as an input - are you using daily data? Sounds like a fun acct to run. GL.

Haha. Yup agaig is a great movie, but still doesn't compare to bwol's rollerblading reality TV.

I'd be careful, selling naked front month vol is rarely most conservative or limited risk. -2c.

Dude, that's a lot of words, not sure you said much...and if you think the CFA helped you study options you're more than mistaken. Cheerio.

Seems like some complicated/expensive solutions here. IMO, the easiest way to practice is download some free yahoo data into excel and start by coding the most simple rule you can think of. (i.e. buy tomorrow, sell after tomorrow). Go from there depending on what you want to test. ...as...

I was slightly disappointed - each character seemed really contrived. The movie struck me more as a PSA, then a movie. That said, I did think it was enjoyable and thought Paul Bettany and Zachary Quinto were good. ...and Demi Moore's still pretty hot considering she's pushing 100.:D

Isn't half the trouble finding it in the first place?:p

If you expect a retrace, there's better positions to take advantage. If you're more worried it won't retrace, then you probably shouldn't close out your first position to begin with (or maybe more accurately you should close it and leave it at that). I'm just not really seeing the benefit of...

1) If you have ATM Put/Call then isn't that a conversion? 2) Assuming not ATM, the natural equivalent is bull put spread - then all you're doing is taking a loss and entering into another bull put spread. I'm not really seeing how this is much of an adjustment as much as closing and opening...
