this is a f in' joke. SPX only off by 3 and VXV up 2.5% ... and up 7% since Tuesday morning. thank god I sold the strangle 2 weeks ago and not on Monday If the breakfast is such a big concern, woudn't the market be falling hard now? Why the concern now instead of any other day

Zx They don't have a P and L because if they did it would show big losses...obviously Tastrytrade exists for one reason and one reason only: to generate fat commissions for think or swim

I suspect she blew up selling calls ..in nov-dec 2014 the market went up very strongly. She likely sold calls to hedge in October and then was caught off guard by the sudden rebound. Or maybe a major trade error . or maybe jsut plan oold fraaud

market is up .75% this week and the medium term volatility is also up a lot too? Anyone else notice this? really bad for call sellers to have rising IV and rising prices

selling calls can be worse than puts. It would not suprise me if she blew up that way. a lot of people also get blowup selling calls (rising IV + rising prices = account death) or from correlation breakdown (2007 quant meltdown). There are so many ways to lose money in the stock market, no...

lol about a week late on this

The lack of jail time is why corruption is still so permanent in this industry . Do the crime..if caught fess up, settle.

LTCM had a good strategy.. it was that the bailout was on such bad terms..it seemed unfair, like they were being screwed over. Had they been able to hold out ofr another few months, they would have continued to do well for many years. In fact, the strategy was replicated in later years with much...

The october selloff was not that big. How could she survive 2011 and not 2014? Maybe she got burned selling calls . She and victor should pair up to launch a new fund once the dust clears up

I guess the question is how much $ is left in the fund. It seems to have been losing $ ever since 2014

$800 million..I'm sure that means he's still a multi-millionaire..not bad amazed it's worth that much considering its devices are useless /fraudulent

is fraud the same thing as blowing up? i think so

Isn;t this illegal? what that genius, since they figured it out . More like do the crime pay the fine

wow ..this is some bad

There's a reason why they call it think-or-shit or tasty shit. No P&L disclosed, mediocre ideas, very high risk selling options on individual stocks, tons of commissions for TOS,

Some ideas: Selling delta 2 ES puts (as explained in the other thread)..I know some people hate this, but after a few weeks = guaranteed $ even if the market falls a lot. The margin requirements are surprisingly low. Selling neutral delta 20 200-day ES strangle. After 2 weeks, unless the...

I plan to use deep in the money options or sell collar to get around the borrow fee My research (to answer my question) is 'yes' - it does decay. In 2012, IEF (the 1x 7-10yr bond) was up 2% and had a 2% yield. The 2x and x3 inverse versons fell 10% and 15% in 2012, suggesting multiple sources...
