The U.S. has been doing what Germany did in the 1930s for the past 7 years. I believe that you meant the 1920s

:D

Whoa! Amazing! Thanks.

No, he's intelligent. Some folks who don't know any better confuse this with being a clown. Now go off and vote for whichever candidate cons you the best.

Here's some music for everyday trading

First of all let me congratulate you on spelling "LOSE" correctly. That's a good sign. You probably know this, but I believe that you need at least 2000 to trade - some brokers require more. Of course, to have some cushion and flexibility, I would suggest starting with more, say, 5-10K...

Quasi - butterfly thingies

Vote your conscience. Is that so hard for Americans to understand? You don't vote for who you think can win. What's the point in that. How many of you voted for Bush? I never did. Especially to those who voted for him in 2004 - shame on you. Have you so lost contact with the truth that...

Don't know where you are hearing all this talk about exercising - but you are correct. Like many option traders, I trade spreads so one has to look at all of the options in the spread, rather than one option. I sometimes close, let them expire, or auto - exercise. Usually, I close...

I wish I had a nickel for everytime I've said, "I've a great strategy." Seriously, just a nickel.

I don't know how long you've been trading - but if it's easy then it's probably more luck than anything else. Whatever it is, perhaps subconsciously you know that it has been too easy and your fear is justified. It's easy to make money in the market and even easier to lose it. All traders...

I feel badly for the youngsters out there. This is their reality. I'm glad that I was raised in the 60s. We didn't even have a television until I was about 7. Inexpensive hand-held calculators came in when I was in high school. They call this crap progress - it is de-evolution...

I don't really know the answer - except that this has been going on for years at Philly. They are slow to update their quotes - at least at IB. And you may see your trade go through - for example I saw a 7 contract order "printed" last sale at my price yet my order was still green. I was...

Damn, I hope not.:D

I don't get it. I can't tell if I'm an idiot or not.

Yes:) I don't follow this stock - it is possible that if the stock was/is hard to borrow - that enough shorts covered during the drop - to make it easier to borrow the stock. This might lower put prices. That's some pretty high IV there. Lots of wiggle room there and in the B/A as well.

I've seen a few great posts here. The whole thread is enlightening and littered with posts by addicts telling the OP that he is not addicted. Of course most of the posters are not qualified or experienced enough to give the OP advice - including myself. I didn't read all of the posts so...

Shouldn't the U.S. be more concerned with establishing democracy in the U.S. first ?

Dang, this is one weird thread, oozing with bad karma. What the hell is wrong with you guys? Let me guess. Pikers that blew their penny ante accounts at IB.

Come on ... talking to Einstein ain't that hard.
