    Evolution Capital Management

    Your equation makes no sense at all, a $50 stock with 14 days to expiration at 9% vol would be valued at $7 per your model. Even MWD option with vols probably higher than that and at $52.65 don't trade nearly that high ($3.70); a good estimate? Try common sense. So I don't know how much you...

    Economic impact of possible attack on Iran

    Everyone's got their own truth. It doesn't matter. What matters is to make the mistakes as small as possible. Mistakes happen all the time, it's just that big mistakes can be averted. Iran is as big a country as Iraq and probably a lot stronger than Iraq, why in the name of God would the US...

    Why is it stupid not to know when news hits?? Are you serious? Payroll friday can be one of the more volatile days of the month, some of the biggest traders go flat into the news and you're asking me why it's stupid? Do you understand what I was saying or...?

    Referring to economic news...the morning numbers, usually happen before market opens.... This obviously does concern those who trade equity futures and hold overnight...For stock traders, while potentially affected by the broader market, one cannot do much about it anyways.
