70-100% a year, over the long term.... no big deal.

I understand that. Life needs water, obviously. I haven't heard about any cattle dieing from lack of water however. When Tyson complains about losing $70m in the 4th quarter, I'd attribute that to cattle being correlated with the huge drop in oil.... not a shortage of water, not...

Well...yeah. I don't know of any water futures?? Although there are weather futures... I'm just saying that intuition says there should be a longer term correlation with the price of cattle and the price of oil, since the cost of raising cattle is dependent on the cost of things that depend...

I haven't followed cattle, but that surprises me. I would have thought that the cost of raising cattle is tied to the price of feed (corn,grain, etc..), which should also drop with oil due to cheaper harvesting cost (I haven't followed grains either...) ...which would mean it is cheaper to feed...

Ugh, these cry babies need to adapt or die. Oil tanked....I have to believe the price of cattle is tightly coupled to oil? It isn't the volatility hurting these boys... its the trend. The article mentioned that CME is adding new order flow rules for the cattle contracts, effective Feb 1...

Why AMD instead of nvidia? Cuda seems to have more support than opencl

...c'mon man

Based on the questions he has been asking over the last couple of days, I don't think thats what he meant at all.... I think he wants to buy $100 Strike Call at a limit price of $100.... when the the underlying is priced at $105. I don't think he is talking conditional entry/exit at all..

You're still fundamentally misunderstanding what options are...When you're placing the order, the strike price is defined by the contract you're buying. Sure you could put your limit at the strike price... but why would you want to pay $100 for an option that is worth $5? Seriously, buy an...

Generally, yes. If implied volatility is the same for all of the expirations, than the longest expiration contract is going to be the most expensive. You can look at options chains on yahoo finance to get an idea of how price varies with time until expiration (Natebergs books have charts...

Unless you have a good reason to do so, you should NEVER take an option into expiration though... You should sell it before expiration. As time until expiration goes to zero (the "limit", if you are a calculus guy), the price of the option will go to its intrinsic value. You'll also notice...

If you bought a $10 call for $1.20 ( $120 due to x100 multiplier built into options), and the underlying was price was $11 at expiration, you would make $100 - $120, that is: You lose $20

If you had a $10 Strike price CALL option, and the underlying went to $11 and you held the option until expirtation (dont do this) You would have $1 Profit (per share 1 option = 100 shares) minus whatever you paid for the call option . So if the volatiilty was high when you purchased the...

Intrinsic value is the the difference between the in the money strike price and the underlying price. For example, a $10 Strike Call would have an intrinsic value of $1 if the underlying price was $11, a $12 call would have zero intrinsic value. Both options likely have a market price of more...

Just use a different broker... Or give IB a call....they may make an exception.

Do you know what the difference between a put and call option is? It seems like that may not be the case. Buying a deep in the money call is the same-ish as going long the stock. Buying a deep in the money Put is the same-ish as shorting the stock... You can also short(sell) call and put...
