Maybe I missed it but surprised to see no chatter in this forum. This is a pretty big deal. MGT doing a R/M with Tera Exchange to form the only bitcoin derivative trading platform. TERA making an impressive and quick move here strategy wise to get list on the NYSE...

palawan & arbs - Great points. Did not even think of the liquidity. No way to accumulate that kind of size with the float in 2009 and even if you hypothetically could have; there would have been a massive move to the upside. So I should have just titled the thread. $26 invested in 2009 =...

Right. Thanks for pointing that out. The data/price as of that article is now very stale. However my calculation based on the $50K was with a little better current pricing assumed in the $1050 range per BTC around the recent highs. At $800 BTC that $50K would be around $7.5B. But its...

I was just reading an article about the chap who bought $26 worth of bitcoin in 2009 and completely forgot about his virtual wallet. A few months ago, it was worth nearly $900K. So for entertainment purposes I calculated what a $50K investment would look like. Kind of blows away MSFT, DELL...

Could not make it in time for the close. Man I hope you made some serious coin on this. Great analysis and spot on. The straddle was a no-brainer buy today. Might end up being a 2 bagger.

Uncanny call. Twitter IPO on the way now to boot. Hopefully you made a serious amount of coin on your vision, because in the end, that is all which matters most.

Logistically that is not something I can do. Also I am not sure if it came with a ROM copy of XP because the laptop has no internal drive and only has two USB ports. I have never had something like this happen to me on a fresh install. Strange. So with said, is it even plausible to try to...

There are some great computer folks on here so........ I have a smaller PC laptop, purchased 2 1/2 years ago new in box, came loaded with XP Home SP3. Recently I completely wiped the drive and restored to original factory settings (by utilizing the app that came on the HD with the laptop as...

Is anyone seriously looking to go long USD/JPY? I missed an entry point this AM at around 95.85ish just for a scalp though. Be interesting to see if it churns now in the mid 96's or if it just takes another leg down on new lows. At some point soon there will be a strong reversal and an...

So anyone put on any new trades lately? Looks like that short really worked out with a little patience. Gold taking a nice little reversal today while the USD/JPY makes new intraday lows. I am looking to get long here very soon for a scalp and possibly more if I can time it correctly.

Wow quite a swift move from yesterday's outlook on the buy side. Best wishes on that short rroverx. Wish I would have had time late yesterday. Was thinking about stepping in at the mid 99's handle. Oh well. We will chop around today. Next stop 101 or back under 100.

The two most important factors on whether you get into a Wharton type program is your GMAT score and your grades. If you are doing something incredible right now, professionally speaking, that could hold some weight. I am sure there are always exceptions or someone has a story about someone...

Could of ended up making 2 whole round trips. But instead I covered my short when it failed to go lower than 100.40 It took another run at mid 100.60 handle and then dipped back yet again. That time I watched as a spectator, but once it came back again bucking the markets weakness I went long on...

Nice. It seems that timeframe is used by a couple of folks I know. Interesting. Well looks like I may have caught a little break. When the markets started looking a little tired I took a short position on the USD/JPY @ $100.625 so see what happens. So far its moving in my direction. Most likely...

Hopefully Felix caught some of this move on the way up.

Churned for over 2 hours @ $100.40ish and sell side was looking heavy. I was almost going to enter and now just clipped higher with current ask @ $100.67. Looks like another flat position day for me. I may have to end up taking long side the way this is looking. Clearly yesterday's move off...

Thanks gents. Up indeed Felix. Still waiting for a possible entry point.

Does it see $98 before $100? Thought at one point today they were going to take it under $99 but its rallying back to near day's high. Anyone with any technical insight or just wants to chime in, feel free. Thanks.

That is why in my post above, I mentiond to consider opening a margin account. If a cash account is a mandatory variable in this equation, than buy/writes or synthetic puts indeed is going to be it.

One other point to consider is that quite often, especially the deeper ITM you go, on the naked put side, the credit you get vs. the debit price of what you will pay for long stock/short call will be better. Do not let the term naked put scare you. It simply means you are opening one single...
