Nobody knows a good link for this? Does everyone else get the same blank page when they click on the Barrons item after searching? Thanks, JJacksET4

Have any of you guys seen the ads for CashCall? Something like "yes, we are a bit expensive, but we are here" or something. Just for the fun of it some of us at worked looked up their website thinking the rates would be hidden, but they are right there...

Hi there, I am looking for a place to find the NYSE Weekly Highs/Lows in a table format (i.e. I don't want to see what stocks hit highs/lows, just a list of the count). A few weeks ago, I found what I wanted with a search that linked into Barrons.com. This is the page that the search came...

I don't quite understand what was going on here either. You might have to give more information. From what you are saying the spread is .25, yet you are only asking for .20? You said Bull Put spread right, so a credit spread? Normally a person would then ask for .25 or higher, not lower...

I hate to sound mean, but apparently the company didn't really gain much from what the first manager was doing. Maybe he just didn't add value to his job. Maybe he could have done better. I don't know for sure of course, but some people do get by doing the minimum and collecting their pay...

Personally I would hope anyone trading futures realizes that - also anyone selling short and selling options without protection as well. Killing ones self over money is just stupid - just move to a farm in ND, MT, OK, whatever - mow lawns for a living or something - half the people would...

What percent of people do you really think however aren't paying any rent or mortgage and are then just spending their money on consumer goods? I own some rental properties and they are all paying - people who are renting apartments are paying, and there are still a huge majority of people...

I think one thing you forgot is that if the market stays up, you have to transfer money from account A to account B on occasion - your losses in account B will add up as the puts you buy become worthless. So, the brokerage would be able to trace that you either are or know account A, because...

If they built the places using good planning in the first place, they could probably get robotics along with computers to do all of that work.

"A female-looking bot with fake fluttering lashes stands at the door to welcome diners..." Based on the picture shown, I don't think those "bots" look very female! or even male for that matter, so I think that's kind of a joke. On a serious basis though, that's impressive if it always...

I don't necessarily disagree with the idea, but I would highly recommend considering at least somewhat closer to the money puts. The Feb SPY 118 puts are only ask at $108 as I type this. Better to pay a bit more and be that much closer to the money IMO. JJacksET4

Spin, Thanks for that quick and simple report. When people claim options do pin to a price, I think they always show an example where it worked or was very close. Then, when it doesn't work, they say things like "The markets didn't react as usual this time", or it was a fluke that it...

Wilt, Go to www.888options.com Go to the menu on top -> Advanced and Position Simulator. There you can view positions with up to 4 legs + stock if needed. You will have to enter basic info like the current stock price, IV, what months are available, etc. It's not too hard to use. It...

I saw them do the same thing once with AAPL. I'm sure it can work, but it is purely a directional bet. I guess I wonder how smart it is when one really bad play can backfire so bad. For example, if FDX were to get pounded, you don't just lose the 35 cents, but you will now get FDX shares...

Let's look at why would there be riots - poor people are getting so much now, you are saying they would riot if no unemployement insurance, no healthcare, no welfare - ok Why would the govt do that - they can continue to print money no matter what anyone says and govt. officials know they may...

I completely agree with all of the above. JJacksET4

I don't necessarily believe in gaps always being filled, and VIX it not a stock, etc. However, I really am amazed at the utter lack of fear in this market. I wouldn't be surprised to see people putting all their money into NFLX, AMZN, BIDU, GS or whatever and feeling like they are safer then...

I wish I had gotten into these guys a while back: STAA They make ICLs, which are basically contact lens that are permanently implanted into one's eyes. This can replace (or be used with) LASIK, and contact lenses. Oh, I did actually get this surgery myself (around mid '09) and have...

It seems like there are alot of people on ET who at least claim to do quite well on Long Iron Condors though. Don't you think that is possible, or do you think they are probably making money for 3 or 4 months, only to get pounded the next month, etc. I guess if a person is capable of making...

BradR, Just looking at the SLB trade, I don't quite understand something or maybe the numbers I'm seeing aren't correct. You mention you were stopped out, but your org. post says you were going to risk double premium. According to OptionsXpress, the high for that option was $147 on the...
