Do you really not get the point, or are you playing infant child? Well, let me see. You are implying that we are too naive to understand god's purpose - right? Well, if we are that naive then how could we possibly be clever enough to understand his existence or the evidence/lack of? Or...

"it seems especially curious since gods stated goal is to have man worship him." I'm not sure if that is true. It's a "comment" recorded by someone back in history (maybe) and not necessarily god's words. Iow potential "hearsay" or conjecture to make people walk a certain path. Geez, I hope...

quote from zzz: "As an infant child, were you in a position to reasonably question the logic of the decision making of your parents? Were you really in a position to understand their thinking?" Of course not. The point is? Daddy's boy

Forgive my ignorance and audacity to jump into this interesting thread. I really couldn't constrain myself. My question is as follows: Why would a god/deity cover his tracks so well that mere and ignorant (faulty, if you like) mortals like us can't for certain determine his/her/it's existence...

It doesn't really matter whether you trade options or stocks or futures. People will fail at any of these if their depth of understanding and experience is insufficient. Trading stocks is not nearly as complex as futures, which in turn are not nearly as complex as options. Options are by far the...

["am curious as to why you call this a double calendar? because you used a put and call at the same strike? typically d. calendar's use call and put but at different strikes to allow wider profit range of underlying."] I would call it a single calendar done twice, i.e. the first one is using...

"Websites...You've come to the right place." Yes, welcome, it's nice here. Daddy's boy

He obviously looked at his payoff diagram and found he had a good risk/reward graph when he first embarked on his venture, lol. He now has 36 months of vacation time to set up a new business (or maybe just go to another state?). daddy's boy

amateur wrote: "Selling deep in the money leaps is often a better alternative to selling short the underlying equity." What type of deep itm leaps are you selling? I assume they must be calls since you are comparing them to "selling short the underlying equity". It's my understanding that a...

"Broh, put the crack pipe down for a minute, and get out your calculator" - that is good, lol, I wish I could come up with stuff like that. :) "Your $3.30 basis vs. $2.50 current mid value" - that is bad, but only a relatively small loss at this stage. daddy's boy

Daniel5198 If there is a vol crush then I hope you are only paper trading this one. daddy's boy

I trade (analyze and pick strategy and place order online) mostly when the markets are closed (US and Australian) - I generally get filled during a trading session (usually due to the day's trading range) without needing to amend an order. The type of strategies I use don't require intraday...

You're right. He's about $600 in the red and needs about a 3 point up move to b/e. What's emp number? daddy's boy

I think he's long the 129 calls. daddy's boy

cnms2 "You need to forecast both the underlying price and your options implied volatility over their life. All three elements are equaly important: price, IV, time." That's what I was referring to with the term "prognosis"...

Hi Riskarb I understand "dump it now" but "You're nearly flat deltas and GAMMAS here... so you're not manufacturing longs beyond your put position". What does that mean? daddy'sboy

Brothertruffle, Ask yourself "what is my prognosis for the underlying" and if you can answer that then your problem is almost solved. daddy's boy

Only if you're naughty again, lol!

Ok, I will. Maybe I can borrow one of Arnie's shovels? :D :D :D :D :D

Geez people, I wrote: "Furthermore, your claim that people write otm options (say a put) because of xyz reasons means that you don't understand that buying an itm option (say a call) of the exact same strike as your written otm put, and expiry has the exact same greeks, risks etc.." I've...
