Volente might get what he wants today.

forex-forex, You're so funny! Got a good laugh out of your first visual.

Latin American stock market isn't fairly too well either. It seems stock markets all over the world are down. What does this say?

Have you considered only selling covered calls during the day, or last couple days, of expiration. Calls are so overpriced considering the fact that they will expire worthless very soon. If I do covered calls, I'd do something like this. But volitality has been much lowered now than it was...

Haha, a conspiracy! I think they're starting to hate it when traders are acting like MMs and taking away their B/A spread profits.

Interesting. I think I've found a huge, huge market inefficiency. But there's an assignment risk attached to it. Perhaps, by using exotic options I can let someone else bear the blunt.

VEry hard to hedge with DIA put when he shorts a put on just 1 stock of the DJIA. Had he short 1 put of every dow 30, and long DIA put, then, it could be done. Not only that, DIA put could be more expensive, which would give him a net debit. DIA is 111. How many Dow 30 is over 100 in...

Eh, how did I end up on your shitlist risarb? I was willing to pay to watch you guys, come on. I am just trying to figure out who's serious and who's all talk.

Buzz and Risbarb, If you guys are really serious about the competition, then, act on it instead of throwing verbal abuses back and forth. The issue can be easily solved by going to a major commerical bank. Set up a sort of short-term trust account, fund it, and give the bank full...

why not just buy a lower strike put instead of working so hard to figure out how to hedge it with DIA put.

IB policy is to hold personal checks for 7 business days. Usually, takes two weeks to get my check clear once IB has received it. Another week to send, that's 3 weeks total wait time for me. Don't know why they'd hold your check for 21 days. That's around 3 weeks or 15 business days.

Darn it duard...you beat me to it.

Woot, first class seat to a heavy weight championship. Finally, something interesting to keep me around ET these days. Riskarb and Buzz, please, do announce to the rest of us ETers all the where, when, what, and how of this tournament. You guys could charge a $1 ticket :) I'd pay $5...

Sorry, shouldn't have used the word exotic because it can be confused with exotic options. What I meant to ask is: If I provide large enough business to brokerage firms, would they be willing to create a new product, as mentioned in my first post, that fits my needs? And if such a product...

Please, gentlemen...there are other threads on market manipulations. Let's talk about exotic options as I have outlined. Is it possible for large brokerage firms to create and sell me these exotic options? And will it be a violation of contract limits for brokerrage firms to create such...

I am talking about a position worth up to several billions. Surely, it can be worth their while. But how can they hedge if they sold me this exotic options? They would have to long around 60 million shares of QQQQ just to sell me a position of $3 billion, or they can buy 600k of regular...

Well, the purpose of contract limit is to prevent people from cornering the market. But if it's not applicable to institutions, then, what's the point of contract limit? That's why I want to know. Also, is it a well known practice for major brokerage firms to create exotic options and...
