Well, its not actually like we go down every year on that month, but I want to bet on it .That is the last five September percentage changes -9.1% 2008 3.6% 2009 8.8% 2010 -7.2% 2011 2.4% 2012

Hi all I am thinking of putting on a weekly vertical spread, based on a research that shows september as the worst month for stock investors. Its the 160/155 debit spread. The price of the sep27'13 160 put implies that we need roughly 3.35 percent down move in the underlying to breakeven. Can...

Lol salesforce.com is 5.83(13.36%).Better than expected earnings ? Did you trade it ?

OVTI is high beta stock so that move today is not so big at all (considering the tension in the market)(VIX).Nasdaq drops the most besides. I think these movements yesterday and today also hat to do with earnings (fund managers, big traders etc. making their bets). Big volume today like yesterday.

Prior to expiration is where you get the most profit from time decay of your middle strike short options assuming they are atm. Thats what you can do, buying to close your shorts, but it doesn't make any sense. If you feel the market rallies, then yes, you should buy back your shorts. Otherwise...

you said absolutely nothing...

vxx is etn consisting of short term futures, september and october now and vxz is medium term with more futures in the weighing

you can short vix futures, the front month may be

this time could be a positive black swan with the vix going some points up, doesn't matter, the iv curve will smile at you ;)

Not at all, if you know for sure what is going on with your underlying and the people minds.'' No single trade should make or break your account.'' - I agree.

We had an 8 percent down move on facebook today, atticus. It could have been to the upside. Volatility can come any time, the past is nothing, but illusion.

say something that is worth. enough bullshit lessons money management.... position size management.... not relevant for a retail with 10k account who wants to make some good money

Yes I know they are a nickel, FB can make 5 to 8 procent move in one day, since the ipo there were enough such days. Thats what I want. I really fucked up with that positions, 50 long 33/100 short 35/ 50 long 37, took all my margin.

Hi guys I have an 33/35/37 jul20 fly on FB, hoping to make some money this week. Whats the best way to take my money off if the stock get to 35 until expiration i.e. by the end of this week. I am with IB. Would appreciate any comments. Thanks

sold the puts, now I am bullish for at least monday, got calls on spy perhaps too early... jul138 calls bought for a total debit of 1,610, avg price 0.537

FB should hold steady while the market falls or at least reverse at the end of the session today, the kind of play I wanted. Got otm puts on spy and a jul call butterfly on fb 33-35-37

the premiums are quite high especially in june, not so much in july so if the stock starts to move up, the 10 HV should fall and the front month gamma holders will take the premiums off

I am stuck now with that stock for a while, getting over 30 again, right

?

I hope that will be me... :)
