Coach, From time to time I hear that it's the S&P futures that control the cash index (SPX) and when hedge funds want to move SPX they manipulate the futures. Would you be able to shed some light on this topic? More specifically, if it's the futures that dictate the cash index's behavior...

Coach, I revisited at the BANANA posts. Looks like you have no APR call spreads?

Thanks, that's very helpful. This might be interesting: APR 1175/1200/1375/1400 IC is $0.45 MAY 1175/1200/1375/1400 IC is $2.10 The IC in MAY gives almost 5 times more credit than the same IC in APR.... BUT the probabilities for MAY are not 5x higher than APR. So it seems the MAY...

Good catch, meant to say APR spreads are too close to the money. You really think if the Fed says we're done with rate hikes we can hit 1375 by May exp? (I think maybe 1350, but 1375 is a stretch...)

Coach (and every one else too!), I'm looking at a MAY 1175/1200/1375/1400 condor for $2.25 I know it's two months out but MAR spreads are too close to the money. Any thoughts?

What strikes are you looking at (call and put)?

Don't you want to wait till Bernanke's speech?

Coach, any call spreads on for Apr? How about 1355/1365?

Do you have kids (I promise I'll get back to SPX spreads later)....

Coach, You're Jewish, part-Cuban, have Budwick as a last name, are married to a Panamanian, used to speak Japanese.... awesome!

What is the Ansbacher Index saying about hte market right now?

This is very interesting. Please explain how their thinking is very dfferent from yours.

That's a really nice skyline! Costa Rica is nice too. By the way, is anyone suspicious of this SPX breakout?

You will lose money.

SPX at MAR exp. Any guesses?

Right shoulder forming.....

You're right, a false sense of entitlement cuts across races and in general is a terrible quality... but most annoying when exhibited by the ruling class. When I see a white person whining about not getting a fair break in America, I cringe.

I often chuckle to myself when I occasionally come across individuals, usually right wingers, who have an overblown sense of entitlement. I worked with a guy (he was a mail peon) who bitched about all the foreigners with their green cards, taking away precious jobs, while his great, great...

Lower highs, lower lows,... looks like the start of an intermediate term downtrend...
