this is a message board no? Why secret time all of a sudden?

ok. i'll buy that. but i think your sort of replacing atm options having the tightest bid/ask for straddles having the tightest bid ask. right?

Pretty sure its based on the eod NAV. It's definitely not like an up to the minute sort of thing.

Can u explain this please?

everything is getting clocked pretty good today!

Did he really say that? Those are all HUGE premiums over where we are right now. Like 70-80% above where we are right now after a giant run up. What was his reasoning behind those claims?

I thought a Bucket Shop was the same thing as a Trading Arcade. Is that not the case? Just thought it was a prop that charged some sort of technology fee and gave you some leverage to trade with and made money from high fees. If not, what is it?

PLace looks cool as hell.....but it's got some serious 'ain't gots'. 1. It's in the middle of nowhere in CT. Don't let anyone tell you that the commute from NYC is a breeze or is short in any way. Metro north will take you an hour min. 2. UBS is supposedly one of the more 'conservative'...

Have you seen downtown/brickell area? Theres quite a few high risers that they aren't even working on anymore. Just giant shells that they've given up on. Hve a feeling you'll be seeing either euro or south american developers coming in and scooping those up for 10-20 cents on the dollar just to...

What youre insinuating is very hard to do in an environment like that. What they are going for is a 'team' (no individuals) environment in which everyone is watching everyone else and no one can pull one of those Soc Gen rogue trader moves. The more eyes you have watching, the more checks and...

ES, you should bring a print out of this board to your interview. I would say it would tell any employer all they need to know to make a decision about you.:D

Trader monthly article says that this guy demark works exclusively as a consultant for SAC.

Thanks Art. I really enjoy your posts!

Art, in the posts, did u accidentilly skip the 13th? I was confused about which day we are up to.

How long do they break for if there is a limit up? Looks like at the end of feb, mgex is removing limits on the spot month altogether.

oh, ok. cuz you talked about the super bowl add, so i thought you meant last week.

When was it 11 points down? They were talking about this thing non-stop this week in all of the news outlets. Not just the commercial, but the fact that they are trying to take on Nike with a new sneaker. I was just confused where it traded 11 down.

http://www.news.com/8301-13577_3-9803872-36.html values facebook at $15 bil!

i think its a tiny stake (<2%) but i think i recall them paying alot for it, giving facebook some crazy valuation. i'll see if i can find it.

Wasn't that $31 bid a $12 or so premium to where YHOO was trading in the market? If YHOO's board felt the $31 is too low, why weren't they doing massive buy backs of their own shares? Sounds like some posturing for a higher bid to me. I was thinking it was a bad deal for MSFT anyway. BTW...
