    A crack just emerged in the financial markets: The NY Fed spends $53 billion to rescue the overnight

    I suspect the difference is in this case vs 2007 is that the current deficit is spread over a large number of banks. It is not as if only 1 or 2 banks are on the hook for the entire $53 billion.

    A lot of information is being left out here. 1. I am sure there is more detailed info on where the shortages are coming from 2. Federal Reserve Loans are usually just overnight. Basics Total Reserves - Required Reserves = Excess Reserves. Usually Banks trade between themselves overnight in...

    Up 8,000% for the week

    What you say is true. However, the real reason I stayed in my positions is that I think that Monday is going to be a good day from the open. Either something positive will transpire or no change. There is a positive basis to the open on Monday - ceteris paribus. I am at or over the money...

    Up 8,000% for the week

    Believe what you like. If you look at some of my previous threads I think I mentioned trading GS. There were lots of other things that I said. But the GS trades were there and I took them. Could I do it again. Maybe not. But in the moment I did what I did and hopefully I will get out...

    Up 8,000% for the week

    I do want to address this - "I actually have no documented strategy. Just lucky." I have traded options for over 20 years. I should have been more diligent and recorded all kinds of data but I did not. I just now look at a market and get a hunch. No one wants to hear that. But if you have...

    Up 8,000% for the week

    The only option I do is GS. It was actually since Thursday before last. I did hold several large position overnight. At the end it was hard to find where to place all the trades. I go for 1 week out to the expiration week. More on the first and less on the other. This has only happen...

    Up 8,000% for the week

    I had a pretty good week. I did GS options and got about 80x on my initial investment of $5,000. I was doing a lot of swing trades. Perhaps 10 - 15 trades a day. I actually have no documented strategy. Just lucky. Anyone else have a good week. FYI - Markets go up and Down. I love...

    Who is writing 1 or 2 or 3 unit option contracts?

    Thanks everyone. I was not intending to try and use the data in any way. Just curious. Who is playing in the puddles? I am going to check out time and sales for options on other stocks on Monday just to see how common the practice is. My underlying stock was GS. I don't usually look at...

    Who is writing 1 or 2 or 3 unit option contracts?

    I have had many fills with a group of smaller contracts - example 10 gets filled 5 3 2 11. I also recently looked at some time and sales data and was surprised by all the 1's and 2's and 3's. Who are doing all these little contracts? What are the motives?

    No human being would want to live there. A ‘disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess’.

    I stand corrected. They have a lot of rats in Baltimore per square mile but not as many rats as in New York. DemocRATS = RATS

    No human being would want to live there. A ‘disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess’.

    Wherever you find large concentrations of African Americans you find the same living conditions. It is genetic. It is how they lived in Africa for thousands of years. It is the prevalent mode of life in Africa today. When left to their own devices things tend toward disarray.
