depending on tax jurisdiction.... you dont generally want to issue shares - there are tax complications and its a hassle. Often the best and easiest way to do it is to lend the money to the company. However - just remember where any tax gains or losses get recognised and how they might best...

mayflies are biting, fish are rising

FWIW - best reason I have heard that I kinda could not argue against. "If your body is a temple - wouldnt you want to decorate the walls?" Too bad old temples crumble and decay and the walls sag......:(

sniffing glue, drinking martinis and thinking toxic environments are not good for the health.

revert to post #2 and #3 Unfortunately set targets are either going to just miss, miss by a mile or get you out too early ......not much you can do about it except change these, or mange the exit. Giving back a large part of profits is the trade off for being able to capture them in the first...

I had problems yesterday when using attached orders with more than one contract. They fixed it overnight, but there are still some issues.

for good measure :) lower your target by 2 ticks just to make sure.

every country has its issues, and there has been a move for everything toward the UCITS platforms so it can be passported across countries, but this is costly, you need AUM and often is not worth it as there are extra hurdles to jump across in every country. But fund structure is only part of it...

the inmates family will now probably sue for 'accidental death in custody while trying to execute him' -- doh! They need to instigate a safer form of execution.

to give a market move more meaning.....use the magic eight ball! Ultimately you will only be able to guess what is causing the changes in supply and demand, and understanding the motivations behind them, especially in the short term is going to be a head banging experience. Unless you have...

summed up in one thing. If your levels of support and resistance perform no better than random levels then you may as well just use random levels. However, if your levels show to be better guides than random levels then use them. If you draw them like him as random levels without showing...

yes. One of the massive problems without adequate resources - and even with adequate resources this will all likely be a fudge of some sort. Especially in anything that does not have some deep liquidity. It might be worth using a simple IV midpoint fudge and seeing if there is value....if not...

just as an FWIW- whenever struggling with some concept or idea I always set things to extremes to see what happens - it can be revealing. In this instance while you say delta is a function of volatility and time to expiry.....think about these scenarios with regards your original question (I...

fwiw - I read this yesterday, you have probably all seen it anyway. http://aeon.co/magazine/nature-and-cosmos/can-we-tell-if-reality-is-a-computer-simulation/

you might have to search - or ask at their forum but they should have something here. http://www.wilmott.com/fileshare.cfm?NoCookies=Yes&forumid=1

no one is sure why you would expect that :) You seem to be confusing delta and the theoretical pricing. Delta is a derivative of the change in price on the underlying only....its not the other way around. Price is made up of a number of different elements - volatility, interest rates etc...

I am assuming your 2nd option there is meant to be June???? (otherwise it makes no sense) So its a 1960 June call? If so - then things are not equal - you have different strikes. This seems perfectly normal. Is your question - despite being different strikes, and despite being different...

in laymans terms from a theoretical reasoning why - delta will increase to 1, or decrease to 0 over time based on weather or not it is ITM, OTM. Everything else being kept equal. This is simply because they have less optionality over time.....hence they either behave more like the underlying...

because one has more time until expiration. You might note, that to get the same delta AND price from a 1 month and a 1 week till expiry (same underlying) you either have to have massive volatility differences or a strike difference. (maybe a dividend but lets not go there) The alternative...

No single answer exists. This is a can of worms with lots of issues and will depend a lot on your end goal, type of fund (most 10k accounts will not invest in many fund types as they dont understand them - plus are they allowed?) Point being this is an issue that ties in with an overall business...
