Jem - it appears to me that even if the universe is finely tuned - it is really only fined tuned for life as we know it right now, and right at this place in time....(lets just say human life.) Previously in the universe it was not possible for us to exist here, and in the future we might not...

Jem - as someone who is interested may I ask a couple of questions.... If the universe is so large and was created with some fine tuning - why is the universe such an inhospitable place for life as we know it, and given the size of the universe why are we so presumptuous to assume that the...

get outta town - you're kidding right......is there an emoticon for nudge nudge wink wink and hey - make sure you direct your comments to the right people - vanishing guy and I are separate..thanks. :)

Just thinking outside the box - possibly the large call purchase was arranged so that the stock was purchased in order that the calls can be purchased with a hedge attached, and hence once the deal was done the stock drops? Large call buyer is set, MM have hedge without having to worry about...

as this is chat, and I am distracting myself from the markets at present...... I agree that sucks, but at least you have a job, you have freedoms and a fairly safe society where people dont need to rule exclusively via violence. You are always free to move to those places that have more...

I did not realise there was a passing grade requirement from you.....shall I call you sir or something i'll make it easy for you - put me on your ignore list, and I will give you the reasons why..... I will probably not say anything you want to read, even if i did you would not agree...

i am just messing around..... but equating evolution, survival of the fittest etc; with fighting - totally off line. Even your ideas of productiveness and laziness is way off. Personally -the way I view it is simple - culturally, politically, socially - it all recycles itself. The dissidents...

but you are not fighting for mating rights, and survival of the fittest has nothing to do with this.....but why spoil a good story. If the US is actually changing and evolving, it seems that maybe conservatives are not suited to the new environment that it is becoming (mind you - there are...

what you are suggesting is either.... the MM with large long volatility options positions are happy to pin prices to the strike which gives them maximum time decay with little volatility....or the MM with large short volatility options positions are happy to push prices away from their strike...

what has fighting got to do with evolution?

why dont you simply wait and exploit this then? plus - are you complaining about HFT or market makers?

fwiw - my younger brother had terrible migranes until a podiatrist fixed his feet walking with inner soles. Whenever he forgets them (eg; if traveling) within a week the migranes are back.

To multiply any number by 11, add the sum of its digits and then insert it between your original numbers. "To work out 53 times 11, you'd add five plus three, so the answer is 583. (wired magazine)

not at all. if you are testing various measures to see how active you wish to be then all I am saying is that unless there is a substantial PL reason to be more rather than less active, the better option is to try and limit your trading. If it means giving up 10 points occasionally v 10 lots of...

IMHO - unless you can show that doing more trades has a substantial advantage - all other things considered equal the best option is to always go for the strategy that has less trades. This results in less decisions to mess up and less chances to over trade, lower costs, less focus required...

in simple terms - the inverse.

If you are going to 'risk $15k' per position you might want to define that a bit more precisely. Is this 15k you are prepared to lose in total. or 15k in theta or 15k in getting the option or delta wrong - are you delta hedged? or 15k in vega. Or is it 15k assuming a stress test and a...

You are either being overly paranoid, your strategy is no longer working or simply should stop using that broker. As for MM strategies - put 10 in a room you will probably get 10 different strategies. But they will still all try and get the best bid ask spreads, best hedges for their strategy...

helicopter crashes kills everyone on board and shreds movie scripts - a tragedy

I dont think its a waste.....but if one is put off by the 'spirituality' aspect of it, they had probably better be pretty good at alternative solutions. I was more wondering if there are alternatives....or maybe they are simply pretty much all one and the same thing. As for behaviour...
