um, yeah! Americans and, I guess, Aussies don't value education for altruistic purposes. Americans want to learn what they need to know to get the job done(or pass the test). This is too complicated to write about with drinks in my system.

LOL

Sorry, I was too busy to reply immediately with what my original post was trying to imply. The reason behind my post was a concern that you were relying on websites sites for too much information. My experience has been they have been off somewhat with their models. I don’t remember looking...

NO!

Just21, what quotes provider or software do you use? From your posts, it seams like you trade enough, and have plenty of capital, to invest in software to make things a little easier. I find most web based information to be clunky and slow, but, if it works for you that's cool.

Just21, Have you thought about selling some stock before it got near 25? Not delta neutral, but, enough to offset some downside. If your spread is long 400 deltas, maybe, sell 100 shares?

You should do the one which gives the highest P&L. Spreads between bids and ask can vary, do the math. Also, Some brokerages require a higher minimum to sell naked puts, and, no we aren't going to discuss how dumb this is, it is a reality.

Yes, now I know why metooxxs pithy

Hey Dreamer, JNPR, their real juicy, $7 stock. Your selling high priced juice, bfd.

sorry

mulriple personalities? All joking aside, how many times have you said,"Read all the books and then ask yourself, 'What do they not discuss?'" I'll rest my case.

God, I'm slow. I finally realize what this is about. Metooxx wanted to spark a debate before being prevented from registering an alias. It's been a while since somebody came along asking how to make money in options, or, a magic bullet. I try and help visitor the options forum, but...

However, you still need to watch direction, imo.

Lol, yeah. When I was on the execution side options, we had a customer who was very successful doing this, he ran a hedge fund. A non-institutional guy I know used this strategy but with a broker who held his hand. He was like 75 years old. My brother does this once in a while, I think he...

I will add that a couple of years ago a friend of mine wanted to try this exact strategy. We worked through something similar to what you have, be short the atms. Did fine for a week even in one of those nasty Nasdaq death spirals, stock was csco. Sold the atm 20 call for 2, bought stock at...

don't use leverage.

So, let me get this straight, you aren't engaging in positions consisting of only naked options. You are hedging with the end result being a position net short options? You are front spread sometimes, backspread other, maybe some sort of butterfly or conder, ratios, always looking to capture...

hmm, Do I want to go for the profit or play it straight. It looks like it will head down but not before taking out everyone's stops. Cover now. pay the .02 cents.

I am wondering why people think SSF will succeed here when they have failed in other countries.
