I'm glad to see the two of you made up:p

:D :D :D may I use this....too priceless

[/B] having experiences some close calls (and puts) I would say that you definitely want to be alert at 10-15pts but it depends on several factors...how much your total credit is...time to expiration...direction/tenor/tone of the market. Someone said that options trading is an art...in that...

Chrdso I would be very interested in your spx strategy...I've noticed the same thing that often the credit for the next month really shrinks abt exp date...you might try it out...sm scale and let us know what you think...I guess the only negative is a long hard move upward and not really sure...

thats the whole problem you were a MM...we are just sheep...used to being sheared:D I take a philosophical approach and just say they live in Chicago and need to make a living...after awhile you don't even notice...sort of like paying the mob for protection.

yes except its 1370..did you want them?:p What I did yesterday (early am) was roll down my 1360's to 1340's for .25 cents and now am looking to sell 1320 or 1325's... gave up on the idea of a B-fly..will sell the 1370's if given the chance. The call's this month didn't cost much...so I will...

had to leave just after the verdict...just got back and read your quote...however Texas is not the only state that screws the little guy...Mississippi the great state for class action lawsuits with jurors in the worst rated state for education. Ultimately those judgements only make a few ppl...

In the larger scheme of things I do think. This verdict is very important. I agree with the person who said this is more important to investor confidence than Sar-Ox. At least for me it is. I thought Martha's sentance totally bogus but as an investor in US public companies I do feel these...

never beat yourself up...forget about it....

guess not...

anyone think the enron verdict will have any effect on spx?

There is a third...to consistently make a profit year after year by NOT getting greedy:p by hedging your risk and managing your trades in a businesslike manner.

Thank You...deeply appreciated...perhaps I can buy some time now:)

Max... you could be very right depending on time frame. I do think INTC is below fair value. I can't add to my position but had I not gotten in around 21 I'd certainly be licking my chops...looking for a summer bounce at least.

oh ok that makes sense...I know you were not actually down but up the 91...it was the brief hit I was alluding to but understand now thx...enjoying the journal even tho understand precious little:p

I was just thinking as I was catching up, you did say you scaled this for a 1 mil acc? So the 300k loss on a 1mil acc seems scary...at least to me? Obviously over all big positive so I assume it was calculated into your R/R overal senerio.

ryank did you put on a put spread today?

yup

filled at .65...Ryan you might try those strikes
