This statement is highly questionable. A true example of an omnivore is a bear. from: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/2062/ana.HTML "In general, bears exhibit anatomical features consistent with a carnivorous diet. The jaw joint of bears is in the same plane as the molar teeth. The...

Thanks Baron! Classy decision :cool:

Hi Baron, I couldn't agree with TheStudent more. As a long time chat regular, I hope you find a way to keep the chat going. I know we are relatively few but like stu says, chatters add to the board traffic and loyalty to ET- chatters always have an ET window open and rarely a day goes by...

I haven't seen any stats, but I would guess they have minimal heart disease. Multiple studies in humans have shown that total cholesterol under 150 results in zero incidence of heart disease.

Yep, sadly Bush followed right in Clinton's tradition of war crimes against civilians. Let us hope Obama refuses this all too well worn path.

Your theory does not fully add up. The newer, all electronic ISE charges 2.00 per cancel, .5 more than the 'legacy' CBOE. http://www.ise.com/assets//documents//OptionsExchange//legal/fee/fee_schedule.pdf

from a recent thread on same topic: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2147850#post2147850

Maybe your friend is taken with the idea of getting the dec call for .50 net debit instead of 10.50. Trading options is all about trade offs. The trade off here for the cheap dec call is the risk of the short nov call. Meaning all your possible profit from correcting guessing direction could...

TOS as well as many other brokers do not charge these fees. They are not direct pass throughs. Look at the exchanges' rule books. You will find IB charges the cancel fees according to their own, distinct logic. With IB's fees on CBOE for example, canceling and re-pricing your option order...

I don't think anyone mentioned the key difference: DTNIQ provides every single trade. IB aggregates. I don't get the bad mouthing of DTN on this thread. Being a customer for around 5 years, I have nothing but praise for them. The data is fast, accurate and complete. Further, their customer...

Wow!!!! What a spectacle of obsessive, fixated and wretched sanctimony.

Interesting that even those brave enough to admit smoking mostly do not confess benefit. I'm not defending or advocating smoking, but to say smoking has no benefit beyond satisfying addicition does not fit my experience. Tobacco/nicotine is a smart drug. Through increasing dopamine and...

For additional perspective on these volume numbers, the SPX options at the CBOE traded an average daily volume in Dec 07 of 527,456 down from 749,585 in Nov 07.

I am unable to log into chat at all today. I am using Mac OS X 10.4.11 and have tried on 2 different browsers- Safari 3.04 and Firefox 2.0.0.9. The java console on Safari gives the following log entry: basic: Referencing classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@490eb5, refcount=1 basic...

SPX went hybrid 2 days ago (9/25/07). Its apparently a watered down version of hybrid- http://www.cboe.org/publish/RegCir/RG07-097.pdf. I can discern no difference so far- spreads are still large, orders placed between posted bid and ask are still outcried and only 1 MM is allowed to stream...

While ES option spreads may be 50% smaller, its important to remember that SPX options have 2x the leverage of ES options. So, delta wise, its not that big a difference.

One last bump to say R.I.P. to this thread and its celebration of ignorance, and to highlight that the OP at long last admits to not trading SPX.

More outright wrong information, imagine that..... SPX has been setting volume records as recently as in the last month. So much for draining the moat. :D " The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), the largest options exchange in the U.S., announced the busiest trading day in its 34-year...

I don't think this has been mentioned in this thread, and yes, going more electronic will be an interesting change for SPX. From the little I have read of the new system, its a bit different from the existing CBOE hybrid. IBs marketing of additional floor presence in light of hybrid's immanent...
