I like the analogies. Thanks. Water is a source/sign of life, and innate cash borrows from it its liquid attribute. Even in its solid dry form, it makes a man enjoy the drinks that his cash can buy. So, the smoke may lead to something useful after all-- no blames if one were to want to find...

1. "?" was a question, which meant I did not understand what your question was from what you wrote. 2. Behind smoke there is always fire. You disagree?

I thought you had something else/interesting to share.

If you are a reader who agrees with 2nd sentence in above statement, could you give us your proof/argument behind your agreement? If you disagree your input would be appreciated even more!

That was one of the initial reasons I raised the questions earlier in this thread (review it). In addition to delta> 0.5, saying ATMF delta is equal to 0.5 is equivalent to saying price of option is zero. A price of an ATMF call option is positive (nonnegative) is equivalent to saying its delta...

Thanks for all the info. That number is right when I got sucked! Since you seem to be an expert in bonds, could you help on this: I noticed that they have influenced currencies today. EUR/USD was rising, and it turned down. Stocks are green now, and they also seem to have moved down earlier...

When chinese came with their bluff last week, I did a quick analysis at the time, and it said that TLT sellers were at 99.80 area. I wonder if it is still valid.

I made a stupid mistake today: I shorted bonds at 121'285. It is refusing to move down so I can get out. I did the trade just for a quick profit, but the damn thing moved straight up immediately after I made my trade. By the time I prepared the stop loss/take profit orders, it was at 122'05...

Reading the stats above and some comments on the other thread, corrupted my head and cost me money. How does one make sure not to become the majority opinion after reading the majority opinion?

Would it be ok to ask how you use them, particularly in connection with other markets such as equities?

I thought to start this thread to revisit the topic of delta. Many incorrect things are written about delta, and a number of insights reside in people's mind but are not written down. Readers who have questions/comments/insignts related to delta can ask them here. If you came across good...

Please feel free to post your derivations. I think you will get credit for the derivations. The question was: "If you make the derivative with respect to stock price, does anything come up?"

Do you know the proverb: "A dog that barks does not bite"?

Were the economic numbers also lies? 8 years later, and there are still people who not understand it even in hindsight.

Did you give that advice to yourself? Why do you think Iran is not backing off?
