The only possible reply one can make to the above is: Gee, that's one of the longest posts I've seen. Daddy's boy

Let's hope this completes this in depth analysis :p We're back to where we started - no provable answer (using human understanding) exists. daddy's boy

Mayo 367, Excellent post, couldn't agree more. As you said, the so called "negative" posts indicate that the individual concerned doesn't have a good grasp of what option trading (or any trading for that matter) is about. daddy's boy

Yes sir, ET rocks! :eek: daddy's boy

What the devil is going on here??? daddy's boy

I like Marketsurfer's posts because he creates controversy and encourages others to question everything he says and thus a heated discussion ensues. I must admit, I usually pick up something useful from the discussions, whether it be about trading or people's psychology/characters/biases. I thus...

Lol, that's funny! I guess everyone is asleep now so I can type in peace before having my lunch. Ok. I think I've finally worked it out (after a good night's sleep). Here are the possibilities re the question "is there a god?". We have two camps (there is a third, but for simplicity's sake...

Ok, you win, you found me out :(. Congrats. Daddy's boy

Ok chief. Where did I say that I was not silly? At least I don't have the arrogance in thinking I know something that I couldn't possibly know for sure. You should really think before you type, lol. Daddy's boy

Just don't mention the word "god" to zzzz :D. Daddy's boy

I've changed my mind. I think there is a hell and I've just found it. It's right here in this thread and I'm in it. Daddy's boy

Are you for real? Where did I say I'm sitting in judgement? All I said is that there is no evidence for OR against the existence of a god. However, there are people who believe fervently in a god and there are people who fervently do not believe in a god. Both sides have their reasons. However...

Chief, the word "silly" was referring to the self righteous behaviour of both sides, not their belief systems. This has now become a matter of semantics or what? The second "silly" was referring to the simplistic notion of punishment with a sentence in hell for something that can't be proven...

"Who are you to judge what is a good reason, when you have no evidence that they are wrong in their belief systems" Am I missing something here? Didn't I just say that I'm not judging anyone since there is no evidence either way (quote: "Again, it is impossible to prove or disprove the...

You're funny! You can't ignore volatility issues when you sell options and then turn around and look at volatility issues when buying options. Volatility is always an issue. Daddy's boy

??? That doesn't make any sense. The pricing models make that fairly clear, surely. For example, what about buying a simple call when iv is low. Then the next day underlying moves up, say 0.5% with no change in iv. You thus make money on your long call. And also, why on earth would you hold a...

This begs the following question: How much option knowledge/understanding, mathematical models etc. does one need to trade options successfully? Iow, does one have to be as good as Victor N :p or is it sufficient to just know, say, money management and greeks and one's own personality? Oops, I...

Ohhh, I think folks around here are quite friendly and helpful, not everything has to be sarcastic, lol. They just don't like BS of any kind and are quick to let one know. Take MTE for instance - always helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond but doesn't put up with BS. The hard thing is...

"Yes, I am implying that we are not in a position to understand the mind of God. I am not suggesting what people should believe, I am only pointing out how illogical it is for a limited being like a human being to question the reasons and motives of God." I agree. My point is that there...
