also another benefit to buyer a higher delta (less otm) option is that the commission costs are dramatically reduced. eoption is the cheapest out there for buying large size at once so unless you're using them or have another special deal buying thousands of options at 0.05 would cost a...

the market should open up for retail/smaller institutional traders as more of it goes electronic/exchange traded and cleared. in the meantime there's no getting around needing an ISDA agreement, dealing w/ counterparties who will dick you around on price (like michael burry as chronicled in the...

bloomberg, wsj, reuters - i have about 20 blogs in an rss feed and subscribe to the dealbook email (morning and afternoon email w/ great curation of links) one of the can't miss blogs is abnormal returns - been reading it for years bottom line if all you did was watch price and read...

nazzdack - lol re the true spirits he was likely under the influence of - not for nothing but this actually happened a while ago - a trader was drunk and there was a huge story about it - think he was trading CL or BRENT anways - as another posted mentioned i'm very curious as to how they...

i would strongly suggest NOT doing this - commodities have upside tail risk as opposed to downside for equities - if you were short corn calls during the late 80's - esp the "drought of 1988" you put the suicide hotline on speed dial can you imagine being short calls and price going locked...

nobody knows the prob of blowing up - only that the number is above 0 and is much higher if you use margin never leaving your computer when you're in a trade means nothing b/c the stock could blow through your stop, the internet connection/power could go out, broker go down, etc.

i think you mean support not resistance - correct me if i'm wrong there is twin support of the 20 and 50 dma right there at ~20.5 so i wouldn't be shorting now - either wait for a move back up to the mid twenties or short below 20 re buying the FB NOV 16 PUT - you know (not directed to...

first of all the why doesn't matter - your clearing firm pays you on price alone with that being said here are a couple of explanations... 1. demand destruction (refineries closed, airlines grounded, no one traveling via car to work, etc) 2. supplies at/near historic highs 3...

looks like the report will come out on time after all all of the data has already been collected

here's my $0.02 USD we can't do anything about the market being closed other than talk about it on ET after 9/11 the market was closed and reopened down big so the shorts can't complain about that i won't even mention the fact that shorts and longs are always at risk of some black swan...

hoodooman has the right idea. there were stories of entrepreneurs buying portable generators for $500 in other states near LA and selling them for $10,000 in LA. they would buy like 10 generators and put them on the back of a pickup and just drive down the devastated areas and pull over to...

the analytics the ease of use - believe me you don't want a complicated platform to enter/manage/exit trades the great customer service - i'm impressed it's still good even after the buyout

it's also free on NFLX

just get a TDA account (formerly TOS) and be done w/ it. you don't even has to keep a lot (or any) money there - you can use it for analytics and use ib or another broker for execution.

let me save you the trouble - stay w/ tos - stockcharts.com has nothing tos doesn't have
