Now the Mcguy respects the president, and may even be scared of him, rather than the President scared of Mcguy. The President needs now to do the same to some Israel leaders, so that they pay attention and they stop committing crimes which hurt America's prestige and standing in the world.

I know a lot of books and "experts" state something similar, so I do not blame you. It is however not correct. For a given stock price, ATM delta and price of option are "synonymous". In other words, if I know the delta, I can tell what the price is (without knowing volatility, and time...

I am surprised by the extent of the move. I did not know we had any housing news on a Fed day. In a down move, is not true that any news would cause/justify a selloff independent of the numbers? Shortie Niederhoffer Out: Where did you get this three bar business? Is he not just a put seller?

Is June 23, Fed day? If yes, my thinking is: possible gap up at open, and a possible retreat after fed announcement if it stays up there but does not go too far before fed announcement. What do you think the market would do?

I heard... is not "I SAW with my eyes..."

I know the argument that it is about IV, and that there is no side to pick to be a winner. But let us be practical here. Which side works for you? A seller or a buyer of premium.

Could you expand on your remark, probably with examples or idea examples? Thanks.

How sure are you? and why? Is not that positive return in overall market means LOWER IV, NOT higher IV?

He is a seller of books?

If delta of ATM is constant, what is the value of that constant?

A statement with no numbers and no experience is an imagination. Option expiration day has a tendency to be flat on the vast majority of the days I have seen it. The standard deviation can be a source for easy money on expiration day as the market oscillates around a strike. Last friday...

I was right on BOTH bonds and stocks! It is very rare to see both bonds and stocks down, but it takes rare luck or talent to get it right! :cool: Do you want to know how I did it?:p

That is one of the mis-understandings people have about delta. It is not correct.

You should have told him before he read your message. :)

The markets figured the chinese government. It seems to think it is hot air at best, and lies at worst. The chinese goverment may have thought they were dealing with their own people. The cash market is king. The futures speculators fell for the chinese words last night. I expect the Chinese...

Spread does not follow the rule of SQRT(2).

I am watching the 10 year futures (ZN). Do you trade it?

Bonds are in the red. I shorted it just to taste it. I am out as I do not trade them and I book the little money I made, but bonds seem to behave nicely. I might actually start trading them. Ticks are at 1/32 of a point (32 is a power of 2). Contract is 100K. So a 1/32 is a round $15. Does...

I also strongly disagree because it could also be Up then down, or down then up! There are four cases- two were missing :)

However, the deltas of ATM and OTM are not equal. For the same move in stock, you get different absolute dollar gains. Any comments?
