My point exactly. Why bother with the clash of egos between you and he?

Great I cant wait to read your trade log which results from the clash of egos on this thread.

Coach, I understand what OTC options are and way back in the late 1980's and very early 1990's made prices on an otc currency options desk. I realize back then even what was an exotic is not nearly as sophisticated as what is out there now. Point being the arguing about this on an...

Couple of pompous jackasses going at it on an internet forum about something they will not and cannot ever trade. “getcha popcorn”

I agree Bogan. The problem is that this is the internet. Its a place where the people who believe they deserve the respect they crave and dont get it in the real world come to flex their anonymous internet muscles and pretend to be what they wish they were in real life. See this current fool...

No offense but there is no way to take those things into account, this mornings opening is a perfect example. Options are deivative products, their price is dependent on the price of the underlying vehicle and the markets are very efficient, granted the are other variables such as implied...

Sorry, you're right I should have stats handy on backing that up if I am going to post it and I dont. My apologies I try to keep it real. I believe there have been several studies on both straddles and strangles for earnings plays and if I recall correctly they concluded that the buy side over...

You're making an assumption that you know something that the market does not when you buy out of the money options for earnings plays. In general straight buying of out of the money options for earnings historically has been a loser.

"large" is a relative term, what you consider large I am sure the market would not notice in the majority of stocks

You're doing both in reality. Some bigger firms will sell the BOX to raise short term capital in a big jam.

MTE has wrapped it up correctly. Doing a box, if you can get it on for fair value ( fair value in this case is no mystery ) is simply lending or borrowing money from the market.

You wont see a "local" trade with another MM in almost any pit in the world, not directly at least. Virtually all MM's will not cross the bid offer spread and give up the theoretical edge unless they're realyl jammed up.

The paranoia is entertaining. IB does not care haow much you make and they dont front run orders. You get NBBO regardless.

When I was on the floor as a local my company was called Dark Star Trading.... for good reason

Nice pop in this pig today time to wack it

The bid/ask spread in hundreds of books is a penny or 4 much of the time.

the FED? The Federal Reserve is not the United States Govt... Nor does the US Gov have the ability to suspend mortgage contracts. This is laughable

Well said... they seek the attention they feel they deserve in the real world and dont get
