Not to sound mean or anything, but these spreads aren't doing very good at all. Of course, you know you can't win all the time so I'm sure not a big shock or anything. It just seems like there are always people trying to sell spreads who act like it is some super advantage strategy, but then...

Most likely there would be 100s if not 1000s of individual orders in place that would get filled before yours would. Surely some people have orders for $120, $115, $110, $105, etc, etc. and remember that even if you order say 20,000 shares, and they aren't offering to buy that many and...

It shows that expiration date because Yahoo isn't a very detailed place to look for options. Actually, I think 1 is a weekly and another is a quarterly. I looked at the chain in my optionsXpress account and it shows it much better. I am at work here and lunch is about over so I can't show...

No, what he means from the Yahoo chain is like this: 57.00 QQQQ110304C00057000 0.88 0.08 0.86 0.88 4,368 7,427 57.00 QQQQ110319C00057000 1.25 0.11 1.26 1.27 3,999 79,634 57.00 QQQQ110331C00057000 1.53 0.09 1.51 1.52 1,378 8,270 The answer I think is that 2 of them are the 'weekly'...

Here is a video from Feb 27, 2009 with the dow around 7,000: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1047685901&play=1 This gentleman is saying cash and Tbills are the best way to go and valuations in the market aren't low enough. He does say eventually there could be a sharp rebound, but...

The screener at FinViz can do alot of what you are looking for at least. I think it is mostly based on daily numbers, but you could at least start with this. Here is the link: http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=171&ft=3 It can show stocks at different points above (or below) 20 Day MA...

Of course, I think you are generally correct. I'm not so sure (not having been there) about southern states like Georgia, South Carolina, etc. But, yes, that is more the pattern in the U.S. as well. Just pointing out that Vancouver demographics are much different from Canada as a whole, plus...

Yeah, actually according to Wikipedia for Vancouver, "In 1981, less than 7% of the population belonged to a visible minority group. By 2008, this proportion had grown to 51%." Maverick's numbers are more Canada in general - the urban areas have much higher minority rates (just to state...

Wowsers - Looking at Condos in Vancouver - I was looking near the University of B.C. admittedly - many $600K+++ for 2/2 1400 SQ Ft. - $400K+ for 1/1 800 SQ Ft. Also they all seemed to have $150-$300/month maintenance at least. With the housing issues in the U.S., you can get a mini mansion...

People in the Phoenix are who have solid jobs like doctors, lawyers, etc. are usually the ones who move to Scottsdale (especially when the house prices were more at their peak.). Scottsdale is very much older, professional people (along with the newer rich of course in Paradise Valley, etc.)...

San Diego is hicksville? I really question for these cities in Canada, if it is really so great to live in cold weather locations with expensive real estate. Actually sounds a bit opposite of what they should be looking for. I don't know about the Australia locations - I imagine them to...

These kind of lists are ridiculous IMO! These are all places to live for "Metros" IMO if you know what I mean. I would far rather live on a ranch in Texas (even "only" 10 acres, lol) then in any of these places. I would even rather live in a TX suburb and be within range of some openness...

But Profit taking, and rolling up the rest of the calls would have been good, no? :) JJacksET4

newguy, I don't understand why you say you don't trust ivolatility.com - what is wrong the numbers you are showing for the examples? I think ivolatility is probably quite accurate and certainly good enough for most use. Otherwise, the other options I could think of would be OptionsXpress...

Actually one thing I have seen that Facebook and Twitter have that even Goog. Amzn, Ebay, etc. dont' have and really never have is this: I have seen many companies now in their advertisements put the Facebook "Like Me" and Twitter "Follow Me" things in their ads. For example, you might see a...

The following prices exist around 11:40 Pacific time: AAPL down 7.13 CF down 9.74 POT down 6.33 PCLN down 5.18 NFLX down 3.95 Yet dow up about 38-40, S&P down around 1 point only. If these stocks (AAPL, etc) come back Tuesday and next week, the markets would almost certainly follow...

They have to pay even if they just go to North Dakota? :) Basically, it's the same thing. Are hockey players and teams exempt considering they are always going back and forth from Canada to the U.S., etc. JJacksET4

IntradayBill, I am wondering if I am thinking what you are thinking - that the large OI on the puts means the MM are trying to hold SPY up at least until Feb expiration (so that those puts they sold to retail all expire worthless) - then maybe they will let it go down? Is that the general...

I'll try help with a few of these: Stock at $140+, but call prices of $130. This is perfectly normal - these are called In the Money or ITM options. You didn't state how long of a term these options are. Someone may want to purchase these because they can make money as the stock continues to...

Really, we dropped 1,000+ points during the uncertainty? I have seen the markets drop more because of uncertainty over the exact second that Greenspan was going to speak compared to what happened in Eygpt. Again at many points, ANY outcome in Eygpt would have caused at least a short/mid...
