What do you mean by trial ballons? Do you have anything tha shows they've been buying all the way up from 80 like you indicated earlier and why would they be stepping in at these levels ( over 80 up to 110 ) ???

In a fairly quick web search I found a lot of stuff about how the govt halted adding to the reserves in 2006 but nothing in 2007 or 2008 which says they've been buyers up at these prices.

Do you have a link to a news story detailing their stepping in ? Thanks in advance!

I dont think AD needed the money on any case he takes. LOL

Why in the world would W get involved with bailing out a Dem. Libby was the chosen fall guy to protect Rove and Cheney. Spitzer has nothing to do with W. You cant be that dumb can you?

When was the last time the govt was in buying crude for the SPD ?

ROTFLMAO Commie I say again you are a true wordsmith.

quit crying and dont read them I predict the equity market will open at 9:30 am and close at 4pm east coast time. I stand by my predictions

They're nice guys and they do a good job for us. The cost of executions has fallen so much makes me think about all the fat that was in those costs back years ago. My office is in the Philly Exchange building and I chat it up with some floor brokers when I see them and they all tell me how...

Chi, My apologies for being a pest here. I am not riskfree for the record. We do a lot of business on the CBOE do you know the guys from X-FA ? they fill our paper there.

h h you make an excellent point. You'll notice that not only are there far fewer MM's on the equity options floors these days, but the ones that are there are much younger then in times past. Obviously they come at a cheaper price then an experienced MM, then again they’re not asked to manage...

Sorry fella, but it was you who showed up here with the attitude, smugness and thinly veiled insults. As for me, I just picked up with it and encouraged you to continue with them for the purely selfish reason of entertainment. I guess my sarcasm went unrecognized. I am not a former...

“I am a former sanitation worker for the county” I live on a pension and I come here to learn options from the brilliant minds of the anonymous posters. Some of whom use this forum as an outlet for their frustrations in the real world and to stroke their ego while taking back handed slaps at...

Commie it would appear that your witt and sarcasm went un-noticed by riskfree who, shockingly, was all consumed in trying to take a jab at you while stroking his ego yet again. It, on the other hand, did not go un-noticed and thanks for the chuckle! You are a master wordsmith and your...

You can make any inference about me you like, it makes no difference to me. You can continue to ride your high horsy and take back handed jabs at me and others all you like, while pretending you’re not here for the purposes of insulting people and stroking your own ego. Again, since you...

switze, I dont think its his name as much as its his attitude, either way its very entertaining.

I don’t know to what degree riskfree is a fraud or not nor does it even matter. IMO his only objective here is to feed his ego, obviously he’s not realizing that satisfaction anywhere else in the non-internet world. Hey, that’s okay too, it’s the internet for god’s sake, there are...

I always find these ego threads entertaining, thanks people!

"A put is a call and a call is a put" sounds like the old quote from Roy Neff of Cooper Neff which was a very large options firm who was eventually bought by BNP. To address the question: Riskfree makes a good point about call put parity in that the puts and calls of the same strike will...

Not sure how you would price that sort of option. In my years even trading OTC exotics there is no such option other then trading the underlying. My office is right in the Philly Exchange building and I talk with many of my ex mates who are still on the floor and not a word from them or the...
