    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    6 replies this morning and zero content about options Again, it is not your job to respond to every post in this thread (especially to those that arent even talking to you) nor are you this moderator of this thread. Just get on with talking about options and stop with all the meaningless...

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    A Dashing Blade was not replying to you. You don't have to reply to every single post in this thread (note I said this thread, not your thread) You are cluttering up this thread with your countless off-topic and pointless replies. Perhaps we should request this topic be moved to...

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    No, that is not correct. Yes, please request moderator rights for this thread - I'm sure the mods need a good laugh too. You keep threatening to complain to the mods like they are actually going to take your complaints seriously. Look at what you have contributed to this thread - nothing...

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    You see to be under the delusion that this is your thread. Just because you started a thread doesn't mean its "yours".

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    The only thing I am going to learn from this thread is if you are a spammer or a troll. I'm leaning towards the former but I you haven't shown your true colors yet.

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    Your thinly veiled attempt to promote your agenda is not fooling anyone. You are ignoring everything you are being told and instead moving forward with your false premises. If you were rational you would no longer ask questions here because you have already determined that you don't trust...

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    (yawn) Believe what you want. I can't tell if you have an agenda or are just dense. What is really important isnt a semantic game which is all this zero-sum issue boils down to, its how options are priced and how likely it is that you will make money with options. If you think you've...

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    You do it one step at a time: Pick an underlying product be it a stock or commodity, a strike price and an expiration date. Have person A sell it to person B. Then decide what happens to the underlying (stock or commodity price). Then compute the gain or loss for person A and person B...

    That clearly isnt working. You need to construct an example yourself and then we can show you the errors if you make a mistake. You go first.

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    Zero-sum: The sum of all profits must equal the sum of all losses Note that there is nothing in there that there has to be an equal number of winners and losers and/or that the amount each person wins or loses must be the same. The only requirement is that the total sum of all option...

    False - Show me who said that, certainly not any of the links I quoted. Read them again. [B] Look, I can lead a horse to water but I can't make you drink. If you don't understand why options are zero-sum then you shouldn't trade them because you clearly don't understand how they work...

    Iran says will strike U.S., Israel if attacked: agency

    Well usually they either explode in midair or they hit the ground and then they explode. It all depends on how they are configured.

    Iran says will strike U.S., Israel if attacked: agency

    The bombs are already made. Bush does not need an act of congress to drop bombs. He needs an act of congress to replace the dropped bombs with new ones. Do you think anyone in congress is going to vote against replenishing the military (leaving us vulnerable to attack)? The dems walk a...

    According to my definition of zero-sum, both are zero-sum. What is your definition of zero-sum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum http://www.smartoptionsreport.com/glossary/zerosumgame.html http://www.investopedia.com/terms/z/zero-sumgame.asp

    Iran says will strike U.S., Israel if attacked: agency

    Bush does not require any approval to conduct military action. Plenty of stealth bombers are sitting around not being used. Not every military action requires ground troops.
