sleepless nite on WFMI yesterday stock retreated another 1$ + inspite of an up market. Not looking good and my attempt to ratio is looking worse. I've put pencil to paper this am: As of 2/11 net debt to establish the Calendar was $3100 Rolled the Long May 70 to Apr for credit of...

thx:)

Hey Riskarb....sorry if this is redundent but have you posted an update on the combo's you put on prior to Feb expiration? I know how CME turned out since I've followed it ....but if possible could you summarize whether or not the strategy worked out for Feb? (in general?) tia donna

thats my feel as well....hope we are right!:D

Hey...I'm beginning to LIKE Curling:p

the market as a whole seem like watching paint dry...little up...little down...basically boring. I thought most of Feb we would get down there more than we did...wrong...now I'm thinking March we should get up there....probably wrong!! I guess thats good for our spx ic :p

IBM will be interesting. I put on an IC....my first IC on a stock. APR 75/80 Put and 85/90 call. Reason..it may go up in March and back down in April:D

i probably should have waited (for vol's to go up) to roll :cool:

coach is busy on wed's with his radio show......good points Cache!

I guess..the calendar spreads are puts (were OTM) my thinking is SHLD will be heading south april and may....more for fundamental reasons than any other. Hoping of course it stays above 120 in March...THEN down :)

One more thing on books, seminars etc. It is one thing to have the knowledge and understanding.....(there are I'm sure many good books) , it is a whole other ball game in the practice of it. Nothing beats experience, trying and failure. The best advice I've read is to do options in very small...

Sheldon Natenberg "option pricing and volatility" everyone and their mother recomends him for an understanding of how the Greeks work in the pricing. I hesitated for awhile and more recently read it, sorry I didn't read it sooner. I really liked the way he presented probabilities and his...

I have to admit I use very little...maybe no technical indicators...no stochastics at all. I like the 10 day overbought/oversold oscillators to give an indication of when we are in that territory...also eyeballing the charts and looking at coach's charts...I guess its a gut feeling that I...

I don't sell naked calls on anything..as for 9/11 I lost my job at Continental airlines a month later 10/2001 but the end of 2001 we were actually up abt 5% on the year...2002 was big down! Even in 87 when there was a 500 pt drop and more the next day...didn't get out of the market at all and at...

Did you put on your bull put side yesterday? You may be right about a run down but right now there is more pressure to the upside and time (and premium)is running out for a Mar Put credit.

Hi Mike...interesting...I'm thinking of doing an AMD put diag Mar/Apr more for fundamental reasons...is your research tech fundamental or both? thx and good luck with your trading and journal.

Eric...stay with it..you won't regret it. It took me at least 3 months to get comfortable with the platform but after 6 months I absolutely loved it and am spoiled to anything else. Its worth going over (several times) each demonstration and now that there is a "paper money" account you can...

This is what I don't understand....the IV your buying seems SOOOOmuch higher than the IV's your selling....

I'm not sure I would send a newby over to riskarbs:D
