And where did Mr Hill get his Medical degree? There is no correlation between s.e.x. and trading.. N.O.N.E. Investing...trading is very cerebral, quantitative and analytical. Sex is hormonal driven...not cerebral. He may have gotten the idea from anecdotal stories of prize fighters who...

I'm being a "good" girl this month my short call is 1340 I think Heathers is 1320...so far she is closest to the edge:eek:

You and Heather are living a little on the edge with your call shorts:cool: it will be a race between Theta and Mo....hoping theta wins:p

Astute observations Grob:) a little OT but my husband worked in the business world for many years with some women who were good others not...one complaint he had was that women were very quick to cover their rear in the event of problems and quick to blame others rather than just work on the...

everyone does feel exposed...some more than others:eek: as momoney said coach is out today so you might want to bump your question when he gets back. I don't trade the oex however we did have a discussion which you might have read that a "good" IC will be beyond the straddle ATM (add both the...

I wouldn't bother with it anymore because Brownco has been taken over by e-trade and if you think brownco wasn't responsive it will only get worse. The best thing is to switch to a broker that specializes in options OX TOS IB. I have TOS and in a margin account when my cash was negative the...

did you check it this pm?

I'm sorry:( just not happy coach going prop....our free lunch may be gone:eek: when he decides he's too busy to coach! Where do us leaches go......god forbid we actually pay for good info and learning:p BTW whats up with optiontradingcoach on yahoo?

although I've sold some naked puts on stocks I don't mind owning I've also found that if you go a little otm say 10 or 15pts it only cost .05 or.10 for the spread thus your savings in margin makes the spread a no brainer. As McMillian says..."the spread is NEVER the worse choice:)"

interesting that your gamma is so much higher than mine (compared to the other greeks) why?

you are right and thats why I like the calendar...I will hopefully be able to roll a couple of times before it goes down significantly

Vol on CME has really exploded...from 35% to 40% on the 380's (I guess thats 500 bp)? yesterday bought stock sold call at 380 then early this am bought stock sold call at 390...thought I'd wait before selling the put...however it seems the mkt thinks earnings are going to be good so sold 1 390...

my favorite blond joke...what do you call a redhead between two blonds???....an interpreter:D:D so as an interpreter...Heather WAS looking to do a spx spread but actually did a RUT spread...then had a little too much wine with lunch:eek:

edit...come to think of it THAT would be interesting...hummmmmm

oops didn't do the reverse :eek: missed typed I sold feb at 1.30 and bought May ...so not so interesting:p

There seems to be a great deal more liquidity but the MM's are as @#$% as always:eek: sometimes a fill comes easily and other times forget it.

Actually Heather this is not just an spx forum...coach initially said he might do RUT/OEX etc ...if its any comfort at all I NEVER feel totally confident when I put on a trade...its only a few days later when I start to gain confidence in the position. The main thing is to manage your risk and...

I've added a RMBS Feb/May put cal. Have history with this @#%& so it will be an interesting ride. 10 contracts Feb 30 Put IV 92.93 +1.30 May 30 Put IV 99.23 -4.80 Delta -59 (should have ratioed to be more delta neutral?) Gamma -19 Theta +22 Vega +39 these are all expressed in $$ terms

thx VP...I like the idea of multi strikes and will look at doing that when I get a better feel...for what ever reason I'm calenderizing several spreads lately:) I'll look to close before Feb 8 but not sure it will matter that much in terms of profit (if earnings are up and it closes above 72,5...

pardon the dumb question but I'm assuming 1%=100bp?tia
