Ashland Common Stock Price Information - 7/1/2005 July 1, 2005 - The price quote for Ashland's common stock of roughly $60 is correct. The indication that our stock price is down roughly $12 per share is wrong. The NYSE agrees with our position and is attempting to correct the reporting...

Jay, Do the options get quoted differently then ? A tick on the underlying EUR contract is .0001 right? Thanks, Sam Also, the CME link would suggest otherwise right? Link

Quite puzzled about the IB quotes...especially compared to the pit options shown on the CME site -- @ .0130. However, I am also puzzled about your position. Can you show me where I am going wrong... I thought you had a 20 tick credit on the strangle -- @$250 as you say. The call is going...

Prevail, Do you have a specific price close to the strike (118) where you will hedge/cover? Or is it a case of evaluating the market on the fly? Having looked at the prices a week ago and looking now there doesn't seem to be much change (.0009x.0014 on IB with EUR at 1.1987). I guess the...

Looks like TT has won. Now we just have to wait and see whether they have a cow to milk or the industry just drifts in another direction...

Bill Gross just on Bloomberg pushing the long end and mortgage paper...

LOL... KRB (don't ask me why) :)

Is that a real question? Anyway, the purchase of MBNA by Bank America as well as the purchase of KB homes mortgage business by Countrywide...

It's possible the Chinese don't want the acquisition as much as they want the US to say no to it. This gives them a chance to point out the US doesn't walk its talk so why should they...

Brings up a couple of questions for me: 1. Election takes place overnight I believe. Consequently, you wouldn't have the shares until the next morning at which point you would have an instant margin call. 2. You'd have to short in advance of that. Would you be allowed to short that much...

amazing what people will do to deny their positions. :D

Well, The squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say -- which is OK by me as there "are" some issues. I just think a pat on the back is in order from time to time. Others may have had different experiences/losses...and I wouldn't argue with anyone who was in flames as a result.

Vote of confidence: While I agree that the "new" IB seems to hiccup more often than the "old" IB I am quite pleased with the direction that the development is taking. It may take a couple of years more, but it seems to me that IB is working towards creating a first class "integrated"...

Hi, I'm looking for opinions on the most reasonable (i.e. not cheapest but best value) prop firm deal for swing trading. Assume that the number of trades would be small 5-10/day maybe with a max around 20-25 and that we are talking vanilla equities. Considerations such as firm soundness and...

Dr. Z Why don't you start a similiar thread dedicated to NDX trading. I'm sure there would be great interest in it and it would be great to compare the products and styles of the traders -- as well as avoid overburdening this thread. Sam

Raises my hackles a bit as you can see what happens when everyone backs away...

Having a fixed range for something like this seems a bit arbitrary. It makes me think of what happened with the FTSE options at expiry as well. Lots of games...

Prevail, Just wanted to keep track of this trade -- similiar to following the SP thread by options coach. Are you still in both sides of the trade or have you made any adjustements? Is there a price at which you will adjust your positions and if so do you prefer to cover or hedge...

wasn't watching, came back, and thought it was just one bad print. Clearly not...that may create some nerves overnight. :)

Look out for report times. 5 ticks or 10 ticks becomes rather meaningless then...
