That's an interesing point, but in the end, everything carries market risk. The only way to be completely market neutral is to be dead. Even if you have no money, no assets, and no debt, you are still exposed to market risk (although you would be almost dead...)

I don't think you will miss too big a move in stocks in the next few months, to the upside or the downside. If you'd like pick a few DOW stocks that pay high dividends and buy them. If I were in your position, I would probably buy US savings bonds in the amount of $30,000 (I think that's the...

I couldn't have said it better.

qdz, who is keeping you from working for one of the large investors?

Maybe in the future Islam has taken over the world and he doesn't want the blood of one of his heroes on his hands.

After reading qdz's latest posts, I was about to regret what I said about letting him live earlier. But I'm not quite there yet. As to socialist shithole, what do you think the US is on the fast lane to becoming? But that's really a topic for chit-chat.

I have observed that kind of behavior a lot. But it is pretty obvious, even if you don't know the people behind it: If the quote is 1.10 x 1.20 and without a move in the underlying or futures someone suddely bids 1.20 for 200 contracts on an exchange other than where the 100 are being offered...

Why not let him live? I think most of what he says is wrong and irrelevant, but I have no problem deciding that for myself. I wouldn't want a moderator to assist me in the decision process. There is a price to be paid for freedom of speech, and qdz's posts are part of that price.

I take it you are not one of those people who cannot sleep at night unless the balance in their checking account is less than $1000 and all their credit cards are maxed out. Shame on you! As a patriotic American it is your duty to be a good consumer! And you should also have a few dozen...

Plus they probably want to eliminate off-floor scalping of any kind. Again, someone should point out to the US options mafia that there will not be much profit left for anyone, especially the exchanges, if all that is left are market makers and institutional hedgers.

This is NOT IB's fault. Don't you see? IB has always offered traders a good deal because they have to compete. The reason why the options exchanges are able to bring bs like this upon us is that they obviously don't have any competition. And they don't have any competition because they are...

Am I to understand that you actually know most of your posts are stupid?

Interesting. I am eager to read what def has to say about all this.

Lots of things are illegal. Lots of things are unconstitutional. If there was a way to enforce the US constitution and eliminate all laws and government practices that violate the constitution, this would truly be a great country and "the land of the free". Unfortunately, this is the real...

I second that. Moderator?

Def, as always I believe I speak for all (except the obvious morons) when I thank you for your truly invaluable support. I noticed as well that the communique did not mention "modification" only "cancellation". If that is true, I don't think anyone here will have aproblem with the new fees...

I second that.

The real question is: How can we replace the specialist by a computer program, which would be objective, fair, and not greedy? I'm thinking Why can't a computer provide price improvement? Here are two ideas. Please feel free to comment. Method 1: There is only one print every 15...

Are you saying it's a disservice to America NOT to curtail the right to free speech?

Of course you can make money going long only. You can also buy puts in a cash account, can't you? You should even be able to do option spreads, but commissions would probably make it very difficult.
