    dual otm flies?

    that makes sense because calendar is long vega while flies are short. So usually the iv moves in your favor (increase iv when underly is falling and lower iv when rallies). thx

    China builts world's longest bridge

    Even though this is a major disaster, japan was lucky because the epicenter was not in tokyo but 230 miles away. If it was close to tokyo, the deathtoll would be in the hundreds of thousands to millions. I believe the deadliest earthquake in history was the 1976 tangshan china, it was a back...

    dual otm flies?

    Why not if I close the position when the otm fly becomes atm? Ate you talking about this specific example? Change it to 1200/1250/1300 max profit is at exp but it becomes profitable on day 1 i believe if underly moves to 1250

    dual otm flies?

    Lets say the es is at 1300 and i am expecting a hit at either 1350 or 1250. What's a good r/r combo to open? Is there something better and more elegant than opening 2x otm flies at either end? 1345/1350/1355 and 1245/1250/1255

    Police arrest 16 in twisted gang rape of 11-year-old girl in Texas

    We call them wolf packs here, a bunch of cowardly black gangbangers running around beating up grandmas and immigrants, they operate like piranhas, one would knock the victim down first, then the rest all jump in kicking/beating the victim hiding behind their numbers, and usually a girl will be...

    Top colleges make little difference to future income

    It really depends on what you are studying. For the bullshit liberal arts crap it doesnt make a difference, for science(comp sci, ee, etc..) it doesnt make much difference either unless you want to have an academic career in the universities then it matters. For mba, it's the only thing...

    Libyan rebels: I have not had any training, but I have seen plenty of action movies.

    America would spend tens of billions to force a war on a foreign country in the name of spreading freedom. Yet when freedom literally comes knocking on our front door, we hide behind carefully phrased political statements and do nothing. At least airdrop a few crates of weapons to those...

    I am not sure what you are talking about here, flex is for gui development as mentioned. Middle tier and processing are still java/c++. In term of performance for the gui, we did extensive testing and flex datagrid is faster than java swing (and blows gwt out the water) Keep in mind also that's...

    Saudi Arabia king offers $150BN for facebook

    Even though this is a joke, I think the recent events proved social media specifically facebook is a lot more powerful than bombs and armies in this day and age. I would be very surprised if the intelligence communities around the world isnt having some sort of discussion on how to...

    It all comes down to earn enough premium before the blackswan big loss. And/or having the ability to predict an upcoming vol gap and stay on the sideline for that period. Not sure what else can be said about this topic. So howard either you get very lucky, or you can predict the...

    once again you guys are bitching about stuff the ipad was never intended for. It's lightweight easy to use tablet for browsing, email, movie/video, and some fun apps. Which satisfies the vast majority of the general populace computer needs. The only thing that drives me nuts is the lack of...
