there are so many things wrong with this statement. 1) If you buy the stock at $100, your max at risk is $100 and the stock needs to goto $0 for you to lose it all. If you sell otm spread/ic say at $7 credit and max risk of $100. Yes your max loss remains the same as the stock except now...

IPAD2 ANNOUNCED, MARCH 11 RELEASE. ANOTHER WINNER FOR APPLE.

Is this the risk analysis? So lets say you write spread or completes the ic, now the underlying moves against you, you close the combo as a market order when it has a 20% of max loss? Nevermind the blackswan from may last year, what will happen to your positions if we have another month...

howard, atticus is one of the few pros on this forum who knows options in his sleep, most of us never did this for a living. I am curious too about those questions, basically all rolls into how you manage risk when sh*t hits the fan. And he actually spoke about option in plain english this...

You guys are right, i was wrong. Fidelity defaults a sell to open order to margin which gets blocked for ira, but there is a checkbox that let you switch the order to cash, then i was able to write cashed covered puts :) Never knew it was there! Good stuff!

No i am not, you cannot get margin for ira, so how do you write naked contracts genius? show me a broker that let you short in your ira and i will eat my words. And fidelity is just fine for those monthly trades, i actually like their option page, fast and shows all the greeks/iv in 1 shot.

To the OP, are you fucking kidding me, did you just roll out of a rock yesterday? That's the same for every commodity etf/contract. If we are at a panic level where redemption for physical is a reality, then it's already game over. Most will not get anything. Gold, silver, base metal, wheat...

Take it easy on howard guys, criticize his trade plans but leave the treadmill out of it. I mean it's GENIUS putting a $20 plastic on top of a treadmill and sell it for $500, i bet you all wish you thought of it. you cant just say that, it really depends on the situation. Also selling...

In IRA, you cannot write contracts even if it's cash covered, the most they will let you do is long spreads and that requires you to sign the agreement in blood and hand over your firstborn to fidelity... So that's another reason to write covered calls instead of cash covered puts - because...

Doesnt matter how stupid it is. twitter along with facebook and google has complete monopoly over the 3 pillars of the inter web. People use google to search, use facebook to connect, and twitter to get real time chat. It's part of human society from this point onward. So yeah the...

yes

Joe, Who the fuck pissed in your cereal this morning? why did you close the mobile gaming thread and delete all the posts. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=214569 It wasnt a discussion about penny stocks, so what if a few were motioned. Mobile platform is the...

Japan is an afterthought. It's not worth discussing anymore.

I like OP's name...MathAndLogic. Anyway china also benefited from its export/outsource with the US, so pot meet kettle. And chinese knew exactly what the US is doing. I know many business owners in china, and they joke with me all the time about how devilish americans are - they make the...

just let the man trade... Enjoy reading neke's journal. Scrolling through pages of crap to find neke's post, not so much.

Was wondering who in their right mind will spend 3 pages arguing about the moral ethics of linking a picture on the inter web. So i googled howard cohodas and it turns out howard is quite old. So this is kind interesting, you have a 70(?) yearold just starting to learn about option trading...

That's an 8.0 earthquake in the middle of major cities with a population of 81million, it then caused massive landslides that further worsen the situation. No city in the world can withstand those forces without suffering significant casualties you stupid. This post has been moderated.
