i think it is not too good to put things like "this is garbage" or "almost garbage". Why not ask :- "Was this post useful to you? " (Yes/No)* * Got the idea from amazon.com Or instead of rating a specific post, why not rate the a particular thread ? And incorporate this rating in the...

INTC has nice spread most of the time

'Anything truly interesting in business - or life - is a gamble. The trick is not to think you are going to win all the time. What makes a winner is winning more times than losing. There are times of caution, of hedging your bets, but those whose whole life is based on caution never, in my...

If the market makes new low, your Long Term options will also appreciate, making your profit lower then a outright put position. This is not the best strategy for maximum profit although the risk is definately lower then an outright put. If you are certain that the stock is making new low...

As a general rule, consider option price as a guage for the spread. For example a $500 option will often get a $20++ spread while a $200 option somewhere near $10. Actively traded option can also has smaller spread, it really depends on the option As option approach expiry, options price gets...
