The bombing in Jordan-I think that's where it was- is probably the reason. Based on the fact that this is a oil related index, it's probably a safe bet that anytime something bad goes down in the middle/far east, oil prices will rally bringing this index with it. I'm not positive that was the...

'24': Sneak Peek Ahead After cliffhanger, next season will jump forward in time Zap2it In its season finale, ABC's espionage romp "Alias" appeared to leap ahead two years in time. When it returns this fall, FOX's espionage thriller "24" plans a fast-forward of its own. The series...

Although you didn't want this thread to be about you, your post pretty much guarantees that it will. Probably not a good idea to call people a bunch of "loosers" and then expect any kind of positive feedback or info. Perhaps you could help to enlighten the rest of us so that we can eliminate...

Didn't think the show could get any better, and WHAM !!!!!!!!!!! Damn I wish this show was on HBO !!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: Vega:D

That's pretty f*cked up !! Anyway, I've been moved to go get lunch, off to MCD for a nice juicy burger:p Vega:D

From cnn.com WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Retired Adm. John Poindexter, who created a firestorm this week with his plan to create a futures market that would capitalize on predicting terror attacks, will resign in coming weeks from his post at the Pentagon, a senior defense official said Thursday...

Sorry I don't have time to find them for you, but I know the CBOE has a seven-day option calc that will show you the decay for holding a position for a week. Do a search on google for "options calculator" and I'm sure you will find a good free one that will be you a close enough idea as to what...

Other than being a policy holder, I have no affiliation with them, but there rates were much cheaper than the competition. Not quite sure on their costs for medical coverage, but a few months ago I had to find homeowners insurance because I was dropped for--get this--filing a claim, lol. To be...

If you're looking to hedge an S&P e-mini, you have several different choices. But first things first, using the QQQ to hedge an S&P position is NOT your best course of action(lots of people have blown out trying to cross-hedge these products or QQQ and DOW--example of possible situation would...

The British Open in a golf tournament, not a horse race.:p Vega:D

I've seen many different models, and they all have some weakness. Maybe one give you a more accurate gauge of skew with prices where there are now, but on a decent move everything gets out of whack. Or maybe it behaves better on bigger moves, but you have difficulty setting the skew right...

The more people in the game that DON'T know what their doing, the easier it gets for people that have at least some idea, lol Vega:D

Do you really think that the "bad guys" would be like, "Wait, before you blow up that building, double check to make sure you got filled on your futures. I'm filled, great, bombs away.........." Vega:D

Let's just say that they did trade these things. What if I took a gamble and loaded up on some futures that would pay off if something bad happens. If I made $1 million on the trade, would that be enough to cover my legal fees for my defense when Ashcroft & Co come after me ? And seriously...

Closing prices can be very deceptive--why ???? sometimes the last time an option traded was with an hour left in the trading day, and the stock may rally/sell-off in the last hour without the option trading, and then you have the old/stale price being used for that days settlement. Second...

You don't have a car ???????????:p :p Just kidding, but you just left yourself toooooooooo wide open on that one, hehehehehehe Vega:D

Something to consider tho is that you need to have a TON of capital at your disposal to be able to put on enough size to make it worth your while. Since your talking about arbitrage, the gains to be had are going to be relatively small, so in order to make $$$$ you need to do some size (and be...

You should be able to find plenty of info about these strategies in just about any option book, or even just doing a "google" search using options trading. Don't limit yourself to just selling put spreads, if selling spreads is going to be your game, consider selling call spreads too. Same...

Sound like although you had a small loss it didn't cost you too much $$$. I would assume that by about 10:30 CST that vol was headed down and would continue moving down the rest of the day, but outside of the leg you took on the stock seemed like you faired ok. Just remember MMs live and die...
