    PCLN Earnings - 1080/1100/1120 Call Fly - Paper Trade

    lol no. omg, bro! That's simply 68.27% of the distro! Seriously, this is even more moronic than your "profitable positions within 3 std devs." Read a remedial 099 statistics book or find someone to think for you. For the sake of your kids!

    ATM is a binary proposition, 50% likelihood. A pick-em market. "Near the money" is OTM and therefore even less likely, you think?!?! So your "100% chance" of being ITM is a bit optimistic! HTF were you not in the running for Fed Chair?

    How many here had a 31 ACT? Campus recruiters hire undergrads to put in D1 "babysitting" gigs all the time. The 25k is a monumental accomplishment and he's obviously extremely tight and likely risk-averse.

    Only 10% of admits to MIT have a score of 31 or less. He'd be a bit above average at Urbana, depending on his grades. Really not the point. What kid saves $25k as a HS student? And of those few; who spends $7.5k on mentoring? I'd be far less concerned about his math skills than his mental state...

    Well, he's not going to get into MIT with a 31.... it's only a tad better than the average for say, UC Davis or Illinois Champaign. Anyway, I was a bit out of line. I simply think you lay it on a bit thick and it perhaps does you a disservice. I'm out.

    This email proves nothing, but you provided it. Somehow I missed the "begging" part. I've never witnessed a more self-aggrandized nick than yours. This from a guy who can't properly ratio the underlying in a spread chart...

    You need the cash that badly? Why not redact the name and post the screengrab here and I will gladly apologize and stfu. There was nothing preventing you from sending an email to yourself as representing this HS kid. So let's see the ACT results as well.

    This is pure fantasy and why vendors should not be allowed to sell non-commercial services here.

    He's not adjusting anything, you idiot. He's making an analogy with two Euro digital bets. You're not going to understand it because you're thick and indignant. Even an idiot can understand it conceptually, but you're too much of the latter to accept the advice and learn from it. No trader would...

    I don't think they report anymore. I know they're still under $200MM and the site is just a tombstone now. http://www.hathersage.com/

    Bro, you're so smart. I can't believe you're not managing Paulson's vol-book. My new sig-line is below. Delta is irrelevant if you're defining your profit and loss regions - as you do with a spread. Delta matters if you're leaving one or both sides open-ended (aka directional).

    He's trying to sell his co-op at 2 E. 88th for $25MM. It's worth much less and he paid $21.9MM with a loan from FXC. He's underwater on that as well. htf do you go from $15B in AUM to broke?

    The comms on my stuff are roughly 2% of NBBO, so it's moot IMO. I don't trade a lot of street vol under $50/share due to comms.
