What bothers me somewhat is this exceprt from the prospectus: USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds from the sale of the 20,000,000 shares of common stock offered by us will be approximately $490.6 million, after deducting the placement agency fee. The primary purposes of this offering are to...

I called IB about that today. They said they are aware of the problem and are working on it. It's costing us some money until it's fixed. They did not say when it will be fixed.

A typo , thanks. Point still applies, only 300 employees.

I'm no economist, but the prospectus shows that about 5% of this privately held company is go public in a 200M share offering. The shares are "expected" to sell for $23 - $27. They hope to raise abount $500,000,000. Now that seems to be a lot for 5% of a rather small enterprise. That would...

This post is not seeking further dialog, but simply a report on how well a DITM vertical bull call spread portfolio fared after the past week. This analysis was figured about midday today, mar 5. This portfolio has 299 spreads in fifty different stocks and ETFs. 208 spreads are still DTM...

Do you think then that there might be some imbalances in the world of options from bull or bear outlooks? All things being equal as to equal expectation of a bear market or a bull market, and factual fundamental information about a company, and identical characteristics as to OTM/ITM, do you...

Well the market is allowing me to continue my vacation today. I like the rare spells, makes me a little nervous too. Here is an average guy. He has some money saved up, but not enough to turn over to a professional money manager with a proven tract record. His doesn’t not trust his...

Thanks Wayne for your timely response. There are at least 2 of us out here that will read your pose VERY carefully.

Fully articulate Thank you for responding. I am aware of parity and I know that the situation I proposed is not possible because of parity. It was meant to be humorous. What I was curious about was if a declining market expectation would somehow show up in option pricing, and if the...

exQQQQ I hope to start discussing that soon. It is a hugely interesting subject, not to mention a critical element of the success of this methodology. I'm about worn out defending my credibility and I'm done with that. So I hope to get on with business soon. I'll start with a post I just...

MACD I did respond. By PM.

Nuggo your still a good guy. Also OptionCoach may deny it today, but he has written good stuff in the past about vertical spreads supporting the strategy. That was one of the reasons I gained confidence in the strategy. Because of his comments about it. So go figure.

So, MTE I suppose you waded through Cottle's large paper on synthetic's and actually understood everthing he wrote. Wow, that's great because I couldn't get through it. And where is your source of study on Black-Scholes theory (i don't know if the spelling is correct) that clearly states, in...

OK mte - Ithink I got it now. No statements! No questions! Thanks.

URSA - what is FA? Something about position analysis I assume? Just for fun here is a thought, since you brought up bear spreads. The Black-Scholes equations are used to calculate the value of options, I gather. Big computers, very smart algorithms, almost god-like. If they are so...

It's all about the implementation and methodolgy, Coach.

i've sent out a few copies of my document to people who requested it. I haven't taken a penny from anybody on ET, and I never will, as long as I remain a member. This thing is in draft form and I am exposing it to peer review at my peril, and mostly for the novices who are curious about the...

In the spirit of trying to get some useful diolog here, I offer the following -then I'm done unless there are some responses: The first time I was exposed to the incredible flexibility of vertical spreads was when I listened to a lecture by Fontanills. It was on a 2 CD set that I bought...

Reply to DaddysBoy: RESPONSE PART 1 I’ll be clear. I am very happy with my strategy and have NO intention of changing it. On my very first post, I think I stated my goals clearly as follows: “I hope we can discuss in some detail the topics related specifically to this type of...
