"what makes you so confident that this will breakdown this year and not 2 -5 years from now?" ---->Same question I asked myself a few days ago, before deciding I want in. I still have an old school hard line phone in addition to my cell. I used to pay T for that service, while I paid...

Cramer just lurrrrves the other side of our trade! "Cramer doesn't recommend speculating on takeovers unless the company's fundamentals are sound. In this case, he thinks ADT's fundamentals are excellent. He also likes that the company is cutting costs and paying down debt. ADT's stock...

<b>Ten freakin' thousand</b> ADT Jan. 40 puts traded today, at a cost of like $2 1/2 mil??? Damn! For those who sincerely believe that ET is pikers-only territory, <b>you were wrong</b>, and I got your proof right here: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3786407>

I personally didn't hedge out the takeover risk with calls because that's just how I roll, but I suppose a more conservative trader would consider doing so. Question: Does AT&T have a history of buying up companies like ADT to expand? I can't think who else would want to buy them, because...

Holy shit! Looks like my recommendation was taken VERY seriously: Over 700 of those Jan. '14 puts traded so far today, which is more than 10 times average. Now I'll feel pretty bad if this is the one time I finally F-ed it up. :eek: :cool: Edit: 881 traded and counting...

Tulving has great prices, but most individuals don't buy/sell enough size to meet his minimum requirements. The other drawback is sweating it out, hoping nothing gets lost/misplaced/stolen in the mail.

If you're in the Chicago area, I can provide my preferred bullion dealer recommendations.

I'm especially long the Jan '14, 40 puts. Current price: $2.525

The mystery stock is ADT. Current price: $44.07 This market call was brought to you by the letter 'H', and my massive ego.

Put on the full silly ultra-orthodox Jewish costume- beard, long curly sideburns and all- and then burst into your local mosque during Friday prayers while singing <i>Hatikva</i> at the top of your lungs. Your hospital bills would be tax deductible.

OMG, I totally HATED the one time a mod here ever did that to me!

Very cool, although your pre-edit version <i>was</i> a little more amusing. :D So third prize goes to Josef K, who shall be the proud recipient of a one week's supply of 'past the expiration date' sluts and the accompanying set of brown paper bags. Enjoy your prize sir, and no refunds! So...

...and you <b>don't</b> have any fond memories of trading this stock symbol back in the day. Reason being, It didn't exist as it's own separate entity until kind of sort of recently. Another fun clue: Most of us here have never given this company a single penny of our money, but those who do...

So regarding that mystery stock which I expect will get pounded like a rented gerbil over the next year or so, I've started to build my long-puts position, but I'm very interested in adding more in case it happens to rally a buck or two this week. But providing a couple more clues should...

Does this vindicate me? <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Bc0WjTT0Ps" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Very good find! I need to explain something now, and due to my long track record of consistent honesty here, I do think I deserve to be believed: The only reason I used that word was because I was <b>parodying the beer commercials</b>! (The 'world's most interesting man' always says "Stay...

WE HAVE A WINNER! ET member 'miscsales' has just PMed me with the correct answer on his second try. Congratulations, miscsales, you have just won a one year's supply of hot young sluts!

Man, I'd totally read a book like that if it existed! The hard part is getting it to exist, though. Writing an entire book is a ton of work, and I'm pretty sure that plenty of dudes plan to write a book some day, but never end up doing it. <iframe width="420" height="315"...

Wait, hold on a second... Maybe there <i>is</i> a civilized way for me to explain where my cavalier attitude towards risk comes from in the first place, and why it's actually nothing to envy. Think of the most un-Zen places a person can possibly find themselves. Or don't think, and I'll just...

Oh, one more thing! If you happen to take all my clues and figure out which company I'm referring to, would you mind PMing me with your cleverness instead of just blurting it out right here before I'm able to get in? Much appreciated!
