I think what they did with the artistic side, is probably going to need a different appreciation than the usual music. It was horrible. Plus it needs elaborate explanations just to begin to appreciate the art. What I mean is, for example, Like those paintings you see.....some of...

I was a bit hopeful when I first saw this thread title. I was excited even. I thought somebody out there had actually made what I had wanted to see in a long time...... Stock Marke Audio Technical Analysis. (for lack of better word) Think about it, we use charts. That's only visual...

Hi, Do you mean strangle? Not straddle, right? Interesting, but it's only 2 years, maybe if it's longer there will be bigger fat tails in total...

Hi, Who killed Slobodan Milosevic? Why?

Over long term the collective net is 0, but individually might not be net 0. The zero sum is for the collective picture. Some individuals will lose more and some gain more. Is this so hard to understand? Individually therefore you can have positive expectancy and wiggle your way to be among...

That's not the same......why are you comparing with roulette....can you do technical analysis with roulette? Nothing to do but just spin the wheel, so it's pure probability only and since the probability is fixed at 50%, assuming no greens, of course over long term it's break even. What can any...

About making money on long term.....I dont know why an individual can't make money on a zero-sum game for the long term. Why must an individual break even at long term? This is only true collectively. Isnt it? Because there are so many people, although the collective net is 0, but some...

Maybe I said it wrongly, I didnt say 0 to mean 0, but dissapear, gone. Evaporate.

Hi hi..... About the underlying with intrinsic value, true, but imagine this. If the underlying with the intrinsic value goes kapoot (bankrupt/ zero), then it would be a zero sum, agree? Uh wait a minute, this is exactly what you said above also, ok..... Option is a derivative which also...

Congratulations rubberbird for the entertaining and stimulating excersice, it almost did reach 1300. By the way, will you open a new thread on March?

Im abit new on this forum so I only got to read a few of the more impressive ones....NibabaAshi, riskarb, Maverick74, optionscoach and others........thanks all of you for sharing..

Think he was talking about futures quote.....

Also I think you did the right thing by repairing your threatened put. The problem with this far OTM put selling is that it's a 'blink or not' game. If you dont blink in the face of danger, and the market turns upwards later, you get to keep your profit. But if you keep staring and not blinking...

Hi hi..... Im not too sure whether you actually meant you should've waited longer instead, or not. But it seems you regret not getting a better price. Well it depends on the underlying's price movement and volatility mainly, since you dont sell so close to expiration then the time factor of...

I wonder if it will hit 1300 or not.....daily chart says it's forming a 'W' pattern isn't it? Then it supposedly should go down soon. Even if it doesn't continue to WM pattern, but at least some. Resistance from previous high near 1295 and also psychological 1300 should be helping resist, plus...

Hi, Do you feel uncomfortable when air stewardesses stand lined up and greet goodbye to you as you leave the plane? I know I do. The aisle is small, and there's not enough private/ personal space. When you walk to leave the plane definitely you need to pass them in close proximity...

Just a quick note.......u have to decide whether u want to be a directional trader, and how much so. If any directional calls will be made, another area u have to study very carefully is technical analysis first. Otherwise the options part will be dangerous. (wrong order of learning). As u...

I use this too......my favourite......it's useful to have the band. I can use it in several ways. First is that there is a lower chance of price penetrating outside the band. Especially if it's a wide band and especially if price is at near one side of the band. It has lower chance of...

I feel theres a misunderstanding about what Nassim really believes in. He is saying that unexpected events will happen unexpectedly, and people tend to underestimate this possibility. An example will be a writer of a far OTM option. When an unexpected event happen, this writer will be in...

No....not that point.....it's for him so he can decide, based on his personality.....it's a story to help him......
