I'm thinking of putting on some Iron Turkeys on NFLD. I think I'll wait till the market opens tomorrow.

One of them looks like my wife. Ain't sayin which one.

Who made the following statements when running for president in 2000? "Let me tell you what else I'm worried about: I'm worried about an opponent who uses nation building and the military in the same sentence. See, our view of the military is for our military to be properly prepared to fight...

I guess it all goes back to the original Lefty Loony - Eisenhower. I seem to recall him warning us to watch out for the military-industrial complex. And let's not forget all those in the current administration who fought to, uh, "defend" our country in Vietnam. Let's name them all. ... Well...

You are forgetting the the GOP is quickly becoming known as the Gay Old Pedophiles.

No. I don't watch TV.

How they tried to warn us that attacking Iraq was a bad idea? And we called them cowards and worse, and renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries, and all that other stuff? Boy, are they stupid. What do they know?

I am in northern California, where are you? Actually prices are up more like .25. I'm pretty sure I saw prices around $2.15 just before the election, yesterday the lowest I saw was $2.39.

And trying to calculate the tip.

Back in the good old days, when we still had a working Constitution, it was required that Congress declare war. I guess the founding fathers didn't want some irresponsible idiot running around willy nilly starting wars on his own.

he will most likely do it before the new Congress starts in January.

Yup. I guess it was a little tight, especially with earnings the Thursday before expiration.

I had an order in today to close it for $4.00. I think it came within a dime but never got filled. Luckily GOOG was up today. I'll check it out tomorrow. Arnie, wouldn't your OTM credit spreads be considered Iron Condors? That's how I got into this position in the first place (posted on...

I ended up with a naked DEC 470 put after unwinding some other positions today. Of course before that it was pushing 500 and afterwards it tanked to 491-something. I thought 30 points was a comfortable cushion, but this is GOOG after all and it could drop 30 points if Bernanke or someone farts...

Thanks. To paraphrase Rumsfeld, it's those pesky unknown unknowns that are the problem.

ToS recently added a scanner. I haven't used it so I can't comment. The ToS platform is great. I probably use about 1% of its features. One problem is that (AFAIK) most of their user documentation is in the form of downloadable videos. I have a slow dialup connection, so I haven't seen any...

Cheney says deficits don't matter any more.

At first I thought you were wrong, but when this was first posted the volume was around 27,000 and the open interest was about 21,000. Today the open interest is 14,000.
