A banker who needs no more money, decides to become a wedding photographer, so he can take away jobs from struggling photographers. That's how I read this news.... There is a guy around the corner from me who makes coffees from a Piaggio Ape, this 3 wheel Italian farmer vehicle converted into...

The egg with small chick in, is actually a very popular street food in the Philippines, called, Balut. It's cooked and it tastes like chicken/duck, although is sad and gross to look at. It's not really a bad thing to see nature doing its course with food. You should worry about the eggs that...

“Expectation is the root of all heartache" William Shakespeare

You should really write about your adventures at sea if you are not already doing it. It's an exciting read, even for people like me who wouldn't have to courage to sail away like this. I love the sea but I think I fear it more. I find fascinating how sailors go across oceans, and then have...

Beautiful islands, pretty lucky with hurricanes overall, when compared to the Caribbean or some American coast. Normally they unwind by the time they reach up there. I think they had a big one one, Fabian, about 20yrs ago, that caused damage.

London remains one of my favourite cities, not the food tough. I am probably just tired of my lifestyle and city fast life in general.

I wouldn't mind leaving London and relocate to Spain tomorrow...

You guys sound like you never left your basement, I seriously doubt you ever saw a naked woman in real life.

Wow... This was a beautiful read. Those adventures are what make you feel really alive. I lived in Bermuda for a year in 2005, around Hamilton, on land, some beautiful boats docked there.

But the PIGS pack thousands of years of history, culture, food and beauty. You drive one hour and it all changes, the language, the food, the climate, the people.... I understand you are pissed at angrytrader because he said you eat shit. The word shit should not be used when discussing food...

We can keep an eye hypothetically, but it's not a position I would like to find myself in.

Can you elaborate a little more on this? I noticed it in a couple of posts. Do you think the Fed is that aware of crypto that their action will reflect that? In what way do you think they will act less shitty?

:D

Short naked call on a Vix ETF sounds like a decent horror story. IMO a "sit-out" adjustment would convert it into another position or just cap the losses. However small you might trade it, in % you are always collecting pennies in front of a steam roller. I see no point in being able to...

From the short legs yes, but I think the long legs would be at a loss of around 50$, so the total for the combo would be negative for about 14$, approx market close estimation: (59.40 open - 34.40 close) X2 - 36 (stradlle)

I am pro crypto and blockchain, but this is one the most absurd thing I have ever read. This is embarrassing for all genuine crypto enthusiasts. 30% of global wealth? Someone watched too much "Mr Robot"

I use candles too, vertically. Horizontally lines work well :D The concern was on volatility crush risk, as that payoff looked too good. I monitored it and it did lose value after the open and post NFP on volatility drop (long legs). The combo went from approx 60$ premium to 50$ mid. Then...

Just double checked myself too. Some emails have a link, some don't. There is notification setting page here https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/fyi/?action=FYI&loginType=1&clt=0&FC=EA#/settings

Just saw these last posts, thanks. I didn't consider NFP. I was just looking at the structure itself, I didn't take the trade. Still interesting, I often look at short dated prices on a diagonal level. I like the long tail idea these days.

Yes thanks, I meant vol crush. Didn't take the position, just trying to understand. Although I have traded similar structures in the past. I would love for SPX to fly away with a structure like this, because of the ratio, long tail. I am not trying to predict the vol crush, just modeling to...
