This is my website www.Stubby.ca on the obsolete Canadian stubby beer bottle from 1961 - 1983. Should bring back memories to the Canadians on ET. Granville Island Brewing www.gib.ca a micro-brewery in Vancouver, Canada brews a Honey Lager which is very good.

Did you receive the email from Sitrick & Company? Below is part of it: -------------------------------- "In the next week, you should receive a package in the mail that will contain additional information regarding the Bar Date (the "Bar Date Notice") and a proof of claim form stating your...

But how do you know that the IV WILL explode over the next 2 weeks? For IV to explode unexpected news has to come out and blindside everyone. The only way you could know this is from inside information.

And the Cisco (CSCO) Yahoo board is in its own class.

Can your claim be verified with a live trading journal on Elite Trader in the Journals section?

In Canada we have a Taxable Capital Gain of 50%. In your example $56,500 is tax free, and $56,500 would be considered taxable income.

If you own property in Canada then you are gaining US Dollars. I live in Vancouver and not only has my place gone up in Canadian dollars it has increased even more in US Dollars, which is the worlds currency. I expect real estate in Vancouver and the CAD to continue to climb as the 2010 Olympics...

Ok....thanks, I'm looking into IB and TOS. I'm with BMO Investorline and their commission is $35.00 plus $1.00- $3.50 per option contract.

I 2nd that. When I first opened my account I could buy stock, options, covered calls, BUT no: Cash covered naked puts :confused: Credit or debt spreads with a set maximum loss :confused: I can understand not allowing naked calls, but to disallow a trade when you can cover the maximum loss...

All that "automated program" does is place a point at the highs and lows and then connects the points in a straight line, similiar to this. You don't need a program to do that.

The chart you posted is completely based on hindsight. You have taken a historical chart and added lines to define a "trend".

It's amazing that Java hasn't been replaced by now. It's been around for ages and still so "buggy".

Buy high - Sell higher I would say that #4 (Trend is your friend) and #8 (Do NOT follow the crowd) contradict each other.

I think I will paper trade this one and see how it goes, this stock must be ready to move with those expensive options. ENZ @ $12.84. Sell May ENZ 12.50 Put @ $0.90

Steve.....sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

You would always have to re-calculate since IV and time to expiry changes. You could just look at the option chain and do a quick calculation in you head to figure out the % move required to double the option.

You have noticed a pattern, in both cases ACL trended up after earnings. I would recommend buying ATM CALLS a day or two AFTER earnings, IV will have dropped and you can ride the wave back up. I don't think a straddle before earnings will produce a profit in your example, any profit you do...

My guess is GOOG. I think you would get more help and advice if in your original post you stated the exact position you have. What you might think is a "April call vertical, and an April put vertical" might actually be something else. Stock, Strike Prices, Expiry, Date Entered and Fill Prices...

If you have the time I would do a search "refcofx" on this site and you will find what you are looking for, except for maybe the "Recourse for holders of S&P Managed Futures?" part. But briefly: Q: When did it start? A: Early October 2005 Q: Current status? A: Not looking good for...
