Why you do not consider contacting people you think can help you here at ET, see what they can do for you, and hire them? You can hire most people, it is sometimes just a question of how much in addition to other considerations? As someone said, if the mentor is busy mentoring, what guarantee...

Thanks, and I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. Man it is cold where I am-- I envy you!

Just like in the market: for every opinion cast, there is one which is the exact opposite!

Do it on a european style. For instance XEO or OEX (one of the two is european).

dividend

There is a reason, but I cannot say it.

Steve< Is there a way to get around this "(due to SEC restrictions the options are not available to US residents)". For instance what if one register a non-US company, and trade under it. Would this be a possibility? Also what if one opens a subaccount in an existing account, and have a...

Your have the right to express whatever you want to express. For that you do not need a table. You need just your views. Remember, the market also express its view. It never fails in its views.

I think you are right, and it should do that, as the american put can be higher in price than the american put in the absence of dividend and other unsual conditions. This would mean that the interest rate can be undervalued using the call-put calculation. I however have noticed that the ATM...

You can enter anything you want, but the true interest rate is the one that is already in the pricing.

The interest rates you should use are in the option prices themselves. Here how to obtain them: go to an etf such as IWM. Take ATM strike. (Call-Put) gives the interest. Divided it by strike and annualize the rate. Make sure that the option chain is not an option chain for end of quarter...

The situation of civilian palestinians who die today is equivalent to the situation of the jews who died under the hand of nazies. It was wrong then to kill innocent Jews, and it is wrong today to kill innocent palestinians. I pray for all these innocent humans who died then and who die today...

Unless you feel you did not understand the above books, I do not think that any of the programs will help you. I however think that your desire to learn from someone who is doing it and who can teach you is a good route. The things that really work are not in books. In addition, you need...

Some remarks: 1. Your put is OTM. So the position cannot be a straddle. Did you mean a strangle? 2. It would be like a strangle at the time you build it up. But the call in a strangle gains delta's. The deltas in the mini gold position will not gain deltas. 3. In exchange for the loss of...

You are obsolutely right. I do not think that the majority of the people appreciate this point as they should. Once one becomes well at trading and build (say a million dollar capital) then they are free from income worries forever. This cannot be said of another individual of similar net...

Your money management is sound. I bet the majority who buy premium do not understand and/or do not do what you do. What would be your answer to the following questions if you do not mind: 1. What expiration period do you use (3 months, 6 months, etc). 2. How long do you hold the option...

USD/TRY is the new carry trade king.

You bought a piece of paper for $1 (with some words and special writing). I was going once to buy one from the web. It is worthless since there is no law and enforcement of the law. Moon is an ownerless property, if it is not already owned by extra-terrestial living beings. I have read that...

That is consistent with my thinking. I would also add that the delta will stay within the interval 0.33 and 0.5 (0.33 and 0.5 exclusive). Most likely delta will be in the 0.4 range. Is this what you obtained for your numbers? It is interesting to note that the golden strike will be hit in...
