I just had to point out the irony here...given your alias...:D

And yet with their amazing niche product, they still have a losing track record...at least for the time period that I subscribed to their service. And this was about a year ago when there was a major buyout announced every day!

Realist - do you currently have any position on Dec. Silver?

Well, without even checking the options quotes, I'm guessing those Nov 240 calls probably just took a dip...

I'd agree with that about Macke. Every time he speaks he clenches a pen and holds it up in front of him. I have no idea what he's thinking.

I think of any demographic, single women in their mid-20's (at least in urban America) are the most hopelessly shallow breed alive. If you gave such a woman the power of God for 24 hours, she would just make herself thinner, and not even think that there was anything else to do. Or ok, maybe...

Kass has a dislocated shoulder from patting himself on the back for the entire late summer dip. I thought he had good reasoning, but every piece he wrote became so self-congratulatory and preening that I wrote him off as a "bizzaro-Cramer." And I wonder how Kass did after all that, now that...

At least you're not getting reamed in the ass with Corn (on the cob)...

Normally I'd agree with you on this...but neke has been trading like this for years, and has started this thread over 7 months ago, trading with arguably much less discipline than he is now. While I'm certainly not a fan of his position sizing techniques, I still can't really call him on it...

I'm looking for this to hold over $80. It's been having trouble staying over that mark the past few days. I've got some Oct 80 calls and will hold on to them just because my cost basis is low, but will get out by early next week if nyx can't close over 80.

benysl: so as of now, what is your net debit or credit on this position, after your adjustments of the past couple months? I see that your risk is reduced down to $500, without considering your net adjustments...

You can choose different skins on the TOS platform?? Huh...didn't know that.

I love the "don't taser me bro" absolutely hilarious!! I wonder if that schlong-bobber has a car with a big subwoofer that he drives around in with the windows down?

The chances that this move gets faded?...hmmm, approx. 110%??

Apparently has been confirmed to just be a big box trade... too bad I liquidated my entire portfolio to go long those SEP SPX 700 puts :eek: :eek: :eek: http://www.thestreet.com/s/dispelling-the-bin-laden-options-trades/newsanalysis/optionsfutures/10377063.html

Even if someone was going to trade on a planned terrorist attack, why would you go so low on the puts? Do you need to go down to the 700's to pay just a nickel? I mean, if the market took that much of a quick hit, it would pretty much need to be due to a large asteroid the size of Manhattan...

Neke, maybe your realization that you tend to lose more frequently when you put up more cash could mean that you are perceiving that a particular stock is highly volatile...and then leveraging up to hit a home run. I guess the first question that I should ask would be: is your position sizing...

I think it's easy to have strong reactions to neke's weekly volatility...as I am certainly in that camp. However, I think it's more important to look at his equity curve and overall performance...that equity chart now has 25 datapoints, and while there are some obviously wild swings, the trend...

Actually, in the BEST case, assuming IV is constant and the Q's doesn't move, you would make money in the first month too (your position value will be in the green). You are putting the trade on for a net cost of 0, but at Sept expiration, your short option liability will decay to 0 value...

I don't think that the Q's need to gap down 7 points for you to be in trouble. For example, if there's a gap down beyond your short put of only, say, 3 points, you won't be able to roll down for a credit or breakeven...I would think it would cost you money. But overall, yes, basically your...
