Atty puts damn near a whole option book into every post... :cool:

I used to think it was marketsurfer doing his best VN spoof. But I'm not so sure. Surfy seems like a nice guy, but I don't think he has the writing chops to pull it off... In any case, they are words to the wise about using a lot of leverage selling premium. Of course, here at ET they...

Is he out of jail yet?

As always, no magic bullet and no free lunch. Are 'flys "better" than other spreads? Possibly, but still no inherent edge. It's all about your "predictive" powers and probabilities. Can you predict that vol will increase/decrease, or the market will go up/down/stay the same? You might...

Like most other high-leverage strategies, the DOTM credit spreads work until they don't . Ansbacher has been doing similar for many years. And he damn near got wiped out a few times. Seems like after a few good years for these strats, everybody and their brother is doing them and selling...

I'm surprised his name wasn't "Dick" and hers "Jane". But really, he could have robbed people legally if he could have gotten a financial job at JPM or Goldman...

I don't know why there is such an archaic rule like this. Probably to try and protect the profits of exchange members? FWIW I'm not sure how the exchange or IB could tell if a "mouse click" was a human, or program-generated (except if it happened very fast). And in any case, sending in...

I suspect they are all screechin' bitches. But I could put up with it for a while! :D
