I get the same impression. Numbers don't lie, people do. People need to live somewhere. Did they leave the country? How do you have empty houses that are for sale AND a huge amount of empty rental properties? What the hell is going on here? Counting 4.8 million seasonal properties...

Call your 5 strike and raise raise a 7.5. If you're going to gamble, then gamble! Since it's purely a speculative play,and I have no problem with that, I would like to see a MUCH higher return if successful, otherwise, why bother? Whatever fits your style, though. We're all probably better...

FEB calls at the 10 strike are selling for $0.07. If the underlying moves to $11 before expiration, you would make a killing. Go ahead and buy about 300 contracts. It's just money :)

Proceed with caution. IV crush will brutalize your returns. You have a little more flexibility with a diagonal or double diagonal, but in present market conditions that trade is vulnerable too.

Does your broker offer a decent option analyzer? If it does, compare your "reverse" iron condor to a straddle or a strangle. I really don't see an advantage to putting on that trade, other than a smaller margin requirement (and smaller reward to go with it).

I was going to comment on that, but I don't want the market to hear me, as mean and spiteful as it is. How do you define extraordinary risk?

Is the period button stuck on your keyboard? Go out and buy a new one for like $10. (Please disregard my comments if you have narcolepsy and kept dozing off while writing your post.)

At least Erin is nice to look at, which probably doesn't matter much to you liberals. And by liberals, I mean homosexuals of course. :D That Kevin guy with the beady eyes, and the glasses to match, needs to go. Even by CNBC standards, he's nothing but a douche bag with vocal chords. It...

No, their JOB is to make Goldman more money. They're probably selling put premiums right now. I don't trust anything they say. There's an agenda behind all of their press releases.

You're not here to tell us "you told us so," but you're quoting you're own posts? Well, you're wrong, and I'm here to tell you so. You were "short everything" since 2005? Is that why you haven't posted in awhile? You were living in a cardboard box? Or, let me guess, you held those shorts...

Agreed. The worst part of a recession is the whining school girls that go with it, not to mention the overly emotional political crowd that just KNOWS the democrats or the republicans are to blame for anything and everything. All the high school educated amateur economists should just march...

"Bush set this Economy up the best he could for Obama to could succeed, unlike the mess Clinton left for Bush." Wow. Just wow.

Less uneducated? George Bush, is that you? I'll give you a minute to think about that one. Maybe English isn't your first language. They don't speak any English or Spanish? In BRAZIL? I get it. You're trying to be funny. Right?

This country was built on trading, and some of you are suggesting we would benefit from protectionism and building the Great Wall of America? Nonsense. Don't be so gullible and believe everything the media has to say on the subject—it tends to be a little one sided. Yes, other countries...

The "author" sure "likes" to use quotation marks. I wonder is he "thinks" this gives his "story" more "impact." I love the "blogospher."

Hmmm. Monday should be interesting, anyway. Market needs to stay open 24/7. We can sleep when we're dead.

Isn't Gasparino the a-hole that started the rumor in the first place? Wasn't it just two days ago he said the good bank bad bank was all but a done deal? I wonder if his "sources" had an interest in leaking that information to the media.

End the day flat or trade something that doesn't really have an "after hours." I sometimes buy insurance for over the weekend. I suppose you could purchase the appropriate amount of puts or calls before the market closes and sell them in the morning, if you're worried about an after hours...

Karl Marx said a lot of things, but he didn't say that. Careful what you read on the internet.

Sounds like you need to download the TOS platform. In the analyze tab, there is an input for Yield, Vol Adj, Stock Price and Exercise Price. Also, you can input the volatility manually, and instead of entering the stock price manually, you can just click the current price on the graph and...
