    The VZ spread filled yesterday at $45 BTW I have been updating my trades as things occur. I personally think this has resulted in too many updates..... I started updating in response to complaints that I didn't update any of my trades. (from optionguru as I remember). Plus I have been posting...

    Closed ECL at a loss of $163 per contract http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ecl Despite the fact that ECL is still rated as a sell by Zacks, it did exceed earnings estimates. I did not close out when it beat earnings : http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ecolab-ecl-beats-q1-earnings-141502615.html...

    Selling delta 3-5 ES Puts with 40-57 days left

    I agree with OptionGuru the word 'edge' means nothing because it means everything. If you are going to say why a certain person succeeded when his competitors failed was his 'edge' so what? You haven't said anything. I am a good basketball player because I am tall...it's my 'edge' ...so what...
