Finally the mods got rid of this idiotic thread!! BOTPRO: The reason you were thrown out is you are an idiot and a pain in the ass besides. I am amazed the mods let your thread go on as long as they did. I feel they were very very patient. I don't know your life situation but I would bet that...

1. The company released the news after market close. 2. The decline in price of the stock did not start until after the release. From this I would conclude there was no significant insider trading on the stock prior to the news release. It would not be unusual for there to be a spike in put...

When I graduated from high school in 1960 I had no means of going to college. So I enrolled in a program at Temple Hospital in Philadelphia for a brand new medical field : Respiratory Therapy. The program was sponsored by the NIH and paid a small stipend. This new field was prompted by a new...

Well... maybe I'm over stating the "BAD BAD" part. I really just need the S&P not to go up much more. I do have a few bull put spreads running but they all have substantial space before they will be threatened by a pull back. Also a number of them are utilities (XLU) and bonds (TLT...

filled at $97 = 31% annualized. Now what I need is a BAD BAD set of earnings reports. :)

The first issue for doing a buy-write strategy is the stability of the stock. If the stock is very stable you won't get much for your calls (low volatility = low options premium) but the probability of the stock itself tanking is low. If the stock is very unstable then you will get a boodle...

Q1 earnings reports begin with Alcoa reporting after market close on Monday. http://www.thestreet.com/story/13524181/1/first-quarter-earnings-in-focus-in-week-ahead.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO "The early prognosis on companies' quarterly performances doesn't look good" There's seems little...

Sounds like Jim Cramer lost some serious money on AGN : http://www.thestreet.com/story/13457601/1/jim-cramer-s-mad-money-recap-the-feds-will-make-you-broke.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO He says: 'no one saw it coming' I'm sorry, but (as I pointed out above) a lot of people at least suspected...

I am aware of the data on emerging markets but I don't think it's worth paying much attention to. Both because those markets are not of important scale and because the data from those markets is of questionable quality. It's certainly not something I'd base a trade on.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/analysts-inversion-rules-kill-pfizer-175309683.html I'm not THAT certain the deal will be cancelled. There is more to the future than these rule changes... and Pfizer may want to continue it's inversion strategy anyway. I have no idea what that posting by...

I scanned that article and would simply say that if there is a positive conclusion it is extremely subtle. The article, like all these articles, is convoluted and idiosyncratic and in fact the authors recognize that their result is at odds with established conclusions of the majority of studies...

Obviously, if one were to employ 'technical analysis' one would employ it on the underlying rather than attempting to employ it on option prices. Of course it doesn't really make any difference. I hope, at this late date, no one involved with the stock market believes that technical analysis...

I always look with sympathy at the flight crew as they arrive trailing their little luggage carriers and think what life must be like for them. 30 years is a long time to live like that. It has, I fear, become a part of modern corporate life in general. When I worked for a major drug company...
