You think its interesting that a lot of options traded on the day of earnings or the days leading up to earnings?

You can do them anywhere you like. Look at something like the SOX index those guys do them every expiration too.

I think they delted it. As usual with his threads it turned into a running argument. No matter how many times people posted the actual rules right from the CBOE page he screamed he was right. You missed a very entertaining thread

rotflmao But he had a 65 page thread on how he routinely forced them to give him fills

But day has a sure fire system for forcing the mm's in the SPX pit to fill him and he's sure they're all affraid of him. Are you saying he's a liar? Wow I totally have to re-think this whole place if people are not what they say they are here.

You can easily buy it for your fair value. Like I said I am not really an AAPL vol seller and not likely anyone but retail paying 15 cents above perceived fair value for it. If you buy the fly you're buying the wings and selling the meat, net short vega.

Incidentally no one is really shopping much in the way of earnings plays for AAPL yet which says to me there are a lot of undecided’s who will pass on it.

AAPL vol would have to get even higher then here for me to get excited about selling that front month Vega

Are you under the impression tha high fuel costs is something only you figured out and the market who priced those options didnt realize?

I find him to be the epitome of an internet lacky. The 65 page rant about how he forces the market makers in the SPX to fill him was hysterical. No matter how many times the rules were posted he still screamed and yelled about how he was right. Yahoo is worse

There is no reason to throw flames here, despite todays communication issue I never doubted your knowledge. There is a huge universe of people who show up here talking chit and knowing nothing, why go after someone like you? Oh by the way I dont need your permission to flame you... just...

I am just kidding around. I enjoyed the banter earlier. No big deal

About what I expected.

Its not worth the effort at this point. The question was about the equivalence of the straddles. Trading spot vs either one w/o the options is not trading vega. You can have the last word. Have a nice day.

Are you saying that trading the underlying after hours vs the synthetic straddle is somehow different then trading the underlying in after hours vs the natural straddle? The original question was about trading the underlying vs the straddles. Underlying being baseball cards or whatever you...

The thread was about the equivalence of the natural straddle vs. the synthetic straddle, and trading the underlying vs each. Is there a reason you need to start with insults?

Not sure why you're beating this dead horse. The original question was never about being able to trade vega in afterhours. The point is you can trade the underlying vs the synthetic or the natural straddle exactly the same way. I dont believe we were ever discussing the options trading in...

Again the original topic was synthetic vs. natural straddle. I said it does not matter which straddle you can always trade the underlying to take profit or stop out. Are you saying something other then that? Thats the crux of the question here. I dont believe we ever were discussing trading...

I am not taking issue with the availability of the underlying, nor are we or were we talking about bonds or any bond product. I believe the topic was synthetic vs. natural straddle and I / we concluded it does not matter when trading the underlying in off hours, so long as you can trade the...

No problem you can always trade any underlying vs either straddle as long at the underlying is open
