Mav, you in their SF office? Tell Chad I said Hello

I dont find him smug. I also dont think that sittig watching him to try and trade off something he says is a particularlly sound trading plan.

Well said. Not to mention that if he or any other NBC employee was front running or fading those stocks he talks about it would not be all that hard to spot.

What SEC law has he violated? I am sure some of his picks suck and some are good. They run the proper disclaimer so NBC protects their asses in that respect. As far as taking the show off the air? Why the heck would they do that? It’s a big money maker for NBC. The show gets good ratings...

Not sure why people hate this guy so much? I am not a fan but I dont really care. Sadly its become all to common in this country for the general public to blame someone else for poor choices they make. Ever wonder why CNBC or NBC does not get sued over his bad picks? Surely in this litigious...

Sean O'hair in the US Open

Good replies folks, its easy to lob childish insults from behind screen names, only the most insecure of people would be bothered by them. Don its interesting to look at how they have changed the calculation of the years especially to account with the big volatility skew in the S and P index.

Implied volatility goes down on those days. IV got crushed yesterday LOL.

Its calculated off the implied volatility in options on the S and P what else would you call it?

First of all it’s the internet so it’s assumed you did well today and every day. Secondly it’s the internet so it’s assumed you retired at 45 or earlier. There is no reason to state those ehh hemm facts or put it in a screen name except for the amusement of others. Next: Just...
