The SnP cash is bumping up to the recent high.. should be interesting

LoL Mup, you got me

Gasoline is going up even with crude at these slightly lower levels no help there.

Jim Cramer is in the business of getting TV ratings, he does that job very well. The fact he's discussed so often on these boards and others proves he does his job well. I am sure they have companies lining up to buy add time on his show and thats the bottom line.

Nice post well said.. the "more buyers... " is sort of a joking statement. IN fact sure there are two sides to each trade but on days like today the buyers are more varied and the sellers are generally the liquidity providers. I like your analogy on stocks, for what my 2 cents is worth

New Quarter New Money

Right its always a plot against the little guy

More buyers then sellers, its a supply and demand thing

There are many firms around who specialize in that end of the business. The only one that comes to mind off the top of my head is a place like V-trader. Many places will give you “portfolio margining” on many options products. Reg X was enacted several years ago but it had a very high...

He gets fantastic ratings on TV his show is not going anywhere

That might move the market momentarily, but no where near 5 to 10 handles. Don’t forget that the ES can be arb'd vs. the big SnP futures contract and vs. the cash itself and as soon as that relationship gets out of line there will be people ( firms ) who step in and drive that back. Think...

The puts have the dividend priced in so when the stock falls by the dividend amount after xdiv the puts will not go up in value. You're not really doing any dividend capture with those plays. As I said dividend capture is really about trying to get into the pool of OI which inefficiently does...

The markets just comfortable with these levels. Its not exactly low for the VIX these days but as you noted well off the highs and dropped a bit in lower markets. We break 1300 in the cash and I will creap back up. SnP Options volume been pretty lame too.

Surdo, His responses are all over the map from "illiquid new markets" to gold products to options time spreads with stock and futures to secret 10 minutes arbs. The bottom line is he cant keep it real. Retail guys are not doing arbs. In all fairness I didnt expect him to lay out the exact...

LOL i figured as much. You started by saying the arbs were in the thin traded "new" markets. What are the thin traded "new" markets you do every day? Just trying to keep it real

The two golds are not fungiable and I really doubt there was much of an arb since that market is well known. As far as arbing with a calendar spread stock and futures you're not talking about thinly traded markets. In this day and age I doubt there is much if any arb there across 3 markets...

Illiquid markets and arbs? Like what?

30 minutes lol come on

He was a bit player with the mets his ball career was much bigger with the Phillies. The funny thing is when you see a picture of him with the mets and then with the phillies, his head grew 5 sizes and he bulked up 40 pounds.
