yeah i did, the actual iv #s doesnt matter too much for me, as long as the comparison between current/1week/1month is accurate and calculated the same way. They look to be fine after comparing with optionsxpress and fidelity, thanks guys.

IT'S HERE! wow amazon got it out super fast. I was expecting at least a few months since the engadget rumor, but it's live now. Free instant streaming for $79 a year prime membership which include 2nd day free shipping. This is big, their library isnt half bad for day 1. nflx watch out!

Exactly. Everytime someone mentions how china is kicking our ass, you always have the same sheeps who still believe it's the same china 30 years ago, and love to bury their head in the sand and justify our failures by pointing at china and yapping about their regulation/safety/crappy...

This is how you do infrastructure projects. Meanwhile in the US, citing budget concerns a much needed new tunnel linking NJ to manhattan was canceled AFTER wasting $700 MILLION already. Add insult to injury, it took the chinese FOUR years from start to finish to build the 27mile...

Does anyone know how accurate is ivolatility's IV numbers. I need a way to check a stock's IV now vs 1 week vs 1 month ago etc..to see how expensive it currently is..on my phone. ivolatility.com fits the bill pretty well but have doubts about their accuracy. For example nvda it has...

ask yourself 2 question: 1) What will the p&l of your position looks like when WINN stock moves either up or down 2) What will you do when WINN stock moves either up or down. If you dont know the answer to those 2 questions, exit the position immediately. Short straddle can quickly...

when did you join the et nutjob club, lost a big trade recently?

Give me a fucking break, who in their right mind will dick around with a keyboard less tablet for business. You are so full of it.

It's not just the hardware stupid, the elegance of apple products are lost to many. The last thing i want is to lug around a piece of shit windows 7 os on an "easy mode" touch tablet. I have the 64bit version on the pc and it constantly crashes its own product - outlook 2010 64bit, too many...

oh snap, you better watch out. Those "chinks" are sending their women to castrate your inbred redneck ass! lol <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1X3Vyhm56Eo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

To pay for 2x OTM call with your 1x ATM call requires you to go 2+ strikes otm with a big gap in the middle, which will increase the probability of a loser if the underlying stops in between as you said. On the other hand if you try to narrow the gap by not going way otm, you ended up with a...

didnt work.. but in general, i dont think writing a 0.08 $12 strike with 1 month left is ever a good idea, especially when the underlying was only 13% away before earning. If you wanted to play the downside in this case, should just bought 13P, not everything has to be a spread.. i mostly...

Not to mention building anything in the US is infinitely more bureaucratic and political. Imagine the shit that has to be wade through to get this done - eminent domain suits, site studies, environmental studies, urban planning studies, community group meetings and approvals, union...

lol 7% jump on android news and short covering. 100 p/e, lets go! :D 250 is a key level though.

Are those guys out of their fucking mind? I am a huge fan of infrastructure projects as a way to stimulate the economy/employment. But in our current situation where the BASIC functions of society - police/fire forces, teachers, and schools are getting cut by as much as 50% all over the...

yeah i plugged all of them into the graph, cant find the right combo to play with. maybe after pe goes to 100.

Go with 200x 2013 4.5C instead. I have 10% of my ira in that position. If market holds, citi should start to come back by end of this year, stock likely to move before that. It's one of the more well run banks now on the street after the reorg, and it will benefit from its significant...

atticus, what about 150/200/300? you pay $6-7 more but less negative vega (since iv will go up if prediction is a falling underlying) and more downward protection. also if you dont mind, what rule do you use to determine exit? i am thinking since this is such a wild stock, as soon as the...

LOL :D

Will definitely be getting the ipad2 to complete my apple set. I was sure the original ipad was doomed for failure since it was just a bigger ipod but now i see the value of having such device to quickly check email/stocks/web as you lay in bed or on a sofa. Sometimes you just dont want to sit...
