+1 Yes, as usual, convexx. Thanks. It's always good to be reminded how to trade.

A couple of other problems with CL. The month to month roll. 4 expiries per year (ES) seems like a luxury. And with the monthly options, trying anything cal. or diag. gets you trading the spread, as well. I don't know how to trade the spread, so I rarely have done those kinds of trades -...

I remember that terrible morning of 9/11 as well. TV news reporters in shock, as well as the rest of us. I had relatives in Manhattan that day. They later told stories of fleeing from the dust clouds that rolled up the canyons of lower NYC. My East Coast relatives also lost a few friends...

Yeah, good post. Been thinking about that and any post that gets me thinking is a good one. Also convexx's thread, especially the assym. formations. And yes, often a simple spread will do. Good points, RR. Often, hedging seems win/win, but it really gets in the way sometimes. I mean, you...
