Ja, das waren noch Zeiten.

Don! Yes, the same argument can be made for the OTM CC vs. the ITM NP. Cereal, it's not likely that you're going to get those prices. Who's going to sell you the March for below intrinsic value. Probably have to pay the high end to get in. Add .10-.20 to those prices. And on the...

Speaking of singing, they make it sound easy. Buddy Holly wrote it. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oDFGTwKH5kw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

We'll be bigger than Jesus and the Beatles combined!

When talking about the Beatle's success and fame, John Lennon said, "It was a great way to meet women."

OP is trading 100s. Hence, not likely.

I never said that it wasn't a bona fide strategy. "Not likely" refers to the probability that OP might get some. You act as though, somehow, you are contradicting what I wrote. Is "a pure operational SNAFU" a fancy way of saying that they didn't exercise their calls?

I don't know, but it kinda sounds like they missed the deadline exercising their own long calls.

Clearly, you aren't the only one naive here. Consider the synthetic straddle vs. the straddle. Trading the UL, when possible. Selling premium instead of rolling longs. You may find that it is a more efficient way of what you are trying to accomplish. Focus on risk, rather than form...

It would be easy to analyze, had you included the strike. If the call is OTM, then you can assume that it won't be exercised. If the call is ITM with little or no tv by late trading Thursday, then assume that it will be exercised. If the call is near ATM or ITM with tv, then it's likely...

Not likely. The MM probably gets a few, though.

Random's theme song of the moment. :D <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EYbUCvz1LYE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Enough with the sexual innuendos. Not boring to me. That pic has all kinds of character. You're that cool looking young guy? Hey man, you wanna smoke some grass? Er, if we could go back to '71?

107 yesterday, 105 today - 95 at 10am, 101 at noon. 83 at 9pm. Sucky bad weather when it doesn't even cool down in the middle of the night.

I think I saw this on ET a while ago, because generally, I don't watch MMA. The old master's style is called bullshido, I believe. Here's the classic: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gEDaCIDvj6I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Maybe it's hell. That's it. I've died and gone to hell. I knew that I shouldn't have stolen that Christmas tree. But crude beckons. I probably should put some hedges on here.

Message board. Probably an old fashioned term.

To paraphrase a trader from CL Redux, "after 10,000 trades, you're pretty much numb to anything." Of course, there are still those moments of excitement and of agony. And there's always a good deal of frustration as the market does its thing. WTH am I talking about? Seriously, over...

I've been trading 12 years and I couldn't agree more. While beginning, there were little gems from MBs that were helpful, but after awhile, there's nothing new. And I can hardly put forth the brain power to understand what everyone is talking about, anyways. I barely have the strength to...

Good to hear. If poopy ain't right, ain't nothin' right.
