    Dividend Arbitrage

    hehe, its amazing how many folks do not seem to realize the put has the dividend included in the premium or the calls have the dividends priced out of the premium. All they need to do is a little bit of math.

    Earnings season : Alcoa, INTC, GE, JPM

    Looks like funds are buying GE since they are running out of stocks to buy and for current levels GE seems reasonably priced for someone with a long term horizon. I mean do you really want to keep increasing your positions in C,BAC etc.. :)

    California in deep doodoo asking for federal aid. where is the business outflow?

    So obviously these taxes do not seem to hurt them. They can pay these huge taxes and still live like kings. Just being a contrarian.

    Why don't rich people manage their own money?

    Until the till is empty. Look at all the stories about people losing everything because it turns out the advisor stole your cash. ie: Madoff etc.. It is one thing to outsource shit like lawn mowing etc.. but once your wealth is gone, it is gone. Maybe my mindset is different who knows but...

    California in deep doodoo asking for federal aid. where is the business outflow?

    I find it quite interesting that as long as the weather is good and the strip clubs abound, you can tax the shit out of buisness and they would not leave. This is why I think the theory is bunk tax = buisness leaves since even if you tax the hell out of business they still stay in the highest...

    Why don't rich people manage their own money?

    Because a large portion did not have to work too hard for it, usually the got the money as an inheritance or were born in the right family so they are hooked up right away with a position in a company where they just get paid a huge salary. etc.. So since they did not have to sweat it they...

    Just be careful. Dont go around chasing IV. Sometimes it is better to sell lower IV with lower risk but profit than chase a higher profit but big risk of loss. Imagine the folks who went short put LEH because they saw high IV :) High IV is good if you determine ahead of time if the options...

    California in deep doodoo asking for federal aid. where is the business outflow?

    A question, how is it that a state with the highest state income taxes and sales taxes and all kinds of rules and regulation seem to attract so much business? Not only that but a very high cost of living for its employees...

    I agree. If you cannot make money in the options market now you really should think of sticking just to equities. Even 2010 is starting out to be a nice year again :)

    Markets up because Dodd is out.

    Yes. But Dodd was holding down the bull due to fear of his fingers in the cookie jar. Obama and his GS/C Alumni has pretty much provided more than enough liquidity to keep the markets going up but with dodd out of the picture it will be a big help. He wanted to mess too much with things...

    Markets up because Dodd is out.

    Dodd leaving is pushing equity prices up. If we can get gridlock in the congress it would be even better for the markets. We need a 50/50 mix so that nothing happens for the nest couple of years.

    Switzerland millionaire hit by record speed fine

    295K that is nothing. He probably spends that on coke and hookers in one week. A 250K ticket for him is like a teacher paying 60 dollar speeding ticket. So don't feel so bad.
