So Citigroup wants to buy its taxpayer funded jet. Somehow the man hears about this calls the CEO and tells him to "Fix it" click.. heh.

I bet it could be done, everything can be priced and traded on the markets. Someone is just not ballzy enough to try. Maybe OTC non standarized contracts on the curb somewhere, open outcry. Put a post on the street and a guy with a suit/tie and hat with a big sign. Berkshire options desk.

I am already used to the way things are. :) We can change all our keyboards to dvorak layout as well.

Or a LEAP into profits with LEAPS :)

Yes I sell insurance to scared investors, just doing my civic duty. I hedge by keeping a diversified portfolio of puts or calls (or both), and I am very careful about risk management and I carefully calculate the values of all contracts to squeeze out the most buck and give myself the most...

Those MM's are idiots. I am 1 penny away from their ask, take it or leave it. the other guys are offering a penny less. I refuse to budge. Better that penny today because tomorrow I will bid a penny lower. bird in hand worth two in the bush. Gonna go watch Judge Judy.

I guess the buyer is saying hello. Time decay is a bitch and IV dropping + a few pennies at best of intrinsic value, although it is OTM by 5 cents today. House edge goes to the writer with this high IV and subsequent IV collapses. I also wrote 13 calls on GE thursday before earnings...

I write leaps. I have a limit order now to buy a bunch of leaps to close (79% gain) :)

Bad advice, poor guy is going to lose more money and make the writers richer :)

Your options will expire worthless. Sorry, you ended up putting money in the option writers pocket. Curious what date did you buy this option and how much did you pay? Hopefully this was at risk money that you were not counting on. Curious what was your reasoning behind that trade?

Brokers/Money managers cannot be trusted. I manage my own money. Anyone who has money better read and educate yourself. You cannot trust a stranger with your own hard earned money.

Despite efforts by local authorities to hunt him down, “Osama” had evaded them moving from place to place, hiding in forests and tea estates in the northern parts of Assam. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16248233/

We went from the greatest generation willing to sacrafice for the good of a nation. To the dumbest generation in the span of a few decades. How the heck did this happen. I see this as a potential bullish sign. I would go long on the oil companies again (XOM,BP,CVX) "Press says the...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28616499/ Looks like Americans forgot about high oil prices. Same thing happened in the last oil crisis.

Etrade will fill AON options orders. ie: if you see a bid 1.02 ask 1.05 and stick a AON sell to open 30 contracts smack in the middle limit 1.03 You will get filled if the bid hits or crosses 1.03 and there is enough open orders.

Last I heard tarp money was used for BAC to buy Merrill Lynch and overpay for the purchase. I also heard tarp bought 1.9 million in renovations for the Merrill Lynch CEO and bonuses for all Involved. 90% of the Tarp money did not go into the economy, it was squandered into bad investments...

That butterfly was a bad bet in my opinion. Funny is I wrote a bunch of calls on my prexisting GE stock yesterday with a strike of 13 for Feb. at 1.36 Cash in on that Theta :) (I wrote puts for 13 for GE FEB as well cash secured to either acquire new shares or capture premium. ) My...

You got to be joking. Did you forget to even add the splits It would have been 120 in 87 if GE never split it would be trading at 288 today not considering the dividends into the equation. In 82 Ge in sept would have been 74 bucks Today if it did not split since 82 would be trading...

IF GE would drop to lets say 11 a share. Since GE has 48 billion of cash on the balance sheet they could buy a big chunk of the company back, that would be a shit load of outstanding float since GE market cap at 11 would be less that 125 billion. It could potentially cut float to lets say...

GE is awesome. It is the most liquid stock in town. :) Look at the kickback now. I will probably get put GE at 13 but I got some nice premiums for my troubles. I will probably write calls 1 point in for a month forward :) A few 2million or more block trades just crossed. GE will...
