I like zb around 142, this mkt is pretty dead so far.

don't know if you saw this thread, there was an implication that these guys aren't really hedging at all, interesting. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=234610&perpage=40&highlight=garachen&pagenumber=2

aapl is a beast today right at pivot point. Mav have you read this thinking of picking it up: http://www.amazon.com/Oils-Endless-Bid-Unreliable-Economy/dp/0470915625/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295887680&sr=8-1MT

My comment was in no way directed at you. I think you are trading very well. Atticus is well worth listening to, one of the best option traders I have ever seen. I take issue with falcon comparing you two as you are both in different places. People irritate me when they throw the word "edge"...

aapl rolling if it gets above 500 lookout!

wow you have no fu^&in idea what you are talking about, this is one of THE dumbest statements I have ever seen on this board, I will let you figure out why.....:mad:

Herb Greenberg talking bout tvix, LOL!

aapl getting bid here

aapl weekly

This just in, its being reported that Jeremy Lin was responsible for the aapl selloff, he was seen "selling size" on his iphone between shootarounds. Mr Lin could not be reached for comment. Chuck Norris is aware of the situation and is said to be planning a "counter strategy".

you know today was the day when some poor slob said I can't take it anymore and went all in long on aapl.....:p

Here was the quote I am paraphrasing. "Why do you take a loss quickly? Cut the loser real quick, what you are trying to do is create the opportunity for that win to come along"

first ten minute close on aapl was .......315 I think it will close below that 50% chance I am wrong,LOL.

question is where is the next logical short. vol like this is a pendulum that will cut you either way. Keep those losses small. I was watching a video and the guy was saying you should keep losses small so you can hopefully catch the next trend, hard to do if are praying for a scratch, plus...

the thing is the fed has locked themselves in here. They literally told the mkt they would keep rates low, zb well over 143 and there is no real vol scare, what's gonna happen the next time some news shock hits. On a weekly chart aapl has gone parabolic.

we just about touched 1360, 1260 is doable and the bull is still intact. Hardly a world ending correction, mkt seems a little frothy here to me. :)

like you said long bonds, where do you think bonds will be if we dump 100 points on spx, just sayin.

interesting I remember the big option guys were always hedging with the spx contract. I would assume most institutional market makers aren't holding a couple thousand eminis, size punters on et are a different story though. I think the poster may have been asking is acd scalable. I will let you...

This is a great subject. There were some articles last year about how Paulson (the hedge fund manager) was in the unenviable position of having other hedge funds trade against him soley due to his size. I may have posted this. Look at John Arnold taking down the canadian guy, they knew what...

We went thru all this before, people want the mkt to be an atm machine. I know I do, the mkt is rude that way. The op is perversely undercapitalized, basically he was told that being long straddles was not an edge unless vega increased and/or vol exploded. He had a winning trade at some point...
