    short selling stocks

    The bid is the highest offer to buy shares. He doesn't have the shares. He wants the shares. In order to sell short to him, you need to borrow the shares. It's illegal to do so unless you borrow the shares (naked shorting).

    LOL. 35% is a bargain :) The current borrow rate on C and GM are over 100%

    Hey RISKFREETRADING! Thanks for stopping by to spam me with your latest alias handle. How are the pyschos with no life doing? Ya know, GODY, GODY2, GODY3, HE KNOWS NOTHING, SYSTEM LORD and GOD JUST GOD? Oops, they're all you. Are you being a good boy and taking your meds?

    Just sharing my experience

    I checked all numbers. My calcs for all previous years were correct. I made what I made and I paid the correct amount of taxes. With no difference, there's no reason to refile. I have decided not to elect MTM status. Net loss dedeuctions are limited to $3,000 per year and since I don't...

    Box arbitrage on Sears options

    Skeptical is the right approach. Most of the time, if it looks too good to be true it is. While it proves nothing, I used to look for conversions and reversals. I found some but I could never get size nor was the return worth the time spent looking. My conclusion was that it was just...

    Box arbitrage on Sears options

    There are no free lunches. And DMO should get royalties from ET for sharing his Sears adventure over and over with those seeking a free lunch :)

    Does that PEG order avoid the adjustment/cancellation fee?

    What is wrong with cheating on someone?

    ROFLMAO. I'm a lifelong independent and it never ceases to amaze me how pious some Republicans are. Hypocritical too. Any chance you're one of them?

    Weird things in the world of trading

    I trade a lot of pairs. Sometimes it's intraday, sometimes they live for days to weeks. I set one up on 4/09 because there was a good value disparity as well as to capture a pending dividend on ABC. I traded some of it during the week, captured the dividend on 4/15 and then began scaling...

    Straddles on earnings?

    While it's potentially a large risk, it's not unlimited risk. You can manage that risk by being aware of the amount of pre earnings IV expansion as well as the historical contraction post EA and modeling the data to know the approximate break even points. With that info, you can buy or short...

    Where did the "90% are losers myth come from?

    Instead of all of the alias handles, why not just stick with INTERNET TROLL? Or if you want to sound a little more avant-garde, how about ET TROLL ?

    Rolling up covered calls

    In a vacuum, it might be... if all you were looking at was risk/reward. You have to select the strategies that line up with your outlook for the underlying. Then you have to select the one whose risk/reward spectrum best fits your profit objective and loss tolerance. A calendar tends to...

    Where did the "90% are losers myth come from?

    If you proved to me that 9 out of 10 lost in the market I would care just as much as if you proved to me that 9 out of 10 win in the market. I don't trade because of what other people do. I don't care if they're smarter than me or not. What I do care about is generating a yield that exceeds...

    I met a good trader recently, 15 year pro, and he never heard of ET

    Well kiddies, the great thing about this troll SPACE who started this thread is that it takes no effort to make him look like a moron because he does all of the heavy lifting for you. I got another PM from him tonight which I didn't bother to read before I deleted. It follows a succession of...

    Rolling up covered calls

    What I would is irrelevant. If you're comfortable with the potential gain and risk of your new position then it's a decent play.

    Closing out a straddle

    If IV inflated prior to the earnings announcement, it generally deflates right after the release. As a general rule of thumb, IV will contract immediately and continue to contract at a slower rate during the day, assuming that there's no stunning news, good or bad. Again, in general, long...
