Hmmm. Any chance that you have tool envy??? :)

Don't fight the half-aisle-wide, lard ass women. Buy twice as many snacks and join em!

The name is Bot, James Bot.

OK, my bad. Mommy really wouldn't tie him up in the basement. But doncha think that maybe she should limit his time on the computer and ET?

I have no clue as to whether you genuinely want to help your friends or whether you're looking for approval from them. Either way, does it really matter? If your system is good, make lots of money. They'll definitely approve of the gift from you of a bottle of wine that costs more than $3 :)

The less you know, the more that you can learn here and the more you know, the more you get to laugh a lot :)

C'mon now. Do you really think that mommy has him tied up in her basement?

Is there any chance that the losers are doing the counting? :) If you were making good money from trading, would it matter to you what other people were doing?

Is this Comedy Central? ROFLMAO!

If you get a secret decoder ring you can turn the BS into B$

Oh Mark, you have to understand that you were on Pretend Ignore. You end up there every time that you demonstrate to readers what nonsense DOOS posts. That's your punishment for knowing something about options - plus he was way to busy with his new alias handles to have time for you :)

continued... The Jan 2010c/May 12.5 diagonal would be down about a buck as of yesterday's close compared with the $1.80 loss on your ATM CC write. Don't interpret this as an "I told you so". No one knew that the stock would drop. But it did and it demonstrates why I think that standard...

Comparing some of these hedging ideas today might be a good learning lesson. BAC closed yesterday at $8.02 down $2.60 from when we were discussing it. With your May 11c dropping 80 cts, your net paper loss since then is about $1.80 (ignoring the gain from the stock's appreciation). The...

I'll be back later. I gotta go work on my Chicken Little voice... :)

What's to know? Bet big, win or lose big :) Cancer drugs are nasty to be on the wrong side of. FWIW, take a look at the last time DNDN popped 10+ pts

LOL. I know that feeling of getting good news the night before and then being unable to sleep for more than an hour at a time, continually looking at the clock to see if it's time to get up. Of course, the fact that it was dark out might have been a tell (g). It's a mix of "It's going to be a...

That was a stunning performance by Susan Boyle. BTW, who's the blond judge?

There's no arb opportunity. The borrow rate for C is a bit over 100% so at $3.65 that's about a penny plus a day. With June expiration 61 days away, that accounts for the difference.

Ignoring the options, you have 5,000 shares at a cost of $5.50 with a $5+ gain. Personally, I'd take that kind of profit and run but since this is an option bedtime story, here's another possible approach. You wrote for 51 cts last month and you're chasing 71 cts this month. While you get...

I felt that way 30+ years ago when I first met options. The crash of '87 cured me of that. Never be 100% confident in anything in the market. You might want to hedge that bet just in case it turns out to be 99% (g). FWIW, you can write puts against short positions if you want an income...
