There's no way to know if those May 2.5 puts are someone betting on the stock dropping, hedging their stock or using them as part of a larger option strategy. And even if you could know, what good would it do you? It would have no relevance to the FDA's decision. As you've seen before, the...

Last count was that he had you on ignore 43 times with responses by him every time you posted. Does that make it pretend ignore? BTW, I had to laugh when I saw him promoting himself elsewhere and providing a link to this thread. Somebody's mama needs to give RFT a swift boot in his...

Ummm, I believe that it's pyscho-phantic and omni-impotent :)

Ummm, like isn't that the whole point of all his post? Who else but a noob would be susceptible to being scammed out of a fee for trading advice? BTW, I'm waiting to read that RFT has removed me from Ignore because I spelled some word correctly. Could it be A-hole? (delooshunell is way too...

Welcome to the "I'm bored and have nothing better to do" club :)

Jjacks, When airlines hedge the cost of fuel, they're hedging something that they know about. If fuel costs "X" then profit is "Y". So they hedge to keep their business going. But when you buy puts on the competition, you're making a bet on another company's management, labor, etc. not...

Do yourself a favor concentrate on finding another job. Take part of the $500 you're willing to lose and invest it in some good option texts and spend your free time learning everything that you can about stocks and options. Consider it retraining. If you need a thrill or a quick hit, go...

And FWIW, I have a trading system that's worth selling, at least on past performance. Well, it would be worth something to the buyer and I can back it up with a legitimate 15 month trading performance involving 1000's of trades as well as a 631 page Schedule D - tho I'm not sure that 15 months...

It's not rocket science to spot the pattern of double talk, market secrets that only he has available by PM, ad nauseum. All that's missing are the Live Trades posted the day after they closed. Even Xflat recognized the pattern, despite the fog from the hockey stick hit to his head (wink)

All it takes is calling bullsh*t bullsh*t. You can do it! (from "The Waterboy")

Jjacks, Of course there's an insurance cost to hedging. Nothing is for free. Hedging is no exact science and it often sounds much better on paper than it is in reality. If you have ever tried to hedge long stock with long puts or collars when the stock was on the way down, you probably...

If it's 3-4 days before expiration, the call at one strike higher than the ATM put will be worthless and no viable collar will be available.

In a perfect world, companies could and should do whatever they can to maximize profit. So it would be a good idea for them to "buy Puts on the overall market and/or competitors/other businesses in the same industry." Yes, in the current environment they would have looked smart had they done...

Someone with no track record promoting a scheme of options mentoring for a fee shouldn't take the word of anyone on this board for anything? ROFLMAO !

Hey, now there's a plan. Not only will we be able converse about options without your convoluted jibberish filled responses but if we can get everyone to piss you off, you'll have everyone on ignore and no one to talk to here except your multiple handles. "Doos" me a favor and put me on...

It isn't just here. It's all across the interent on every financial BB. Now look what you've gone and done. You've going to be punished and put on his ignore list. LOL....

These guys can ruin in circles all they want but if they're dealing with options, there's no what the insurance "should cost" but only what the insurance "will cost" since the marketplace determines the premiums.

Instead of wagering money on a guess on direction, trade the XLF or other financial favorite and ride the momentum.... but always remember to dance near the door.

Put-call parity has nothing to do with collars. Collars involve options at different strikes whereas put-call parity refers to the arbitrage argument b/t prices of European puts and calls on the same underlying, strike and expiration. Beware of those possessing the mysterious answer that...

If there was such a thing as a free collar from the outset, there would be no need for any other type of trading. The only way to get a free collar is to leg in to the position after a move in your favor.
