    Buffett and Gates are becoming frightened of Bitcoin. Tell people to stay away.

    You draw your own conclusions by listening to why others don’t like something. In this case bitcoin itself doesn’t earn anything. Your only hope to profit is by finding a greater fool. That’s a valid point. Nothing they said invalidates the blockchain technology. But it’s likely bitcoin will go...

    Accuracy of IV for Expected Move (for CALLS only)

    Ah. I get it now. I don’t know of a study that showed if upside calls are statistically cheap. That’s been a typical view that skew is overpriced but I think most are trying to monetize the downside more than the upside. Certainly you could find a subset of stocks where upside calls are...

    Want to make 1k / month on 100k, selling options.

    Hahaha. Does options guide actually pitch that? In the example above, if the 60 call is 5 then the 30 put will be 5. So your cost less collar has a risk reward of 2 down,1 up.

    Making 4% a year selling deep OTM covered calls?

    Making 4% a year selling deep OTM covered calls?

    I would not treat selling options as income. It’s no different than treating roulette as income even if you have positive expectancy selling options. If OP wants to sell options because he sees edge there, he should. If he wants income he should purchase an income producing security like...

    The db9 is actually a very good car. They are a little douchey to drive around in but it can be a daily driver. They depreciate a lot so you can get one for like 60k (with the v12 engine)

    black scholes model pricing vs real life pricing

    You are specifically talking about the closed form solution to BSM which requires constant dividends, European exercise, and static vol. No real market maker will use the closed form solution, but I can assure you that pretty much every volatility trader uses Black-Scholes framework for...
