Do you know of anybody know of any instance where someone got defaulted on in the options market? Has it ever happened? I know the clearing houses are supposed to prevent this, but sometimes I wonder what happens if an OTM option writer blows up sky high. The clearing house steps in a takes...

omg the ending is so great.

AKS is better.

Sure its possible. Thinkorswim for one doesn't care about net worth for accounts. As long as you have enough cash youre good.

ORLY?

I am thinking about fading this one. When was the last time the market started +122 points and went straight up for the rest of the day? All this only because Asia is following Friday's short covering rally up? Its almost a risk free profit on this one.

Red of course. Let see we had awful news friday and the market went down 200 and then had a nice short covering rally. There aren't going to be any sustaining upward bids over 8600, after Friday's horrible jobs numbers. I think we go below 8k this week. Alot will depend on the auto bailout of...

What makes you think the rich are doing bad? The middle class are the ones getting crushed, the rich are doing fine. Maybe better than ever if their smart. Deflation is good for rich ppl, since their money is worth more.

Just short YM. I dunno of any bookmakers that are taking bets on the unemployment numbers. I also think the market will tank 600 + points on the numbers.

I bet $ its going to be 7%+. 7.4% to be exact.

If you believe PO is imminent you should be preparing for SHTF. There are no good PO plays right now in the equity markets IMO. On the way up there should be some, but might as well bet on CL contracts. I think oil could go as low as 29 dollars a barrel, but not much lower. Keep in mind that PO...

Something about dukascopy just doesn't feel right to me either. Why not go with IB assuming you are 21 or older?

Yes thats what happens if they sell their last bar.

Its always a fade day as far as Im concerned. Too much event risk going long.
