I have been busy with other things and was not following during the recent heated periods of this thread. I could see that the thread seems to be finally back to its normal professional course. Let us keep it that way, and thank those who contributed something useful. I read Mike's criteria...

While waiting for something and checking on markets, I read your post. My guess is that your spread is out of the money, and with volty falling while market rising and time passing, your spread is fighting an uphill battle. Out of the money spreads are long volty, but you know that volty will...

Hi Stanford and Falconview, I have been very busy, and still I am, but I thought to stop by quickly to say hello. I also had to send a response to Stanford's PM which he sent last Friday. I could see a lot of exchanges. Will have to read them. Here are few items I caught and thought to...

I am in a hurry, and just stopped to check what is up in here. (I also have a number of PMs, and I could see that among the number of senders Stanford sent me a PM. Will answer later in the day/evening or tomorrow. I also have some from last evening from others). Now the point: My models...

Are you certain?If yes, I would be interested to know how you found out, as I thought that the OI is known only the next day (tomorrow). Do others here know something about this?

Thanks shortie. Could I ask which are the three SMH stocks? Best wishes!

Mav: A retired fund manager I interacted with recently informed me that a prop firm is offering accounts with no deposits. Do you think it really is possible? What is the catch if any? I visited ( http://www.vtradergroup.com ) ,and I have some questions. Could I ask them here or does it...

Since the semis are lagging, which segment of the QQQQ is pulling them (Qs) higher?

This is another outstanding post! Thank you Mike! You are right that the problems may not be easy to grasp in their own right. The second road block is the applicability of the problems to trading. One still has to formulate a trading problem in terms of a Monty Hall/Secretary problem. I...

I find this an outstanding post! Masterjaz: I have some comments/suggestions that I can make in PMs. If you would be interested let me know. Regards!

Stanford, I noticed something about RUT put options. I am going to send it in a PM. If you think it would be useful to Falconview as well, I can forward it to him. TJ Max!

Michael: My very heart felt sympathies with you in your situation. I hope your planner is well financially so that when you win you recover all/most of what you lost including opportunity cost. If you have the capital and interest, there might be another idea. I cannot write about it here...

1. Do you want to know what they say?:) (They is not semis, but...) 2. I did not read your threads (last two weeks). Should I do some catch up? 3. QLD: why are they hard to get involved into in AH? Check the volume.

Falconview: This is my last post this evening. I decided to post them in a bunch to optimize time. Something that I thought to say and which has been in my head for sometime now. I understand you have made a fortune in real estate. Did it occur to you that options apply to estate as well? You...

1. Hey Stanford: I am amazed at your short yet useful posts. You must be very efficient! Just a question of curiosity: are you in "retirement" like falconview, or are you doing this on the side. If you have access to money connections, did you consider later in time helping others? I read...

1. What is this that strategy? 2. I recall reading earlier on this thread an offer from you to share your timing methods (not in public but via PM/email). I do not remember if it was an offer to Stanford and me, or to Stanford only. If it is to Stanford only, it is fine and I will not be...

1. The amount I bought is zero because I did not get filled. 2. It is not about quarterly or monthly. It just happens that QQQQ have options expiring on sep.30, and also in october (third week), and that the numbers make sense for these two dates. Notice that it is the same market, but...

The market is up in after-hours. My models issued a bearish signal. Since there are no option traded in after-hours, I decided to short it rather than wait until tomorrow in case the market gaps down from current prices. What do you think Falconview?

Prove your claims with evidence/facts. You will likely produce a big fat zero.

No. You mean that puretick is the holder of the record?
