    GNTA high IV

    It's still sitting in T2, which is dissemination. Once it goes to T3, there will be a quote time and a release time. I am reading some stuff that says it isn't quite over for sure just yet, on Yahoo (by a few who know what they are talking about) and in one other place. The uncertainty is...

    GNTA high IV

    Naaahhhh. Don't think twice about it. It was good to have the chance to score. I knew the risks going in and I decided to do it, just like everyone else here. Had I been able to put it on right, I would have had about a 1:7 or better risk reward. I'll take those any day, keep posting away -...

    GNTA high IV

    I stepped in shit in the worst way on this thing. I was putting on the position about 9:45 when the news hit. I was doing the 15/25/30. I had the buys done at at 15 and 30 and was keying in the 25 sells when we started rallying, so I waited a minute, trying to maybe pull a free trade out of...

    how would a US citizen short China?

    It was my supposition that he might have gotten the idea to short China from an interview in the weekend Barron's with Raj Gupta, who runs $1B out of NY. From his interview: *********** Q: So what are the implications of a China fadeout? A: If China fades, then the industrial cycle...

    how would a US citizen short China?

    I don't think any of the international flavored ETFs have options as of yet. The Taiwan ETF should be cheap enough to short on it's own.

    There's usually not a problem, however if you decide to get out in the last hours, you may still pay some time premium. Depending on the stability of the underlying (and the amt of prem they are taking you for), you may find it more beneficial to get assigned and then dump the underlying at the...

    Newbie question for TASR options

    It will be auto-exercised by your broker if you are more than 3/4 pt in the money at expiration. Less than 3/4 and you might get exercised. Pabst is right, but I think he's referring to the period prior to expiration.

    Hello Dollars, I saw that myself. I was thinking of a Fall expiring spread that would play a drop. I was going to do that homework later tonight, but if any of you guys who trade the oil contracts have a suggestion that would save me some time, I would appreciate it. Do you guys just...
