If the government sent anyone making less than 100K annually a 40,000 dollar check wont that stimulate the economy?

You can lower corporate incometaxes to 0 but that would not help. You still cannot beat 87 cents an hour for blue collar jobs in china and 1.50-1.80 for white collar jobs in india etc.. And on top of that you then have to rebuild our hollowed out industrial base. why bother? 87 cents an hour...

How do you create private sector jobs. Americans cannot compete against someone in china making 87 cents an hour or a white collar engineer in india making 1.57 an hour. Nothing the government nor future president can change that.

Obama cannot fix this. This is 25 years in the making. Policies designed to send US jobs out of this country. White and Blue collar jobs.

That would solve this issue and it would be real cheap. They used landmines to secure the berlin wall, putting up a heavy landmine carpet would stop illegal immigration.

I see, this makes more sense. Sort of the Boil the frog slowly plan. We give china the rope and we end up hanging ourselves with it eventually plan.

We are Chinas biggest customers, wont it make more sense to side with the US not NK?

They make money paying 400 an ounce for jewelry and then melting and selling right away for 1000

Amazing how fast those calls went down since I sold them this morning. Why would anyone pay 1.09 for SPY 115s with only 5 days left in a bear market. Delta Gamma Theta Vega Rho Theoretical Value Implied Volatility 0.3115 0.0986 -0.1287 0.0455 0.0047 0.71 *27.27%

I sold the May SPY 115 covered calls on some of the SPY I own for 1.09 a contract. I do not care if I get SPY called away since I got them cheap but it will be an interesting experiement. It seems people are willing to pay for em even with theta almost 15.

SPY Why take the risk, SPY goes up and down and you have no worries about it going down like LEH or BSC.

Another incident again in china with meatcleavers. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/05/11/china.school.attack/index.html?hpt=T1 Is this some new way of controlling the population, Any chinese care to fill in?

I still do not get the low IV's PG could go out of buisness, SPY is 500 stocks so no single equity risk. PG could get sued, or some new CEO comes in ala TYCO style and do all kinds of bad stuff to take the company down etc.. but SPY represents 500 companies so PG is 1/500th of the risk there.

IV sucks and SPY is diversified and has a higher IV. With PG you have risk of one stock VS 500, and better compensation on the SPY options, including better liquidity.

I cashed in all my puts. Nice windfall, I dumped GS stock though.

My puts exploded in value, Looks like the bear market is back.
