When you see implied vols this high you just NOT its time to sell short straddles. You can even sell deep in the money ones very profitably, and have a TON of protection no matter which way it breaks...

Someone put me on to him at a marriage last night. Said he is like the #1 stock picker and what not. Seems legit as heck: https://www.tipranks.com/bloggers/top IMPRESSIVE returns. Anyone just buy what he recommends? In whole or in part? Following his leads might be even more profitable...

Sell both, use the premiums you collect on both to offset risk on both. Profit.

Thank you ph1l! So are those generally like inflation protected bond funds? If so, do they really work to protect against inflation? If so, do they just PROTECT you against inflation, or do they allow you to make a bunch of $$$ off it? I'd like protection, but I want FAT PROFITS even more...

Oh I hear you and agree 100% ironchef. I posted this story the other day, not sure if you saw it. I eat at Luby's cafeteria a lot (cafeteria down here in Texas, maybe other places). Their main platter is a Lu-Ann platter - like a meat, two veggies and a bread. Waaaay back in the early 1990s...

I am convinced inflation is coming. And HARD. Like late 70s/early 80s type stuff, probably worse. If you believed same, and wanted to make as much possible money as you can on it, where would you put your money? I'm not talking short straddles here, these types of one-way bets are probably...

"not a fire and forget trade".... LOL, like I said it wasn't in my INTIAL FREAKING POST on this thread???? You literally cannot make this shait up....

Dude, are you seriously saying that MY post is a troll post? This thread I mean? LOL, that is hilarious if so. I CLEARLY explained the whole logic behind it in my initial post and subsequent posts. I advise you to re-read my initial post and my subsequent posts to completely follow it. Its...

How do they add assets in the fund if people are shorting the shares? I guess the market makers that keep the price in line with the underlying by issuing/buying back shares just issue new shares to those shorts, take their own money, hand it over to the ETF, with the ETF then using those funds...

OP what you said sound right on. Inflation is coming back, I don't know when, but soon. Maybe a year or two off, who knows. But when it comes, and come it will, it will be BRUTAL...

Damn, thanks for making me feel even sadder Overnight. :(

I remember my girl having a friend at work telling her about this new bitcoin thing, and asking me whether she should put a little money in it. I told her no it sounded like a scam. This is when it was BRAND NEW, first I'd or most people I'm sure had ever heard of it. I LITERALLY caused her...

Come on, we both know, at heart, traders just want to make money like anyone else. I've shown how to do it. If that is not "trading" in your mind, that's your issue, not his...

LOL, great minds think alike!!!

Short straddles, pure and simple.

But wasn't he like "let's all buy gamestop to drive these short sellers bankrupt!!!"? I don't like the regulators trying to come down on this guy at all, but that is quite a bit more than a calculated profitable bet.

Use almost always midprice now. I check after it fills against the price at finance.yahoo.com, and never filled at a bad price thus far.

Saw an add for them coming up the elevator today. Reading about them now. But anyone have any takes on them, good or bad? Thanks.

1. IV - I eyeball it. What does that even mean lol? These dork equations don't come into play. 2. You are thinking like a loosey-goosey trader. I am thinking about a mathematician. I'm not trying to predict the stock market, just print money...

I want in on commodies. Can anyone suggest good funds/etfs (or stock) to start dollar cost averaging into them? Thanks!
