The *safest* thing to do is be on the horn with your broker. Go step-by-step. Watch closely as things happen, and check to see that the actions that come to pass are as were represented to you. Lastly, keep track of any Change Of Resolution notices sent out in the future -- not so much the...

Nope!! After lunch rumors, at 1pm Marco Rubio kicks tax bill joy-joy right in the nuts. Now confirmed. Dang it. :mad:

:thumbsup::D:thumbsup: Ohmigod. That is so "spit-take" worthy.... :D:D:D

It's not about managing winners *or* losers at all. It's about, "Where is the best place for my capital right now?" That's it. [mic drop.]

That's a broker question. The specifics will all differ, place to place.

qwxr -- in all sincerity -- "We are only insulted by those we respect." This is a forum of/for people engaged in a pretty stressful activity, whose brains tend to be going a mile-a-minute all the time. When they come upon nonsense and non-sequitors, it is annoying, to say the least. But that is...

Don't forget that your margin will increase massively with the infusion of the ES→cash, so (but it's been a while!!!) I think "No fears." (OH AND!!! Technically, those won't be naked calls anymore, as the market has stopped trading them. So, they're a *liability*, but a fixed/known one. (As of...

Noooo, no no no. Look at qxrs's other posts. :confused: You won't take offense. ;) You'll just shake your head...... :rolleyes:

o_O Cuckoo. :rolleyes: :cool:

Ooops. I hope I didn't break the internet with that one..... But, "Gotta go!"

You and George, Neo. You and George..... Very nice.

Dude -- as Neo wrote, that's a market, not a Ponzi. "Use [The Force of] Finance 101." o_O

"Bzzzt!" {that's that buzzer thingie...} 1) It can't go to zero: dilution =/= "Ponzi", Mr. Peks. 2) Again, not the Ponzi model. Nope. o_O

VIX and VXST are downward; TRIN is edging towards neutral. This smells of an 11:40 Euro-turn.

Bitcoin is not a Ponzi. A Ponzi is a specific mathematical form, dependent on outflows structured to be greater than current assets (plus perpetual return) allow. And thus requiring new assets -- new members be added. That is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small-moated service that has found...

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. :wtf::p (And yes, it's logarithmic.)

No, it's most certainly not common for the SPX/ES. As noted above, the average turnover saw ~ minus 7-8 pts with a new front month. For the S&P right now, at 2663.5, the ES Mar'18 contract was ~ 3.25 pts higher throughout the day -- not at 2655, but 2666. There's a positive 3 pts. To flip...

Some thoughts... -- Since this current [SPX] upswing can be broadly traced to Jan/Feb 2016, it's pretty hard for rational people to term it a "Trump Rally". -- "Divided Government" most certainly produces happier markets, going back (empirically) a couple of generations. (Since I'm a nerd...

If we're voting, I'm definitely voting with market-wide volatility changes. "Ohhhh Yeah!" :cool: But too, for a lesser-traded underlying, don't forget that passing interest/market fluctuations will change bid, ask, bid-volume, ask-volume, blah blah blah.... So the greater market 'fair' price...
