Does anyone else get the feeling that an account-destroying "perfect storm" is brewing? Higher leverage, low volatility, no significant market moves for years, many newbies, Cramer, Kramer, booyuh, CNBC New Highs Hats, lots and lots of OTM index spreaders, thousands of new hedgie cowboys...

I don't know about better, but foreign wimmin are certainly hairier and smellier... :-/

You might look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Commodity-Futures-Options-Step/dp/0273626426/sr=11-1/qid=1168007226/ref=sr_11_1/102-8291153-6952116 Pretty basic, but may be useful to you.

I...ahem...may have said something like this b4: Buy 'em When They Tank! Put $$$'s In the BANK!!!! :cool:

Heh. Ever see one o' them poor Down's types, square head and all, really concentrating and "thimking" about how to tie their shoes? Reminds me of thorny looking at charts and making calls! :p Jez messin' with ya thorn-boy! :D Good trading! :cool:

Oh for the day when they are irrelevant. Wait, they already are! :p

Yeah, the whole idea of a $2995 seminar to learn option strategies is just galling. The phrase "sucker born every minute" comes to mind. Sure, if you go to the seminars you will learn about options. But for gosh sakes just go to Amazon and type in "Options Books". Or go to the library or...

I happened to be reading ET when it happened. I missed some of it, but what happened (AFAIK) was yet another blowup with Magna. And as we all know, Mag takes no crap, no prisoners, and will ban you, your spouse, your kids, your dog, and all your deceased relatives. :D Look for risk over...

Yes, there are no fewer than 16 complaints on deceptive practices logged at ripoffreport.com. There are also rebuttles, so it is NOT onesided. Also, according to some, Optionetics is in a related group of companies. And in that group are such outfits like Wizetrade and 4X Made Easy. Yeah...

Banned from ET. I think most of the related posts have been deleted.

Spirit of the Season and all that, I guess! :D

I should say even though I am cheering "our" ET guys Mav and the late great riskarb, in "The Great Options Battle", I actually do like the Optionetics site and a lot of the writers. There is some good info there and many good traders. I encourage anyone interested in trading options to check...

A reasonable assessment imho. I think the biggest problem over *there* is that they don't always know who they are talking to. They recruit ex MMs and experienced op guys to teach these seminars, but they forget that many out there have just as much experience and could have a very solid...

This quote from Kramer says a lot: "Alex is more than capable of handling and winning this one himself. I learned a long time ago the old adage.... “Never get into a fight with a dolt. They will drag you down to their level and beat the heck out of you with experience”. You were...

Damn right. Definitely helps pass the time... Best to all. :cool:

I'm off work this week, so what could be better than a ringside seat at a heavyweight option battle? Nuttin', that's what! :D

Looks like they got: Even the "$5k Bet" was just predicated on "subtle" differences like exercise and margin...well Duh. :p But you see, Joe and Suzy Sixpack would never pay $3,000 to be told about a synthetic. Won't sell on Main street. All they know is about buying stock...
