Are there people here who think that today's up gap might lead to a retreating/selloff? Which sectors/stocks/etfs would be good on the short side in a retreat?

Two to three trading days later, NUS Jan 45 calls traded at 0.30 (and possibly even below that price). No draw down, and a gain of 0.45, which is about 30% more than the number 0.35. I would not be surprised if PM still considers his trade of shorting the Jan 30 put some weeks ago (which...

I would not be surprised if a retreat/selloff develops soon. Are there major issues that would serve to explain/trigger it?

How much would you give from your profits betting on people, than things? I am now looking at BMY at 33.65 area, and my models told me sellers area within 5 cents or less.

Badvestor: What do you think of the short side of BMY?

Hajimow: As I wrote in another of your threads(or in response to one of your posts),compared to QQQ and SPY, the behavior of IWM seems to me to be: In a falling market IWM loses less than the SPY which loses less than QQQ. In a rising market IWM does better than SPY which does better than QQQ...

Which do you think involves more risk: short OTM naked call or covered call?

Do you remember your favorite bullish stock? NUS. Jan 45 calls are at 0.75 (more than twice 0.35) Could you find the IV and report it here? Also analyze this paper trade and compare to the other trade: - call, 1/2 size for now.

Why did you quit it? Are you implying that others are not making their income buying the bid and selling the ask as you once did?

Is that the same answer you gave in the other thread or is it the opposite answer? If the answers are opposite, what is your final answer?

Why you do not address the volatility question? Let us compare your cushion to a 30inch pillow that you can imagine you have put on your nose as if protecting against a punch. The 30inch might be safe if a gentle woman is doing the punching, but what if it were a Muhammed Ali in his prime...

Should you not replace IS by WAS?

The question is when will it be filled: in days, weeks, months, etc?

Actually they may not be deep if one factors volty in, i.e. a 30% OTM may not be viewed as deep for a 90% volty stock (SPY has below 16% lately, so a ratio of more than 5 times). I asked in another thread how does the OTM safety cushion is measured in absolute terms-- the response was some...

The opposite would take place. I did not read the article. Could someone give the conclusion?

That was a great trade! What was the intrinsic when you got in? When do you think MCD is heading to in next 2 to three days?

Would there be a chase?

I went long side of VXX at 27.50. What can you anticipate for my reward and risk?

Why are people buying? I am now looking at the price of mcd. It is at 90.60. What is in the mind of its buyers?
