There's a 30 minute gap in the chart for JUN that's kinda weird.

There's bid/ask activity on the JUN10 now. It looks like MAR10 expired.

LOL I just posted the same question on that other thread. You're right there's no action but I can't find a reason why.

You guys got me curious about KOSPI so I subscribed to the Korean data and pulled up the KOSPI MAR10 futures contract. Supposedly the market just opened 10 minutes ago (0900 Korean time) but there's no movement.

Inherited wealth doesn't hurt either.

Luckily for me I don't trade futures.

Remember this guy (highprobability trading)? Went into the weekend long 10 cars on Russell 2000 futures. It tanked over the weekend of course and he lost like $25-30K in a matter of hours. http://www.break.com/usercontent/2008/1/Stock-Futures-Trader-losses-it-all-and-flips-out-438981.html

A short straddle is how Nick Leeson brought down Barings Bank.

Your directional call on CAT was wrong. What was your exit plan? Never enter a trade unless you know how you're going to manage it. The 50 SMA is above the 200 SMA and price is above the 50 SMA. CAT reported OK earnings back in January. No reason to expect it to go down that I can see.

I can continuing posting if you'd like but I don't see the point since my analysis was clearly incorrect.

The OP may have been told to shut his trap until it's resolved. Publishing this kind of personal event in a public forum is pure idiocy anyway.

Haha, good one. I actually have first hand experience since my kids are 18 and 21. I've met literally hundreds of their friends and classmates and sadly they're all the same. Ok, not all, but like 90%. And I will never, under any circumstances, ever have a Facebook. :p

The day the gubment started writing checks to individuals was the day it all started falling apart.

They're not equivalent. You want to be a net seller of premium when IV is historically high and be a net buyer of premium when IV is historically low.

Ah, if only the average 18-21 year old were as focused and selfless as their Marine counterparts. Not sure what race has to do with anything.

If the 88 in your name is your birth year then you're right. You wouldn't last a week without your iPod, cellphone and Facebook.
