    Two Beginner Questions On IV Please

    This is a very simplified response. There are about 255 trading days in a year-I’m sure that is wrong, but close. The Square root of 255 is just under 16. An implied volatility of 16 is pricing in about a 1% move on average per day.

    PE calculation : amazon vs microsoft - what am I missing?

    What I would find more interesting, as this is a trading forum, not long term investing, is which is a better trading vehicle for Intraday and swing trades? I would think it would be best to watch both growth stocks and the old guard for momentum and set ups and not stick to one.

    Third language?

    I would have guessed that you would have said your second language was Binary.....:D In the USA, every public school requires a foreign language. I would say that in the US if your family spoke English at home, you likely took Spanish in Public middle and high school. At the very least you...

    When Will They Release Options on Micro Futures?
