    Funny how some run from bubbles flying to gold

    Well, could you point me a reason why investing in gold is a safer investment than, lets say, going long on some SPYs?

    Funny how some run from bubbles flying to gold

    No dividends, no interest payments; apart from a marginal industrial use, gold is all extrinsic value, which can come and go like that. I am not going to enter into the merit of investing in gold, if it is good or not right now, but according to what I've been reading, what most don't...

    Why is the EU plan causing such a huge reaction?

    The EU is fine, they still have a lot of more printing to do until the euro trades at parity with the dollar. What you guys need to understand is that since the gold standard was abolished, every dollar, every currency is "made out of thin air". And every country in the book has more wealth...

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    CCs have a carry cost, short puts not and there are differences between extrinsic value recieved by the two. That is a very relevant difference, specially to the retail investor, who wont be able figure or execute the oportunity cost play properly.

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    Bull market, bear market, range bound market, the only scenario where puts trade with more extrinsic value than calls (considering no dividends in play) with the same strike is in an economy with negative interest rates.

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    So my assumption was right. The thing is at least one poster that I can remember in this thread said the oposite: that a put have more extrinsic value than the equivalent call. Also, the response that equivalent puts and calls should have the same extrinsic value ajusted for the carry cost...

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    So if the carry cost is not zero, the market will not give the same extrinsic value to calls and puts, right?

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    I am using "time value" as the same as "extrinsic value". You are saying that calls and puts that share the same strike price should have the same extrinsic value. So, lets say XYZ is being traded at $ 30 and its june 33 calls are traded at 0.30. The june 33 put should be trading at...

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    No? Ok. So which one should have more time value, the call or the equivalent put?

    Covered Calls vs. Naked Puts

    Also, lets say interest rates are different than zero and positive, does it mean that a CC (OTM call) should result in premium since it has a bigger carry cost (or opportunity cost) than a NP (DIM put)? Maybe time value has more to do with the price of the underlying (and where the strike of...
