    sell Oct kbh calls?

    risk: potential unlimited. As I advised, would be good idea to hedge yourself by buying some far out of the money calls. reward: uncertain --> exactly the same as you would go long a stock or short puts.. Saying otherwise would amount to subjective risk assesment major risks for this...

    sell Oct kbh calls?

    That depends on how you look at it: the short stock will yield a one on one profit if the share price drops; the short calls will yield a profit if the stock price falls, remains the same or rises just very little, depending on the strike price. Payout on both instruments is very different. You...

    sell Oct kbh calls?

    of course not.. what would be the difference going into the FED with long stock or short stock? I wouldn't do neither of that myself, but there is really no difference, other than if you're long you could lose a maximum of 45 dollar per share..

    sell Oct kbh calls?

    I think it could work out as a good trade if you know your downside and are ready to anticipate on that.. maybe buy some cheap far out of the money calls to limit downside. I really don't see the gambling part in this one.. guess if you're long stock stock and short puts that's also...

    New Rogue Trader hits the Copper Market, gets Squeezed

    Other possibility is that those Chinese guys are really clever.. they want to sell copper, make everyone believe they are short so prices run up, which enables them to sell their stock at a good price :D

    new trader

    Why don't you apply for a job at a market maker company.. 15K to make a living on options, face it; it ain't gonna work. All odds are against you.

    Chicago Board of Trade

    mmm this is starting to get dodgy.. p/e CME=40, for 2006 approx. 30.. CBOT shares outstanding, 52 mln vs. a profit of 37 mln.. so say close to $1 / share. Opening indication 75-80 gives a p/e of 80, close to a 100... seems very high to me compared to CME!! edit: 85-90 opening indication...
