thank you dear god, thank you :)

Oh my head. :) So what time are they traded? And where can I get the quotes? I'm trying to get an idea of where Dow (the index) is headed the next day.

Where do I find quotes of the Dow Jones futures? What is the symbol? I'm not going to trade futures, I just want to see the futures direction so I can get an idea of where Dow is headed next day - I'm assuming Dow futures are good indicators of next day's DJIA direction, right? Thanks.

What say ye traders of the land of the elite?

Maybe not, but at my school (top 10) we have many IBs recruiting and wining and dining us. And basically everyone who wants a job in trading here gets one. So, take that for what it's worth.

Which school?

Just wondering what the sentiment is on here.

Assume 4 year coupon paying bond with face value of 1000 and annual coupon payments of 50. Can I get the IRR by using a standard calculator?

Man, I'm not much of a cynic but Goog- which moves up/down 5-10 pts a day - moves just a few cents to end at 279.99?? Hmmmmmm . . . MMs and option expiration? Coincidence?

Yup. Dumped them today at .50 (bought at .55). Funny that this news hit one day before expiration. The puts were at .05 yesteday.

You're an insecure POS. Can you show me what it is that I don't know about options oh wise one? Idiot. I was just making conversation. I had a few bucks sitting in my account and bought some DOTM puts. Go post on the yahoo boards - they seem to be more fitting for you.

the puts hit the shitter. Goog up 5 pts in the last hour. It was just a small gamble on Deep OTM puts (August 270).

lol, I just went to the Trader Expo site and looked at the speakers: they all come from no-name firms. Where are the managing directors of JP Morgan, Godman, etc? These speakers look like, and have the credentials of, used car salesmen. If you look at the speakers of a real expo - say...

Isn't it funny how many authors cross-endorse one another (like traders in Market Wizards)? One trader (Trader X) will write a book and on the back cover it has raving reviews by other authors, whom themselves have raving reviews by Trader X on their back covers. Btw, anyone check out...

? Explain.

yea IV is a non-issue since expiration is in a week. My view on the stock? 270ish. But I was wondering if any you with more experience know whether or not marketmakers start doing funny things as expiration nears?

haha

-.15 so, about $60 a day and increasing

I have profit/loss targets and so forth. Just making conversation. Sheesh. Save the condescension for someone else.

Not a ton of money but I have 4 GOOG August Puts. I have profit of $140 on them. Commish is $15 (optionsxpress), Should I cash out (because of theta) or just wait a day or two?
