If you're hoping to get a place with no credit, you're pretty fucking delusional.

It's just amusing that you react like a kid when getting schooled on the internet board. You're the mental midget who assumed 100% of the premium was the requirement for all long futures options on SPAN. I said you were wrong, then corrected you (after you begged for a lesson), and made...

LMAO! You're going ballistic. Your desperate demeanor is rather amusing. Just keep on digging and digging and digging... you're so deep far down, we can't even see you anymore. It's obvious your ego got a little bit hammered, but next time, maybe you should just keep quiet on things you...

So I guess this is how RiskArb reacts when he gets schooled on elementary things. The amusing thing is that you didn't even need to be an "expert" in SPAN, which was your excuse. Maybe if you only had a few more IQ points, you could have easily realized the obvious flaw and that your...

Well, RiskArb, your answer just made no sense in the first place. It's not as simple as just multiplying 50 to whatever premium value the option is. Not every option is going to be ATM. And you're the one who challenged me to show you where you were wrong. Then I showed you up with very...

LOL I know the answer and you know the answer. But I don't think you were clear with how margin treated ITM or OTM options and that's why your initial response was unsatisfactory. :D

You don't need to use a strike of 1. That's just for simplicity because I was not sure if other integers might confuse RiskArb anymore. But you can try the calls with the 1000 strike. Ask Riskarb if IB tells him the margin requirement for that strike is [315 * $50], or $15,750. LOL

Here's some math for you, Riskarb. ES is at 1315. Consider a hypothetical DITM call with a strike price of 1 (it doesn't exist, but it's just used for simplicity). That call value would be at least 1314, which is almost same as the future itself. What do you think the margin for that...

You stated that one needs to put up 100% of the premium to purchase an ES call, and that is just plain wrong. You don't seem to understand how SPAN margining works. You should read up on it.

Just pointing out to the misinformation you've posted. No need to get so sensitive. You might pop another vein vessel.

That is wrong. It's not how SPAN margin operates. You're confused between typical equity-options margining and index futures options margining. Not the same.

Acesup is another troll loser desperate for some kind of circus crowd attention. He's read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator one too many times. LOL Unfortunately, the internet is all he's got. I'm amazed that a few were actually oblivious enough to lend credence to his drunk piker...

Urkel is probably the same idiot who made up the story. Either way, IQ should be a prerequisite to eliminate the likes of him.

Nope - no one is hired to be f--king idiot. Nobody could possibly take your job. You're obviously born for it and that title will likely be with you for the rest of your life. LOL

Better to be a pompous douchebag than a f--king idiot.

Wow. Half of you are such unbelievably gullible morons. Here are some magic beans.

If Urkel was intelligent, he wouldn't have made that post in the first place.

You probably made money in those years, but you're kidding yourself if you think anyone here believes you ran it up to $20million. You probably used a few too many zeroes. You ran it up to only $200,000 and now have $400. Actually, I doubt it. Your addiction to chronic posting and your...

Negative expectancy is just an assumption in options writing. It may be true or it may not be. But more often than not, it's been a very false assumption in the past few years. Anyone writing options and making money during this same period should know how dumb the statement is if they regard...

Thank you, ssternlight, for bringing some common sense and rational reasoning to this thread. It's nice to see someone not 'talking out of his ass.' This board is odd. There are some brilliant thoughts going around, but there exist also some of the most outrageously ignorant ideas presented...
