Anyone been paying attention to Baltic Dry Index? Any suggestions on stocks to short?

Yeah because gold's in contango for the most part, options on calendar spreads aren't as useful for hedging. For me to put on the position I want synthetically costs too much.

I wasn't actually referring to direct options on gold futures. I was referring to options on calendar spreads that are set up with futures. Essentially, I want to be betting on the price spread between near month and further month contracts with options. For example, say the calendar spread...

Ok...I think I'll pass. I'm afraid of the dark and of potentially being molested by a 40-yr old male that still lives with his mother.

Hey guys, I'm a math and finance double major, and will be a junior in college next year. I'm interested in working on a trading desk and will be looking for an internship at an investment bank next spring. I'm very interested in options, and currently currency appeals to me, and perhaps...

You could even ignore supply and demand and think about the most logical fundamentals. Oil was what, 30-40 a barrel before war? Let's see, Bush didn't raise taxes for the war, the fed cuts rates like there's no tomorrow (until recently), credit crisis, fed injects billions in liquidity to bail...

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I'm really new to the oil market, so can you explain to me what trading the spread means on a macro level. For example, what is one implicating when he's long the spread or short the spread. If you're bullish on the spread, are you basically saying that the...

"Refiners’ profits are tied directly to the spread, or difference, between the price of crude oil and the prices of refined products. Because refiners can reliably predict their costs other than crude oil, the spread is their major uncertainty. One way in which a refiner could ensure a given...

Hey, sorry, I was referring to zf trader's comment. Regarding your comment, can you expand on what you mean by the crude being constantly inverted?

Could you elaborate on the options play? And can someone further explain the OP's concept? Thanks in advance

Hey youngtrader, I am in awe of your trading accomplishments, especially at such a young age. I'm at business school and yet a 17 year-old such as yourself knows so much more than I do about the markets. I'm looking to get into trading myself, and I was just wondering how you know so much...
