Conservative Options Trades

Quote from Put_Master:

Sorry to hear that.
Guess I'll have to recalculate that 2,400 % annualized return.
I suggest you give it 3 days, and then see if you are still locked out.

i called IB to confirm.. i'm definitily locked out.. i'm not even sure if i can still trade futures or options on futures.. it could be that the rule applies to futures and options on futures only before you hit the PDT trigger.

Day trading butterflies is ridiculous.

i actually put the spread up for sale and it went through..turning it into a daytrade.. it wasn't exactly my intention to daytrade it.. if you make a good risk reward profit in a trade you might shut it down in five seconds ...
explain yourself.. why and what do you mean by that
 
Quote from diaoptions:

I sure would like some of those. That looks like more than 25%, what do you think?

It is one thing to shoot the breeze with fellow knowledgeable investors , but when abviously naive individuals show up with serious financial problems the bullshitters on this board should have enough sense to pass and refer them to a legally qualified individual.

I don't think helphelp has 'serious financial problems". That NFLX position is down only 2,400.00 with 1 month to expiry.

Trade:
Sell the Jan '12 55 put and buy the Jan '12 50 put for a net credit of $34
Yield = 34/466 = 7.3% in 126 days or 21% annualized.
Prob = 94%
Expectation = .94(34) - .02(466) - .04(233)= 32 - 9.3 - 9.3 = 13.4

Wait for market to react (or not) re Goodrich acquisition announcement.

Why do you assume he even got a fill?
He rarely distinquishes between actual trades and fantasy ones.

dan is gone for a week or so.

Usually when he travels he is too busy to log on here.

Looking forward to his return..... I have some trade ideas I want to share with him.

you want my two cents.. stop selling options with the freaking vix at 15... exposing yourself long volatility to stocks that have good run ups to chase in a market that is near highs is sick......
 
Quote from NOEXPERT:

Boy that was quick.

I can just see Put_Master(bator) hogging the screen looking for any activity by or about his latest nemesis so he can jump in and put in his denegrating two cents. (which is about what it's worth).
