Continually Mistaken, Chronically Admired

[JSOP]

OK maybe not a stupid question...possibly just an academic question? I like to spend time "real-time" learning how to trade better! Could you please take the time to "dissect" the idea of "synthetic's.

It's quite useful in that it allows you to put the gains and losses of your trading position(s) in perspective and how they change in various scenarios.

I put this very question to a person on the trading desk @ TDA & he was as puzzled as I am as to the correct answer...thanks for any time your willing to give me.JSOP.. I do enjoy learning...

This person on the trading desk of TDA needs to study payoff diagrams too. LOL Once you study it, you will be able to answer all of the "synthetics" questions under 5 seconds each. Just like in the "Matrix", I can show you the door but you are gonna have to be the one to walk through it.

Overnight...answer this stupid what I believe to be a very stupid question:

10. Which one of the following choices is the same synthetic position as long stock, long put?

a. Short put

b. Long call

c. Short call

d. Long put

I believe the question is wrong headed...if not prove to me you know what your talking about and analyze it in a constructive way..as if you knew how to teach...not just criticize..

Long call. Don't try this on the street.
