It’s funny how they ( you know who you are ) keep feeding the trolls. It’s like they have to have the last word and that never works out.

So you are clueless about it.

70 posts fighting windmills... Get a life.

It looks like there are not many clients in your coffeeshop, as you can spent a lot of time here.

HS math so it should be easy to derive. And yeah, it's a significant, persistent arb. Risk on so the bear tail is not convex. Hit me up in PM for full personal details on Euro-friend @virtusa. Holy sht.

Edit: It's two COB orders traded on Friday. Tail risk is flat from SPX 0 to shown.

This scam thing is up $8,200 and I've got a small tail credit on the drop/reval. The horror! My family mentor abides.

Someone compared Dest to a hematologist. Do you really need to go to school for 10 more years after you graduate college to trade options?

when you have a health problem and go see a hematologist, does she speak in medical jargon and offer no explanation to a non-medical person?
Does she prescribe medication without any clinical trials and insist it’s the real deal?

I did grad research in oncology. One paper involved p-gp inhibition with cal-channel antagonists in chemoresistant tumor models. Here's another:

Apropos!

Mee-maw, have you consulted your fmily mentor today?

I dont know Des,I do know he speaks in a manner/terms I have never heard in 20 years on trading desks,with quants and true rocket scientists,

An interesting comment.
Why do you think this would be?
Because options is such a vast field that it would nearly be impossible to know it all?
Or because maybe Dest is making shit up as he goes along?

Dude, I run a seminar populated with sell-side guys, MDs in structured products, HNW retail at $30K-$50K per head... 2-3X/year.

So clearly it's the latter (making shit up).
