Quote from Eliot Hosewater:

Can you tell me what +ve means?

I saw that term used years ago but have never found a definition.

TIA.

I believe positive...and think he is right..trying to make a vega play on the fed is very tough

+ve = positive.

If you have an option model software, you want to construct a portfolio with positive gamma. That was what I meant.
 
Quote from gobar:

what is a naked call?

i have searched over the internet and got a rough idea about the naked call.

CME 780 Call is trading @ .40 cent. No way its going to 780 in 15 days. so if i sell the call which is @.40 cent what is my profit and whats my lost?

anyone thanks

No way you say?

Can a $66 stock go to 78 in 15 days?
Can a $6.60 stock go to $7.80 in 15 days?

Don't let the high price fool you.

Is it really worth $35 or $40 to let someone else control $78,000 worth of stock at your expense?

Good luck.

Why don't you buy calendar to avoid theta loss?

I don't need to buy calendars because the local real estate salesmen gives them away. I might buy one at half price in January if it has nice pictures.
 
Quote from arizonadreamer:

Almost.

Rough numbers:

I legged into the position and on the 2:3 received a credit of almost 1.50.

Max loss is unlimited past around the 491 area.

Max theoretical gain is near 1900+ per combo right on 470 at expiration. My goal is to close tomorrow.

Long shots - I've seen some crazy stuff lately, so we'll see.

BIDU Update:

Even though a larger gain is possible, decided to close out BIDU ratio spread for a gain of 1+.

I'll leave some $$ on the table in exchange for more buying power and peace of mind. I can't even come close to predicting this thing.

Good move......BIDU can defy gravity at times and not worth the risk of hanging on. Now you can order your pizza.
