I think those IC trades Atticus discusses, are just a front he puts out for the public.
Secretly, I suspect he is a closet naked put seller.
Like most closet naked put sellers, he's too embarrased by the stigma society places on them, to come out of the closet.

Atticus, this is 2012.
Society no longer scorns and ridicules those traders anymore.
That personal investment lifestyle choice, is now considered main stream in many states around the country.
People now openly walk down the street, discussing their naked put trades in public.

BTW, since protection is not used, I'm NOT suggesting novice virgin investors under 18 should be "trying it" for themselves.
This is something they should wait on, until they have a mutually respectful, long term, and committed relationship, with a broker they know they can trust.

I sell mad amounts of skew, sticky-delta stuff hedged with spot. At work I trade OTC. Flies and vega neutral stuff is 25% of my net liq. I sell naked puts in my IRA and wife's 401k.

My former junior has recently suggested that I turn my "trading notes" into a book. Said that "You are obsene enough to make it an easy read and know enough to get people to learn".

Do you talk to your wife the same way you talk to us???
If so, does she just shake her head and stare at you a lot???

Does the name Atticus sound more like Klingon or Vulcan?

Means he sells naked puts and delta-hedge them. Correct me if I'm wrong. His writings are sometimes cryptic for the experienced as well

Perhaps.
But I'm still not ruling out the probability that he is a Klingon warrior, sent to earth in advance of the main invading force,...whose mission is to blend in, interact, and observe the ways of earth people.
And his so-call "cryptic" writting, is actually Klingonese, written in special code, interpretable only by and for his people,... not ours.
Don't you find it curious, that the only place he posts these "cryptic" messages, is on a forum called....."ET".
Has anyone here ever actually seen his birth certificate???
