Forget about S&P 1000

Quote from S2007S:Wow, please tell me where the bulls are calling for 1000 on the s$P 500.

Instead of weighing opinions of "foolish" bulls and "crazy" bears, you'd be much better off with a little money management discipline.

Instead, you average into losing positions, going through a 40% drawdown on a single trade in order to close it with a 4% gain. You're picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.

Dude, you really need to look yourself in the mirror . . . You risked 40% in order to book a piddly 4% gain in the FAZ?

This thread needs to be in chit chat. It's run its course.

Yes

In keeping with the premise of this thread, and with a single day before S&P expiration, b. rowshan strongly feels that the Jan 900 calls are a safe sell.

Any thoughts from any of the good folks on this thread?

You think so? The calls that are trading at 30 cents? They're a sale, are they?

 

[pinthestrike]

Return on margin of 0,20% on those fat 900 calls!

Yes, in the last day or two they have been a great sale for me. And they will go worthless. But more importantly, why do you come out now and say this? Did you also have a problem with me selling the Jan 1000 calls at an average price of $2 7/8? Funny, I didn't hear from you then.

Yes, I sold 900 calls, and they will expire worthless. My average price on the sale of the Jan 900's is about $1 1/2
But you don't want to hear about trades after the fact, do you?

Quote from B. Rowshan:

If you are interested in making $$ from your belief, the S&P Jan 1000 calls closed at 2 7/8. They expire 1/23.

Obviously, i'm a seller of the Jan 1000 calls, as i don't think it will see 1000 by 1/23

Where were you when I made this call? Or you only come out to attack.

That's one hell of an assumption that I would wait until I posted this, and then try to sell them for 1/4. Not exactly. I've been an active seller the last 2 days of these 900 calls. Didn't know it was my obligation, given the slimy responses here, to state all my trades on ET before trading them. I missed that in the tos lol.
