Quote from Cache Landing:
That is why you're intriguing to me. Your immediate assumption is that a complete stranger has some twisted incentive to act that way, with no prior history.
Nah, I just assume that trading boards are mostly populated by losers who lose because of their painfully poor grasp of the markets and attention to detail, and options forums triply so, and proceed from there.
Sure, it's a simplifying assumption, but it hasn't steered me wrong thus far.
Quote from The Big D:
I just don't know what to say, man.
Your point was accepted regardless how many statements were made. I should just point out that you haven't yet responded to my post showing you where you've made incorrect statements. Perhaps the reason I didn't treat your prior posts with the attention they deserved was that you subsequent posts had so many glaringly obvious falsehoods.

I stand by everything I said in this thread. Given your history in the thread this far, you have to seriously consider the possibility that you misunderstood my "incorrect statement" just like you misunderstood everything else I said in the thread.

First off, if that statement is correct and can be used by all, then you are also by default a loser who loses because of his painfully poor grasp of the markets.
But there is another type of person on a trading board. Someone who spends an absurd amount of time at his computer trading between 9:30am and 4:00pm. Rather than watch youtube videos all day he would rather toss around ideas to make him a better trader, because nobody in his immediate surrounding knows the market well enough to participate in an intelligent discussion on the topic.

I most certainly did miss that qualifying aspect, and I suspected that was the case, which is precisely why I asked the question. A little lazy on my part.
But it doesn't change the fact that the statements I highlighted are not really up for interpretation. They are completely wrong, regardless of the interpretation. You do not have to execute those transactions as you claim.

You're still not acknowledging you could be confused and/or not reading attentively enough again.

I can't recall saying that. I assume it about the other participants unless they do something to prove otherwise. It's just a pure matter of probability.
They can assume whatever they like. They may be wrong - in fact, presumably frequently are.

OK... let's make that assumption.
Please explain exactly what it is about those exact quotes that I'm not understanding correctly.
Please start with the idea you first proposed that in order to replicate a CC a person must first create a synthetic stock position.
