Thought so.
My options trading mentor once told me "I don't care if you trade options naked, but don't trade naked options."Quote from Arnie Guitar:
Howard, please answer my question in regards to your "scary" comment.
Would you be scared being short the S&P 500 1230 puts with the S&P currently at 1285 with 2 and 1/2 days to go?
A simple yes or no please.

Your naked option exposes you to unlimited risk, even though the probability is small. PoT < .5%. I would not do such a thing.
Did you get a testosterone infusion from this thread?Quote from Arnie Guitar:
Howard, no offense, but after reading your posts and threads I must say I'm not impressed, and would not be swayed in any of my investing decisions by you. You're probably a nice fellow, but your self opinion of your trading is a little too...well let's say you have no lack of ego.
I would think such a large consensus of opposing views to your posts would lead to a little introspection and reflection. Do you think everyone is wrong? Now please, keep your squabbling in your own thread.

Break between meetings.Quote from Arnie Guitar:
you know it's a vertical with a long 1220 position, rocket scientist...oh no, pilot (yeah right)...
Howie, never wonder why.
You must enjoy it.
I know now, do not feed the trolls, and howie, you're a troll.
bye bye!

My offer to you requires you put up the money to prove you are right. Suing someone with your level of veracity has little likelihood of collection. Nice try, but transparent.
Quote from atticus:
Your offer? I've never seen a post from you on this site offering me a wager.
Transparency. Ironic coming from a guy running an investment scam. Make the wager here, in plain-view and detailed, and we'll discuss it.
What scam? Although asked by several, I will not trade other people's money. I have taught what I know for the cost of room and refreshments. I received no money.Quote from atticus:
Your offer? I've never seen a post from you on this site offering me a wager. Transparency. Detail the wager here on this thread. No need for PMs unless you're attempting a Weiner.
So you place higher odds on collecting on a bet than collecting on a libel-judgement? I can see why you need to run a scam with these insane verticals.
Howard's Challenge
Select a third party auditor acceptable to both of us. Put in escrow the cost of auditing my account. I'll put twice as much in the account to cover the audit and a charitable donation I will make to a charity of your choice in your name should I be proved purposely deceitful. The auditor will verify or refute any of my claims that you wish to challenge without revealing account size, trade size, etc.
