My Nerves Are Shot

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.
My options trading mentor once told me "I don't care if you trade options naked, but don't trade naked options."

Your naked option exposes you to unlimited risk, even though the probability is small. PoT < .5%. I would not do such a thing.

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!

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.
Did you get a testosterone infusion from this thread?

:D

Break between meetings.

I only know what you wrote in the post that I answered, not what you meant by what you wrote.

With regard to a vertical spread, I still would not put 1/3 of my trading account into one trade. I like to keep each trade at < 10% and I am generally < 8%. So my answer is still no, not because of the trade but because of the size of the commitment. Once again, I advise you to study risk or ruin and why trade size is important.

Ad hominem attacks are generally frowned upon in forums. Your point can be made without them.

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.

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.
 
This was your post before you edited it.

Transparency. Ironic coming from a guy running an investment scam. Make the wager here, in plain-view and detailed, and we'll discuss it.

This is as it is now.

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.

I have stated my intent to teach what I do at some time in the future for compensation.

What investment scam? Again your veracity is suspect.

I'll remind you of my challenge in my next post. Patience while I look it up.
 
Well atticus, I could not find the version I specifically offered you. The search mechanism here failed me.

However, here is the latest version that I have offered others, who like you, challenge my veracity. So far no one has taken me up on it and most quite down and reread what I wrote.

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.
