Pairs Trading?

[Don Bright]

OK, just for fun, let's talk the naked put thing again. From Mav this time, I think, LOL. "both (naked puts and pairs) involve unlimited risk on the downside"....well, since we're short few GM puts at the $7.50 cent level, I think my risk is limited to $7.50 minus the premium I received for selling them..therefore, they are limited to the strike price minus premium. (again, I think).

To Exodus, I will see if PairCo wants so share some of their results, as always, since regulators read this, I have to see how foolish my Compliance Officer thinks I am for being so open. If I show good, honest numbers for winners, then I'll be accused of "cherry picking" and if I show an "average" then I'm accused of skewing the numbers. Sometimes you just can't win, but I'll see what I can do.

(Do me a favor, and ask another Broker Dealer to post their results, just for once I would like to see someone who is regulated share that info).

Hey Mav, and others from "Chicagoland"...I'm thinking about bringing Rob from PairCo back to Chicago sometime in August. Maybe a get-together and/or a short, 1-2 hour workshop one night. I would like to make the most of my time, and since there are not many casinos close by, I thought I would see if you guys are going to be around, maybe dinner...??

Let me know if you're going to be around...

Sorry, but those particular expo's have kind of "worn out" over the years...we're focusing more in serious trading workshops and retreats these days.

Super, and of course I remember Gennady, he's still a Bright Trader...and (don't tell him, LOL)...one of the smartest traders that I know.

You know, I sure wish Ontario would "lighten up" a bit with registration for GS and the trading firms, so that we could expand PairCo to your Province. I think Toronto is a cool place.

Quote from Nasdaq5048:

absolutely. Locals buy 0.20 in the pit and sell 0.25 on the screen

How? I looked into it and every broker says it is impossible. They said you can't buy the emini S&P 500 between the .25 spread. They said you can only buy it at .25 of bid or ask. Is there something I don't know? Or a way to trade between the bid ask of emini?
