Well, everyone has their own opinions but I don't think we should litter riskarbs thread with off topic convo. Especially since there are many people following for options education. Sorry riskarb, I didn't mean to open that can of worms. Happens whenever I mention where I'm from. I should know better. :)

No worries, Cache. I started the OT convo; but you're correct, it will make it difficult to follow the actual topic at hand. Anyway, I disagree with RR. Life is what you make it.

Agree, I think it's time we steer this thread back to the discussion of trading. While the Chit-Chatting about pregnancy, Mormans/Utah, 666 and The Beast, polygamy, HBO, etc. has been a pleasant diversion for some, I've received a few complaints about it, so please continue similar discussions in Chit Chat where they belong. Thanks.
 
"Some" people will "always" complain....

Don't let that bother you too much....:)

The OT stuff was innocent and not a flame war. Those whining individuals know where they can stick their complaints. I doubt this journal will last without authorship, and I don't see the need to address an issue that's already history.

Let's have a few more OT posts about the cessation of OT posts.

OK, back to trading.

P.S. Sitting here in Starbucks in one of their new, leather booths. Very nice. Oops, OT.
 
I would like to know who complained about our wives being pregnant :mad: LOL....

anyway....

RISK:

Bullish bias on the GOOG short straddle? You sold it 20 points ITM... thoughts?

That was an old position, pre journal. I offset the 410 when we hit $402, on it's way to near-410, but who knew. I am short the 380 currently per the recent journal entry.
 
Hmmm...no complaints about JA over at OC's...

Am bullish to 400 on GOOG me! Glutton for punishment but nice to see I'm in good company.

Assume Riskarb planning a conversion? [EDIT: OK, I see above]

Yes, absolutely. I have it narrowed-down to Mormonism and Judaism. I am really torn between the two... I just can't get my head around the "Golden Tablet" deal.
