OK man. Thanks a lot. I'm going to do a lot of live testing of all this stuff to see how it executes. If I can retribute somehow, let me know.

Keep an eye on FB.

JK, we're jealous of all the oil.

You know it, $530 billion in the pension fund so far....10% growth yearly on capital thanks to great managers. 4% of this goes to subsidizing the budget yearly, keeping a healthy budget surpluss. couldn't be happier with where i was born tbh.

Wow half a trillion and 10% with STIRs at 25bp.

I agree. I make it to Stockholm once a year or so. High prices in NOR but an even higher standard of living. My granddad had some textile co back in the day and would always say he needed to 20 new hires as only 10 would show up for work.

Quote from amazingIndustry:

you know what Atticus? Seriously, I am not trying to flame with what I am saying now. You are putting words in others' mouth ALL DAY, you make up stories, you outright LIE!!! But when others point to facts that YOU yourself showed you get all agitated. Have you every thought about it? You yourself were very excited with your 3 ES futures, someone managing >1 mil would not even deem worth mentioning. You trade off Oanda. But when others point it out you come up with all those fictitious stories that nobody can prove: Bloomberg, connectivity here and there, trading big-ass size here and there. Dude, who knows? Nobody. So spare me this bs. Seriously. If you dont want to be questioned on your totally unproven stories and claims then stop putting words in others' mouth they never said. Especially stick to facts and not creative stories in order to make YOUR OWN SELFISH POINTS COMPLETELY REMOTE ANY REALITY.

If I get booted off this site for this post then so be it, but I just voice my opinion that I smell more and more BS about you. Maybe you can fool some newbies but stop pretending what a big ass guy you are and then you trade smallest level retail size and deem it worth mentioning and show off your Oanda screens. I said it before, no Harvard graduate cleans toilets. Your stories just dont add up.

Stop flaming others, and especially stop hunt in others' threads only because you need to satisfy your hunger for constant competition, most people here are not interested in competing with you. Maybe in your book that looks weak but in most parts of the world it does not.

lol, I read that as either A there was a huge demand for labor or B the rest were busy cashing welfare checks. after all we do have a very liberal welfare system so I'm used to people critisising it

I can say so as my ancestry is also from an inured welfare state. I butchered my granddad's adage... "If I need ten I hire twenty..."

Thats how it goes... anyways it's 1AM here now, time to hit the hay... Again atticus your help is much appreciated, hope you stick around these forums for the time being, despite what certain idiots want...referring to that argument on page 9-10 somethig....Personally I've only been trading options for 3 months now and am constantly learning, and you're a valuable resource for that to not just me, but to many people on here. So again, much appreciated

Received a PM about B/E on the upside of the pitchforks. It's obviously the call prem + put prem, but the call = (spot-strike) + put. IOW, the call price includes the (one) put premium due to parity/zero-arb conditions.
