I picked up a bunch of ES December 2550 puts this afternoon. I'll put them away in my time capsule and dig them out in a month.
RM nailed it. As a Canadian, I don't get PM so returns based on margin for different investors are comparing apples and oranges. The key to me...
That's right. Pekelo got the arb before the computers. Only on ET. Legging into an IC doesn't count.
There's not enough information here. To effectively trade options, you must have a view of the probability distribution of the underlying within...
I've held this since it was 5-figures. I'll go to the grave with it in my estate.
Vol in AAPL hasn't been too bad the past couple of weeks (relative to the past year anyways).
I was already short premium going into today (October monthly), but added a short 160/162.5 September 15 strangle for a credit of $3.11 as I felt...

2 contracts with $3600 is pure insanity. I would suggest bringing it down to 1 or better yet, switching to USO.
The objective is to constrain P(r,0 to 1) to less than 57 given the above parameters so that P(net,0 to 1) < 0. I can't find the necessary...
LOL. Pekelo--you're the last person that would understand it, but for the sake of others here is a possible scenario. 0 = time just prior to...
Another uninformed comment. For example, one could have a long/short straddle. After a move in the underlying you could either roll up or down the...
It appears MTM is an election. But I'm Canadian, so what do I know?...
See post #64. Hiding losses is certainly a motivation. But it's not the only motivation.
These are the variables I've played with to change the net profitability outcome. Realized P/L Unrealized P/L going into subject period HWM going...
I haven't seen a reference to a net number but I'd be happy for someone to point it out to me. However, everyone seems to reference the...
I don't know what the financial media is printing, but a $50 million unrealized loss doesn't mean the fund lost money on a net basis. I don't...
We don't know that. Not enough info. What we do know is that the claim essentially confirms a legitimate profit (and the establishment of a new...
I agree with your premise. However, good faith is a very tough argument. Also, what takes precedence? Good faith and proper intent or the words...
Congrats! Would you like a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie?
