I often send Warren Buffett my list of hot stock tips that I did my own research on. He wrote me back with a secret tip that he really liked KO...
As I tried to tell you, it's the contract, not the broker that dictates whether the option is American or not, and how long the expiration is....
There's no such thing as the "American Way". Options are either American or European based upon the contract definition. You'll need to find which...
This implies trading information is normally distributed. I'd argue it's more leptokurtic (much like our friend, the stock market)--a few fat...
And the dozens of articles posted on ET about AMEX's questionable business practices didn't disuade you entirely? :-)
Yes, generally so. Look at the Dec '07 vs Dec '06 corn contract. People believe ethanol is going to really take off next year and make corn very...
You can find everythiing you're looking for on the CBOT web site. Here's the wheat contract info page:...
Not at all. Spreads of corn versus soybeans, for example, are quite common. Even intermonth spreads are common. (For example, Corn Dec '06 against...
You should read up on futures contracts a bit. If you bought 100 wheat contracts, a single tick move would be $1250. A 1 cent price change in...
Wheat generally has lower exchange fees and therefore lower commissions by a dollar or so. That $7 is each way, so buy is $7, sell is another...
A lot depends on your volume and whether you're trading pit-only or not. Lind-Waldock was $7 for NYBOT. I got a bit better from Man through...
No matter what, you'll never make more than the premium. Keep in mind that you've dramatically simplified options by considering only the "at...
Beware OEX, there are all sorts of issues with being assigned early that have nothing to do with the list you mentioned. As an addendum to that...
Yes! Like any business, why give away money you don't have to? Would you invest in a company that paid 5x what they could have for goods and...
You think? This actually is a super trade in the event of terrorist attacks. The open after 9/11, oil dropped 10%, the dollar dropped .8%...
You're talking about strangles. But your assertion certainly isn't true for the S&P, Nasdaq, Russell 2000, bonds, oil, euros, sugar, lumber, or...
I can't even parse what you're talking about, much less be able to name a trade for you. Are you looking for contracts which have deep...
This still doesn't make sense. If you sell a 219 call and it rallies to 220 tomorrow, you will be at a substantial loss, not break even. If...
The problem is the barriers to entry are pretty low. Brokers offering $200 FX accounts or $500 daytrading margins are bound to attract everyone...
I'm sorry zoo, but I can only infer that you are a kid who has never even remotely been involved in business. You can flip "broker" for...
