The guy is a comedian. Cheers, bud. Can you also explain why water is wet?
This is a crowded trade....
There's a very good reason why those premiums are inflated. I have no problem with selling OTM index puts, but I do advocate defining your risk by...
I know it's been said before, but wait till a 87' crash scenario when VIX spikes up +30 and that's being optimistic, while your short put...
It's one thing if you can stomach the loss or getting hit for 100 grand isn't a big thing. But I won't beat a dead horse on what previous posters...
Doesn't matter if your friends were hustling. Question is did you understand the dynamics of the hustle? I never got why people look down on...
There is nothing wrong with selling cheap gamma. Just make sure you buy even cheaper gamma. Watch convexity if you try this. Rally informed me...
IB used to have it on TWS. IVs for every strike in every month. Then I think one of the upgrades took that out. So I figure since one day I just...
Good thread here. Little late, but I might as well. For the FED meeting play I had: +12 ES OCT31 1540 Puts @ 3.55 sold at 7 +8 ES OCT31...

You could have noticed something in the recent weeks leading up to last on the RUT. When the 3 other majors were pushing up hard, RUT stalled...
The example I was talking about was that he apparently had a long delta put BWB into a 700 point DOW move down. AND all strikes were traded...
I hear Oasis 07 was pretty good. I am skeptical however that the claims of him being able to structure a BWB (ratio spread) that withstood a 700...
