Is it just me or have the thinkorswim support people gotten a bit grumpy?
Vix popped up by 0.70.... how could premiums drop?
Coach, Several newsletters I subscribe to seem to indicate that there's not too much upside left in the short term. My own analysis also...
I was checking out some JAN 1200/1190 puts spreads today -- there's hardly any credit there :( and yet it's only 70 points below the current...
Donna, Actually, if you read some of the materials from Anbacher, Chang,... and other index premium selling funds, you'll see that 2001, 2002...
Under what conditions does VIX rise in an uptrend (usually it declines in an uptrend)?
MoMoney, Thanks for the replies. Since you are sitting out credit spreads for Jan (and Feb maybe), what do your positions look like?

If you are comparing the value of a Stanford (or Harvard) MBA to a UCB MFE I've got to believe you're not Stanford material. And if you are...
Coach, THis is a great post. All readers should print it out and put it next to their computer.
Wierd market today. A/D is awful, but SPX keeps inching up -- now at 1271. Either breadth reverses to the upside or we see a couple of sharp...
...think you misinterpreted my question -- I was asking if the rally today was driven by buyers coming in with optimism or short covering...
Sure looks like a breakout,.... wonder if it's short covering though?
Riskarb, still think it'll reach 1285 by exp?
Riskarb, Did the google and saw the link -- very interesting. Does it work for you? How is it compared to, say, 1/2 hour on the treadmill? An...
riskarb, How many times a second do you breathe during meditation? What is a sound and light machine?
