Oops, sorry! What I meant to say is no biggie if the stock doesn't budge and the implieds shrink to 70%. :D
I chickened out of the short straddle and legged into a few flys this afternoon, ending up with a pretty cheap 70/80/100/110 condor. Max profit...
No offense to mytwocents, but I'd have to say Virtuoso is the hottest chick on ET.
Arb, good idea. Now I have pick strikes. But with this thing, I should probably just throw darts.
Those implieds are ridiculous. I'm still toying with a fly, but the spreads remain outrageous. I'll probably revisit it in the last hour.
I don't follow it that closely, but on 60 Minutes last night, Bob Woodward recounted a promise made by Saudi Prince Bandar last year to ensure...
If Maverick has in fact been banned, a horrible precedent will have been established that will undoubtedly have a chilling effect on all members...

Short deltas on that piggie, Arb?
splphil, I find that kind of idiotic moral relativism as exasperating as you do. However, it truly is held by only a very tiny fringe element here...
So ART, where'd you find that well-balanced summary? Perhaps from "The Hamas Historical Encyclopedia and Terrorist Training Guide"? That's a good...
Umm, I Missed Boat, you missed point. I was mocking the cognitively challenged Electron for his ridiculous post, not agreeing with him.
Dumbest (and most utterly irrelevant) post of 2Q. As Murray would say, "Oy vay".
"Imperialism" of Israel? Really? Do you have any idea how Israel came to control the West Bank, or is there simply less substance to your...
