I assume you mean the ATM and OTM HSIC calls have made about the same percentage move - they aren't worth the same. JJacksET4
As you largely tell yourself at the end, the IV will be high, and the option prices won't be remotely close to .001 for a $100 stock with an...
I don't know what you mean when you are asking about selling the spread - there are many different spread types, bullish and bearish, calls and...
I would just add to Spins comments that position management is very important with long straddles/strangles (of course this is true for just about...
No, I never had heard of it until now. Looks interesting. Usually I don't tend to do many straddles that I hold over earnings, but for what I do...
I think I know what you're saying, but you don't seem to understand - I am not talking about your chart showing delta changing - I am talking...
Heck, I also use his site, but I have combined it with some other text files and I have a VB program to help me find trades. I included a screen...
ok, ok - maybe I should just stay away from this thread, but what the hey. You do know that delta changes, right? So, if the delta of an option...

BTW, I didn't mean to sound like I was upset with you. Just this kind of stuff ticks a person off when it's my opinion it could easily be...

"High cotton prices have squeezed clothing makers in the United States and around the world." Yeah, right - how much worth of cotton is in a...
