Here's another one of those stocks that people are dying to short, leading to huge put/call arb numbers: NAT, trading $36.50 June 35 call:...
Christ man, get a hobby. And a sense of humor.
Why would I care about volume? The ask/bid spread is more a concern... but anything that's positive, even if it's just a couple percentage...
Wait, that just clicked for me. Why *am* I shorting shares, as long as IB has very convenient SSF/EFP support built-in? Anyone know...
The highest I've seen was at -35% or so. I don't think I've seen anything higher than that, although I know there was discussion of SHLD earlier...
Charging up the butt is a concise, highly technical phrase referring to the 30%+ rate I'm currently paying for a short position. As far as your...
Didn't your momma ever teach you that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all? No whining here. If I didn't like IB's...

Mark, I respect your experience, and I also don't for a second believe my strategy is "dominant" or superior (in the academic sense). So,...
Does anyone have practical experience, whether other types of bars (like volume bars) addresses this kind of problem? Anyone aware of any data...
