Trolling on his own thread... LOL
Would be fair comment Dan, 'cept I note that some of your comments in other threads are decidedly trollish. Perhaps hold yourself to the...
A view on vol and range will probably suffice.
I like to ask a different question first: Can you make a living using straight directional trades on the underlying (or at least be profitable...
I only pay lip service, and never lend cash :D :D :D
Aussies don't speak patois, they speak Strine, which includes much British idiom as well as their own colloquial enrichments. As for me, I have...
Danshirley, I'm kind of curious why you would do that here and slag off others who do it in your thread. "Socratic" doesn't really come to...

Re IV: The vertical spread does much to tame vega, but vol can still throw in a curve ball from time to time. Re credit v debit spread expiring...
What are the theta, gamma and vega of these? :p
The ignored factor --> contest risk. A vertical spread that matches the underlying in terms of delta will be a LOT more costly in terms of...
Might be stepping in front of a freight train however. :eek: Who knows what Obarmynomics will turn up in the time frame? Another million...
