    Thanks.
    Not so sure about dividends, are they not priced in?
    Margin, is it not the same?

    I don't trade those anyway, just teasing. I read a thread from 2002 where they joked about it.
    I prefer verticals and their relatives.

    By managing risk, do you mean realizing losses? Then no, I don't do that. In my opinion, any strategy that involves closing positions for a loss will guarantee you lose money in the long term. At the very least, it won't perform any differently than if you just let everything run what you lose on the downside you will gain on the upside. That's the efficiency of a market.

    Don't fall for these trick questions that D always comes up with... selling puts or selling calls have a higher chance of profit than buying puts or buying calls. That's the answer.

    I told you I've run the numbers. Doesn't matter!

    Can we get an example? I'm not following what you're saying. Ran what numbers?

    I ask a serious question, you provide a silly video. And one that was not even funny at that. If you're gonna make claims here, you need to back them up.

    Now I have another question.... i just noticed this as I went back and read things.
    The post you quoted (from me) earlier today that initiated my query above... that post:

    Was to @Drawdown Addict. But you answered with:

    You do realize having two id's here is a violation of @Baron's TOS.
    Just thought I'd point that out. Not real smart on your part.

    Now if you don't mind, answer my question, or you'll look doubly stupid.
