Well, that *should* be a credit spread--if you pay the outside of the BxA spread though, it'd be a debit (and a guaranteed loser). And weather to...
I presume you mean *selling* bull puts since you're getting assigned (and you're bullish with puts)... I don't have any hard rules for it....
Weight lifting and energy drinks? You trading routine is WAY more intense than mine!
It's really a false dichotomy. To suggest that the trolley is close enough to represent immediate danger to persons on the track and you're...
Anyone know why this one is pushing up? I suspect the gap was just the GOOG effect after their earnings release. But it looks like something...
Did you do the trade? How did it pan out for you?
How's that handled by the market? Do you just keep presenting a bid of 5 as they fill? Or does the fill of the first 5 present the whole order...
Time to assess the damage GOOG - earnings release was slightly high of in-line. So, let's look back: Score one for risk management. It's open...
Can you explain the iceberg order? I made a mistake a while back that was kind interesting. I had an open limit order that I was changing to a...
Agreed...but it still means bullish trades are tilted in your favor (such that it holds)
Long. Term. Logarithmic. Chart. [IMG] See how the red line is fit to the bottom of the '87 crash and the dot.com bust? Warren Buffet...
I suspect that's optimistic. The human body is very resilient (as is the American economy). We lived for hundreds of thousands of years (and...
I think my most important lesson is learning to be a good loser (note that I use present tense "is" not "was"). And I don't mean what your...
I'm definitely a fan of parsimony...i.e. The least amount of the most useful information. I consider opinion, but it doesn't make or break any...
I wasn't suggesting anything. Just NFLX looks a lot better a week after earnings that everyone expected to be the transition from subscriber...
This thread is awesome. I'm pretty sure it's ending in a gun fight or an orgy. I'd totally buy a long strangle over this! I pretty regularly...
It's a shame--we'll never know the value. If I had to guess, I'd say they got out of this one for an even $500k.
It's been challenging resistance all day. I like it for 22.75 if it breaks through, or 21.75 if it falters. I'm on board for the charge higher...
We'll see if it holds tomorrow. I don't put any faith in extended hours movements. MSFT released 0.73 adj earnings. This is about as close to...
Definitely wishing I'd waited until the closing moments of the day. The MSFT 5/5 $68 strike looks really attractive at 1.25
