curious - how did you get into the position? did you buy the puts when you bought the stock? not a bad call, capturing that decline. was this...
I'd take the loss and move on. Thats a long time for the moving target to move. What happens if the feds raise rates a few times, and instead of...
Fundamentally, if the underlying moves in the right direction or to the right amount, and vega and theta don't fight you, you're in the black....
ha.. it looks like the owner is trying to sell a covered call on their house. That lease premium is way to expensive. Not anywhere near fair...
You're right as well. If you read my post about losing my ass recently in options, it makes a good point. Somehow in the options books and...

Makes me think about it from another perspective. If the dollar tanks another 10%, oil can still go up another 10% and the EU will still be...
thats certainly true. Its fascinating to see how international markets were so hurt by general inflation prospects. Its easy to see everyone is...
ha. give em a break, they didn't have computers back then to run more thorough analysis. On the other hand, isn't it amazing that such a large...
I'm new to the forums. Welcome me; I've been long obsessed with what seems an inevitable devaluation of the US dollar as the world goes towards...
