Doubtful. Presumably your counter party performed their obligations and were prepared to deliver the shares regardless. Who could you sue? It'd...
Someone should clarify and move that worry to certainty....
If volatility is worth selling, you might as well sell all of it. It's less important on higher volatility and longer-dated, because you're...
I'm saying my confidence (well, that's not really the right word, anymore) in this bull market is at its lowest point in more than 9 years. My...
I think you're asking the wrong question. You should be asking what can you learn from this about options trading (because there's some good...
Why not long the $30 and short the 37....puts or calls, doesn't matter. You have a synthetic-long (the long call / short put $32.50). That has...
LHs, LLs...trend in tact. Options markets have been mixed lately and I'm blowing trades at a higher percentage than usual. I look at that as a...
