It's been said already somewhere on some thread, but the 87 crash happened after a few days of hard selloffs. I would say expensive insurance has...
There goes RUT. 740 perhaps? 760 looks like it's gonna get blown out too.
Lot of money to be made in ER2, of course the opposite also holds true. Was up $500 on it after comms, the sad part is my high of the day was...
I don't like to make calls, but if RUT doesn't hold 780, since it blew past 800, this is more than just a correction to around 760. 700 is highly...
Long gamma > short gamma this week. Of course if one already was short gamma, better not puke those positions or scalp enough intraday to pay the...
Now if only I went naked long calls on AMZN instead of a muted spread. I was gonna go long 55 puts on NTRI too. Hindsight is a bitch....
Better watch the RUT 790s. Only 20 Points OTM here. RUT breaks 800 (not likely but high vol usually leads to higher vol) theres a free fall every...

How do you figure that futures/options aren't zero sum? BTW, if your trying to get free info by playing off empathy, here's actual advice. Don't...
I understand the problem here, but given the outlier move, we know the results, that is vol explosion and the subsequent effects. And since time...
Thanks guys for the responses. The reason I asked a general question is that it pertains to a more specific scenario in my trading. I've been...
To hedge/profit from a black swan move (index down 30%) jump, is there a way to quantify the strikes given the scenario above and VIX is trading...
saxon22, I have no problem with every individual having their own tastes, but making blanket statements like all Asian women are ugly and all...
I don't mean to nitpick, but actually the well off girls are the skinny ones. The fat blobs michaelscott is talking about are the ones from lower...
You guys are giving michaelscott some heat here for his lifestyle, but like already said, who cares if it floats his boat? I find it ironic that a...
I hear strippers get paid ~$500 a night. More for extras. How big are your tits?
