sold 100 @ 30.45, just to lighten up a bit.
ok, ok, you talked me into it! :p I'm in! I liked the press release - sounds like neat technology. I like who they are aligned with (IBM...
A share price of $25 puts the value of the entire company at $10bil. Merrill has a market cap of $81 bil, Goldman $96bil, Lehman $41bil,...
You mean, like the lack of capitalization of the word "i" ? You are probably right. But there is way too much nastiness on this forum, so why...
surdo, I hope you still have time to edit your post. I am in awe of JP. My comment in no way was critical or suggestive that he is not totally...
We got your 111-03 print. (Wednesday's low - seemed unlikely to me this morning) Think it rallies from here? I am a bit stymied.
With CAT at 72 I have effectively sold 200 at 70.77 so I have reduced my profit today by $246. No way to call that a good trade, but I still...
whoops! CAT is up 4 points this morning! Welcome to the world of options! :eek: (I sold the 70 calls on Thursday)
$31.25 1 tic = 1/32nd of a point ($1000 per full point) $100,000 notional or did you mean, dollar value of 1 basis point?
I find it ironic that you are labeling the electronic markets a "scam." The move to electronic markets has been a great equalizer and makes the...
Or should I say, "I sold catcalls" ? I want to start selling some calls on stock I own. Thought I would start with CAT. I know earnings...
Just realized a mistake: Allowing for early delivery, the CTD vs the 2yr contract is not the current 2yr. It is still the 2.625 3/15/09, basis...
During London trading hours when the Bunds are open (starting 2 am eastern time) it seems that the majority of TYM volume is driven by blackbox...
great job! I really appreciate how timely your posts are. None of this hindsight trading, ie turned bullish yesterday and loaded up at the close...
Bonds actually outperformed stocks today. Seems like that hasn't happened in a while, especially on a day when stocks are up. Dow +.41%...
I use a little cheat that works well as long as there is a clear cheapest to deliver without a lot of optionality. The futures contract will...
sorry, wrong day! Your trade was Wednesday, but it was April 11 ! :) I should have noticed that your original post was just after...
I wrote this yesterday but must have missed the post button because it didn't (post) But there were a few 500 lots of 127 puts yesterday,...
Here is another chance (run at the highs) I bot ZN at 21+ watched it go down to 19+, set my stop at 18+ and was so happy it came back I am out...
Nice call... I couldn't bring myself to buy that close to the high, looking for more of a pullback, but we did get a nice little pop at exactly...
