So I did a handful of options trades over the course of 2007 for hedging purposes. I primarily trade equities, so all of my trades have been...
I'd probably be more worried about Etrade, whose stock went from 23 to 3 in eight months, and who's built up a subprime business.
I was a little worried as well, so yesterday I submitted a withdrawl request on the order of mid 6 figures, just so that I could have some cash at...
A pundit on CNBC just said the same thing. Apparently BSC is using this window to shop itself around for a better deal. Unfortunately I don't...
Do shareholders even have a choice at this point?
That would be a bet that JPM shares would increase by 50%. Pretty damn optimistic if you ask me. I buy the short covering argument more, though...

I just realized the fallacy of this strategy -- taxes. Buying and holding the SPYs is much more tax efficient than rolling ES futures every 3...
Please elaborate.
I'm assuming that it's the 4:15pm EST close, though I'm not certain. Also, for the 13 days from 2/5/08 thru 2/22/08 the premium of the Jun 08...
So I found this old thread because I'd been thinking that, as Poole stated, with little to no time decay you could beat the market by buying a...
I agree with a previous poster who said you need to track the screens realtime. That's the only way you know if the lists that Zacks spits out...
