This is the first time I'm hearing this. If you are correct (it does make sense) then this is all overblown. But then again that's par for the...
You and everybody else, lol. The bookies had "leave" at 12-1 late this afternoon. Now it's 11-8. Whoever took the 12-1 is feeling pretty good...
Good going. Maybe just sell half and let the rest ride a few days. I expect the downward pressure to persist a few days. There is no catalyst for...
The market should go down for a few days here. Tomorrow would be a bit early to commit cash. No August 24 opening here. You need margin selling to...
To be fair, they are getting a month's worth of rain in 3 hours. Also, ironically, the storms are coming from Europe rather than the Atlantic....
The rally to 2113 at the close made me get started right away. Bought the unleveraged short S&P 500 at the close. I'll enter the triple leveraged...
I firmly agree. Classic case of sell the news is forthcoming. However, I do think there will be a momentary pop at the open that may take the S&P...
For both of you, as well as anyone else who may be interested, here is what I found so far, as I managed to speak to SEC counsel regarding the...
Funny you said that, because I was thinking the same thing. 8 pages of discussion about that trade, but one line referencing my actual...

That's what I estimated. The volume at the time I participated shows 200, so $64,000 profit on those alone. Nice hit. There wasn't much open...
It means that I make my living selling options, and net-net it has been extremely lucrative for me. That's what it means. If I worked for a...
I haven't complained even once. The only hack here is you. This is Elite Trader. You're in the wrong place. Go back to the Yahoo boards where you...
I don't think JackRab was talking solely about shorting, but shorting is tough. The biggest force going against you is that the long-term trend of...
I thought you had a change of heart after your first rude off-the-wall comment, and, being the nice guy that I am, I welcomed you back. But there...
You want evidence for what claims? And where do you come up with saying that I "need to come to ET to understand market microstructure and insider...
"Next to impossible" is an exaggeration. But I have had occasions where I sold options to an inside trader and, fortunately, still had the options...
Great articles! Thanks for posting them. I love the first few lines of the first article: "As I may have mentioned over and over and over and...
Thanks for the insights. Good points. Believe it or not, it doesn't come up often at all. And on the few occasions I've seen it, the buyer...
Actually, it IS a lot. Especially on this small-cap name. And it was the 30 put. More than 10% OTM with 1 day to expire on a stock trading in a...
