@Stockolio, if I wanted to troll you, you'd already be screaming in pain. But since you've made a ridiculous spectacle of yourself, and everyone...
Damn. I actually got almost all of that. I must be getting smarter from associating with you folks. :) So... OK, he's reshaping his original risk...
That's actually really interesting - I've never seen anyone make that distinction. But it's pleasantly encouraging. :) I'll be honest: it's a...
I'm not being cynical when I ask - I'm genuinely curious - but is there any reason to think that you know more than the average bear, or are less...
Ah - the light dawns. Thank you very much, @Magic. To me, 'stop' meant a stop-market order - and using one just didn't make sense if I was paying...
So your answer is simply to close for a loss any trade that doesn't go according to plan. Well, it's a viewpoint. I'm not going to discard it...
Just saw this, right after my previous reply. Well, I did ask for perspective - can't complain if it's one that basically knocks my previous...

Could you expand a bit on how this is relevant to (what seems to me to be) a purely tactical process of trade adjustment? I'm not connecting the two.
I just recently started learning about futures; no practical experience with them, though. My current experience is about 90% options/10% stock,...
In reading over the threads here, and having seen it elsewhere, I've become very interested in the subject of trade adjustments. Some people seem...
I'm relieved. Given how much conviction you were expressing, and the 30-day ATM puts at 0.25 or so, I'd have put you down for at least 100,000 of...
Wouldn't you, if you were long the company? Not expecting it from those whose bread is buttered on that side would be naive in the extreme. I've...
Meanwhile, in other "news": "Chief Executive Officer Larry Culp labeled the analysis “market manipulation -- pure and simple.” I love the smell...
Ah. Not a source I have access to, then. Thanks for the info!
Out of curiosity - being promoted fairly widely where? I'm always trying to sort a tiny bit of grain from the incredible amounts of chaff in the...
