Give me a break. "I could show you mathematical proof that _X_ works but you guys haven't kissed my ass enough so I won't." You've got nothing....
Are there any studies out there that look at "one time" double-down strategies, or other limited versions of Martingale? I have, on occasion,...
Ah, I didn't realize the pair was referred to as a "cross". I thought he was alluding to some sort of price versus moving average technique.
Define a "yen cross", please.
If you're bullish on the stock, why aren't you just buying ITM calls with expiry that reflects the timeframe of your "bullishness"? I have slowly...
Shaffer seems to be little more than a fear-monger. I am unsubscribing from his "news" letters. Buyer beware.
I was going with the assumption that you thought the underlying had run its course when you wanted out for $8 but couldn't get much beyond a $6...
I'd also like to hear the answer to this question. Obviously, there is the notional value of the calls to deal with, but depending on the broker,...

Sorry, I thought you were just posting a primer. (It actually talks about both sides of the box.) At any rate, the long box numbers looked...
That link in no way answers the question. It even calls box spreads "riskless". I am trying to learn the practical truth, not the theoretical...
In my career as an engineer focused on advanced R&D, I have found that very few people without a BS can compete in that arena. A graduate degree...
No dividend. I'm really looking for guidance on how to manage trade size so that early assignment doesn't create some ugly capital event. I've...
Let's say I identify a box spread that is profitable after bid/ask and commissions. Free money: Sell 1 ITM Call Buy 1 OTM Call Sell 1 ITM...
You're taking my statement out of context. I was arguing that, for index investing, the PUT strategy was best of breed; in essence, I was making...
Thanks.
Yes, thanks for the correction. You have answered my question clearly. I need to contact my broker to find out how I would best handle early...
Wow, thanks for the heads-up. It would seemingly make a lot more sense to pay ST gains on the calls and LT on any gain made on the underlying...
