i care that the position was profitable. as would any other trader. and i knew what he was asking me, not arguing that point at all. and i explained why i did it this way over the simplistic single trade. to do things the easy way is boring. to learn from one's mistakes, intentional or deceptive, is why we play the game. i take immense pleasure in stringing fools like you along. i almost had you believe i didn't know what i was doing until you realised i was being...disingenuous. now why would i do that i wonder? i'm not sure what your argument is, or your fucking problem you sadistic clusterfuck on steroids. you seem more interested in degrading people than contributing to the world in any positive way. and this wasn't a contest to see who's cock is bigger like it seems to be with you. this was about me reeling your fat ass in all day, jacking my page views up, so if and when i do start posting trades that make you look like the infantile cocksucker you are, you'll probably start duplicating my trades. silently, of course. your ego wouldn't allow you to compliment someone, or acknowledge they were right. all part of being an ocd sociopath, i surmise. i've read your posts. every last one. you're an amateur trader, at best, you're just copying and pasting from investopedia. go shit on someone elses lawn, mutt, before i really bitch slap you. rb. p.s. who's mike cohen?
nah, i hit the complain button. i knew if you got some taken down, you'd blow your stack. lol. they were typos. maybe the trade itself was fictional, maybe it wasn't, doesn't matter. whether or not i made a profit wasn't my motive. but then, you're too fucking dumb to figure that part out. cheers. rb.
Beautiful. Another 500 words in an attempt to prove to the World you trade the synthetic for a purpose. Fortunately, you're only bullshitting yourself. Time for you to whine to the mods again.
any moron can do the natural put over the synthetic. doing the more complicated trade at a higher cost is more challenging, and enables me to try new options theories, take larger risks, and continue to test myself between making the right and wrong decisions in trading, and how i react to mistakes if the trade goes against me. if i'd taken the easy route, i wouldn't have had the pleasure of watching you two try to figure out what the hell i was doing and why. that was fun. king leonidis marched to the sea to battle an immeasurable force knowing he would perish, yet he died for his principles. my guess is if you were in the same position, you'd have been carrying xerxes throne, or one of the bodies the spartans used for kindling for their walls. you have no imagination at all, no ability to think abstractly, can't think outside the box, are merely a number cruncher, a sadistic one that enjoys taking your frustrations out on people you assume to be inferior to you, when in reality, they're probably just better people just trying to learn. i'll take 300 spartans over millions of persians like you any day. rb.
Yeah, we know. Your motive was to stir shit up with the fictional trades and the moronic synthetic trades, but then you had the posts deleted, which proves my point. HTF do you go through life with these special needs? Do you wear a helmet around the house?
i liked it. and you read every word. lol. if the synthetic has the same risk and exposure as the natural, then it doesn't matter why, does it? here endeth the lesson.
Yeah, who the f*ck would want to lose less on commissions and microstructure. Yeah, you're arbing that 46 cent synthetic put, bro... Losing edge over the natural is thinking "outside the box". "Try new options theories" Thanks Man. You made my day.
It doesn't matter. If traded at equal premium... but you initiate the position at a disadvantage in trading the synthetic. Again, you've proven you're clueless. If you don't ask for this reply to be deleted then you truly are deficient.
never said i was arbing a 0.46 cent difference. you did. did you do the trade? did YOU take the other side and make the difference as part of your PNL today? did YOU do the natural put? did you short MSFT today? if it was so fucking obvious, and you spent ALL DAY watching and writing me, you must not have, when it was right there in front of your face to profit from. but i bet you didn't. what did YOU do today but sit here and piss on everyone on this forum like some ferrel cat with aids?
it didn't trade at equal premium, which is why doing the natural put wouldn't have made any difference, would it?
