You state that you understand synthetics but then post a statement like this. I can only come to one of two conclusions. You don't understand synthetics or for some reason you find pleasure in lying. Although it may be ignorant on my part, I've given you the benefit of doubt that you are not a patholigical liar and I will kindly point out that the JUL22P has nothing to do with your synthetic short put position. Look, I'll ask this one more time. You posted a trade. I asked a question regarding why it was constructed with a synthetic. I'd appreciate your honest response. If you don't want to answer or don't know the answer then that's fine. If you want to "string me along for your pleasure" I suppose that's fine too. Whatever gets you through the day but this will be the last time I ask and if you are trolling then I won't take any of your words seriously from here on. I imagine others have already taken this course of action and if you alienate everyone then you'll have no one left to read your posts... I'm Mike Cohen. For better or worse, no alias.
honestly, Dana, and please take this at face value, really couldn't care less if you were Steven A. Cohen himself, about your record, your trades are of no interest to me, and I take Wdnesdays off to have fun. I wish you the best of luck with your trades. Cheers. R.B
Hey Wiggles, didn't you just call me out? Now you're going to run away with your tail between your legs?
I answered your question. Draw your own conclusions. I honestly couldn't care if you were Jim Cramer himself. And if you were, I'd want to be his friend, because I respect him immensely, going back to when I first started trading at 17, watching him scream on CNBC when it first went on the air, moreso than anyone I'm aware of with the last name Cohen. And I couldn't give a flying fuck if anyone reads my threads. I'm not the least bit interested in fame or infamy either. I'd answer the question exactly the same way, and I'd string him along the same as I would you or Dana or any other reader of this thread, because in the end, all that matters is I made money today. Booyah.
I dont get why you and others spend SO MUCH time over this guy. Has it STILL not become abundantly clear that the main motivation for this guy IS TO BE RIGHT rather than making money? One guy I read about stated it very correctly: Everyone gets what they want out of the market. And this idiot gets to be right, even if everyone else proves him wrong and he overpays in commission, spread, and what have you. Time to move on I would say ;-)
I agree. I'll admit I take some pleasure in forcing him to constantly reverse course to cover his gaffes. Stuck at the office all night, but I agree there is better things to occupy one's time.
