  1. yeah i wasn't even thinking about trading the underlying.. especially after my more recent manic trading esposides in eur.usd and ES.. haha
    hard to say anything about big put sellers.. as they might be the shorts or the longs.. yeah i'm not even sure how to position in a limited risk way to sell possibly inflated premium in this name.. you could fly the thing front month and pay for some ratio backspreads in the backs.. dude now i'm really a talking head.. i'd have to look at the skew/ term structure etc etc.. i'm going to pull out excel and look at it..

  3. Oddly enough at some point it was mentioned that this dialogue was not the best use of CNBC time, when I cant recall the last time I actually enjoyed something in CNBC except for this link the OP kindly provider.

  6. When two elephants in the room are fighting, it is best to not try and join the fight.

    Better to be on the sidelines and enjoy the entertainment.

    I thought you were in your late teens-early 20s, the picture on your website looks like you are slightly older.
