  9. the market sold off.. and isn't holding its ground... to me the risk is still up.. more bearish fuckers to shake before it turns... i'm willing to stick to drift up senerio into elections untill i see days where a decent sell of holds..

    anyone got parameters for finding tickers for flys? just curious.. implied vrs historical? GS? Bidu? There are other names with premium.. when do you guys say.. oh that ticker has over priced premium..

  10. These weekly flies seem pretty dangerous. Even a 2% move up or down will result in a huge loss.
