Do you really think this kind of comment wins your argument? Don't you think it makes you appear a little irrational? Why would anyone take you seriously?
Any thoughts on the role of naked short in options trading. Any comments on how they are separated from the "bad" kind of naked shorts:eek:
Any thoughts on the role of naked short in options trading. Any comments on how they are separated from the "bad" kind of naked shorts The SEC allows MMs in options to naked short to hedge their exposure for options that they are writing. Any optionable stock on the Reg. SHO list can be naked shorted without limit. So the MMs in derivatives get to unfairly put all the risk on equity traders.
I think your analogy is a good one and the criticism of it ironic. As long as people can argue in lofty terms, they're comfortable with doing the deed. When the description becomes too explicit, the defense pales, people scramble once again to redefine the terms.
So you think talking about rape should be in the same thread as naked shorting? Don't you think that makes you look crazy?
Not only that, but when the position is on, they load up on puts which makes the MM short naked legally which drive s the price even lower. Money becomes more expensive, stocks crater and blow right thru what any trader would think of as support. Amazingly, my dog won't crap where she eats. But these guys foul the pond on a daily basis. I'm thinking of a new thread, where we just post fraud that happens. I get about three emails on a slow day. It's remarkable, and when you see the "punishment", you 'll be disgusted.
Crazy? No, I think the analogy is apropos. The fact that you take such umbridge against it says mare about you than anyone else: 1. The fact that the analogy is ubiquitous in the industry and you have you knickers in a twist, speaks of your amateur status. Spend ten minutes at any trading firm and you'll hear the word used repeatedly. I don't want to say you're a no talent ass-clown, but......... 2. Pretending to deconstruct the argument by getting into semantics is a pussy move. You sound like a metro-sexual refugee from a Jane Austin novel and equally as uncompelling.
Flytiger: I'd like to ask you a question off the boards regarding some of the research you suggested. If you would email me, I'd appreciate it. I have something pretty interesting to tell you.
The fact that I don't think naked shorting is equivalent to actual rape makes me a pussy? The more you talk, the more you lose credibility.
