    Prop trading got me closer to my goal of either 1. Starting my own fund or 2. Being a truly independent trader.

    i eventually went to #2 but realized it's not actually that great of a life for a guy in his mid thirties.

    Since I am too lazy to read the thread, what is the basic premise?

    PS. I assume we are not talking about dividend gamma here, do we?

    OP did a buy write. A bunch of people in typical elite trader fashion shat all over his trade. He, in typical elite trader fashion acted like a know it all douche. I told someone that buywrites are not equivalent to shorting puts when dealing with American options.

    I missed all the excitement. I guess that's for the better :)

    You were too busy looking for real dividend opportunities. :)

  6. Yeah, because you don't understand the trade. But your normal MO, you know everything. Even mind reading.

    I know I don't know everything but I suspect I know more than most people and more than I think I know.

  8. See there you go again. You know more about the account, objective, setup and trade, than the originator. You're really funny. You mean you think you know. And i even doubt that. A master in your own mind. lol
    It's hilarious when you run off on a tangent based on simple minded assumptions. Not even worth a reply.
