I was not o on the floor in the 1970's but the PHLX started around the same time as the CBOE. I was only commenting on what happened in the late 80's to the 2000's. BOth of our observations are correct, and I am 100% sure there were no hand helds and liquid underlying for the equity options in the 70's. Either way its my opinion you always offer excellent answers and advice here.
Well thanks, and I can say the same in return. I've learned a lot about the equity side of the game from your posts.
An excellent book, but a terrible book for beginners. It's far too advanced. And the people who keep recommending it, know that to be true. Mark http://blog.mdwoptions.com/options_for_rookies/
Hanging in there. I finally realized how stupid I was. I understand [finally] risk now. You know how frustrating it was to be profitable on 70% of your trades but still manage to blow up? No matter how high you think the probability of the trade is, it is NEVER OK to go "all in." So yeah, made some mistakes but I'm chugging along. How are you doing man? Did I read somewhere you are moving to Ft Lauderdale?
