Hi Dest, Can you kindly post the reading list you sent me? I deleted it. Instead, I got Rosetta Stone with Italian & French, got a Kindle, with ALL the Russian authors, and some fun fiction. 6+ Months later, I have not touched Rosetta Stone at all, and I am in page 20 of "Shantaram", over and over again. If the Reading list could be organized in 3 Levels, it would be amazing. I will get a math tutor. Also, your wife appears to be involved as well. Maybe "Steph's Options Course". I would totally sign up for that...
Will do. Steph is caring for orphaned birds in her retirement, but she may be coaxed out of managing her OW-portfolio.
An asymmetrical condor implies a bias to one side or the other, yes? I am surprised you would do this based on the potentiality of a major software release. Are you betting they will do great with it, or screw it up? (I.E. Are you biased long or short?) (I also assume it is a longer-term trade, because it will take time for the industry to respond to the Win 11 release.)
With Win 11 release date Jun 28, I am thinking the volatility will be going up. I assume Dest is bullish on vol.
Bl;eh, this is why I can never understand options. In futures a condor would be something like B+1 S-2 B+2 S-1 across four monthly expirys. Some shit like that. It would be a neutral bias, assuming all 4 expiry move in same direction. But with options? NOOOO! You gotta' have strike prices in there too! Oy!
I was slightly bearish, and short a lot of wings. The official release date is meaningless. I am already up 15% on haircut. I shorted the vol before the beta was released to the dev/influencer community.
