Mervyn... at first I was a bit skeptical of you, if only because I never really read your posts... but since our comedic Kroger dialogue (at least on my part somewhat comedic)... I have come to respect you very much. You're no rookie.
Will you put real money where your mouth is and buy calls, or at least stocks, on this symbol? No. Because you do not really trade. You're a dumbfuck, and I do not understand why VZ is tolerating you in this thread.
"Puts have been extremely cheap" Huh? July 19 puts on SPY and QQQ are equal to the calls. There's a little thing called a dividend payment between then and now. It's about $1.20 on the SPY. Check the option chains and break out a calculator. $542 calls are $7.72 Subtract $0.45 (Closing price $542.45) = $7.26 Subtract $1.20 dividend... =$6.06 7/19 $742 SPY puts---> $6.07 ... Just sayin'
Whatever. Go bother Stoney... he was in rare form today reading some of his posts. Still not sure where he got "#1 on Google metrics" from. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/gba-presents-house-of-gummy.374311/page-1914#post-5977737
