First post on this thread rover. Read it and weep. Are there any moderators in the trading section that want to have a chat with rover? Seems like very unusual and uneven moderation going on, and not going on. Actually rover, I sold most of them yesterday, and the rest early this morning, or I would have gotten a whole lot more than $1 1/2 average price. Keep your yap shut going forward (you're insidious jealousy is really embarrassing) and maybe you can actually learn something here rover.
"b. rowshan strongly feels that the Jan 900 calls are a safe sell." Are, present tense Were, past tense Are you that insecure in your trading abilities that you're content with 1 1/2 SPX points? Let's assume you are correct, what have you won? 1% return on margin.
Are, yes ARE. The Jan 900 calls, the Jan 950 calls and the Jan 1000 calls ARE all great sales. They all will expire worthless. And they all WERE great sales as well. The Jan 1000 calls WERE an especially great sale @ $2 7/8 as per my first post on this thread. I'm soo insecure about being +5% after 7 trading days in 2009. You got me. I mean geez, I probably should give back all my profits (maybe to you?) since i'm so insecure about them. Your 1% return on margin couldn't be more incorrect. So much for you understanding options. Besides, i've never gone on margin in my entire trading career. Next!
Please continue. You can't write fiction this compelling. Would you please give thought to trading the CDS markets?
What does this above quote, posted on January 3rd mean to you? Try to give a meaningful answer, and i'll then respond to your cds question.
I used 14k USD as the requirement. Since you've questioned it, what is the correct OCC requirement for the 900C? Wait a minute, you're up 5% year to date? Mate, I am alerting the Financial Times to stop the presses.
Yes, alert them that some maggot has his panties in a bunch on ET because he's jealous that an anonymous trader made a great call and made $$.
That you are, as we say, "les imcompetent" I guarantee that your absurd sale for peanuts wouldn't pass muster by any bank's risk manager, let alone any legitimate fund. You would be shown the door if the order was attempted. Nobody of any repute sells naked index volatility for <3.
Hard to show the guy in charge the door. My strategy is so risky that I've had 90% winning quarters over the past 15 years, and my losing quarters were never more than >1% of the aum. It's a risk averse lovers dream, and you are a total joke. Next!
