    Nope! I don't sell naked puts!

    You're not paying quarterly. Not how it works, Bro!

    You make a few bucks in 2018. You go bust in 2019. Liable for 2018 taxes which you cannot pay in 2019.

    I thought that I was clear. You can boldface it all you like. I don't run a haircut. I don't sell naked puts... you do.

    lol Silver is the guy who canlt define a synthetic call. You don’t pay quarterly. You do short naked puts hence the haircut.

    OLH..."of little help"...is your new name..little if anything you say has any relationship to what I have written....a "haircut" means nothing to me...."learn to read write & comprehend English"..until then you get NO response from me. "good luck..have a great life"

  8. <<Use volatility to your advantage when selling>>
    Is gauging IV% to its Percentile or Rank or comparing it to its Hist. Vol.% is the end of the world? What else can be done in order to perceive volatility better?

    He he he....:D Hang on a minute there mate!

    How come long 100 shares and long one put = long call?
    My understanding is as below and if you prove me wrong, then that shall be a new learning for me. Thanks anyways....

    1 option (be it call or put) = 100 shares. right?

    Assuming that lets examine the L.H.S. of the equation:
    As,
    Long 100 shares = Long 1 Call, right?
    Long 1 put = Short 100 Shares, right?
    So,
    Long 100 shares and Long 1 put = Long 1 Call and Short 100 Shares, right?
    or,
    Long 100 shares and Long 1 put = Long 100 Shares and Short 100 Shares, right?

    Now, let us assume the R.H.S. of the equation:
    1 Long Call...hmm... that's equal to Long 100 shares, right?

    Hence, L.H.S. is not equal to R.H.S.

    omg

    No, it's not right.

    Long 1 call = long 100 shares + long 1 put.

    Here are the payoffs drawn for you:
