Is this a good diagonal spread trade?

It's sorta like art created by a mental patient... there's no reason that it can't be creative and brilliant (in fact, I saw an exhibition of some interesting ones in Baltimore) - there's just no particular reason that it would be.

Unless you have a specific market view and reasoning appropriate to expressing that view - an edge of some sort - for that trade, it's just random structure. Nothing good or bad about it; just indifferent.

The root problem here is that you don't understand any of that and keep asking this kind of questions. Then, you back them up with militant arrogance and intentional deafness when told that you need to learn better. That's what makes your posts scream "IGNORANCE!" with every word, and what makes you so entertaining.

 

Of course you seen it since you were yourself exhibiting.

 

OP, I apologise for being so flippant in my first response, so pls allow me to try again.

You asked :

Yes, I can tell whether this is a good or a bad trade.

I hope that helps.
You're welcome.

Now we're friends, right?

 

Oh yes, I remember! I was exhibiting you. Hope the leash wasn't too tight.

P.S. If I recall correctly, this is the first time you and I have interacted here on ET. If this is how you start out with strangers, I can tell you the source of your (extremely serious) mental disturbances quite easily.

 

Daaaamn, bro. You're going to give away this kind of valuable info, for free?

Whew, I guess you must really like the guy. He'd better put you at the top of his friend list.

 

That’s what happens when you throw a bone at a Dog. He bites it.

Relax man.

 

Why thanks - I'm good! Just came back from a great dinner, about to pour myself a nice glass of red, good music playing softly in the background... and now, I suddenly have a dog at my feet who cares about my state of relaxation, too (fake solicitude, of course; in reality, he just wants somebody to throw him another bone. Whosa goo' boy, den?)

Tip: if you're trying to fumble your way to making peace - a singularly graceless, bumbling attempt - at least try to sound sincere. Mouthing cutesy but inept platitudes isn't going to gain you much.

(Too much relaxing, maybe? Put down the pipe, open the windows to let the smoke out, and focus.)

 

Hahah, who are you, Doris Kloster?

Enjoy this with your relaxing wine and cigar...

 

Never heard of her. Just looked her up... O, I see. Creepy art on her site. Not for me, thanks.

Man, I get to hear some odd music thanks to you! This one's not my style at all - except for reminding me that "Fear of Flying" was one of the first books I read after coming to the US (this, while still trying to learn English.) I can't even begin to tell you how it affected my view of my newly-adopted country...

 

I do not know for how long you have been here, and from which country you came from, but when I spoke with you, you sounded like a down-home plain' ol' 'murican. I never would have guessed you were from the old country. Where do you hail from?
