  2. Write a bunch of cash secured puts on SPY for Feb.

    strike price of 92 (SWG ON) limit order 7.70

    10 contracts. That should net you a 8.4% premium.

  6. start a mortuary business--- a customer is born everyday, and has no escape but via your type of business.

    PS: it is the only business in the world where it is a certainty that the businessman is a future customer of his own type of business--- no escape from it.

  7. There's plenty of high risk, high reward options out there. Look at the biggest losers and pick one.

    How about Satyam the Indian IT outsourcer. Yesterday they annoounced to acquire an Indian infra company owned by the relatives of the CEO. Then the stock price tumbled over 50% and the company dropped the plan.

    I suppose the market reaction was silly overshoot and the price will pop back. The deal itself did't sound that bad really. I have the feeling that Indian infrastructure spending is rising. But high risk - you asked it.

    Then you gotta look in some parallel universe with different Anthropic constants.
