    There should be a "fast food" ETF if there isn't one already. Dibbs on the business methods patent.

    Time : 2:34 PM ET Tuesday
    MCD: 97.26 up 0.4
    I believe MCD is a good short term short now since it has been up for 4 days. Cover price of at least 96 this week. If market retreats in the next couple of days, MCD should also fall.

    These calls have more than doubled since your trade. When will you take the loss and move on?

    Never. I will let them get assigned and then sell covered PUT on them. I have used this strategy zillion times. But thanks that you pay attention and read my posts and question me on my trades. As everyone else who posts in elitetrader, I am just expressing my opinion and also trade on what I post (unless otherwise I mention). I am not advising anyone to follow me. Just a food of thought and trading ideas. Just to prove that I still have that position see the attachment.

    No Do you? It seems that you know their restaurants prices
    Correction. Now I got it. Since you have never traded options, you think a 4 cent option is really 4 cents. It is 4 cents x100 =4 and 17 times $4 becomes $68.
    So tell us what is in a 68 cent dish in Cambodia?

    Yeah, 68 bucks. For 68 bucks you get a nice dinner in a luxury restaurant ?
    Lol you should call it a feast...

    There are some exceptions that cost you $400 or over for one person dine in (they are called rip off places) but in general yes it wont cost you more than $68 for one person meal in a luxury restaurant.

    Fair enough, but as a friendly advice, it's fine if you invite someone to a 68$ meal, just don't spout it is a "nice dinner in a luxury restaurant" or you will look, well, not very serious - this might not be true for every cities, including some in Cambodia, but ime it's true in a lot of places, a bottle of cheapish wine or a main course will cost u that much already in a posh non starred restaurant.
