  1. I think most the rational people with experience agree with you Austin.

    IMO its not worth debating since it does not happen.

    The najarian thing is silly. He's a CBOE member do you think he's going to publish DVD's that say the CBOE is rigged?

  4. Nice job you bought the dead low of the day and sold a couple pennies off the dead top. If you could post a few like that then I think people might raise a few eyebrows

    I thought to myself that was a bit of an unfair comment to make when jeffalvinson has said time and again his system looks at previous options prices.
    I think your credibility needs to be questioned now, not jeffalvinson's as you have made the claim you are/were an Options professional.

    Sorry, not wishing to detract from the thread, but jeff needs support over this point.

    The comment: "nor, obviously did Jeff. " is really a cheap sneaky vindictive comment.
