  1. Wow ..... The premiums on the QQQ August 05 options are expensive, a QQQ strangle will cost $242.00, last Friday a QQQ July 29 strangle was about $78.00.

    This is obviously because of the debt limit deadline.

    Now those premiums should crash on Monday. The QQQ August 05 strangle should be about $78.00 on Monday, Tuesday for sure.

    >>The measure passed on a 218-210 vote on Friday night.
    The GOP plan was certain to be dead on arrival in the Democratic-run Senate, which was moving to take up its own, Democratic-authored plan this weekend.
     
  5. (Reuters) - The Democratic-controlled Senate on Friday defeated a bill to raise the debt limit by a vote of 59 to 41 that had passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives earlier in the day.


    that was quick! the process has begun to speed up. there is still time to bounce a couple of bills between the House and the Senate. the dumbasses will make sure nothing is finished until Monday evening.

    That's what I call the wrong price for the put. It looks like you used the price for the 60P.
     
  8. That's a hopeful outcome. Mark my words: they won't make it.
