Short gamma trade in EBAY

Discussion in 'Options' started by riskarb, Jan 15, 2004.

  1. 22x to the buy done at $5.80 synthetically(stock//puts). I'l let it ride to my b/e on the remainder, offseting before data if Ebay breaks $61.20 or $68.80.

  7. that "beating" you refer to was actually a debate of dissenting opinions [as opposed to ass-kissing which is what many here prefer]

    ME, i prefer the lively debate anytime :-/

  8. Really? Word on the street, sizzle chest, is that you enjoy both a beating and an ass kissing, preferably at the same time.
