You're brain-dead. Mathematics? Where's the math? I'll take that wager, but I don't accept bubble-gum as settlement. 20:1 against a close above 220 at expiration; 10:1 against a touch at any time prior. Take the wager?
I can't stop laughing. Stock_trad3r, even if you're a moron, you deserve some kudos for being wildly bullish in the right environment. But don't argue with people who have forgotten more this morning than you've ever known. You don't know your asshole from your elbow when it comes to options.
and so in a blink of the eye FXI, et al are slammed to the canvas - hey! Do you think the Fed leaked the minutes to Wall Street? paysense
Umm...so...the clients of the market makers don't care which way the stock goes? Surely you know that there is much more to how a market maker operates than strictly scalping don't you? Well...I've got news for you. The big clients of the market makers that want to move millions of shares in and out of a stock have a real interest in the price its trading at. The market makers that serve these clients do everything they can to get the best possible trade. Sometimes that means manipulating the price on a short-term basis. Now, beyond the actual moving of stock for a client, I agree, the market makers don't give a shit about price. But I just don't buy it that with downgrades slowly starting to trickle in for RIMM that there aren't huge orders in the pipeline to get out of thist stock.
Precisely, hence his claim that they "go up huge" is complete hogwash. They HAVE to go up huge. Risk-adjusted, growth doesn't outperform the market by "huge" amounts. And especially right now, the risk is extremely high. His picks better do about 20% in the next 2 months to justify the risk he's taking at current levels.
not really. I'm still up for the year. We got rimm and goog and aapl. 2008 will be awesome and the index is still outperforming the market by a huge margin.
