If she's a social scientist, you two should pour a glass of wine and study the posts of this Desterio chap. I have said from the get-go here that I would love a shrink to analyze why this person manifests himself so childlike as an adult of 52. I suspect, and perhaps you could corroborate, his lack of social skills and bravado hidden behind the cloak of cyberspace arises from being picked on as a child for his offish size. Its unfortunate, he could have used it to his advantage had he had the right parents to guide him through his awkwardness.
Don't do social science drunk, Karl Marx did that and look what happened, it is serious stuff Well I'm 52 or Destrierio (Italian for steed?) is as well.. To be fair 52 is a good age to regress to childhood a bit. Edit: just saw Destiereio's post before this. I am too tired so time for bed, GF and friend babbling in high speed Spanish has my mind knackered.
Truly this dude's Magnum Opus. The first act opens with the mute point which has that Deliverance feel (town is back the way you came, Boy!) and then we get into the microstructure. The second act is where we walk out as ostensibly this is a guy who has "300 real option trades" on this site yet thinks that taking an option pricing tool and adding IV and days to expiration is a liquidity tool. Like magic a best-practice synthetic fill will be shit-out of the model. WTF does BSM have to do with where he would be filled within the NBBO?! Also, a vol-figure goes in, premium out. Option prem in, IV out. I truly have never read anything so ridiculous that purports to be trading-related.
I took you off ignore when Magna gave me the go ahead to tear your ass to shreds in Politics the forum. That defense is not gonna cut it Mr. man-child that you are. Lets put some money on things.
