The S&P looks very toppy

  1. This will not be moved to chit chat, as its the only thread here where someone had the balls to make a market call AHEAD of time. And the call was great! The moderators understand whats trading and what isn't.

    I have no other clever handles. I do it one handle at a time.

  2. James why do you get off on playing these childish games. You make great calls, I make great calls, and I know for a fact that Arb does, but why the incessant need to come on here and grope yourself? Why must you be such a fuckin lame?

  3. Fair enough. Look at what I encountered when I made this call AHEAD of time. I was tremendously chastised and ridculed, yet I stuck to my guns. The more ridiule I get, the more I come back with a vengeance. And I deserve to as along as no one who chastised me is willing to fess up to the accuracy of my call.

    Marketsurfer made a good call on siri, and I congratulated him. You show me where you made a good call AHEAD of time, or arb, and i'll congratulate them

    But for arb to now say he was short, when he had ample opportunity last night, is very lame in my opinion. He says half a dozen ET'ers can verify his call. So why not maKe it public as long as he lives and loves this site so much? He doesn't have to disclose his exact trade, just a simple, "I am net short", would have sufficed.

    But DON'T TELL US HOW MUCH YOU MADE AFTER THE FACT! tHAT SUCKS.

  7. Hey dummy, the point wasn't you're "call" (which, if you weren't as illiterate as you appear to be, you would have seen being made by any number of posters on ET), it was the way you claimed to have played it -- by selling naked ATM calls. Again, moronic.

    So riddle me this, genius, since you're so adept at counting pretend profits, what would you have made in fantasyland had you pretended to buy the same amount of pretend ATM puts yesterday and how does that compare to the pretend profits on your imaginary naked call write?

    Oh, and please post a pretend account statement to verify your calculation.

  8. promise... just couldn't make out size in the last one. I believe I'm about 80% of the OI in the ES futs options, as only a few trade them -- but the majority of my position is SPX, and arbs between the two...

  9. My avg. cost on those puts is much higher... hence my P&L calculation.

    fwiw.

  10. Looks like Riskarb does indeed have the position that he says he does, with some real nice profits to boot!

    Your turn.
    Let's see YOUR SCREENSHOT!

    :)
