Hey your the one "going on vacation" all of a sudden. Make that a permanent vacation you fucking loser. Be a man?, I am not the one "going on vacation" you wussy. You must be the weakest excuse for a trader that I have ever seen. See you Monday. Steve
ladies - where did we get off track? i think i still have a my questions that sort of got answered why does everyone have a hard-on for futures/options - i got the msg about taxes and under funding - but im still a little new to understand what you mean when you say people like them b/c of the 60/40 rule - whats that?
i think people are more amped about futures than options but i will give a few reasons why futures are awesome: volume is up huge year over year no up-tick rule for shorting, if you want to sell you can just sell (unlike stocks) less margin is required than for stocks (i believe) the bid/ask spread is tight as can be with good size on each (fo ES, NQ, GE, DAX, FESX...)
"60/40 rule" refers to the tax advantage that a trader (in the United States) enjoys IF they are profitable trading futures. Steve
