Looks like he has now blocked me as well! The quality of the posts I see on ET should now improve! -- Win/Win
you wasted time on this thread. the guy is a complete waste of space. Eventually he will have blocked or been blocked by everyone snd he can live in his own echo chamber where he can stop bullets with his mind.
you fn idiot. The difference between shares and the synthetic is the conversion/reversal mkt. Buy shares/buy put/short call. << Same Strike >> You're in the risk reversal. You have vol and drift risk. IOW, what happens if you hold to expiration and it trades just inside 130? You've made $8 instead of $30. You've now done worse than if you had simply shorted the put at $12.
He has gone on a /block spree. People who have done this before, in this fashion in such a quick time-frame, usually fade away from the forum, because the people they block are the ones giving them the most salad advice. Because the person has them on block and does not get said salad advice, they fail in their trading, and fade away. This is now the fate of earth_imperator.
Trust me, you wouldn't miss much. I don't even bother to log off to read his posts anymore. Usually, the title of the thread says it all. LOL
Nah he will read our posts. From the way that he still comments on my posts even though he's put me on "Ignore" and blocked me completely, I know he reads our posts. He doesn't dare not to because he knows our advice is solid as he's finding them out in his demo trading. Such is the fate of @earth_imperator, a hypocritical coward who doesn't dare to know himself and face himself but cannot afford not to.
IDK, I kind of like reading posts from @earth_imperator. Many times they seem deliberately botched (perhaps in a sarcastic or pedagogical way). People gang up and eventually point out the, often obvious or basic, flaw and reams of entertaining banter ensues. It's slightly confusing because enough underlying knowledge is demonstrated that a person can't quite understand how the presentation was that poor. Many folks don't even seem to know or care about the substance, they just like to participate in the conversation; it draws you in. Perhaps they even get something by osmosis. This thread is a good example of the motif. It's more fun to read than a clinical description like this; almost like a group version of those "what's out of place in this picture" puzzles. You see everyone's personality come out and @earth_imperator ends up looking like a lovable schlemiel. Okay, maybe it's just me... it is recognized I have a funny sense of fun
I've been improving ET quality that way from the start. You'd be surprised about how quiet and high-quality this place can be.
