Cmon, Danny .......Real World, think Real world.....I know deep down inside that armor of yours; you have a heart. I think the day a nuke goes off In the USA all hell will break lose,,,what comes after that is anyones guess, but it will not be pretty......Life as we know it will change forever....and I mean really change...I dont know how much risk you take when in a position, but if an event like this doesnt wipe me out of the planet,,,,Only losing most of my equity would be a gift from GOD.....peace and congrats on the FFL, but I am closing in on you in FBL...so watch out
Sammybea How would you take insurance out overnight? To me there's only 2 ways, cover all of your position or part of it or buy some calls/puts. If you do the first then you don't really have a position at all. If you do the second then the cost of doing business will eat you alive. To me people tend to think that the risks of holding positions overnight are high, they're not over a period of time.
If a nuke goes off. Put your hands behind your head. Your head behind your knees. And kiss your ass goodbye.
I often wonder about Swing traders and 9/11. Did they all get hammered? Did the smart ones hold onto their longs knowing it was an overreaction and got their money back? Did the smart ones cut their losses quick? Or do swing traders attempt to have their longs balanced by an equal number of shorts so big events have little effect? I think that would be the way to go if you have enough trades to choose from to keep you in balance. peace axeman
