  1. Great tell us about how you concluded that?

  2. Mark, are you fucking real!? You don't have to sell options all the time, only when it 'really' suits. Stop being a dick and get a life.

  3. Black swans are for nerds without a brain. Surely you don't live your life in such a way? Do you accept what you understand, or do you always add for what is unreasonable?


    You can't trade like this. It's not healthy.

  4. Without the childish insults, can you tell us how you concluded that sellers have the edge?

  5. Money! Enough money! Scared money will not take on the 'ideology' of selling options, it just doesn't run true to the 'needy'.


    It is the best 'option'.


    You are 'scared money', and you are doomed to failure whatever road you take.

  6. So basically the answer is NO you dont have any real reasoning that supports your opinion on "edge" in selling options.

    Who is the "you" in "you are scared money" ?

  7. Psychology and money! That's my reasoning! Are you saying that psychology does not exist in trading?


    People with money sell options, and people without money buy options.

  8. The question is about inherent "edge" in being a buyer or a writer. That question has nothing at all to do with psychology. Your perception of others psychology in the market place has no effect on whether one side or the other has “edge”

  9. Look, you will not sell options because you need wealth, some players don't need wealth, and sell options.

    Your idea of risk is based upon what you can afford, others can afford you a thousand times over in one trade.

    Now do you understand?



    You really are living in a monkey bubble.

  10. "Without the childish insults, can you tell us how you concluded that sellers have the edge?"

    The market can only move in 5 directions and in 4 of those directions sellers make money, buyers in 1. Does winning in 4 out of 5 times give you an edge? I think it does.
