    "In the money" does not by itself mean "In the profit".

    Your points don't have anything to do with zero or negative sum game concept/reality.

  4. Difficult to make money using JUST the option formula , at least if you think positively , you will find edges , outside the option formula.

    The option formula is a negative sum tool , a skilled trader will know how to make money and get an edge out of it.

    i found several edges like this chart , I have found 4 of these types of edges.I looked at it with glass half full mindset charts.jpg

    None of this has to do with what is being discussed. Please read up on the subjects of zero sum and negative sum games and then re-post. In addition, please review the concepts of the straddle and "in the money" versus "in the profit" . Thank you for your time.--

  6. A chart is not edge, it is just hypothetical bullshit from a douche pancake...

  7. THANK YOU FOR YOUR POOR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM.

    What do you think of the old saying, “It takes one to know one”?

    The true part of the statement: People who possess a certain quality — especially a really bad one, such as deceitfulness — are quick to see this quality in others because they have them , this is engraingrained in the mind of the who sees these quickly. Psychologists sometimes call this projection. I’m not much for conventional psychology, but I must say that I see evidence of projection all the time. Husbands cheating on their wives are quick to see deceit in their wives’ behaviors, even if the wife’s behavior is nothing more than arriving home 15 minutes late from the grocery store , their mind has it well in advance. People guilty of a certain action often accuse another of that very same action; it seems to calm their guilt and help them pretend that they’re innocent.

  9. you have gone on my ignore list . I keep away from losers.


    learn from the 2 % winners, keep away from losers

    https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=95% lose


    The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
    The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

    Winners see the potential;
    Losers see the past.

    Winners see the possibilities;
    Losers see the problems.

    The Winner always has a program;
    The Loser always has an excuse.

    The Winner says, "It may be difficult, but it is possible";
    The Loser says, "It may be possible, but it is too difficult".

    Winners have dreams;
    Losers have schemes.

    Winners use hard arguments but soft words;
    Losers use soft arguments but hard words.

    Winners make it happen;
    Losers let it happen.
