I guess you are experienced trader, as shorting the calls is very risky, i would rather buy puts and pay the premium. with puts at least there is a max cap on how much i would lose
w/o leverage, short 1 625c will cost a lock down of 60k margin. you need to have deep pocket to do that. risk/reward-wise, i feel like u r using an elephant doing flyfishing. maybe u can get some catfish from time to time, but if u lose once, yr elephant is gone.
My account is showing $100k for 10 contracts. Got a little carried away this time. I usually short no more than 1-2. I am getting a little worried about holding it over the weekend especially since the past few Monday's there has been some kind of bailout or the other. End of day I am getting out. Would like to sleep better over the weekend
I read an article where some think the P/E is dropping due to buybacks of stock and that the world will be chasing fewer stocks offered. That ranks up there with one of the clearest ways to say, "I don't know anything". Even the NY Times ran an article in the fall of many buybacks being to get key ratios above a certain level where multi-million dollar bonuses kick-in and they also fire people. If the firms ...
I normally don't put Alex Jones on as I think he's not nuts, but an opportunist that is not credible. But when a few guests are on I get an e-mail from a friend.
Max Kaiser just spoke of the manipulation that is taking place in all markets by these computers with gas being rationed in England. And I think he became wealthy having something to do with a computer trading platform. He's still on after the break as I type this and will be on YouTube within 24 hrs. Type "Max Kaiser Alex Jones March 30" and tonight it should be there. Tough not to like a guy who says the heads of the banks should all be shot for what they are doing to America. I would demand a trial. Not sure Max Kaiser would.
Did you guys pick up your lottery ticket today. Jackpot is $640 million. You have a better chance of getting killed by a lightning strike, assuming you have two lives. 176 million:1 <- odds of winning.
I do my gambling on the stock market where the playing field is (more) even.

The goal is not uniformity. It is understanding and idea exchange.

No, I said I hope you win, but if you do, don't share...

I had an event happen in my life once that I calculated exceeded 7 million to 1 to happen. A day does not go by that I do not think of it. The odds are actually higher as during the period of 3 months, six events could have exposed this potential event but in every case a human did the wrong thing.
When people tell me the WTC was impossible to not have been an inside job, I run this by them and they can't believe that what took place was possible, but accept it as it happened.
So, if I win this big Lotto, the Odds Gods are even in my book!
